EastEnders Jean Slater rides a rollercoaster in a wedding dress after quitting Walford as she spirals out of control
JEAN Slater is spiralling out of control in EastEnders – and will soon quit Walford and go on the run.
The cleaner – who is played by actress Gillian Wright in the BBC soap – is suffering from a manic bipolar episode.
Viewers have seen her become impulsive and make reckless decisions like stealing from her own family to fund a dirty weekend away with her boyfriend.
But now filming pictures have revealed that Jean is set to flee Walford in the coming months.
She will be seen wearing a wedding dress and riding a rollercoaster after running away to Southend.
Her daughter Stacey and former son in law Martin Fowler will be in hot pursuit no doubt hoping to bring her home.
Next week in EastEnders, Jean gets into a fight with her daughter, declaring her dead.
Mostly due to her bipolar disorder, Jean (played by actress Gillian Wright) has been known for her complicated relationship with both of her children, Sean and Stacey.
Coming up on the BBC One soap, Stacey (portrayed by Lacey Turner) is concerned when Jean reveals she is planning a surprise for the children.
Following Gray’s downfall, and as the truth about Kush’s death came to light, Jean then puts pressure on Stacey to come clean to Arthur.
Arthur is Kush and Stacey’s son but was adopted by the latter’s former husband, Martin.
Later on, Jean blocks the market by purchasing a bouncy castle for all the kids, which leaves Martin just as worried.
Things only get worse when Stacey spots Jean on the bouncy castle.
Jean accidentally hurts Arthur and embarrasses herself – until Harvey Monroe joins her on the bouncy castle.
