Hello everyone hope everyone is well. Welcome to tonight's EastBenders.

Coming up:

t's the day of the swimming gala. Shirley offers Mick a way out as she can see how nervous he is, but he is determined not to let his family down.
At the same time, Dean isn't happy when he learns that Mick is only doing one lap of the pool compared to his own 19. When the time comes for Mick's big moment, can he complete the lap?

Meanwhile, Ian remains under pressure due to Rainie's blackmail. He gets some money together to pay off Rainie once and for all, but Mick spots them parked up together as he drives home from the swimming gala. Ian speeds off when Mick parks up behind him, but then the police pull round the corner…

Elsewhere, as Kat and Alfie wonder why Jean is back in Walford, she tells them that she has left Ollie. However, when visiting Stacey, Jean's true intentions become clear - she drops a bombshell by telling her daughter that she has found a way to get her out of prison…

Also, Stan arranges a belated birthday celebration for Cora. Cora is glad to have some alone time with Stan, so is disappointed when her granddaughters appear and interrupt.

Thanking you all.

Thanks for the thread!

Cant wait for Stacey and Jean

Can someone make a youtube video but cut out jean saying ive come home and make her say sausage surprise? That would be amazing!!

deja vu! been there, tried to do that already Ian - just come clean for goodness sake, tell the police, tell Denise, it will be a huge relief all round if you do - you are NEVER going to be able to pay Raine off as long as she has this hold over you!
