Next week on “EastEnders,” Harvey is set to make a dramatic sacrifice for Jean, which could potentially signal a shift in their tumultuous relationship. Recently, the couple has been on rocky ground after Jean discovered that Harvey’s long work hours were driven by his commitment to make money for Maah. Complicating matters further, Harvey learned that Maah’s husband, Abdul, was the target of a failed assassination attempt by Harvey’s extremist son, Aaron. This revelation set off a chain of events, with Maya, seeking revenge, arriving in Albert Square earlier this year.
Harvey’s overworking took a dangerous turn when he nearly faced tragedy after dozing off in a hot car with baby Charlie. Following this close call, Maya decided to sever ties with Harvey, intensifying the strain between him and Jean. Harvey also dropped a bombshell by revealing his secretive work to Jean, which eroded her trust and led her to declare that their relationship might be over.
In new scenes set to air next week, Harvey wins a radio competition offering a trip and invites Jean to join him. Jean declines his offer, which leaves Harvey feeling disheartened. Instead, Harvey decides to give the tickets to Jean and Stacey, a gesture that might touch Jean deeply. This act raises the question: could this gesture help mend their fractured relationship?
Joel Beckett, who unexpectedly returned to Albert Square, was initially anticipating a straightforward scene outside the prison gates but found it to be a surprisingly pleasant experience.
