Stuart Issues Ultimatum to Carter Family

Will Stuart's demands secure Mick's release from prison?

BBC

The current Stuart Highway storyline is a little bit like Marmite for some viewers, but things heat up next week when landlord Mick is banged up.

Here are a few spoilers from next week's episodes.


Shirley has always insisted that her son will be out of his depth in prison, and it looks like she's right when the landlord struggles to cope with life in the slammer.

Absent for his son's birthday, Mick is adamant at getting a birthday message to Johnny, but he will need the help of Fraser, the prison top-dog.

Back at home, Linda and Shirley are desperately doing all they can to find proof that Mick is innocent, but with the evidence stacked against him, what are Mick's chances at being a free man any time soon?



In prison, Mick is thrilled to learn that Fraser can get him a phone to contact his son, but it will come at a price.

Before he knows it, Mick is being bombarded with demands, but when he refuses, Fraser makes it clear that he doesn't take no for an answer.

BBC

Although EastEnders are keeping quiet about the exact details surrounding the demands, we do know that Mick is forced into meeting a mysterious woman during visiting hours.

As the week continues, Fraser and his heavies continue to torment Mick, issuing him with a threat he just can't ignore.


Luckily for Mick, he manages to buddy up with inmate Bob Matthews, someone who knows how Fraser works, so at least he's not alone!

Meanwhile back in Albert Square, Stuart arrives at the Vic after being discharged from hospital. Zara is shocked at her father's attitude and accuses him of being consumed by hate for the family.

Stuart's arrival doesn't go down well with the Carters, but they are not prepared for the alarming ultimatum he issues them.

Both Linda and Halfway beg Zara to open her eyes and see Stuart for who he really is, but when she refuses to believe that her father is capable of shooting himself, she pays Mick a visit and urges him to tell the truth for the sake of his family.

BBC

What are Stuart's demands, and how long will Zara continue to be fooled by her father?

EastEnders air these scenes next week on BBC One.
