IF EastEnders' latest trailer is anything to go by summer on the BBC soap will be choc-a-bloc full of drama.

As well as the exciting return of a number of massive characters, the trailer revealed pregnancy drama and a potential DEATH.

No more bins then, eh?

EastEnders have also teased that "life-changing surprises are in store" as Albert Square residents "struggle with the burden of their dark secrets".

Danny Dyer's return as Mick Carter has finally been shown as tensions run high at the Queen Vic.

As we know, Shirley sold the pub's freehold to Max's bosses in a bid to get them out of debt.

However she decided not to tell him and forged his signature, as you do.

Now Shirley will feel the wrath from Mick as he finds out the shocking truth.

In explosive scenes Mick is seen throwing glasses at the wall by Shirley's head as he shouts at her and she backs up against the wall.

She screams that she "did it for him" but he rages on.

The trailer also hints at a return to his fling with Whitney, despite the return of wife Linda too, as he walks up behind her as she stares out of the window, upset.

Mick says in a gravelly voice over: "I missed you."

Meanwhile it doesn't seem like it's going to be a very easy time for Whitney.

She is feeling "lost and damaged" after husband Lee and is trying to start afresh - but what path will she take?

Death could also be on the cards in Walford as someone is seen on the floor, having collapsed in the kitchen.

Denise's money troubles will go from bad to worse and will even end up collapsing as she struggles to pay to eat. Her saviour, however, could end up being Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell), who spots her at the food bank...

Heartbreaking scenes show him sobbing as his voiceover says, seeming to refer to her new love interest: "I didn't go after him, because I know what I'm capable of."

Pregnancy drama is also in store as Bex Fowler is seen going into a pharmacy and purchasing a pregnancy test. A close-up then shows that the test is positive - but is hers?

New families the Murrays and the Taylors are also in the trailer - and it looks like it won't take too long until gobby mum Karen (Lorraine Stanley) gets in a barmy with Stacey Slater.

Also returning into the fray are Robbie Jackson (Dean Gaffney) and Patrick Trueman's wife Yolande (Angela Wynter).

Looks like an exciting summer ahead in soapland!
