EastEnders fans divided as Kush sneaks Jean’s medication into her food

Jean hasn't been taking her medication for weeks now

EastEnders fans were left shocked after Kush went to desperate measures to make sure Jean took her bipolar medication – by putting it in her food.

Over the last few weeks, viewers have noticed a change in Jean’s behaviour.

She has become more erratic, especially since family friend Whitney was kidnapped.

In Monday’s episode (Monday, May 4), when Whitney returned home, she called her ‘Stacey’ causing Kush to become worried about her.

In last night’s episode, (Tuesday, May 5) Kush discovered Jean hadn’t been taking her medication. After speaking to Shirley, Kush found Jean having a go at Phil Mitchell.

After bringing her home, Kush confronted Jean about not taking her pills. But Jean didn’t want to start taking her medication again, saying she could now focus clearly.

However, Kush went to extreme lengths to make sure she did take her medication. He crushed up the pills and put them in her food, leaving viewers shocked.

Some agreed he did the right thing to make sure Jean was taking her medication.

However others flagged how dangerous it is, as he may end up giving Jean too much.

What happens next for Jean in EastEnders?

In next week’s episodes of EastEnders Kush continues to worry about Jean’s behaviour.

Shirley tells him the police have arrived and he’s stunned to learn Jean called them. It turns out Jean rang them multiple times about Whitney’s disappearance, despite her returning home.
