WITH his son in prison for his extremist activities and his daughter away at university, Harvey Monroe has been able to focus on himself.
Unfortunately, trouble looms ahead for the EastEnders cabbie when he stands up to a villainous Nish Panesar.
Harvey Monroe gets himself in trouble in upcoming EastEnders scenes
He’s already had to watch his two children leave Albert Square
But he makes a new enemy in villainous Nish Panesar
The driver played by Ross Boatman hasn’t had the best experience in Albert Square, notably due to his son Aaron’s involvement with a far-right group.
To make matters worse, Harvey was faced with Jean Slater’s declining mental health as she suffered from a manic episode.
Unable to catch a break from all the drama, he was then catfished by Dotty Cotton who hoped to extort money from him.
But could the gangster portrayed by Navin Chowdhry bring him even more trouble?
Coming up, Harvey lets his anger out in the open and calls Nish for trying to throw his money around to deflect attention from the Slater boiler horror.
He rages that Nish is responsible for the Slater’s problems and publicly humiliates him.
An enraged Nish later rants about Harvey just as his wife Suki (Balvinder Sopal) takes a call from the Health and Safety Investigator.
But why has Harvey decided to confront Nish so harshly?
It all begins during the Slater New Year’s Eve party.
With the gathering in full swing, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) is in her bedroom, worried Harvey will never show up.
But he eventually turns up to the party, which leads to an unfortunate misunderstanding.
When Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) comes down and sees Harvey showing Freddie (Bobby Brazier) a ring-sized box, she immediately thinks he may be about to propose to Jean.
Yet Harvey’s intentions will be the least of her worries.
The party carries on but, soon, many members of the clan collapse.
Jean notably faints in Harvey’s arms while Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) runs to the bathroom to be sick – before she’s found unconscious by Bobby Beale.
The paramedics are immediately called and the Slaters are finally told what caused such havoc.
The family find out they’ve been the victims of a carbon monoxide leak.
Who is responsible?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday.
