SHOCKING TWIST!!! Joy all round as Jordan returns in EastEnders – but devastating news follow
There’s finally some joy for the Fox-Trueman family in EastEnders next week as young Jordan Fox (Jahsaiah Williams) returns home following his car accident.
But in classic soap fashion, their elation is short-lived when they receive some devastating news regarding Denise Fox (Diane Parish).
Following Denise’s blood cancer diagnosis earlier this month, the hair salon owner put off beginning urgent treatment so she could be there for her daughter Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) as she kept a bedside vigil for son Jordan.
But when her family finally learned of her leukaemia, they managed to convince her to seek the medical attention she so desperately needed.
Meanwhile, as Jordan was laid up in hospital after being hit by Ian Beale’s (Adam Woodyatt) car during Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Ross Marshall’s (Alex Walkinshaw) wedding celebrations, matters have been further complicated by Libby Fox (Belinda Owusu) reaching out to Shelia (Sheila Ruskin) – the grandmother of Jordan’s murderous father, Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith).
Having been through a hell of an emotional few weeks, the Fox-Truemans prepare for Jordan’s return as Chelsea considers whether to let Sheila into the youngster’s life.
There is jubilation as Jordan later returns home, but the celebratory moment is cut short when Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) arrives from the hospital and reveals that none of the family is a stem cell match for Denise.
Chelsea is particularly distraught by the news she can’t be a donor for her sick mum, and seeks solace at the caff. However, she is stunned to find Sheila sat there already.
Surprisingly, Sheila manages to offer comfort to Chelsea in her moment of distress, which leads to her making a snap judgement that it is time for Sheila to meet Jordan.
Having made the decision in such a highly emotional state, will it be one Chelsea lives to regret?
With Gray’s unexpected return to EastEnders imminent, it certainly seems that way…
