Chantelle prepares for her assessment at work and with the support of her friends and family she passes with flying colours.

Gray surprisingly returns from his work trip and while everyone is celebrating Chantelle's achievement in The Vic, he sets it upon himself to sabotage the celebrations.

Gray is keen to get his wife home but is furious when she insists on staying. He manages to keep his anger hidden from the rest of the residents.

As he continues to feel left out by the Taylors he takes it out on Chantelle when they are home alone by lashing out at her. She decides that enough is enough and bravely stands up to him.

However he makes a U-turn by apologising and begging her for forgiveness. Later while alone she's makes a shocking discovery…

The next day Chantelle feels extremely nervous about her hairdressing competition and it almost costs her chances to win. Luckily with her support system around her they all try to help and bring in an unexpected model.

Chantelle manages to make the final two in the competition but when he husband doesn't stop messaging her she decides to forfeit her place.

Later, Chantelle arrives home to a furious Gray. He's annoyed that she's late for their romantic meal. As one thing leads to another he ends up attacking her.

Meanwhile, Ian has had enough of Rainie's behaviour and ends up confronting her. She retaliates by bringing up their scandalous past – she was a prostitute and slept with him on the night Lucy Beale died.

Unfortunately for them Bobby overhears their conversation and is stunned. Ian is quick to apologise but then Bobby sees a hallucination of his sister and rushes off.

Bobby tries his best to find peace and not let his past taunt him. Back at home after being antagonised again by Rainie it becomes clear that the teenager is not coping – especially as Lucy's memories continue to haunt him.

Rainie and Bobby continue to be at each other's throats but things go too far when she reveals the truth about her night with Ian. Bobby is left distraught and following a conversation with Max, he's disgusted at his dad and ends up throwing a bucket of water at him.

While Max suggests Ian is just honest with his son, Bobby packs his bags and prepares to leave. However following a conversation with his dad, Bobby decides against leaving.

Later things become too much for the teenager and he decides to take drastic actions to confront his past.


Ian struggles to get through to his son and even though Max tries to give him some advice, he refuses to listen. Ian is then left floored when Max agrees to let Bobby stay at his house.

While Stuart tries to support Rainie, she uses baby Abi to her advantage – will anyone be able to help Rainie with her new addiction?

Elsewhere on the Square, Jean Slater lies to her family about her operation being pushed back to stop them all fussing over her.

Daniel sees through her lies and tries to support her as best as he can. As he tries to distract her from her upcoming operation, Jean notices there's something off with him.

Jean begins to question Daniel but he ends up leaving. Jean nervously waits for her operation but luckily Kat Moon arrives in time. When Kat realises how scared Jean is she promises her that she's not alone.

Later Jean is over the moon when she receives a phone call from Stacey Fowler but their conversation is cut down following a visit from Daniel. He has some heart-breaking news for her – his cancer has spread.

Over to the Butcher family and Bianca prepares for her girly weekend away. Sonia Fowler reveals she's worried about Bex Fowler, but Bianca brushes her off – leaving Sonia annoyed.

Keegan Taylor speaks to Tiffany Butcher and she's left doubting whether she should go away with her mum or not. She then decides to not go away with Bianca.

Tiffany then slates her mum for not being there for her over the past few months and it's not long until they're having a heart to heart.

Tiffany is later floored by her mum's bombshell… later Bianca thanks Sonia for everything she has done for Tiff.

When Phil Mitchell overhears Sonia revealing that she rarely ever sees Bianca he decides treat them with an anonymous gift – dinner and drinks.

Bianca, Sonia and Robbie all sit together and reminisce about the good old times.

Elsewhere Tina is very tempted to go away with Shirley when she reveals she's doing a job abroad for Phil. Soon after Shirls asks her to come along – what will Tina do?

Before any of the above happens, here's what's in store for the Eastenders residents this week...

Whitney Dean discovers Bianca Butcher is on her way for her wedding day but she's currently missing. She's still apprehensive following all the drama with Callum Highway and Ben Mitchell so sets about finding her step mum.
