Viewers recently saw Johnny try to cheer Callum up from missing his jailed husband Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden). But when Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) assumed Callum was moving on, Callum cancelled the night out.

Peter Beale (Thomas Law) is annoyed that half-brother Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) has been promoted to manager at Beale's Eels, rather than him.

Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) points out that Cindy wouldn't do Bobby a favour without motive, so there must be a reason she gave him the job.

Peter wrongly assumes it's down to their family dramas, oblivious to his mum's affair with Junior. When Junior hears Peter, Lauren and Gina speculating about Cindy, he offers Peter a job on his new contract to keep him out of the way!

Cindy is incensed that Peter is working for Junior, and instead offers him the manager's job at Beale's Eels, ready to demote Bobby. When this doesn't work, Cindy orders Junior not to hire Peter, but Junior refuses to backtrack.

Lauren quizzes Cindy on why she's so determined to stop Peter working with Junior. To cover her tracks, Cindy tells a lie to discredit Junior.

As the week continues, Junior tempts Cindy to a late-night glass of wine at his place, so she gets glammed up and makes excuses to sneak over.

But in the meantime, Gina turns up at Junior's door and asks to move in, and he's thrown, panicking that Cindy will turn up. He upsets Gina by rejecting her request, but will Junior and Cindy be caught out?

4. Nish Panesar's desperate move

After bringing Ayesha into the couple's orbit to try and destroy their romance, will Nish's efforts pay off, or will Ayesha, Suki and Eve see through him?

Gina warns Anna not to string Bobby along if it's really Freddie she loves. But Anna insists she and Bobby are great together, and dismisses Gina's suspicions.

Bobby later apologises for taking Anna for granted, and she's cross with Gina for interfering. The sisters argue, unaware that Freddie has overheard Gina saying that Anna is in love with him.
