In the aftermath, fans can expect to see Bobby left feeling wretched about not being able to protect his girlfriend.
Mick plays dirty
Linda is determined to see Mick named as the baby’s legal father when the birth certificate is signed, but Rainie has other plans. She ends up posting flyers all over the neighbourhood stating that Max is the dad – a move that leads to Mick threatening her before taking matters into his own hands.
By Tuesday, Rainie and Stuart will have been left shocked by a false accusation – with Stu ending up issuing a stern warning to Mick for trying to jeopardise his family.
Janine and Zack feel the heat
Janine is trying to make amends with Scarlett, but her daughter doesn’t seem able to forgive and forget so quickly. In a bid to put things right, Janine then tries to get a legitimate job, but ends up being rejected by every business in the Square.
Dr Cole then resurfaces and attempts to entice her to come back to their scam. But Janine seems far more interested in connecting with Zack, with things heating up between the two of them on Friday at Ruby’s.
Ruby’s decision shocks Martin
Ruby has gone for the jugular where Martin is concerned, but the harsh decision she makes leaves him devastated. By Thursday, he’s been left at breaking point and will be seen drowning is sorrows at the club, only for Zack to then come up with a rescue plan.
Jean, meanwhile, visits Stacey in prison to let her know that she’s been charged regarding the drugs stash.
Sheree’s secret is revealed
Isaac states that he’s now ready to find a new job, but Sheree wants to put a stop to his plans and tells him about the forthcoming two-week trip to Trinidad.
Isaac, though, doesn’t want to go, while over at Walford Primary, the school's headteacher is telling Denise that she can’t wait to have him back. However, things will come to a head on Friday when Denise observes Sheree trying to sell the house during a meeting with an estate agent. Backed into a corner, Sheree then admits to a shocked Denise that the move to Trinidad is actually permanent.
Rocky lashes out at Ethan
Suspicions continue to swirl about Sonia’s new love interest Ethan. And it’s Rocky who ends up taking decisive action when, during Whitney’s gig, he spies Ethan at the bar with another woman.
No longer able to hold back his anger, a fired-up Rocky ends up punching the love cheat before being carted off by security.
