EastEnders prostitution scam goes wrong as Rainie is 'murdered' in front of baby Abi

A dodgy sex scam cooked up by Rainie Branning and Stuart Halfway will go very wrong as the alcoholic is brutally beaten up on EastEnders.

Is she dead?

Stuart, played by Ricky Champ, and Rainie (Tanya Franks) dream up a scheme to get some extra cash.

The pair join forces and attempt to trick men into paying Rainie for sex.

Stuart then is supposed to barge in and scare the men off, leaving the pair with the men's cash.
