Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) faced a fresh dilemma in tonight\u2019s EastEnders<\/a> (26th April) when Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) issued a desperate plea, just as he was caught up in his own crisis.<\/p>\n

Stacey\u2019s mum Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) is currently in the midst of a mental health relapse, only she refuses to admit it. Meanwhile, she has become engaged to new beau Harvey, who has so far taken Jean at her word that she simply isn\u2019t ill.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s growing increasingly clear that Jean needs serious help, as she went out partying with a group of stags, tried to have sex with Harvey\u2019s pal Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) in the Queen Vic toilets and stole a ring from a local jewellers. Jean has also splashed out on an over the top spending spree for the wedding.<\/p>\n

Last week, Jean\u2019s friend Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) tried to help Stacey convince Jean to go to the hospital for treatment, and she became very upset. But just as we hoped she might listen to her daughter, Stacey\u2019s underhand tactics unravelled all her good work and Jean reported Stacey to the police<\/a> for harassment.<\/p>\n

Now Jean and Harvey are planning to move to Southend<\/a> \u2013 a move Harvey suggested out of fear over incarcerated son Aaron\u2019s (Charlie Wernham) far right pal\u2019s threats towards him. Harvey is, understandably, so distressed by his own problems that he has failed to realise that Jean isn\u2019t herself. This may also be down to the fact that the pair haven\u2019t known each other for very long.<\/p>

Tonight, Harvey got a message that Aaron had been stabbed in prison, and with Stacey at the cab office in an attempt to talk to him about her mum, she accompanied him to the hospital.<\/p>\n
