Bex (played by Jasmine Armfield) has been relentlessly mocked, ridiculed and attacked for a number of weeks by Madison Drake (Seraphina Beh) and Alexandra D’Costa (Sydney Craven).
However, the most upsetting aspect of the torment, which has included the teenager having her guitar destroyed, is that Bex’s good friend Louise (Tilly Keeper) has stood by and watched.
Last week, a newly-returned Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) decided to take action once she heard about her daughter’s problems.
After giving Louise’s step mum Sharon (Letitia Dean) a good dunking in a hook-a-duck pool, Sonia decided to go to the school and tell them about Madison and Alexandra’s bullying.
But, Sonia opted not to tell the teachers that Louise was involved in the attacks, reasoning that she felt guilty enough.
When Louise subsequently apologised to Bex for her behaviour, she had the door slammed in her face, meaning her former friendship was over.
Back at school, Madison and Alexandra were furious they had got into trouble but Louise hadn’t.
In scenes set to air on Monday, the three girls congregate at the Mitchell residence, and the two bullies play games with Louise.
When the teen leaves the room, Madison and Alexandra start rummaging through her rucksack.
What are the girls planning? And will Louise be left isolated from everyone?
EastEnders continues on Monday at 8pm on BBC One.
