EastEnders reveals heartbreaking diagnosis for Jean Slater as she spirals out of control

EASTENDERS has confirmed Jean Slater’s mental health crisis.

The cleaner - who is played by actress Gillian Wright in the BBC soap - has been spiralling out of control for weeks now.

And tonight her daughter Stacey laid the truth down to Jean’s boyfriend Harvey.

She told him all about how Jean’s bipolar means she will be on top of the world for a while, with no inhibitions or boundaries.

And she warned him how EastEnders favourite Jean is heading for a major crash.

Insisting her mum needs professional help, Stacey thought she had got through to Harvey and he would look after Jean.

But it was all for nothing. At the end of the episode Stacey caught Jean and Harvey driving off for a last minute holiday to Dorset.

Harvey hadn’t listened to Stacey at all and she was devastated.

Turning to Eve, she told her it was only going to end one way - not well.

It has left fans fearing for Jean - though many applauded the performances.

One wrote: "Watching Jean going downhill is so sad to watch and I feel so much for Stacey.

"Jean's interaction with Stacey is such a replicute of when she first came into #EastEnders , it's going to be a hard watch guys."

Another said: "Well done Stacey for saying that to Jean. Must of been hard. But it’s the only way!"
