Walford resident Peter Beale will turn to drugs next month when he hits rock bottom.
***Warning Spoiler Alert!***
Peter Beale, played by Ben Hardy, will find himself in a really dark place next month as he approaches his 21st birthday.
Unable to deal with the milestone without his twin sister Lucy – who was murdered earlier this year – Peter turns to drugs in a desperate bid to block out his pain.
An EastEnders insider confirmed to Digital Spy that Peter's bad decision will be a one-off rather than an ongoing drugs issue.
Lucy was a regular drug user and some of her final scenes on the soap saw her arguing with her dad, Ian, over her habit.
EastEnders continues on Monday (November 10) at 8pm on RTÉ One.
