Billy Mitchell is a man on edge as he makes plans for a visit from his boss Les Coker in EastEnders. Knowing that he needs to be honest about the recent trouble with tax evasion, the hapless local is a bag of nerves as he anticipates Les’ arrival.
The day is off to a bad start when the fridges in the funeral parlour all break down and Billy and Jay try their best to resolve their problem. Billy is relieved when Les cancels his visit but his calm mood is turned upside down again when Pam arrives in his place – in a very sombre mood.
As she reveals the reason for her arrival, Billy is stunned and needs to find an explanation fast. But when he fails to appease a disappointed Pam, he is sacked on the spot and Jay is asked to take over as manager instead.
It’s a pretty bad week for Billy as he calls Les to try and talk him round, only to fail. When Honey then suspects that he has been having an affair when women’s underwear appears in his washing thanks to a mix up by launderette worker Karen Taylor, the truth ends up coming out after Billy seeks advice from Tina Carter.
Discovering that the pair slept together, Honey is rocked to the core – is Billy about to lose his marriage as well as his career?
Or can he win Honey’s forgiveness?
One to watch: Monday 5th February at 8pm on BBC One.
