Bianca Jackson and Ronnie Mitchell come to blows in the Queen Vic over the death of Ronnie’s daughter Danielle.




Still bitter about her break-up from Ricky and intent on causing trouble, loudmouth Bianca walks in after Ronnie closes for the day.




Using a distressed Dot Cotton, she tells Ronnie the old dear “is desperate for a drink”, before all hell breaks loose.




Our Albert Square insider told the Daily Star Sunday: “Upset by some rowdy punters Ronnie ends up kicking everyone out of the Vic when she decides to close the pub before last orders.




“Then Bianca turns up and starts banging on the door with poor old Dot in tow.




“After worming her way inside Bianca is quick to forget Ronnie’s hospitality.




“And when the pretty blonde then tries to join in their conversation, Bianca flips and starts hurling insults at her.”




Our source revealed: “She lays into Ronnie about Jack Branning. But Ronnie isn’t any better when she then accuses Bianca of being a bad mother for letting paedophile Tony King into her home last year.




“It doesn’t take long for things to get out of hand and, in a low blow, Bianca tells Ronnie she can’t talk about being a good mother when her own daughter ended up dead.




“It’s then that things really kick off and the pair of them come to blows.




“Bianca slaps Ronnie hard around the face and a fight breaks out as both women struggle to tear at each other’s hair.

“Dot, who has left the pair of them to go to the ladies, comes back to find the chaos.




“And after interrupting the fight she angrily tells both women they’re lucky and privileged to ‘still have their freedom’.”




Viewers can watch all the amazing action unfold on Tuesday August 18 at 7.30pm on BBC1.

A little more on this week:-

Ronnie gets a shock at The Vic
Airs on Monday, August 17 2009 at 20:00 BST on BBC One

Peggy's fuming by Archie's decision to buy the Car Lot, while Janine looks at the new 'Mitchell's Cars' sign. Archie suggests that he may have a job for her, but she expresses her disinterest. Meanwhile, Ronnie goes to see Joel at his office and learns that Archie gave him a wad of cash to stay away. As they discuss the past, Ronnie's surprised to learn that Joel did try to make contact with her after Archie forced him out of her life when they were teenagers. Joel admits that he's married, but is surprised that she already knows. She goes on to say that she paid him a visit the previous October and saw his daughter at the door.

Joel admits that he wants to be friends with her but feels guilty because he has a family. Ronnie leaves to give him some time to think and says that she'll wait for him at the pub - if he doesn't turn up, she'll move on. At that moment, Joel's wife Stephanie walks into the office. Back on the Square, Ronnie goes to see Archie and lambastes him for trying to pay off Joel, but he assures her that what he does is for her own good. As Ronnie waits for Joel at The Vic, she excitedly bounds downstairs when Roxy shouts that she has a visitor. She's shocked, though, to see Stephanie stood at the bar with her three children. She pleads: "Stay away from him please."

Meanwhile, Bianca's still annoyed that Ricky 'ruined her date' with Al and asks him to see if Al will agree to another. Bianca heads to the launderette and talks to Heather about pregnancy, before spotting a 'Two for One' poster for the Argee Bargee. In The Vic, Ricky awkwardly broaches the subject of Al going on another date with Bianca, but Al thinks that Ricky's asking him on date instead! Ricky, however, quickly puts him straight. Al declines another date with Bianca because she's 'gobby' but Ricky sticks up for her. Later at the Argee Bargee, Bianca's waiting for Al but isn't happy when Ricky turns up with the news that the doctor won't be attending. An argument between the pair ensues and when Ricky suggests that they have a quiet meal together, Bianca storms out.

Elsewhere, Denise and Zainab compete in the celebration stakes; Dawn's obsessed with cost-cutting for the wedding, but is impressed by Garry's dress suggestion; Liz finds Dot's mystery box in the bin and returns it to her; Roxy and Christian have cross words when Christian tells her that she's the most self-obsessed person he's ever met; a nurse from Jim's care home called Leonie turns up at the launderette and tells Dot that Jim's ready to return home; Christian invites Syed over to the flat; and Dot handcuffs herself to a shelf in the launderette.


Bianca and Ronnie bond at The Vic
Airs on Tuesday, August 18 2009 at 19:30 BST on BBC One

Bianca wanders past the launderette and spies Dot inside, handcuffed to a shelf. Inside, Bianca searches for a key, but Dot insists that there's no point in looking as she has it. She passes the mystery box to Bianca and reveals that it's a retirement present. An emotional Dot breaks down at the thought of retiring and tells Bianca that she doesn't want to leave. In The Vic, Ronnie throws everyone out and closes up when Roxy makes a remark about her. As she stares at her phone and Joel's contact details, there's a bang on the door - it's Bianca and Dot.

Ronnie begrudgingly lets them in and an argument between Ronnie and Bianca soon breaks out as they make snide comments about each other's lives. The final straw for Ronnie comes, though, when Bianca mentions Danielle. With that, Ronnie slaps her and a catfight ensues. Dot returns from the ladies' and announces that she wants to be alone, before returning to the launderette.

Later, Dot's looking at pictures of Jim, Ethel and Pauline, while Ronnie and Bianca continue to argue in The Vic. Bianca soon apologises to Ronnie and reveals that she once lost a child, a baby daughter called Natasha. Ronnie goes on to ask about Ricky and whether they snuggle up together at night but Bianca insists that he's 'just Ricky'. Ronnie goes upstairs and Bianca helps herself to a drink. She heads across to the jukebox, puts on a song ('Wonderwall' - her and Ricky's first dance at their wedding) and looks at Ronnie's mobile that is full of messages from Joel. When Ronnie returns, the conversation turns to Joel and Ronnie reveals that he's Danielle's father.

Ronnie and Bianca continue to discuss who they'd 'marry, kiss or push off a cliff', before talk turns to Ronnie's usual black attire and Bianca's jacket. Dot returns to The Vic and shows them her retirement clock and insists 'the older you get, the faster it goes'. She also suggests to Ronnie and Bianca that they remind her of Ethel and Pauline. When Dot disappears again, Bianca breaks down and admits to Ronnie that she let the best thing that ever happened to her slip through her fingers - it's only ever been about Ricky. Bianca leaves, resolute on coming clean with Ricky, while Ronnie deletes all of Joel's messages.

Returning home, Bianca's puzzled to find a note that reads: 'Had to go away. Tell Liam I'll call him. Ricky'. Ronnie goes to Joel's house and gives him an ultimatum: 'If you love me, you will come home with me tonight'. And Dot calls Mr Papadopolous to say that she has no intention of retiring and that she'll be working her normal hours.



Jim returns home
Airs on Thursday, August 20 2009 at 19:30 BST on BBC One

It's A-level results days for Tamwar and Libby. Denise and Zainab are excited and when Tamwar wakes, he's ushered out of the house to be shown his present - a car. Tamwar initially asks his mother not to go with him, but he eventually relents and agrees that she can. Denise and Zainab wait patiently for their children to emerge with their results and when they do, Libby's ecstatic that she's made her grades, while Tamwar's not so happy. Back at home, Tamwar's uncomfortable as his family fuss about his party. Over at the Foxes, everyone's preening themselves for their meal at Fargo's - until Trina turns up. Denise is incredulous and asks Lucas to get rid of her. He's suspicious that she's on drugs again because of her strange behaviour.

At Fargo's, the Foxes and Masoods are sat on adjoining tables and everyone urges Libby to make a speech. However, she only says 'thank you', which prompts Chelsea to say some heartwarming words about Denise. Zainab's moved by Chelsea's speech and even tells Denise that she's done a marvellous job raising her children. As Zainab walks away, she stumbles slightly. Back at home after the meal, Masood finds Zainab in the kitchen crying that all of her children have left or are about to leave home.

Meanwhile, Liz tells Dot that she's concerned about her first day on Ian's stall. However, they're interrupted by a phonecall from Jim's nursing home asking if they can check the grab rails. Dotty overhears and is excited at the prospect of her granddad returning home. Over tea, Dot tells Liz that Jim's return may not even happen, so she's fine staying at the house. On Dot's arrival at the house later, Liz announces that she has a visitor who greets her with a smile - Jim's home.

Elsewhere, Ronnie tells Joel to ignore Roxy's standoffish behaviour; Christian reveals to Syed that the police have caught Luke, the man who attacked him; Roxy confronts Ronnie about her actions and reminds her that she's splitting up a family; Roxy tells Joel to ask Ronnie about Danielle; Syed tells Christian that he'll spend the night with him if he braves going out; Ronnie tells Joel the truth about Danielle; Christian braves a trip to the Minute Mart, but scrambles inside when he nears his flat; Roxy reluctantly apologises to her sister but at the same time suggests that she doesn't actually love Joel; Roxy meets with Dr Al again; and Bianca's confused when Dawn reveals that Ricky's away 'doing a job' for Phil.


Phil makes a shock revelation to Minty
Airs on Friday, August 21 2009 at 20:00 BST on BBC One

Minty's surprised to find Garry sleeping on the sofa, but Garry insists that he's saving himself for the wedding night. Later, Garry and Minty discuss the stag night but Minty's frustrated to see Dawn and Phil laughing and joking together. Minty asks Dawn what they were laughing at and an angry Dawn claims she was talking about her future with Garry, before storming off. Minty asks Phil whether he and Dawn are 'back on', but Phil simply tells him to mind his own business. In the launderette, Garry manages to take the pink fluffy handcuffs.

Returning to the Arches, Garry handcuffs Minty and Phil together until they discuss the stag night. While locked together, Minty asks Phil if Dawn dumped him, before admitting that the best man won. Once inside The Vic, Minty continues to taunt Phil about Dawn's choice, but Phil snaps - and admits that she actually chose him.

Meanwhile, Dot's thrilled that Jim's back home and tells Liz that she's more than welcome to stay on the sofa. Heading out, Dot tells Jim that he only has to call her if he needs anything. With Dot out, Liz tells Jim that she'll make the call for him. Patrick soon arrives at the house with some cans of beer and dominoes for the three of them. Dot returns to find Liz and Jim drinking and playing dominoes and talks to them in the kitchen. Dot asks Liz to pack her bags but Patrick shows her the middle room downstairs which now has two single beds so that Jim and Dot can share. Later, Jim agrees that Liz can now stay in Dot's old room which is now 'spare'.

Elsewhere, Bianca asks Phil where Ricky's gone; Zainab hears Masood talking to someone on the phone in Urdu; the kids question Bianca as to Ricky's whereabouts; Tamwar tries to tell his mother something; Zainab turns up at Christian's flat, much to Syed's horror; Ian gives Bianca a week off; Zainab has a funny turn in the Masala Queen unit; Christian finally appears at work; and Masood reveals his travelling plans to Zainab.
