EastEnders' Janine Butcher is determined to make Mick Carter hers, first look pictures reveal.
The Walford villain - played by Charlie Brooks - has become more and more determined to land Mick (Danny Dyer) this Christmas time, despite his wife Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) showing up out of the blue.
And in new pictures from tonight's episode of the BBC One soap, Janine continues to put pressure on Mick as she's seen sitting with him in a bedroom as he looks deep in thought.
The unlikely pair started getting close as they joined forces to stop Peter Beale from winning the bid to fund the Square's Christmas tree, with Peter eventually losing out to Mick.
In the new snaps, Danny looks pensive as he plays with his wedding ring as Janine looks worriedly at him. She is dressed in a sparkly number ready for her New Year's Eve bash whilst the pub landlord looks dressed up in a blue shirt and waistcoat.
The encounter between the two seems rather awkward - but Mick clearly has a lot of thinking to do as he fiddles with his wedding band and looks off into the distance.
Linda has been busy working in another pub and had a surprise guest in the form of Janine Butcher.
Being as friendly as ever, Janine told her: "I need another drink, are you sure you won’t join me?" whilst Linda, who has struggled with drink in the past replied: "One wouldn’t hurt," as she began to open up to her about Mick and the kids.
But fans were left puzzled by it all and wondered how Linda didn't recognise Janine.
"You’d think that Linda would probably recognise Janine seeing as they both lived on the square at the same time for a few months," one person shared online.
Another added: "I’m even surprised Linda didn’t recognise Janine, they’ve deffo met."
A third viewer wrote: "So Linda doesn’t recognise Janine and Mr Lister doesn’t recognise Stacey… ok then."
