Danny is pleased to discover that Roxy keeps a large stash of money in the safe above the Vic.

Who owns the bookie's Andy and Dennis owned or is it closed? I thought Pat worked there.

I'm not sure who owns the bookies now.

I wonder how Janine gets to manage R&R whilst Jack is in hospital.

It's Sharon's isn't it, Dennis was going to sell it Pat when him and Sharon went off to USA, but desided to keep it. And when Dennis died it became Sharon's.

Does Pat still work there or does Pat work at all?

She used to work in the cab office, not sure the bookie still exists at all

I was thinking the same. Pat managed it for Ruby I thought.

EastEnders' Zainab Masood is left red-faced in a fortnight's time when she ends up falling into a pile of paint pots after an argument with Christian.

Furious that Amira's hired Christian to redecorate her and Syed's new flat, Zainab calls on the book club to come together Changing Rooms-style and renovate the newlyweds' flat.

Shirley, Heather and Denise reluctantly agree to help out but they're livid when they hear that Christian's being paid and they're not. The women walk out on Zainab, leaving her and Christian together to paint everything themselves.

The atmosphere's tense between Christian and Zainab and tempers soon fray when the matriarchal Masood snaps and accuses Christian of trying to steal her son. Christian's furious by Zainab's insinuation and retorts with a sly remark, which further enrages her.

Venting her frustration, Zainab throws an entire tin of paint over Christian and continues her verbal assault in the hope that he'll stay away from Syed. A cool, calm and collected Christian refuses to rise to the situation or retaliate but the scuffle between the pair results in Zainab falling into the paint pots - just as Syed and Masood walk in...




These scenes air on Friday, April 9 at 8pm on BBC One.

DEVOTED mum Zainab Masood is furious when she discovers Christian Clarke is decorating her son Syed’s new flat.

So she decides to rope in the book club to get it done quicker. But when Christian tells Heather Trott, Shirley Carter and Denise Johnson he’s being paid they all quit as they agreed to help for free.

And the gay hunk knows exactly what to do to wind Zainab up over it all – by painting with his top off.

Christian, who had a sizzling affair with Syed in the months leading up to his wedding to Amira, wants Zainab to leave so he can get on with his painting.

Infuriated by his bluntness she accuses him of trying to steal her son and the two end up having a huge row over the paint roller.

An EastEnders insider said: “Zainab can’t believe it when she discovers Christian is painting Syed and Amira’s new fl at. Since she found out about his affair with her son she’s done everything she can to keep them apart.

“It all comes to a head when the pair are left alone in the flat.

“She tells Christian she wants him out of Syed’s life for good and the pair argue as she completely loses the plot.

“She hits him and as he tries to stop her from coming at him she ends up falling into the paint pots just as Syed and her husband Masood turn up.”

Our source on the show added: “Masood has no idea about Syed and Christian so she has some rather awkward questions to answer when he demands to know what’s been going on.”

Fans can catch all the drama as Zainab and Christian battle it out a week on Friday.

Billie makes a surprise announcement

Airs on Monday, April 5 2010 at 20:00 BST on BBC One

Billie's troubles continue as he's torn between his mother Carol and girlfriend Whitney when they bump into each other in the Square. Carol's concerned about what Billie has planned for the future and questions Max to see if he knows anything. However, their discussion is interrupted by the news that Jack's condition has worsened. The Branning-Jacksons rush to the hospital to be with Jack, and Whitney once again finds herself pushed aside in favour of his mother. When they turn up to his room, they're stunned that he's not in his bed - and they all fear that he's dead. Carol soon learns that he's been taken for a life-saving operation. Billie and Chelsea have cross words when she claims that he shouldn't be at the hospital as he's responsible for the situation. As Billie annoyingly taps his chair and a plastic cup, Max storms out, before Bianca arrives and tells Billie that he doesn't want him anywhere near the kids.

Later, Max happily announces that Jack will be fine, even though he's clearly not convinced by his own words. Dot tries to lead the family in prayer but the gathering becomes too much for Billie and he rushes out. Max chases after him and Billie finally breaks down in tears. Whitney calls Billie and pledges her love for him on his voicemail, while the young Jackson makes a big decision about his future. Carol's stunned to the core when Billie makes a shock announcement of his own - he's decided to join the army.

Meanwhile, Ryan's lost for words when Janine reveals that she intends to secure a job. Billy's also surprised by Janine's new outlook on life and when she admits that she and Ryan are now together, Stacey's rattled. Panicked that he'll find the letter she wrote revealing him to be the father of her baby, Stacey rushes to retrieve it. Ryan's confused by her sudden arrival at the flat but she makes up an excuse about the stall. The conversation turns to Ryan and Janine's relationship and Ryan, misunderstanding her motive, presumes that Stacey's interested in him. Finally finding the letter, Stacey makes her excuses and makes a quick exit.

Elsewhere, Danny asks Janine what she's plotting; Shirley rallies Ben and Zsa Zsa around as they prepare for Louise's return; Minty tells Billy that he should move out of the flat; Danny's not happy that he's being ignored for family gatherings, but decides to tag along anyway; Billy learns that Heather's struggling to pay the rent; Ben's upset by Louise's return when Phil focuses all of his attention on her; Billy moves in with Heather and baby George; Janine tells Ryan that she plans on running R&R for Jack while he's in hospital; and Ben puts Louise's chocolate Easter bunny, complete with foil wrapping, in the microwave.


Carol tries to deter Billie from joining the army

Airs on Tuesday, April 6 2010 at 19:30 BST on BBC One


Carol's still upset about Billie's decision to join the army, adamant that it's too dangerous. Max and Bianca appear to support Billie's intended career path but Carol stubbornly begins clutching at straws. Calling Billie to the house, she shows him an old photo album of family members who have died over the years serving in the army. Despite the trip down memory lane, Billie stands firm. Later, Peggy hears of Billie's decision to sign up to the forces and decides to throw a small party at The Vic for him. Max calls Billie over for a pint and when he enters, everyone cheers as he takes in the sight of Peggy's 'The Vic Supports Our Boys' banner. Carol, however, storms in behind him and tears the banner down, before coming to blows with Peggy about Phil and Grant.

Billie refuses to leave the pub and at breaking point, finally admits to his mother why he wants to enrol in the army - he wants to get away from her.

Meanwhile, Tamwar plays around with his new camera and Zainab's taken by the idea of a new family portrait. Masood soon arrives home with the post and Zainab's intrigued to see a handwritten letter addressed to Amira. Zainab's curiosity is evident as Amira opens the envelope, excited by its contents. Deciding to play a joke on Zainab, Amira writes a note and places it in the envelope for her to find.

Later, Tamwar watches on as his mother rummages around in the living room in search of the letter, which she sees wedged between the pages of a book. Rushing into the kitchen, Zainab unfolds the piece of paper and is reeling by its contents: 'Anyone reading this should really learn to mind their own business'. Livid that she's been duped, Zainab replaces the book and the letter and tries to continue as normal.

In the Square gardens, Tamwar attempts to position the rest of the family for their portrait and just as he hits the timer switch, Amira reveals that her father sent her a cheque for £5,000. She goes on to claim that she and Syed are moving in together. Zainab looks on, horrified.

Elsewhere, Zsa Zsa receives a mystery parcel containing a chocolate Easter egg; Leon's baffled by Zsa Zsa's talk of a present; Leon discovers the reason behind Zsa Zsa's edginess and tries to make it up to her with flowers but Zsa Zsa shuts the door in his face.

Danny continues with his plan

Airs on Thursday, April 8 2010 at 19:30 BST on BBC One

Ronnie and Roxy still aren't talking and when Ronnie heads out jogging in the Square, they make eye contact but it's clear that neither is prepared to back down. Fed up with the situation with her sister, Roxy breaks down in Danny's arms and confesses that she wants everything to go back to normal. With his own agenda at the forefront of his mind, Danny seizes the opportunity to turn the situation to his advantage. Despite Ronnie's suspicions, she agrees to meet her brother in the café and talk over a coffee. Ronnie eventually backs down and asks Danny to pass a message on to Roxy - she's there for her whenever she wants to sort things out. Instead of helping, though, Danny drives the wedge further between his sisters by manipulatively explaining to Roxy that there's no chance of reconciliation.

Wanting to take some pressure of a stressed and tired Roxy, Danny offers to look after the books and insists that he registers her for online banking. With the security question and passwords confirmed, Roxy leaves everything in Danny's capable hands. However, as soon as Roxy's out of earshot, he makes a call and firmly states: "We're on…"

Meanwhile, Syed and Amira look around Mrs Patel's flat above the Sari shop. Syed's not impressed by the state of the premises in the slightest but Amira remains upbeat, especially with Christian on her side. Christian, however, is only too pleased to have Syed living so close by. Later, Syed breaks the news to his mother Zainab that he and Amira have put a deposit on the flat but when she and Masood visit, they're appalled by how disgusting it is. As Masood discovers mouse droppings, Amira walks in with their - and the flat's - saviour: she's hired Christian to redecorate.

Elsewhere, Ryan goes for an interview at the bookies and asks Janine to pretend to be his referee; Max receives a horse tip and decides to back it at 10/1; Janine agrees to give Ryan a fake reference; Billie and Carol call a truce and she agrees to let her son join the army if he really wants to; Ryan hires Janine to help at the bookies; and Billie's frustrated when his visit to the recruitment sergeant goes awry.


Zainab comes to blows with Christian over Syed

Airs on Friday, April 9 2010 at 20:00 BST on BBC One

Furious about Syed and Amira moving out and Christian redecorating the flat for them, Zainab takes matters into her own hands. In the hope of undermining Christian - and cutting him out of the equation altogether - Zainab enlists the help of Shirley, Heather and Denise. The trio reluctantly agree to pitch in and they set about painting. However, when Christian turns up, they're all unimpressed to hear that Christian's being paid. As everyone leaves, Zainab and Christian are left painting alone.

The atmosphere's strained and as time passes, Zainab becomes further enraged at the situation until she snaps and accuses Christian of trying to steal her son. Christian's nonplussed by her outburst, which infuriates her further. With that, Zainab launches a pot of pain over him, before starting to physically goad him with a long-handled paint roller. Christian remains calm but a scuffle ensues, causing Zainab to slip and fall into the paint pots - just as Syed and Masood walk in.

Later, Christian catches up with Zainab and vows to do everything he can to get Syed back in his life.

Meanwhile, Carol turns to Ricky for help in keeping Billie in Walford. Despite being unable to pay his wages, Ricky agrees to let him start work again. However, after a heart-to-heart with Ricky about his future prospects, Billie returns home - and it's up to Ricky to lie to Carol about having to let him go. Carol's distracted, though, when the police turn up on their doorstep wanting Billie to sign his witness statement. Carol notices something in the statement that doesn't add up and realises that he knows more about the gun than he's letting on. How will Carol react?

Elsewhere, Danny's plans become clear when he secretly meets his mother Glenda; and Pat and Peggy are stunned when Councillor Singh's health takes a turn for the worst.

Christian is so fine :o

Can't wait for the paint fight on friday ...!!!!!

Jack is due to be brought out of his coma and the Brannings head to the hospital. The doctor reveals that Jack could be paralysed on one side. Jack is beside himself when Dot breaks the news that he may not fully recover.
