Drunk Bianca lashes out after getting upsetting news about Whitney in EastEnders

Tensions between Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) reach breaking point in EastEnders next week.

Bianca has found her sister Sonia’s (Natalie Cassidy) boyfriend to be quite the oddball since they met earlier this month.

Despite that, she’s had bigger fish to fry with the drama surrounding her adoptive daughter Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) who departed the Square last week after sixteen years.

On Whitney’s wedding day to Zack Hudson (James Farrar), their foster daughter Britney (Lola Campbell) exposed his affair with Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) in front of all of their friends and family.

Whit was understandably devastated, and decided to pack her bags and move to Wakefield to live with her brother.

Bianca jacked in her job at the Bridge Street Cafe, intending to join them, but when Whitney discovered that she knew about the fling, she was cut off from her life for good.

In upcoming scenes, things continue to be fraught at No. 25 when Reiss loses a major client and wonders whether he’ll be able to support Sonia and their unborn baby.

Sonia explains to Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) that he’s looking to take on more work, and suggests he talk to Phil (Steve McFadden) who is looking for an accountant.

Phil agrees to interview him, but it doesn’t go to plan. Reiss heads home and tries to consume the family in his own woes, unaware that Bianca has heard from Whitney that she isn’t ready to forgive her.

The two squabble and Bianca drowns her sorrows at Peggy’s, before launching a huge row at him and spurting some hurtful and horrible insults.

The row is enough to convince Reiss that Bianca needs to leave, and he tells Sonia that she must tell her sister to leave. She tries to talk him round, but he stands firm.

However, little do they know, they’ll soon have bigger things to worry about…
