Spoiler warning for Wednesday 12th June 2024. <\/p>

*Warning: Contains spoilers for Wednesday\u2019s EastEnders episode (12th June 2024), currently available on BBC iPlayer.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

EastEnders<\/a> aired emotional scenes for the iconic character Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) in Wednesday\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap has certainly been livened up by a returning stint for the beloved character but fans have seen Bianca struggling \u2013 and acting out \u2013 in recent weeks, particularly with the exit of adopted daughter Whitney Dean<\/a> (Shona McGarty).<\/p>\n

Having helped conceal the infidelity<\/a> between Whitney\u2019s fianc\u00e9 Zack Hudson (James Farrar) and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), Whitney left Walford with her baby Dolly Dean-Hudson and her foster daughter Britney Wainwright (Lola Campbell) and rejected her adopted mother for her betrayal.<\/p>\n

Since then, Bianca has stayed with beloved half-sister Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) but butted heads with her partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman).<\/p>\n

This week, Bianca discovered that Reiss was secretly funding his and Sonia\u2019s IVF treatments<\/a> through funds from his comatose wife Debbie Colwell and forced him to come clean with Sonia.<\/p>\n

Following this, Sonia chose to stick by Reiss and even encouraged him to continue using money from Debbie\u2019s account to pay for it \u2013 to Bianca\u2019s disgust and a threat from Reiss to Sonia\u2019s sister<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Bianca remained firm on her position and Sonia demanded an audience with her sister. Despite Sonia\u2019s decision, Bianca continued to deride Reiss\u2019s behaviour and warned Sonia away from him.<\/p>\n

They fell out further when Sonia felt Bianca was minimising her desire to have another child despite having had a less-than-average experience as a young mother to Bex Fowler.<\/p>\n

Sonia warned Bianca to get on board with her plans or to move out.<\/p>\n

Later in The Albert bar, Bianca opened up to best pal Kat Mitchell (Jessie Wallace) about her situation with Sonia and Reiss before revealing further sad news: she had been diagnosed with depression and had not had a pleasant experience with medication nor group therapy and the waiting list for individual therapy was too long.<\/p>\n

As Bianca lamented how she felt like her mental health was deteriorating, Kat urged her to seek help and speak to Sonia.<\/p>\n

Later, Kat approached Sonia about the situation but when Sonia realised that Kat knew about the situation with Reiss, Sonia marched over to the Queen Vic to confront her sister who was continuing to drink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Zack separately encouraged Bianca to not give up hope on Whitney and to embrace help where she could, Sonia entered and hit out at her sister for gossiping about her and Reiss and also slammed Bianca for making her life worse since she returned.<\/p>\n

While Kat defended her friend from Sonia, a volatile Bianca went a step further and climbed over the Queen Vic bar to announce Reiss and Sonia\u2019s uncomfortable means for funding their IVF before landlady Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) warned Bianca to leave.<\/p>\n

As Bianca broke down in tears and left the pub, Sonia followed after her telling her they had to talk but Bianca felt abandoned by the one person she had left.<\/p>\n

Climbing drunk into her taco van, Bianca prepared to drive away but Sonia implored her to come back to the house so they could talk the situation through.<\/p>\n

A depressed Bianca considered her options but upon noticing an approaching Reiss, she reacted with upset and slammed the van door shut and drove out of Albert Square, leaving an upset Sonia behind.<\/p>\n

Anyone affected by Bianca\u2019s story can visit Mind UK<\/a>, where you can find\u00a0support for depression<\/a>, or call the helpline on\u00a0<\/em>0300 123 3393<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Has Bianca Jackson left EastEnders for good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We do not have it confirmed<\/strong> whether this is Patsy Palmer\u2019s final appearance as Bianca Jackson in EastEnders, but it certainly feels like a goodbye for now, at least.<\/p>\n

Patsy Palmer reprised her role for a short stint to coincide with Whitney\u2019s exit<\/a> but the soap has certainly made the most of her since then too.<\/p>\n

However, the door seems wide open for a potential comeback and we\u2019d love to see her reconciled with her family sometime soon.<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed Patsy Palmer can make a comeback ASAP!<\/p>\n
