EastEnders spoilers: The Six unite to save themselves as Denise Fox’s life hangs in the balance
Denise’s mental health has spiralled
The Six make a pact to stick together in EastEnders next week as their secrets are on the brink of being exposed.
Viewers have watched in anticipation as Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) have struggled to keep the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and subsequent concealment of his body under the floor of the café a secret.
In nail-biting scenes, we’ve seen drunken Linda almost spill all to Alfie Moon (Shane Richie); Sharon dart off to Australia, Kathy and Suki crumble at the prospect of the café floor needing to be dug up and Denise’s mental health decline, hallucinating dead Keanu while Stacey has embarked on a steamy affair with her husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).
As it approaches the two-month mark since their worst Christmas ever, Stacey convinces Denise to seek medical help following a horrifying breakdown in front of her step-kids Amy (Ellie Dadd) and Ricky Mitchell (Frankie Day).
Denise’s mental health has spiralled
After another meeting with killer ex-husband Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet), Denise convinces herself she needs to leave Walford to keep everyone safe – driving off into woodland and terrifying young Amy.
Confiding with Suki about her affair with Jack, Stacey makes the tough decision to end their adultery – but their conversation is interrupted by Lucas, who calls to express concerns for his ex-wife.
With a search party for Denise rallying in the Vic, Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) and Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) have a tense conversation concerning the behaviour of their mums – rattling Linda.
