Mo (Laila Morse) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) land themselves an impressive new job in EastEnders next week – that could lead to them discovering some dirt on another local.
It all kicks off when Jean returns from her holiday in Greece with daughter Stacey (Lacey Turner).
The two women have been away since Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) won the trip on Dermot O’Leary’s radio show. Feeling guilty after sidelining her for Maya Hussain (Bharti Patel), he offered the women a getaway to try and make amends.
Unfortunately, his plan hasn’t gone smoothly and Jean makes it clear that he’s still very much in the doghouse!
Things look up for Jean later in the week, when she and Mo decide to accost Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) in the Square – and bag themselves a temporary job cleaning No. 1.

The half-brother of Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) recently moved into the end-terrace house with his sons Harry (Elijah Holloway) and Barney (Lewis Bridgeman), having purchased it from serial killer Grey Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith).
We also know that the three new Mitchell men moved to Walford to escape someone, with Harry mentioning that ‘you know who’ had been sniffing around their old house, trying to find out where they’d moved to.
Since then, Teddy has also employed Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) to fiddle his accounting books to hide his wealth from his wife Nicola.
We do know that Holby City and Doctors actress Laura Doddington is set to join the show having been cast as the mysterious Mitchell woman.
On her casting, executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: ‘Like all the great Mitchell women, Nicola is feisty, strong and loves her family.
‘She and Teddy share a very complicated history, which will be fun to explore, as will her relationships with her two sons.’
Could Jean and Mo soon come face-to-face with Nicola?
Or could they find something suspicious at No. 1 that leads them to do some digging on her?
