The Six turn on themselves as Denise Fox struggles to cope after murder horror in EastEnders
PRESSURE is at an all-time high for the Six as they continue to hold on to a massive secret.
Unfortunately, their solid group is torn next week in EastEnders as Denise Fox begins to crack. Can they save appearances?
Linda Carter (portrayed by Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu Taylor in an attempt to save her pal Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) who was being strangled by the hunk.
While her intentions were good, this caused havoc in both of their lives as well as in the lives of Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish).
All six women agreed to get rid of Keanu’s body by burying it under Kathy’s café, which was set ablaze by Rocky Cotton.
But in scenes airing next week on BBC One, Denise begins to unravel, unable to cope with a guilty conscience and the Six get horrific news.
Coming up, Suki is spooked when Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) reveals that the builders may have to re-lay the foundations of the café.
She then heads to No.41 to persuade her soon-to-be ex-husband Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) to reconsider turning the café into flats.
Nish surprisingly agrees but the biggest shock comes when Denise arrives – how will Suki react?
This remains to be seen as Denise is going through turmoil, even in her own marriage after Jack Branning’s tryst with Stacey Slater.
The hairstylist arranges a last-minute couples counselling session with Jack (Scott Maslen) but the events of Christmas are still weighing heavily on her.
Meanwhile, Kathy calls a crisis meeting in The Vic barrel store to talk about Denise, but the women are left even more concerned when Suki shares news about Denise’s visit to Nish.
As viewers may remember, Denise struck Nish over the head with a champagne bottle prior to Keanu’s murder as he was trying to force Suki into staying with him.
At the time, Suki revealed to Nish she would be leaving him for her lover Eve Unwin (Heather Peace).
Denise’s actions caused Nish to be unconscious and on the verge of death but he slowly recovered and the late Keanu was blamed for the incident.
Could Denise tell Nish everything that happened in the Vic on Christmas Day?
During his therapy session with Denise, Jack is rattled when it’s clear she isn’t listening.
Later, Jack heads out for air after a heated chat with Denise where he bumps into Stacey who feigns interest for information on Denise.
Unbeknownst to the latter, Stacey and Jack share a charged moment as it’s clear there is still feelings there.
Could Stacey move on to her third Branning man after Max and Bradley?
Will Denise be able to keep it together?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
