Lockdown has been a difficult time for several of EastEnders’ finest, but for none more so than Chantelle Atkins (Jessica Plummer), and therefore she makes a huge decision when the soap returns.
Fed up with Gray’s (Toby-Alexander Smith) abuse, Chantelle decides that enough is enough, and thus meets with one of her husband’s rival law firms in an effort to seek out the best divorce lawyer going.
However, she soon discovers that the process is more expensive that she initially thought.
Meanwhile, Gray continues to control Chantelle’s every move, and decides to install a tracking app on her phone, before acquiring her credit card.
Chantelle decides to take a huge risk, as she asks Kheerat (Jaz Deol) if he could lend her the money she needs, but she’s unaware that he’s struggling financially.
In spite of his troubles, he agrees to give her as much money as he can — and ultimately does just that — but he pushes her to reveal what she so desperately needs it for.
Chantelle eventually comes clean, revealing that the cash is for a divorce. The businessman is shocked, but he promises to do whatever he can to help her, and the two ultimately share a moment.
However, Gray soon comes to realise something is afoot, as a divorce lawyer advert pops up on his laptop.
The next day, Chantelle sets her plan in motion to escape with the kids, as the solicitor heads out to work.
The question is: will Gray put two and two together?
If so, will he seek revenge by killing Chantelle?
EastEnders returns Monday September 7 at 8.05pm on BBC One.
