EastEnders - Paul Coker has a romance, a job challenge and a new opportunity all on his mind.

Paul has already grown close to Ben Mitchell and their romance continues when the Albert Square mechanic seems keen to impress him.

A busy day on Albert Square sees Ben's father Phil receive a tip-off from his trusty lawyer Ritchie Scott that the police will be heading to the Square.

Deciding that it's best to take precautions, Phil asks Ben to get rid of a dodgy car to make sure that the police won't be causing any trouble for the Mitchells.

With Paul still playing on his mind, Ben loses his focus on the job at hand and decides to show off by taking the car over to Blades, but his efforts to impress will have embarrassing consequences.

Despite this, Ben later meets with Paul and the pair share another kiss. Can they continue to keep their passion secret?

Paul also faces an important day at work when Dean Wicks challenges him and Lola Pearce to do a 'cut and colour' to decide who will get the permanent job at Blades.

Whether Paul will get the position remains to be seen, but it soon becomes clear that he has another option when his grandmother Pam decides that she wants to get him much more interested in the funeral parlour business.

Paul is surprised when Pam comes to him with a proposal, but will he consider it?
