Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) is left speechless in EastEnders next week when she is accused of being to blame for Martin Fowler’s (James Bye) demise by none other than Mo Harris (Laila Morse).
Martin, as viewers know, tragically died in the aftermath of the explosion at the Queen Vic last month after he stayed behind in the rubble to rescue Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).
He and Stacey discussed their feelings for one another and ultimately decided to make a go of things but tragedy struck soon afterwards, with a beam from the roof of the barrel store falling onto Martin’s legs.
The paramedics arrived as he and Stacey talked about getting married again but sadly there was nothing that could be done, with Martin subsequently dying when the beam was lifted.
The entirety of Walford came to a standstill in the aftermath of his death, with the residents intent on honouring the legacy of Pauline and Arthur’s beloved son as preparations were set in motion for the funeral.
Stacey, meanwhile, copped the blame for Martin’s death after Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) tore into her last week.
Upcoming scenes, however, will see the finger pointed at another Walford icon, with Mo accusing Bianca of being to blame for what unfolded on that tragic evening.
The showdown takes place in the cafe, with Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) desperately trying to play peacemaker.
Bianca, as fans are aware, has been struggling in the wake of her ordeal at the hands of Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman), who held her captive in a lock-up for over three months.
Reiss went missing in the aftermath of Bianca freeing herself from captivity and he returned to the Square on the evening of Billy and Honey Mitchell’s (Perry Fenwick and Emma Barton) wedding.
Bianca attempted to confront him during intense scenes, with Reiss desperately trying to evade justice when he crashed into the Vic while trying to avoid running down Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), who had been pushed into the road by Cindy (Michelle Collins).
In the wake of the ordeal, Bianca has been suffering panic attacks so just how will she react to Mo’s wild accusations?
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
