!["eastenders]("https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2021/10/23328873-low_res-eastenders-october-december-2021-6fdec9d.jpg?quality=90&crop=15px%2C11px%2C1969px%2C1312px&resize=620%2C413" "\"EastEnders")
Skint and stressed Liam hits upon a new business venture, and by that we mean an illegal way to make a quick buck. Helping little sister Tiffany to run a hen party at the club, he finds some car keys that fall out of a drunk punter’s coat pocket so he swipes them with a view to stealing the motor and selling it for profit.
Evil auntie Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) is all for making it a permanent scam, but Liam battles with his conscience at the thought of regularly ripping off his sibling (presumably once is okay?). Tiff remains oblivious and also finds herself torn between ex Keegan Butcher-Baker (Zack Morris) and flash new boy on the block Aaron Monroe (Charlie Wernham). Concerned Keegs gets wind that Liam is up to something dodgy and tries to warn Tiff, but will his protective gesture backfire?
