After becoming pregnant with Ricky’s baby, a pre-natal scan revealed that Bianca's unborn foetus had the conditions of spina bifida. A termination and a heavy period of grieving followed for poor Bianca.

6) The Carol, Bianca and Dan love triangle
Bianca's extramarital affair with her mum's boyfriend Dan Sullivan resulted in Patsy Palmer's original exit from EastEnders in 1999. As the truth came out, viewers were left gobsmacked as the family tore itself apart.

8) Food fight!
More Christmas mayhem as Bianca got a case of the green-eyed monster thanks to the appearance of boyfriend Terry's ex. Air hostess Nikki got a face full of turkey lunch over 2013's festive period.

9) Bianca - arrested
In what felt like a modern-day retelling of Cathy Come Home, Bianca found herself arrested after assaulting a police officer, jeopardising the future of the kids in her care in the process.

10) Fighting with Sam Mitchell
Shared history with Ricky meant that Sam and Bianca were often at loggerheads. This smackdown saw Bianca branded an "ugly, ginger mug" before the fists flew.
