EastEnders: Mick and Janine share a passionate kiss

Janine Butcher is set to leave EastEnders after her romance with Mick Carter fell apart.

Next week on the BBC, Janine wakes up without Mick and quickly determines that he is avoiding her.

Wanting to discuss the situation with others, she admitted to Billy that she and Mick weren’t intimate and talked about her concerns about the situation.

But things turn awkward when she tries to confront Mick about their lack of intimacy, however he avoids the subject.

Mitch overhears their conversation and Mick admits to him that he can’t be intimate with Janine.

On Tuesday, Mick continued to avoid Janine as he fled but he ran into Mitch, who was embarrassed about their conversation yesterday.

Meanwhile, it’s Billy’s birthday and Janine gives him a present, but her mood turns sour after he reveals that Mick once had feelings for Whitney.

Later, Mitch apologizes to Mick for behaving awkwardly with him and asks him more about his concerns, as Mick admits his mind is preventing him from getting intimate.

After Mitch tries to give Mick some advice, Janine tries – without success – to seduce Mick.

Janine then tells Billy that she will leave Walford if the judge gives her full custody of Scarlett.

On Wednesday, Janine reiterated her plans with Sonia and told her she was planning to move to Australia with her daughter.

She went on to tell Mick that she did not want his support at the hearing the next day.

However, Frankie notices a bad atmosphere between the two of them and suggests that Mick be more romantic towards Janine and invite her to dinner.

However, it all went horribly wrong when Janine discovered that her clothes had shrunk in the wash – but it gave her an idea…

However, her plan backfires and their date at Walford East is a disaster.

Thankfully, they laugh about it, but the mood changes when Mick enters the school…

Will Janine leave Walford for good?
