Nigel has been facing a tough battle lately. The recent news that he has been diagnosed with dementia has left him feeling lost and overwhelmed. As he tries to come to terms with his diagnosis, another big secret has been revealed about him on EastEnders.
It turns out that Nigel has been living with young onset dementia, a condition that affects his memory and cognitive abilities. Despite his struggles, he recently made a comeback to Walford and has been staying with his old friend Phil Mitchell. However, it has become clear that Nigel has been keeping something from everyone, including his wife Julie.
Dodging calls from Julie and claiming that they had split up, Nigel finally opened up about his diagnosis to Yolande Trueman. In a heart-to-heart conversation, he confided in her that he had been diagnosed a year ago and had walked out on Julie without any explanation. He didn't want her to see him deteriorate and lose his memory.
Encouraged by Yolande, Nigel decided to be honest with Julie and even went to visit her at Reiss Colwell's house. Yolande had previously bonded with Reiss over their mutual connection to the late Dot Branning. As they talked, Yolande realized that Nigel planned to die alone and homeless. Channeling Dot's wisdom, she urged him to live in the present and not give up.
With newfound courage, Nigel headed back to Phil's house to share his health news. However, he found a depressed Phil in tears. Phil revealed that Nigel's friendship had stopped him from relapsing with alcohol and insisted that Nigel take his share of The Boxing Den as a thank you. Reluctantly, Nigel agreed, but the question remains - will he find the strength to open up about his condition?
As EastEnders continues to unfold, we can't help but wonder about Nigel's future. Will he be able to cope with his dementia and open up to his loved ones? Only time will tell. For now, we can tune in to EastEnders every Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream it on iPlayer from 6am.
