I
t's the day of Dot's court appearance, but she is already resigned to losing her home. She also insists on attending court alone, turning down the support of everyone who knows about her worrying situation. As Dot arrives at court, the enormity of the situation begins to hit her so she is relieved when she sees Ian. Ian explains that although Dot doesn't want any support, he has hired a solicitor as she cannot do this alone. Soon afterwards, the case begins but Ian can see that it isn't looking good for Dot. Fatboy and Poppy arrive for moral support just as the judge begins to sum up. Interrupting the proceedings, Fatboy asks if he can say a few words, but although he tries his best for Dot, he fails to make the impression he wanted to. However, his words do spur Dot on and she finally finds her voice, telling the court all about the situation she has found herself in. Will this be enough for Dot to keep her home? Meanwhile, when Cora hears what Dot is going through, she gathers everyone in The Vic for a buffet so that they can all be there for her regardless of the outcome. Max and Tanya help out with the food, but Kirsty is jealous of their closeness when she sees them laughing together. Deliberately winding Tanya up, Kirsty comments that Dot should have paid her bills, but she isn't happy when Max sides with Tanya. Later, Sharon sees that Max keeps glancing at Tanya. Unable to keep it to herself, she tells him that Tanya regrets throwing him out when she did, leaving Max reeling‌

anine is back!!
Michael finds his hands full when he realises that Jack has gone away. Later, Michael seeks more help from Alice, not realising that she has developed feelings for him. But that is the least of his worries when a face from the past returns - Janine is back and full of confidence. It's not long before she is trading blows with other Walford residents, including Kat. Later, after sparring with Michael, Janine makes it known why she is really back - and it's clear she means business.
EastEnders has announced that Michael Moon star Steve John Shepherd is to leave the show. Shepherd has played the cousin of Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) on the Walford soap for three years, and will bow out in a "nailbiting plot twist", according to The Mirror. "I feel now is the time to move on," the actor explained. "I have relished every minute of exploring his character - the good and the bad. "I feel extremely privileged to have had this amazing experience and want to thank everybody - most importantly the fans of the show - for taking Michael and his numerous flaws into their hearts." EastEnders producer Lorraine Newman added: "The audience will enjoy the dramatic end. With the return of Janine (Charlie Brooks) this month, expect plenty of fireworks." Former This Life star Shepherd made his debut in the BBC soap in October 2010 under previous executive producer Bryan Kirkwood. A source told the paper: "It's the end for Michael. He has been an immensely popular character and everyone will be sad to see him go."

“Max, I’m Pregnant�
hen Kirsty sees Ava looking at the flat she had her eye on, she immediately tells Max that he needs to put a deposit down by the end of the day. She soon sees Tanya and makes a point of telling her that she and Max will have a place of their own on the Square very soon, but Tanya doesn't rise to it. At the same time, Ava tells Billy about her plans to rent the flat. She admits that they don't have many belongings after what happened, so Billy visits a few of the locals to see if they can donate any items for Ava. Later at the B&B, Ava is annoyed when she finds out that the estate agent has let the flat go. Soon Billy arrives with Tanya, all buoyed up with the items he has collected. Ava is touched, but has to explain that she didn't get the flat. However, they are all stunned when Billy assures her that she did - he overheard the estate agent talking to someone about putting a deposit down, so he got in there first. Ava wonders how Billy got the deposit together and she quickly works out it was Tanya, who did it not just for her but also to prevent Kirsty from getting the flat. At the same time, Kirsty is livid after losing out on the flat. In a foul mood, she argues with Max and brings up how Tanya is always there. Max is firm, telling Kirsty that he'll always share a special bond with Tanya as they have the kids and she wouldn't know what that feels like. As they row further, Kirsty drops a bombshell - she's pregnant.
