Hayley moves out of No 31
SHE’S UPSET AS HER FAMILY INTERFERES AGAIN…
This is a reality check for Hayley – this is actually happening!”
The Slaters rally round Hayley this week, supporting their pregnant relative who recently threatened to end her own life. However, their kindly interjections make things worse – with Hayley moving out!
Although Jean has done her best to give encouragement to Hayley, the other family members haven’t realised that their relative has been feeling so tormented. That all changed, though, after the young woman made her way to the edge of a balcony at an abandoned block of flats…
“Obviously these pictures show that Hayley is alive after the incident, but her life will still be a misery if Kat finds out that the baby’s father is Alfie!” reveals our Walford spy. “Hayley feels so guilty, she’s a hair’s breadth from confessing, even though it would ruin everything!”
Back in Albert Square, Jean encourages the Slaters to buy things for the baby. However, as far as Hayley is concerned, Jean’s efforts are completely undermined by the arrival of a social worker, who turns up at the house to talk to her about her recent ordeal.
“This is probably the worst thing that could happen right now,” groans our mole. “Hayley is already feeling emotional and fragile, and she can barely cope with talking to her own family – so having to open up to a total stranger goes beyond the pale, and she just sees red! She angrily turns on Jean, assuming that she was the one
who called for outside help. But it was actually Kat who stuck her nose in – and when she finds out, Hayley is incandescent with rage! The two women end up in a huge row – will Hayley blurt out her shameful secret in the heat of the moment?”
Once things have calmed down a little, Jean does her best to reassure Hayley. However, just when it seems that her words might be doing some good, the pair are thrown into complete panic, as Hayley’s contractions start!
“This is a reality check for Hayley,” exclaims our source. “As she rushes to the hospital, the penny finally drops that this is actually happening. And to complicate things further, Jean makes a huge spur-of-the-moment decision that will change everything!”
Back at No 31, Stacey tries to reason with Kat about her attitude towards Hayley, though Kat isn’t having any of it. Stacey tries to intercede, making excuses for Kat’s behaviour, but to no avail.
Despite Stacey and Jean’s support, Hayley later comes to a huge decision. But what could it be? And whose lives will it directly impact?
