A MYSTERY newcomer targets Bianca Jackson in upcoming EastEnders scenes – as two big returns shake-up Albert Square.

An offer has piqued Bianca’s interest – but will she accept it?

In scenes yet to air, Bianca and Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) head to Beales Eels for lunch where Bianca meets Charlotte.

The pair quickly bond and later head to Harry’s Barn for a drink, but Charlotte has a secret agenda.

At Harry’s Barn, Charlotte’s true intentions are soon revealed when Bianca discovers she is a journalist.

Although Bianca declines an offer of an interview regarding Reiss, her interest is piqued.

She confides in her sister about the interview request, but Sonia is adamant it’s a bad idea.

Meanwhile, attention soon turns to Bex, who returns to Walford ahead of Martin’s funeral.

Bex asks her mum to accompany her at the undertakers to say goodbye to Martin, but an overcome Sonia can’t bring herself to go.

Elsewhere, Martin’s niece Vicki (Alice Haig) also arrives to join her relatives.

Accompanying her is boyfriend Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and Ross’ son Joel (Max Murray).

Vicki explains she has returned for Martin’s funeral before revealing she and Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker) have separated.

Later, Ross urges Vicki to ask Sharon for money, but she rethinks after a chat with Kathy about Sharon’s recent heartaches.
