Bex Fowler (played by Jasmine Armfield) was seen preparing to reveal who was really behind the sharing of Shakil Kazemi’s (Shaheen Jafargholi) intimate snap around Walford High School, but was stopped in her tracks.
Will revealing the truth result in a far worse situation for Bex as the school bullies plot to come after her for revenge?
Bex said to her “friend” Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper): “I just wanted to warn you, yes, because I have kept my mouth shut all day Louise and it has killed me. My dad is virtually begging. I can’t carry on doing it.
“When I go down that station tomorrow, I am telling the truth. It wasn’t me who posted that photo of Shakil, it was you! My dad reckons he’s seen kids get expelled for less.”
Agreeing to “step up” and back Bex, Louise then said she didn’t know the “exact legal rule” as it wasn’t her idea.
Blaming school pupils Alexandra D’Costa (Sydney Craven) and Madison Drake (Seraphina Beh), Louise continued: “It’s your word against theirs. If you snake on them, they’ve already got beef with you. You want to really think about it, because I don’t know what they’d do next.”
One viewer tweeted: “Carmel that was brilliant. Plz tell the truth Bex. My heart’s breaking for you #eastenders.”(sic)
“SOMEONE HELP BEX FFS #eastenders,”(sic) posted another as a third wrote: “Just wish Lou and Bex to go back to the way they was before #EastEnders @tillykeeper @jasarmfield.”
A fourth said: “Louise is such a s***ty friend. Bex should have just told the police about her #eastenders.”
Actress Jasmine later tweeted: “Thank you all SO much for all your kind messages about tonight’s episode! Truly grateful.”
EastEnders continues this Thursday on BBC One at 7:30pm.
