EastEnders‘ Bex Fowler will go missing next week and all eyes turn to EastEnders cast member Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ).
A frantic Sonia rushes over to the Slater house to fill Martin (James Bye) in on Bex’s disappearance, and she is worried when Kat tells her to ask Kush what he knows.
The truth about Bex’s unrequited crush on Kush comes out, stunning Sonia as she realises her daughter was keeping secrets from her.
As she and Martin desperately search for Bex, Ted reveals he saw something strange between the teen and Stuart.
Martin becomes convinced Stuart is behind Bex’s disappearance and when he can’t find him, he leaves a message for his brother Highway to meet him at the Vic.
Later at the pub, tensions rise as Tina Carter tells Rainie to show the photo she took of Bex and Stuart cuddling, unaware it was innocent.
Everyone is shocked at the photo and Stacey Fowler declares it is time to call the police as the residents believe Stuart has been secretly grooming the teenager.
