EastEnders fans are fearing the worst for teenage character Louise Mitchell after Thursday's Prom Night cliffhanger on the soap.

The storyline - one of the show's big plots of the summer - has been building for weeks as Louise, played by Tilly Keeper, and best friend Bex (Jasmine Armfield), planned their big night, while bullies Alexandra and Madison plotted to ruin it.

Thursday's episode saw Louise and Bex stepping out with dates Travis (Alex James-Phelps) and Shakil (Shaheen Jafargholi), with Louise and Travis later crowned the prom's 'Most Beautiful Couple'.

Backstage, Travis had decorated the room with candles for Louise - but their happiness proved shortlived.

When Alexandra (Sydney Craven) and Madison (Seraphina Beh) came into the room, Louise called them "pathetic". Madison's temper then boiled over and she pushed Louise backwards, with the teenager landing on a table filled with candles.

As the sprinkler system came on, the episode ended with the prom in chaos and Bex looking back at the stage, with fire reflected in her eyes.
