Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) is of course currently playing piggy-in-the-middle between her former employer – and major crush – Michael Moon and his estranged wife Janine…

And as we’ll see next week’s episodes, Alice becomes increasingly fed up of having to choose where her loyalties lie, because of course also stuck between the warring couple is little baby Scarlett, who Alice is looking after for Janine.

Fans of EastEnders will of course know that super bitch Janine Moon is back on the Square, and as ever, she’s enjoying wielding the power that her money can buy her, and especially so when it comes to her estranged husband Michael…

And as we’ll see as the drama between the couple continues next week, Janine (Charlie Brooks) has plenty of cash and ire to back up her demand that Michael (Steve John Shepherd) give her custody of their daughter Scarlett.
