EastEnders will air a big shock for the Slaters next week as Jean's sad cancer story continues.
Jean's family will be thrown into fresh turmoil this week, after Jean goes missing while awaiting a diagnosis.
Jean (Gillian Wright) is aware that she could have ovarian cancer but will decide to take control of the situation and leave when her secret is exposed.
With Jean still missing, the Slaters and her friend Shirley Carter will all grow increasingly concerned about her whereabouts – urging the police to try harder to find her.
After Stacey resorts to desperate measures to track her mum down, Shirley is thrilled when Jean gets in contact and confirms she's fine.
Despite everyone's relief, Stacey continues to struggle with Jean's absence – prompting Kat and Martin to hatch a plan to get Jean's results early.

Although their plan backfires, Martin later reveals that he managed to secretly write down Jean’s notes regardless.
However, when Martin recruits Sonia's help to make sense of the results, nobody is prepared for what she tells them. What does this mean for Jean?
EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, March 7 on BBC One.
