It was Tanya’s birthday in Eastenders and she opened an unwelcome card from Max (which she promptly threw in the bin). Sean had cooked her breakfast with champagne, but she had other thoughts. Her birthday party was in full swing when Max turned up (invited by Abi and Lauren), holding a large bouquet of flowers. He later spiked her drink and as Tanya made a fool of herself, Max took Oscar and the girls.

Still smarting from being arrested, Phil paid a visit on Jack in threatening mode, but Jack realised that it was Roxie who trashed his flat, as she had left a long black false nail. Ronne tried to cover for her sister and persuaded Jack not to let the police know of the truth. However, far from forgiving Roxie, Jack handcuffed her and drove off with her, effectively kidnapping her. After getting a half-hearted apology, Jack left her in the middle of nowhere.

Disgusted with the filth in the Miller household, Zainab spent the night on the Post Office floor, but showered at the Millers. She finally swallowed her pride and gave Keith the present of some air freshener!

Bradley returned home and suggested that he and Clare had a “Bond Evening”. However, she suggested that he go to Tanya’s party as she had other plans in mind involving Ian. The latter must have thought it was Christmas, when Clare answered the door wearing only a short leopard-print dressing gown. She had more than showing Ian “silver service” on her mind as they shared a drink and she revealed a black bra. She then went on to get tearful and say that she only ever attracted “bad boys”. Bradley turned up to spoil the fun.
