Spoiler:

Carol having missed Billy while he has been away, puts all her effort into to throwing her son a big party for his 22nd birthday, but Bianca is concerned Carol is getting too involved and tells her she needs to back off a bit, so Carol decides to meet up with Lewis, the soldier she met when Billy signed up for the Army, unfortunately Carol finds out that the love rat is married, and so feeling low, decides she will concentrate on her son's big birthday bash after all. Billy however knows nothing of the party his Mum is planning and has gone on a bender in the south end, but feeling sorry for her Mum, Bianca go's and drags Billy back to the square, the party go's well with all the square residents their to help Billy celebrate his birthday, Kim kisses Ricky (ooh-err) and Billy and Lauren get a bit worse for wear after too much to drink.
However the next morning, when Biancafinds him lying on the sofa, she thinks he is just asleep, it is only when she tries to wake him, she realises to her horror that her little brother is in fact dead, the aftermath of Billys death will be a tragic time for the Jackson Clan, Bianca will never get the picture of her dead brother out of her head, Whitney struggles with the loss of the love of her life and Carol cant cope with the death of her youngest son, everybody rally's round to help Carol as she becomes more depressed and struggles to cope with day to day life, her Brother Max will be a big support as he has not long lost his own son Bradley, Billy's Dad Alan Jackson, will return for the funeral and his Grandmother Blossom, who are both played by the original actors.
I think it is good that Eastenders are doing this story line, as it shows youngsters the dangers of binge drinking, it is sad that Billy is being killed of though as he has not long returned to the square. but Good on Eastenders for bringing yet another story line that reflects the social issues we have today.

It takes two to tango...

But three's a crowd Kim! Is this a scuffle in the Square - or are Max and Bianca trying out a Walford waltz? Clearly Kim would prefer the 'Fox'trot...


Boxing clever

Blasts from the past

Julie Perkins has something to show Billy. By the look on his face, he's not about to get it enlarged and framed for his wall. Bad memories?
