EastEnders couple Jake Stone and Sadie Young have a bitter row in tonight's episode (November 21) as they struggle to move on from their troubled past.

Earlier this week, a twist saw the pair revealed as husband and wife - three months after their separate introductions to the BBC soap.

This evening's episode features a tense moment for the characters as Jake (Jamie Lomas) is late to meet Sadie after seeing his secret girlfriend Lauren Branning.

Smelling alcohol on Jake's breath, Sadie is disgusted and seems close to ending their relationship as she vows that she and Bella will move into the new house on Albert Square alone.

Kate Magowan, who plays Sadie, told Digital Spy this week: "I think [Jake and Sadie are] two people who can work really well together. The good times have been really, really good, but there's quite a dark secret that comes out later on which has caused awful problems between them.

"It's basically Jake's alcoholism and the problems it has caused. They've really struggled and you'll see points where they're really trying hard to keep their marriage together."

EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Jamie Lomas will leave the soap later this year.

The actor, who plays Jake Stone, will finish filming with the BBC One show in the summer after bosses decided not to renew his one-year contract.

Writing on Twitter this morning (March 23), Lomas paid tribute to EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins and promised that there are still interesting times ahead for Jake on the Square.
Lomas joined the cast of EastEnders in June 2013 and made his first appearance as Jake in August.

Jake's initial scenes saw him introduced as a new love interest for Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) as they met at a support group for recovering alcoholics.

The pair quickly embarked on a relationship, but it was later revealed to viewers that Jake was married to fellow Walford newcomer Sadie Young (Kate Magowan).

Jake's infidelity caught up with him in January this year as his affair was exposed, leading to the departures of Sadie and the couple's daughter Bella.

More recently, Jake has returned to Walford following a short absence and has been trying to get his life back on track.

Prior to his EastEnders role, Lomas was best known for playing Hollyoaks villain Warren Fox.
