A MYSTERY newcomer targets Bianca Jackson in upcoming EastEnders scenes – as two big returns shake-up Albert Square.
The show legend – played by Patsy Palmer – has had an extended guest stint in the BBC soap since last year.
In scenes yet to air, Bianca and Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) head to Beales Eels for lunch where Bianca meets Charlotte.
The pair quickly bond and later head to Harry’s Barn for a drink, but Charlotte has a secret agenda.
At Harry’s Barn, Charlotte’s true intentions are soon revealed when Bianca discovers she is a journalist.
Although Bianca declines an offer of an interview regarding Reiss, her interest is piqued.
She confides in her sister about the interview request, but Sonia is adamant it’s a bad idea.
Meanwhile, attention soon turns to Bex, who returns to Walford ahead of Martin’s funeral.
Bex asks her mum to accompany her at the undertakers to say goodbye to Martin, but an overcome Sonia can’t bring herself to go.
Elsewhere, Martin’s niece Vicki (Alice Haig) also arrives to join her relatives.
Accompanying her is boyfriend Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and Ross’ son Joel (Max Murray).
Vicki explains she has returned for Martin’s funeral before revealing she and Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker) have separated.
Having learnt of Vicki’s return, Alfie (Shane Richie) and Kat (Jessie Wallace) also come face to face with her.
The couple are left shocked when Spencer – who is Alfie’s brother – is nowhere to be seen.
Kat quizzes Vicki on her versions of events, but it’s not long before the true reason behind the breakup is revealed.
Later, Ross urges Vicki to ask Sharon for money, but she rethinks after a chat with Kathy about Sharon’s recent heartaches.
Vicki turns her interest to Ian and asks for a loan after lying about her debt.
Sharon accosts Vicki at the Boxing Den after being informed by Ian, but she quickly dismisses her concerns.
Joel acquaints himself with Avani (Aaliyah James) and Tommy (Sonny Kendall.
Meanwhile, Ross starts to introduce himself to Vicki’s wider family in the Square.
