EASTENDERS fans are very worried Jean Slater will spiral to a bad place after her daughter Stacey Slater banned her from seeing her kids.
Jean’s (Gillian Wright) behaviour continues to be at the root of a lot of worries for Stacey (Lacey Turner) as she wakes up in the middle of the night to find her cooking furiously in the kitchen.
The cleaner shocked everyone when she blocked the Walford market by hiring a bouncy castle for all the kids and the owner of Stacey’s Baps was mortified as she spots her mother on the castle.
“You don’t need to do this,” a concerned Stacey told her.
Jean replied: “I should’ve known you’d be a party pooper.”
The nan then jumped on to join the kids, with people on the street poking fun at her as she flashed her knickers.

Things got worse when a manic Jean accidentally hurt Arthur (Hunter Bell).
She didn’t even notice as the boy ran off crying.
Jean continued to embarrass herself and was joined by Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) who was scolded by Stacey for not understanding Jean’s condition.
After some thought, Stacey decided to come to a tough decision and broke the news to her devastated mum.
She told her the kids did not “enjoy their surprise” as Jean’s face went from happy to sad.
“Do you know who was laughing? Everyone while you flashed your knickers to the world,” Stacey angrily told her mum.
“You pushed Arthur, you hurt him… the fact you don’t even know you left my son crying proves it ain’t safe for you to be around the kids.
“I don’t want you to be alone with the kids until you’re feeling better, calmer.”
Jean replied through tears: “Are you saying I can’t see my own grandchildren… how could you do that to me? Why would you be so cruel?”
Stacey insisted that until her mum got help and saw a doctor she could not be alone with the kids.
Fans watching at home worried that Stacey’s decision would send Jean spiralling even further and lead to something bad happening.
One fan tweeted: “Coming from a real person with bipolar I can resonate to Jean as a character & during those manic episodes you just lose every bit of rationality & you don’t even realise it’s happening to yourself. glad they’re revisiting it bc there’s still so much stigma around it.”
