Mel Owen finds herself an enemy amongst her Walford neighbours this week on EastEnders, as she struggles to cope with son Hunter Owen’s arrest.
Hunter was sent to prison after killing stepfather Ray Kelly in a dramatic showdown on New Year’s Day, after he tried to kill his mum.
The pair, stunned by how things went down, ended up burying Ray’s body and acting as though nothing had happened.
Ray was eventually discovered though, and Hunter was arrested for the murder.
