Michelle (played by Jenna Russell) was caught “romping” with 17-year-old Preston Cooper (Martin Anzor) during last night’s show, unbeknownst to the pair.
Dennis (Harry Hickles) has finally confessed that he spotted the pair last night, but is now using the situation to his advantage.
Strangely and seemingly out of context, Michelle told Dennis: “I’m just saying, if you ever did need to talk,” prompting the eight-year-old to ask: “About what?”
“Oh, I don’t know Dennis. There’s obviously nothing on your mind is there… is there? I’m just saying… if there ever is. You or Louise, because she left for school really early this morning didn’t she? You just… you know, you make sure you tell her too because I want you both to know you can talk to me about anything. Absolutely anything. Okay?” she continued.
Scalding Michelle with an unexpected reply, Dennis said: “Okay. You mean like if I ever see you having sex with Preston or something? Are you going to see his roommate in Manchester now? I don’t want pasta. Can we have pizza instead? Please?”
Michelle was left utterly speechless as the scheming schoolboy playing her at her own game.
Asking for pizza and Michelle’s laptop to purchase new trainers, Dennis is making demands in exchange for his silence.
One viewer tweeted: “Dennis is a saint compared to Michelle #EastEnders,” as another posted: “What A Likkle #Rapscallion #Dennis Is. Drop It Pon Har DennisDrop It Pon Har Widout Warning #EastEnders #PsychologyGate.”(sic)
A third said: “Dennis is f***ing savage! #eastenders,” as a fourth wrote: “Dennis BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM done Michelle by blackmail #eastenders.”
Blackmailing for pizza, one tweeted: “Did Dennis just blackmail Michelle for pizza??? That boy’s got his head screwed on. #EastEnders,” as another posted: “Dennis is so going to blackmail Michelle for pizza. #EastEnders.”
A third wrote: “Dennis just OWNED Michelle! #EastEnders,” as another tweeted: “I bet Dennis bleached his eyes after. #EastEnders.”
EastEnders continues this Thursday on BBC One at 7:30pm.
