EastEnders is about to kick off the final chapter in Mel and Hunter's story, with the news that he's escaped from prison. Mel will actually make the discovery in this Thursday's episode, but by the time next week arrives, she's been reunited with him.

As Mel harbours a criminal in the aftermath, she will take some very big risks in order to ensure Hunter doesn't get taken away from her again.

After deciding to flee Walford once and for all, Mel starts to put the wheels in motion, but it's clear she's playing a very dangerous game. And something tells us there will be no happy ending here.

2. Ben is on a mission

The biggest obstacle Mel actually faces amid her escape plan is, you've guessed it, Ben. Never one to miss a trick, Ben quickly (and correctly) guesses that all is not as it seems with Mel and uses it as an opportunity to blackmail her.

As Ben continues to try and track down his missing sister Louise, he targets Mel for information on her best friend, Lisa Fowler.

After backing Mel into a corner, Ben is triumphant in his plan when she is forced to relent and give him what he wants. But does Ben pose a worrying threat to Mel's escape plan?

3. Whitney makes some big discoveries

As her wedding looms, Whitney's life is about to be turned upside down when she stumbles across Callum's letters from Chris.

Although Callum bottles telling her the whole truth, Whitney's finding is enough to leave her feeling unsettled and she struggles to get excited about her hen night as a result.

However, after some advice from Sonia, Whitney starts to see the situation differently and tells Callum she isn't worried about his past – it's their future that matters.

Sadly, the shocks don't end there as Callum later gatecrashes her party and asks to speak to her alone.

4. Danger for Rainie

As everyone gets into the party spirit for Whitney's hen party, there's an unfortunate incident when Rainie Branning starts to choke on a straw.

When Sonia Fowler notices what's going on, she springs into action and manages to save the day. But given what is taking place elsewhere, it's fair to say this won't be the only drama taking place during the evening...

5. Stuart takes mysterious action over Ben
