Bianca Jackson and Grant Mitchell, two former residents of Walford, are about to cross paths once again as EastEnders celebrates its 40th anniversary. The decades-old rivalry between the two enemies is reignited in this week's episodes.
Grant has recently returned to Walford to support his brother Phil, who is going through a mental health crisis. Meanwhile, Bianca has made guest appearances in the soap over the past year. Both Grant and Bianca have a shared history, having lived in Walford during the 1990s. Grant was previously married to Bianca's best friend, Tiffany Mitchell.
Tiffany tragically passed away on New Year's Eve in 1998, after being hit by a car during a heated argument with Grant. The incident left a lasting impact on Bianca, who had always despised Grant. In fact, she named her daughter after Tiffany in memory of her late best friend.
As the anniversary week unfolds, there is more drama in store for Bianca and Grant. Bianca's sister Sonia tries to bring some normalcy back into their lives following their traumatic experiences with Sonia's ex-fiancé, Reiss Colwell. Despite initial resistance, Bianca eventually agrees to attend the wedding of Honey and Billy Mitchell with Sonia.
However, things take a turn when Bianca is faced with Grant at the wedding. Their classic EastEnders-style argument ensues, much to the dismay of those around them. But this is just the beginning, as a blast rocks the wedding reception at The Queen Vic, leaving the lives of several beloved characters hanging in the balance.
Emma Barton, who plays Honey, promises a week of intense, emotional and unforgettable episodes. The anniversary week culminates in a special live episode on Thursday, which is not to be missed.
