Another week in soap has passed but what has been happening?
EastEnders- The
week’s BIG story
Ever since Michael Moon started conning Jean out of
thousands of pounds, it was obvious that sooner or later the truth would come
out. This finally happened this week. The week started with Jean still reeling
after Michael asked her what she was going on about when she asked for the
money back. Of course he denied all knowledge because he was in a cab with
Janine en route to Paris, but Jean was horrified nonetheless. Jean rang Michael
and insisted that she could take a joke but would really like the money back
now because Roxy was getting suspicious and the Vic was running low on Booze
for the Queen’s Jubilee party in the Vic. After visiting the Boxing gym and
asking Jack about the scheme for troubled youngsters that she had invested in,
Jack told her that he didn’t know what scheme she was on about. This really
spooked Jean, who was becoming more and more panicked by the minute. After
spotting Michael arriving back on the square, Jean paid him a visit and once
again demanded her money back. Michael
continued to play games and denied all knowledge.
However, taking her to one side later on in the week,
Michael informed Jean that he would give her the money back if she met him at
his and Janine’s house at 2pm. Of course, this wasn’t Michael actually planning
to give her the money back. He cleverly ensured the house was empty and left
the front door ajar so Jean would make her own way inside. This is exactly what
happened and Janine sure got a fright when she arrived home to Jean sitting on
her couch. Cue Janine’s screeches of ‘What ARE you doing here?’ Jean’s
explanations fell on deaf ears and it was left to Michael who was just arriving
home, to deny he had asked Jean round and to implore that she leave both of
them alone. Before leaving the house, Jean informed Janine that she was going
but that she wanted the money back that Michael had stolen from her. Michael ‘painted’ on one of his signature
looks of disbelief/amusement whilst Janine was left with a look of utter
confusion on her face. This wasn’t the end of the matter though.
Jean finally confessed all to Roxy after the latter searched
the safe at the Vic and found nothing. Initially sceptical, Roxy finally agreed
to believe in Jean after being reminded of Michael’s cruel games with Ronnie
the year before. The pair then searched
Michael’s office at the boxing gym but found nothing as Michael caught them in
act and in typical soap fashion had already been scheming in order for Roxy to
doubt Jean. Cue dolls in baby’s blankets with Amy’s christening band in a cot
in Jean’s room. Despite Roxy insisting that she believed in Jean, she now
turned on her. Realising that she was on her own, Jean began to fall apart
which led to Roxy calling Alfie and tell him to come home immediately. He did- but with wife Kat in tow. Cue awkward
looks between Roxy and Alfie and Kat vowing to get the money back from Michael-
and bring him down in the process. Exciting!
In other news
Afia decided that she wanted to go travelling and within one
episode, was setting off on her moped with all her belongings in one small bag.
Tamwar? She left him behind as she realised that he wanted to come back to
Walford afterwards. In all honesty, Afia’s exit was rushed and a poor effort.
She was a character with so much potential so god knows why she was axed. A
mistake by the producers I think…
After Bobby felt neglected and did a runner, Lucy was left
frantically searching for him. Unfortunately for her, he was spotted by Derek
who takes the opportunity to be nosy and extract information from him about
Ian’s whereabouts. After reuniting
brother and sister, Derek later paid a visit to the café and helped himself to
quite a large wad of the takings. Of course, this was undeserved but Lucy was
left helpless. She later took revenge on
Derek by slipping vodka into Alice’s coke at the Moon brothers’ house party. So
the week ended with many questions. Will Kat bring Michael down? Will Derek get
revenge on Lucy? And more importantly, will Tamwar ever actually smile?
