Next week on EastEnders, Anna Knight finds herself in a frightening situation as she ends up in the hospital. The BBC soap is shedding light on the rising issue of drinks spiking, with Anna at the center of the storyline.
It all begins with Felix Baker inviting Anna, her sister Gina, and Freddie Slater for a night out at Peggy's. As they prepare for the evening, Gina questions Anna about her relationship with boyfriend Bobby. With a growing attraction towards her former flame Freddie, Gina wonders if Bobby is truly the right man for Anna.
Despite Gina's doubts, Anna stands by her man and the group sets out on their night out with their friends. However, things take a dark turn when they begin to worry about Anna's well-being. Suspecting that she may have been spiked, they search for her but she is nowhere to be found.
The situation takes a serious turn on Wednesday's episode when Anna is found in the hospital. The question on everyone's mind is, will she make it through? And will her family be able to reach her in time?
The BBC has also announced a five-part digital mini-series, Spiked, which will explore the incident from Anna's perspective and include additional footage from her loved ones. Viewers can access this through a QR code in the main episode and choose to watch it on various social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
The show's producers have worked closely with leading charities Stamp Out Spiking and WithYou to accurately portray this issue. The mini-series will also provide information on warning signs to look out for when someone has been spiked.
Executive producer Chris Clenshaw explains, "With incidents of spiking on the rise in recent years, we wanted to address this issue through Anna Knight, who represents the demographic most affected by spiking. We have worked closely with organizations to accurately present and sensitively portray this storyline, and Molly's performance has powerfully depicted the dangerous reality of spiking. Our aim is to raise awareness of the warning signs and symptoms to look out for after someone has been spiked."
