It looks like Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) could be heading for pastures new on EastEnders, as she makes plans to leave Walford for a new life in Australia.

The move comes amid relationship problems for Janine and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), after it’s revealed that they haven’t yet been physically intimate with each other. In fact, it’s become so much of a problem for Mick that he does everything he can to avoid being alone with Janine.

So as Scarlett (Tabitha Byron)’s custody hearing approaches, Janine makes a decision. She tells Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) and Scarlett that if she gets custody they’ll be moving to Australia to start afresh.

She tells Mick that she doesn’t need or want his support at the hearing, but later they reconcile after Janine brings him a slice of cake to celebrate Tina’s birthday. He’s touched by her thoughtfulness and the head off to the court together for the hearing.

Meanwhile Kat (Jessie Wallace) has been having problems with Tommy (Sonny Kendall), after Martin (James Bye) accidentally lets slip about the incident with the knife in front of Tommy’s football coach and he’s dropped from the team. As Kat prepares to go to the hearing, Tommy has vanished. Eve (Heather Peace) offers to attend the hearing on Kat’s behalf and reads out a touching statement from her.

Will the decision go in favour of Kat or Janine? Who’ll get custody of Scarlett?

And will Janine soon be packing her bags and leaving Walford again?
