HE SUFFERS MORE HALLUCINAT­IONS, LEADING TO DEADLY DANGER…

- Laura-jayne Tyler

Bobby Beale finds himself in a perilous situation this week, as he continues to be tormented by visions of his dead sister, Lucy!

Following a dramatic showdown with his father, Ian, harassed Bobby decided to move out of No 45 and live with Max across the Square. But when Max’s brother Jack makes it clear that their new lodger isn’t welcome, his furious reaction sets off a horrifying chain of events…

“There was absolutely no way that Bobby was going to team up with the Branning brothers and live happily ever after,” insists our Walford mole. “There is no quick and easy fix for Bobby’s problems. He needs some profession­al help – and time to heal.”

After Bobby overhears Jack ranting at Max, he flees their gaff and returns to the Beale house, where his gran, Kathy, finds him behaving erraticall­y. What Kathy doesn’t realise, though, is that Bobby is secretly suffering from hallucinat­ions of Lucy, causing his anxiety to sky rocket. Concerned Kathy tries her best to help – but makes a terrible decision without knowing all the facts, causing Bobby to flip out and disappear into the night…

“Bobby wakes up in the park, before bumping into Callum on his way home,” shares our sneak. “Callum – who served in the Army and recognises the symptoms of post-traumatic stress – can see straight away that Bobby is deeply troubled and tries to help him.

Rainie attempts to reassure Bobby while, back on the

There is no quick and easy fix for Bobby’s problems – he needs profession­al help…”

Square, Ian and Kathy blame each other for Bobby’s disappeari­ng act. Meanwhile, no amount of coaxing and reassuranc­e seems able to convince Bobby that his friends and family want to help, when the only voice that he can hear is Lucy’s.

With that, Bobby tries to confront the ghosts of his past head on – and winds up in a very dangerous situation. Can anyone reach him in time before the worst happens? Or is there no way back for Bobby’s tortured soul?
