EastEnders: Gray’s downfall revealed in suspenseful trailer

EastEnders has revealed the first look at Gray Atkins and Karen Taylor’s confrontation ahead of the serial killer’s dramatic fall this week.

The inevitable finally comes to Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith) as he is forced to face his reckoning as his murderous crimes come to light.

The Carter family eventually discovered the truth about Tina’s death after her body was discovered and the situation became a race against time to find a lawyer and make him pay.

In a last-ditch attempt to escape justice, Gray will kidnap her baby son and plot to run away, but can Karen Taylor be the one to end his run?

The BBC has released new images of the dramatic upcoming scenes, which show Karen confronting Gray after learning the truth about what he did.

After standing by her beloved son-in-law and believing he can do no wrong, Karen finally realizes Gray is not the innocent man she thought he was.

In the images, which show Karen in tears as she holds a baseball bat in front of a retreating Gray, she will face him on charges that he killed his wife Chantelle Atkins.

Tensions quickly mount and with Gray willing to do whatever it takes to protect herself, Karen will find herself in a dark and dangerous situation.

This comes after a thrilling trailer for this week on the soap showed Whitney confiding in Kheerat that Gray killed Tina and she went to the police but they wouldn’t listen to her.

“We need to stop him,” Whitney said as she spoke to Mick. “He killed two women.”

Whitney admits that she is really worried about Chelsea, the team that is stuck in an abusive relationship with the Gray Lobster.

Dark scenes show him leaning toward Chelsea menacingly as she says: “I know what you did.”

But disaster struck when she later found out that her son was missing when she shouted over the phone, “He’s got my son!”

“I want justice,” Shirley tells Mick, while Gray is seen lurking in an alley before running.

Some clips show a flurry of bloodthirsty residents as a voice announces: “It’s time for Grey.”

Karen is seen bursting into a rage as she screams from a smashed window and then appears to hit Gray something on the head.

Will Karen kill Gray and end the carnage he caused on Albert Square?

EastEnders continues on BBC One on Wednesday 9 March at 7:30pm. These scenes are broadcast on Thursday 10 March 2022 at 7:30pm on BBC One.
