EastEnders viewers were left in a state of ‘cringe’ as Jean Slater tried to seduce Phil Mitchell in last night’s episode (Tuesday, May 26).
Last year, Jean’s daughter Stacey attacked Phil in order to stop him from hurting her husband Martin. Phil’s son Ben found out what Stacey did and told her to leave Walford.
Over the last few weeks, Jean has been struggling with her mental health and desperately wants to see Stacey.
In last night’s episode, Jean planned to leave Walford to visit her daughter. But knowing she isn’t well, Shirley managed to stop her and took her for a cup of tea in the cafe.
Jean told Shirley it was because of Phil that Stacey couldn’t return and wanted to know how to get through to him. Shirley told her friend that Phil only thinks women are only good for one thing.
Shirley assured Jean she would speak to Kush about contacting Stacey.

But Jean took matters into her own hands and used what Shirley told her to try and seduce Phil.
After sneaking into the Mitchells’ home, Jean proposed to Phil that she would sleep with him in return for Stacey being allowed to come back without repercussions.
Knowing something isn’t right with Jean, Phil made a call to Shirley. However viewers were left ‘cringing’ at the scenes.

Jean and Phil had me cringing so hard.
