New Love for EastEnders' Taylor Family

EastEnders are teasing two potential love interests for the Taylor women next week as mother and daughter step out of their comfort zones to meet new people.

Next week, Bailey admits to Bernie that she actually won the science competition but kept the win a secret, so her family wouldn't have to worry about sending her to science camp.

As she talks to her sister, Bailey spots a woman handing out flyers for a missing dog and encourages Bernie to go and speak to her.

Bernie approaches the woman, who introduces herself as Molly, but just when the conversation heads in the right direction, Bernie realises the dog on the poster is Banjo.

Later, Bernie is thrilled when Molly invites her out for a drink. Could this be the start of a new romance for Bernadette?

Meanwhile, Bailey decides to tell her father the truth and admits to Mitch that she won the competition. Heartbroken by her secrecy, Mitch assures Bailey he'll find the money to send her to camp.

Soon afterwards, Bailey sees the poster for a missing dog and realises Banjo's real name is Ziggy. She insists that Ziggy is returned to his owner.

Elsewhere, Karen puts off a chat with her boss to head off to Walford East where the family prepare to celebrate Chantelle's birthday.

At the Vic, Gray is downing a glass of Whisky when he receives a text from Karen asking where he is. The solicitor makes an excuse that he's too busy at work to attend.

Later, Keegan and Tiffany are shocked when Gray arrives drunk at the club. 

After the celebration, Karen and Bernie share memories about Chantelle, but the conversation turn to Karen's love life where Bernie encourages her to ask her boss Apostolos, out on a date.

EastEnders air these scenes next week on BBC One.
