EASTENdERS

BBC One

KIM is the bearer of bad news as she spots Kathy, below, in the Square and decides to bring her up to date with everything that’s happened in her absence.

Kathy can’t understand why Ian didn’t tell her himself – until Ben explains he’s probably still reluctant to rely on her after she let him spend nine years believing she was dead.

At least Ian’s family are there for him now, which is more than poor Lauren can say as her guilt over Steven drives her to the bottle. Abi criticises her choices for the funeral, while Max won’t even answer her messages.
