Horror in Walford as children are served alcohol – and it will cost EastEnders legends d.e.a.r.l.y
A number of EastEnders children are hospitalised after drinking alcohol next week – and one local is to blame.
It all kicks off when Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) asks if she can hold a party for partner Patrick’s (Rudolph Walker) 85th birthday at The Vic.
Things have been slowly spiralling in the wake of landlady Elaine Knight’s (Harriet Thorpe) separation from husband George (Colin Salmon), and although it’s clear that the event would be too much to manage, she agrees.
Her daughter and co-licensee Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) is overwhelmed by the suggestion, and more so when she’s left alone to manage proceedings herself.
Elaine is enraged to see George step in to help, and lashes out at him, destroying any chance of them reconciling.
Across The Square, Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) has agreed to babysit the younger kids while the adults enjoy the party, and gets permission from Yolande to invite some of his mates over too.
She’s more than happy for him to have his own gathering – on the condition that there’s no trouble.
Troubled newbie Joel Marshall (Max Murray) angles for an invite so that he can get closer to Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd), but Denzel asserts that he isn’t welcome.
Later, Joel’s attempts at chatting up his neighbour are brushed to one side and he makes it his mission to get into the Fox-Trueman household.
With the bash in full swing, Denzel invites his friends in and sends Raymond, Bert and Ernie upstairs with a movie. Joel arrives armed with some booze and tries to bribe his way in.
Something tells us this won’t end well…
The lads then stroll across the road to the pub, and with her head in the clouds, Elaine hands both Joel and Denzel to drink a glass of punch each. Unbeknownst to her, they’re not satisfied with just one drink, and take jugs of the alcohol from the table and dart home.
Denzel’s gathering quickly becomes more lairy, and the teens fail to see Raymond and the twins helping themselves to the punch.
After being rushed to the hospital to ensure they’re okay, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) chat about how irresponsible Elaine was to allow the two to have a drink.
Could this mistake land Elaine in hot water?
