Mick threatens Rainie

Rainie starts shooting her mouth off that Max is the father of Linda’s newborn, not Mick, making the Carters panic their paternity secret will be exposed and the real baby daddy will be lured back to Walford demanding access. Desperate to protect his family, Mick threatens Rainie and does something drastic to discredit her…

Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) seethes when a false accusation is made against his wife and warns Mick not to mess with him and Rainie’s future. The last time these two had a proper stand-off it involved kidnapping, an abandoned warehouse and a whole heap of violence – how far will Mick go to shut Rainie down? And with Bright off on maternity leave soon, could this latest drama drive the Carters out of town?

Janine seduces Zack

"eastenders

It’s usually a case of lock up your fathers, or even your grandfathers, when Janine is single and ready to mingle. However, the recently-returned bad girl sets her sights on someone actually around her own age for once this week when she catches the eye of Zack. The pair enjoy booze and bants at the club, and Mr Hudson likes what he sees… Someone warn him, quick!

Meanwhile, Janine is trying and failing to make amends with Scarlett Butcher (Tabitha Byron). The Ab Fab Edina/Saffy vibe between mother and daughter is an enjoyable twist, it would’ve been easy for Janine’s little girl to be a carbon copy mini-me but instead we have a nerdy, bookish young girl despairing of her mum’s antics. Can Janine get a job and prove to Scarlett she’s a changed woman? Sweetie, darling?

Stacey and Jean reunited

"eastenders

The shockwaves following Ruby’s confession to Martin Fowler (James Bye) that she set Stacey up reverberate, with life-changing consequences for the Fowlers and Slaters. Jean is thrilled when Stacey agrees to a prison visit having previously told her mum she didn’t want to see her again, and the pair catch up on some surprising developments.

Martin now faces an uncertain future thanks to a brutal decision from his wife that he really didn’t see coming. The harassed dad soon finds himself at breaking point and in need of a bevy or six, so he gets smashed with Zack who then comes up with a plan to help his mate. Can Martin move forward? And will he fight to win Stacey back now he knows Ruby’s true colours?

Dana attacked by racists

Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) is pleased when Dana helps him and his pals distribute flyers to drum up interest for the new mosque. The day is married when a gang of thugs antagonise the group with racist comments, leaving them shaken, followed by Dana’s dad Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) who shows up, half-heartedly trying to support his daughter’s boyfriend, and makes a casually offensive joke without batting an eyelid.

Later, the thugs return and attack a distressed Dana, while horrified but helpless Bobby, Iqra Ahmed (Priya Davdra) and Kioni Marwa (Florisa Kamara) look on. The police get involved and Bobs feels rotten for not saving Dana, but what will Harvey make of this? He already disapproves of Bobby and appears to have a problem with his faith, could he blame him for putting Dana in danger?
