Jean Slater has pushed her love life to the side after her failed engagement to Harvey Monroe
She’s been focusing on her mental well-being
But she finds out Harvey is ready to move on next week in EastEnders
With their failed engagement and marriage still on her mind, Jean Slater has tried to keep her chin up and focus on her well-being.
As BBC One viewers may remember, the character played by Gillian Wright was ready to tie the knot with the cabbie (portrayed by Ross Boatman) during a manic episode.
Things took a turn when she wandered off to Southend alone and almost drowned before being saved by her daughter Stacey.
Since then, Jean has kept her distance from Harvey, going as far as to avoid him altogether upon returning to Albert Square.
