Auntie hero
EVER since she found out that Hayley was pregnant, Jean has done her best to support her. But the mum-to-be is feeling especially guilt-ridden about her boozing this week after Mariam tells her about the time she cared for a child with foetal alcohol syndrome.
Despite everything, Jean does her best to convince her niece that there’s no need to fret about her heavy drinking.
But when Hayley admits that she did some of her boozing in Spain, Jean starts to put two and two together with regards to the father.
She does some investigating and later asks Hayley some unusually tough questions.
Will Jean get to the bottom of the mystery and discover that the baby’s dad is actually Kat’s husband Alfie?
Hayley initially reacts to the stress of it all by hitting the bottle (again), before doing something even more reckless and heading to the balcony of an abandoned tower block.
After a tip-off from Keanu, Jean and Kat set off to find her.
Can they get through to her once more and talk her down?
Elsewhere, Martin learns some new information about the night of his school reunion, leaving Ruby even more reluctant to go to the police – until Stacey opens up about her experiences.
Sharon and Keanu realise they’ve been rumbled and are given an ultimatum.
And Dot returns from Ireland with some health worries, so she seeks a diagnosis from someone she can trust – Walford legend Doctor Legg.
Will it be good news or is Dot in for a shock?
