Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) is set to leave a trail of destruction in her wake as she attempts to make a dramatic exit from Albert Square in EastEnders.
Having started blackmailing Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) almost immediately after arriving back in Walford, it becomes clear that she has driven him to extremes when Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) implores him to come clean to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
Keanu is convinced that he will never see Peggy again if he does, but Sharon visits Phil anyway, ultimately blurting out the truth.
As Lisa discovers that Peggy is with Phil, she heads over, only to be confronted by Phil, Sharon, Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Keanu, who have had a cosy chat with Louise.
As Lisa’s lies unravel, she is left completely broken.

Fortunately for her, Sharon takes pity on Lisa, who is clearly suffering with a gambling addiction, and makes it her mission to convince Phil to help the mother of his grandchild, much to Keanu’s disbelief.
‘At first, she distrusts [Sharon’s help], but then she realises that there is nobody else to turn to. And I think she feels like if she’s going to get better, she realises that she has got to start speaking about what is going on with her,’ actress Lucy Benjamin revealed.
‘And why not let it be Sharon? They have so much history together. It is a surprise at first, but then she can’t help herself but to offload.’
In a bid to make amends, Lisa offers Keanu some video calls with his daughter, as a first step towards proper access, though Keanu isn’t happy with this arrangement.
As Keanu seeks legal advice over gaining access to Peggy, Lisa suspects that he may be deliberately trying to keep them in the UK.
‘Lisa doesn’t think in her heart of hearts that he’s got a chance of getting custody of Peggy,’ Lucy revealed. ‘He’s not been around, he’s not ever offered any money prior to now, and I think she feels quite confident that he won’t get that. And I think she would do everything in her power for him not to get custody of Peggy.
‘She would be horrified to have to go back and say to Louise that that might be on the cards, but I think she feels quite confident that he hasn’t got a leg to stand on. Because where’s he been? He’s not been around. He’s been useless!’
As Keanu ropes Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) in to help him, he sets about getting an order in place to stop Lisa taking Peggy out of the country.
With Lisa gathering everything she needs to make a flight back to Portugal that evening, will she get out and take Peggy with her?
