Eastenders spoilers: Lola Pearce KIDNAPPED as Ben Mitchell’s dodgy deal catches up with him
Lola Pearce gets caught up in Ben Mitchell’s dodgy dealings in EastEnders next week when she’s kidnapped by Jags Panesar.
As the week kicks off, Ben – who’s played by Max Bowden in the BBC soap - is worried as he’s still struggling to get the money together to pay Jags’ brother, Kheerat, back.
He starts to feel even more fearful when he becomes convinced that he’s being watched by someone.
The Walford bad boy is surprised when he sees Martin Fowler – James Bye - back in the Square, but as Martin pleads with Ben to let wife Stacey come back, he gets a threatening call from Jags saying he’s kidnapped Lola – Danielle Harold.
A panicked Ben blackmails Martin in to helping him and says he’ll wipe the slate clean if he gets Lola back.
Will they get to Lola before anything happens to her?
Back on the Square, Martin is furious when Ben goes back on his word about letting Stacey come home.
Ben tells Martin he needs to find Kheerat’s car otherwise he’ll hand the wrench – which is covered in Stacey’s prints – into the police.
An explosive autumn trailer which was released last week showed a first look at Lola being held hostage in what looks like a grubby bedsit.
The trailer also suggested that the Panesars threaten Ben and Lola’s young daughter Lexi, with Ben warning them to stay away from his daughter.

It was previously revealed that the Panesars will get off to a rocky start with Ben when the newcomers finally make their debut in the show, and with several punch-ups featuring in the three-minute long clip, it is safe to say that "rocky" is an understatement.
It's not all doom and gloom for Ben though, with the character also sharing a sweet nod to his past as a ballerina-loving schoolboy as one brief scene shows him teaching Lexi how to dance while he encourages her to move her hips.
The moment will no doubt be well-received by longtime fans, who have previously questioned why Ben's obsessive love of dancing had disappeared completely.
