Over on EastEnders, Stacey Branning makes a worrying discovery when she realises that Belinda Peacock is already in serious debt with her new business.

Belinda (Carli Norris) has recently launched her own salon Elysium, but it turns out that keeping track of the figures isn't exactly her strong point.

Stacey (Lacey Turner) tries her best to help out by going through the finances with Belinda, but it's clear that they have quite a task on their hands to fix this mess.

Ever resourceful, Belinda comes up with a plan to bring in some new investors and puts together a presentation to impress interested parties.

When Belinda tests out the presentation on the Carters and Linda seems genuinely interested, Belinda tries her luck by suggesting that the family should invest for real.

Will Mick and Linda agree to stump up any cash?

Monday

With Pam and Les gone, today is Billy's first official day in charge of the funeral parlour. He tells Honey that they should consider moving into the flat above, giving them a fresh start.

Billy's first day starts on a difficult note when he realises that the other staff have been taking advantage of him, so he calls a meeting to stamp it out and show them who's boss. Will the day turn into a success once Billy has stood up for himself?

Meanwhile, Kim is upset when she finds out about the local residents taking bets on whether she can pass her driving test by Christmas.

Elsewhere, Ben gets annoyed when Kathy turns up at his latest hospital appointment to discuss the liver transplant and starts to interfere. Is Kathy making matters worse when she tells the doctor everything Ben has been through recently?


Tuesday

Stacey is surprised to learn that Belinda's salon is already in serious debt. She tries to help out by going through the finances with Belinda.

Later, Belinda tries to turn things around by bringing in some new investors, so she tests out her presentation on the Carters. When Linda seems genuinely interested, Belinda suggests that the Carters should invest. Will they decide to stump up any cash?

Meanwhile, Martin tells Kush that he's worried Belinda won't be able to pay her share of the rent, since things are so bad with her business at the moment.

Belinda is far more optimistic about the future when she visits the Carters with all of the paperwork for their investment. Is her luck about to change, or is she facing fresh disappointment?

How can Mick and Linda afford to invest in salon?

[Dazzle]

It's nice to see Ronnie enjoying being a mother after so much tragedy. That was a glaring omission from DTC's tenure.

I've missed quite a bit of EE recently. Can anyone kindly tell me why Steven has been stealing from Beale's?

Thanks! After his many protestations that he'd turned over a new leaf, what's his reason for stealing from Ian rather than asking for a loan? Presumably Lauren's also going along with it?

[kaz21]

At the moment.
