Grieving Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was left seething in Tuesday’s EastEnders after a good deed from Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) massively backfired.
Stacey and her kids have been struggling to cope with the loss of their dad Martin Fowler (James Bye), who died in the aftermath of the Queen Vic explosion last month.
While Harvey had been feeling pushed out by the Slaters as they grieved, he was pleased to be able to help Lily (Lillia Turner) when she was unable to soothe baby daughter Charli earlier this week.

As Stacey ransacked the house trying to find it, Lily was forced to confess to her mum what Harvey had done.

‘There’s nothing we can do about it now, so don’t you think it might be a nice idea to hold onto it, have it with us, something to remember him by?’ Lily said.
‘Oh what, ‘cos we’re going to forget him if we ain’t got it?’ Stacey fumed as she stormed out of the house.
While we are yet to see how Harvey finds out about his mistake, his isolation from the rest of the family will only increase over the coming days.
Spoilers for next week have revealed that when his partner Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) pushes him out again, he seeks comfort in the arms of Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth)…
