EastEnders has revealed a major feud for Vicki Fowler and Bernie Taylor as they clash over stolen money.

This week, Vicki and her partner Ross are dealt a huge blow when Zack Hudson informs them that they are being evicted. Sharon Watts, who has been housing the couple and Ross’ son Joel, becomes irritated when they fail to repay the money she lent them.

In a bid to appease her sister and keep a roof over their heads, Vicki goes to Bernie for an advance. However, things go from bad to worse when Bernie fires her.

An angry Vicki steals Bernie’s laptop, and her suspicions are quickly confirmed as she discovers that Bernie has been stealing money from the Panesar business accounts.

Noticing an opportunity to clear her debt, Vicki promises to keep quiet about the theft – but only if Bernie splits half of the stolen profits with her.

Bernie is backed into a corner, and when she shares her predicament with Felix, he urges her to tread carefully with the Panesars.

Meanwhile, Vicki is feeling positive about her new scheme. She and Kathy convince Zack to speak to Sharon about letting her family stay at Number 43. However, Kathy later discovers how Vicki scraped the cash together and is horrified with her niece.

Elsewhere, Priya and Ravi raise questions about Bernie’s ability to run the Panesar accounts. Suki defends her but isn’t pleased when Kathy reveals Bernie’s theft.

When the Panesars confront Bernie, she quickly places the blame on Vicki, leaving Ravi and Priya fuming. They vow to teach Vicki a lesson before Suki insists on taking the reins.

Bernie continues to point the finger at Vicki, leading Ravi to set up a trap at Walford East. However, after studying the business accounts, Priya and Ravi enlist Vinny’s help to figure out exactly what happened.

Will Bernie be exposed or has Vicki landed herself in hot water?
