In tonight’s episode of EastEnders, we’ll see newly single dad Michael Moon struggling to keep Janine’s businesses afloat as well as take care of his baby daughter Scarlett…
Both Michael and Scarlett have of course been abandoned by Janine (Charlie Brooks) who left the Square last Friday, having taken to heart Michael’s accusation that she isn’t fit to look after their daughter.
So, left literally holding the baby, Michael (Steve John Shepherd) finds he has to rely heavily on Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) to keep things ticking over at Butcher’s Joints, however, it’s about to transpire that Michael doesn’t need to concern himself about the home rental agency any longer!

Masood’s brother AJ is headed to Walford – we’ll meet him in the episode that airs on July 9th – and it seems he’s going to make an enemy of Derek Branning within hours of setting foot on Square soil!

However, it soon becomes apparent to Mas that AJ’s hiding something, and/or running away from something… Read more & comment »
