Tiffany physically attacks her aunt in a shocking scene, which will threaten to turn viewers against her.
Shocked by her actions, Sonia locks her niece in a room and turns to Jack Branning for help but, when they get back, they’re stunned to find the teen has escaped.
When they turn up at Ted’s flat in an attempt to track her down, they are further horrified by what they find.
EastEnders fans know that over the past few months, Tiffany has been roped into delivering drugs for Evie, who has been grooming the young girl and manipulating her into believing no one else cares for her.
Tiffany has been recruiting people for Evie, as well as dealing drugs herself on behalf of her friend.
Now, with Evie’s link to a dangerous gang revealed, viewers know she is in deep doo-doo. And so is Tiffany as she seems determined to stay by Evie’s side despite the possible consequences.
We now know that Evie’s boyfriend is a very dangerous man, who is now baying for their blood after they were unable to raise enough drug money to placate him.
In uncomfortable scenes, Tiffany – under house arrest by her worried family – showed them her bruises, as she revealed: “If you don’t pay, people get rough.”
She then revealed that another girl who owed the drug dealer money ‘disappeared’.
Will Evie’s dodgy dealing lead to her murder? And will Tiffany get caught in the crossfire?
