Over on EastEnders, there's a surprise discovery in store for the Carter family when they find out that Stan's ashes have been stolen.

The mysterious theft comes to light when Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White) decides that it's time to scatter the ashes in Billingsgate as a final mark of respect to Stan.

When the suggestion is made and Shirley vows to give it a miss, Tina asks Mick (Danny Dyer) to help change her mind - hoping they can both put their tensions aside for Stan's sake.

Unfortunately, it seems that Tina's plans could cause more harm than good for family relations as Shirley (Linda Henry) later turns up at the Queen Vic and tries to take Stan's ashes for herself.

Amid the commotion that follows, the urn falls to the ground but everyone is stunned to find that the contents aren't actually ashes.

Once the penny drops over who is responsible, Mick, Tina and Shirley all decide to visit Aunt Babe to confront her. With Babe now living in Ramsgate, the Carters set off for a showdown...

Tina, Mick and Shirley arrive at the caravan park where Aunt Babe is staying in Ramsgate. Babe is nowhere to be found, but this doesn't stop them from breaking into the caravan and searching for Stan's ashes. Tina finds a suspicious photo album, but just as Shirley is taking a look, they are interrupted by the arrival of Babe. When Babe denies taking Stan's ashes, Shirley has a private heart-to-heart with her. However, events take a twist when Shirley finds what she's looking for and suddenly grabs the ashes.

Backed into a corner, Babe begs her family for another chance and asks if she can come back with them. When they say no, Babe reveals that she wants to come clean about what happened to Mick as a baby. At a nearby café, Babe opens up about what happened, but a suspicious Shirley leaves when she mentions Queenie Trott. After putting two and two together, Shirley confronts Babe about her secret.

Last night was the most heartbreaking episode I have seen in any show. I literally cried and couldn't stop. I thought EE wrote the ep excellently, and the actors did a spectacular job with the scenes. I can't imagine any parent ever having to go through this.

I very much agree. I think a stillbirth must be one of the worst experiences a person can go through.
