EastEnders has confirmed the fallout to Bex Fowler's devastating struggle, after she attempted to take her own life.
While the scenes have yet to air on the BBC soap, viewers will see Sonia Fowler's teenage daughter pushed to the edge as she continues to hide how she's really feeling.
Earlier on in the year she ran away and even took drugs as she faced increasing exam pressure, and the fear of not getting into a top university - which she since confessed she didn't even want to attend.
Things reach a devastating turn in upcoming scenes, leaving her family reeling as she makes an attempt on her own life - with EastEnders working with Samaritans on the important storyline.
Next week, Bex's dad Martin is brought back to the Square in the wake of his daughter's battle.
Sonia is left stunned at the hospital when she finds Martin, who fled Walford last month without a word, by Bex's hospital bedside.
It's not long before she lays into him, having a go after he left Walford - unaware he had to flee with wife Stacey after she attacked Phil Mitchell.
She claims he wasn't there for Bex when she needed him, but she soon has a change of heart.
When it's time for the teen to return home, Sonia begs her ex to stay with them for the sake of their daughter.
He has a heart-to-heart with his Bex after her struggles come to light, and he's devastated about Stacey being away from home - fearing he too might have to leave again.
Martin and Sonia later support their daughter through her first meeting with a mental health nurse.
Bex finally opens up about how she's feeling, but can her loved ones help her get back on track?
Meanwhile, Ben Mitchell continues to blackmail Martin over his dad's attack, piling on the pressure - but will he push him too far?
EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
