Gassing horror at New Year’s as entire EastEnders family left fighting for their lives
THE New Year is fast approaching Albert Square and residents are determined to celebrate.
But one EastEnders family will be left in danger after a carbon monoxide leak - who will survive?
Many hardships have left the Slater clan reeling this year and it's no surprise they all hope for better days to come in 2023.
Unfortunately, the year will end on another low note for the family and death could be in the cards.
Coming up, the Slater NYE party is in full swing when Jean (played by Gillian Wright) is in her bedroom, fretting about Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) getting cold feet and standing her up.
Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) on the other hand is shaken to see her love interest Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) with husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry).

Meanwhile, Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) comes down and spots Harvey showing Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) a ring-sized box.
Jean, remembering her manic episode which caused her to spiral and ask Harvey to marry her, panics believing he may be about to pop the question.
But Stacey is worried she could accept Harvey's proposal - are they right about Harvey's intentions?
