Gray Atkins, the murderer of Chantelle EASTENDERS, managed to stay under the radar for nearly a year after her death. Now, though, he is being pursued from all sides. Will Whitney Dean and Kheerat Panesar’s accusations be verified by his former law firm colleagues?

Whitney (Shona McGarty) and Kheerat (Jaz Deol) from EastEnders recently decided to work together to take down Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith). They’ve been attempting to catch the BBC soap villain off guard, with Kheerat attempting to gain Gray’s trust by getting close to him. Gray was fired as a lawyer by his supervisor last year, who suspected him of being aggressive and had even warned Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) about him. Will Kheerat and Whitney be helped by his old colleagues, who have the legal knowledge to back up their claims? Alan Collins, a partner, and specialist in Hugh James Solicitors’ abuse team, spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about Gray’s future.

Gray murdered Chantelle (Jessica Plummer) more than a year earlier following years of domestic violence.

He staged her death as an accident and then went on to murder other individuals while attempting to hide his tracks.

However, it appears that he may finally be brought to justice since citizens of Walford and his former coworkers suspect him.

Alan commented to Express.co.uk about Gray’s honorable act: “Abusers come from many sectors of life, as we all know, but we also know that they can be cunning and manipulative. The appearance of respectability can be used to deceive individuals who are capable of acting.

“We can all fall for this and have to be alive to that risk. It can be hard to puncture that protective covering.

“Talking about it helps, and the storyline is therefore doubly powerful.”

“The professional could be reported to his/her regulatory body,” Alan said, alluding to Gray’s fellow lawyers who suspect him.

Alan continued when asked about the police in EastEnders not taking Whitney’s concerns seriously: “In the past, the police have been chastised for failing to effectively respond to reports, especially in high-profile incidents culminating in death.

“Both the police and the courts have taken a lot more muscular approach in recent years, but recent homicide instances where a kid was slain, there was a domestic violence backdrop, and subsequent investigations demonstrate on-going failures across authorities to communicate with each other, compounding danger.”

It’s probable that Gray’s old boss had reported him, but nothing was done owing to a lack of evidence.

However, since Whitney has now filed a police report, an inquiry may be launched.

Laura (Sarah Paul), Gray’s ex-colleague, was always wary of him and advised Chelsea to avoid him.

She made it plain she was on to him when she told him he had been fired last year.

“Your run-in with the police for public indecency this month was a step too far,” she told him. “So I’m afraid we have no choice but to terminate your employment.”

Growing angry, Gray argued: “I wasn’t arrested.”

Laura replied: “Even so, hardly appropriate for a criminal solicitor and definitely not a good look for the firm. Please be assured, your case was reviewed thoroughly.”

Smirking, Laura later said: “We thought it would be in your best interest to get it over with, rather than you do the walk of shame in front of your colleagues. Ex-colleagues.”

She confirmed: “I read those vile messages you sent me online. We both know it was you. So if you even think of appealing, I’ll make sure everyone knows what kind of man you really are.”

“You’ve got no proof and I could have you done for unfair dismissal,” Gray yelled.

Laura called him: “The man who thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, especially a black woman.

“With no job and no money, there’s going to be nothing for you to hide behind. Everyone will see you for the nasty little misogynist you really are.”

It’s possible that Laura’s report on Gray is investigated following Whitney’s police report.

Whitney may decide to contact folks Gray used to work with in order to gather evidence wherever she can.

Could Laura provide her with expert counsel in order to prove Gray’s poor character?

It’s possible that the lawyers are assisting Whitney because they are aware of Gray’s capabilities.

EastEnders character Avani Nandra-Hart, introduced as the secret daughter of Ravi Gulati, is about to be caught up in a major new storyline in upcoming episodes of the BBC soap.

EastEnders’ Aaliyah James made her debut as Avani Nandra-Hart in 2023 and is set to play a central role in a thrilling new storyline this week.

The newcomer, who portrays Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) secret daughter, is about to find herself in serious trouble with the law in the upcoming episodes.

Avani’s day takes a dramatic turn when she skips school with Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and Lily Slater (Lillia Turner), only to cross paths with the shady Marvin, who’s carrying drugs.

When the police arrive, they find Marvin’s dropped stash of pills and take the girls to the station for questioning.

Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) rush to the station to pick up their children, but there’s no one available to answer Avani’s phone, reports Plymouth Live.

Things take a dark turn as the police demand a strip search to see if Avani is concealing any additional drugs.

Her family becomes frantic upon seeing Avani fall apart, and instead of returning to her father Ravi’s (Aaron Thiara) place, she runs off to the playground to take a drink of vodka.

Chaos erupts when Avani’s parents realize she’s gone missing, and they’re shocked to discover her unconscious in the playground.

Off-screen, actress Aaliyah, who is actually 24, has had some fun with the age gap between herself and her character. She joked on Instagram: “Guys… I’m now 15… I mean 24 years old.”

Aaliyah, landing her first significant acting role, has joined the esteemed cast of EastEnders. Prior to this breakthrough, she had a small role as a train passenger in the 2022 BBC One crime drama Inside Man, which featured notable stars such as David Tennant, Dolly Wells, and Stanley Tucci.

Aaliyah shared her appreciation for the role, stating, “Being given this chance as my official screen debut is truly a blessing.”

She also expressed how welcomed she felt, saying, “The support from the cast and crew has made me feel at home, and I’m so grateful to already be a part of the EastEnders family.”

Excited to embrace her new role, she added, “I’m eager to bring Avani to life and explore her journey in Walford, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for me.”

Actress Laila Rouass has spoken out about her split from snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan after 13 years together, just days after the couple sparked rumors of a possible reunion.

The Mariposa Ball and Awards isn’t just a glamorous evening; it also supports a cause with significant meaning, according to OK!

The charity behind the event, Mariposa International, was founded by Andy Clark-Coates and his wife Zoe Clark-Coates MBE, providing support to families affected by baby loss. This elegant ball brings together celebrities and supporters in a show of solidarity and remembrance for those who have endured the heartbreaking loss of a child during pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy.

Emotional conversations surrounding baby loss and infertility took center stage as hosts Briony May Williams from The Great British Bake Off and Sky Sports anchor James Green guided the evening at the gala. A particularly moving moment came from Laila herself, who opened up about her personal experience with baby loss, which deeply resonated with those in attendance.

“If you can give time and money to causes you believe in, it creates a support system for those who need it,” the former EastEnders star shared with us.

Laila shared her personal tragedy – the loss of her newborn niece, her brother’s little girl, just a week after she was born – a heartbreaking event that has profoundly shaped her understanding of the importance of charity events. “It can feel very lonely. But tonight is about reminding people that they’re not alone,” she explained.

For this east London creative, who had the privilege of presenting the Employer of the Year award, supporting loved ones in times of sorrow means offering help in any way you can.

“When my niece passed away, I was at the hospital every day. Emotional and practical support is key – cooking or cleaning, so they have a clean home to come back to. A week after my niece died, I went with my brother to return all the things he had bought, like prams, cots, and sterilisers. It was so sad.”

At 53, Laila also addressed breaking the silence around baby loss and infertility. “The more we talk about it, the more normal it becomes – because it is normal. I have friends who have had babies through surrogacy, IVF, and adoption. We need to discuss all of it so that people feel supported in their journey.”

EastEnders fans were shocked to learn that Jay Brown actor Jamie Borthwick is actually related to a former co-star – and it turns out neither of them were aware of it.

EastEnders fans were astonished to find out that Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown, is actually related to another cast member – a revelation that was new to Jamie as well.

Jamie rose to fame with his role as Jay on the BBC One soap, making his debut in 2006. It wasn’t long before he became one of the show’s most beloved and iconic characters.

His character has been involved in many significant storylines, ranging from shocking affairs and struggles with substance abuse to covering up a murder and uncovering the truth about his past. Jay’s time in Walford has been full of intense drama.

More recently, Jay has been grappling with the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Lola (Danielle Harold), who tragically passed away from a brain tumour in 2023.

Off-screen, fans were shocked to learn that Jamie has a family connection with a fellow co-star. What made it even more surprising was that Jamie himself wasn’t aware of this relationship, according to Plymouth Live.

In 2021, Jamie shared that he only discovered he was related to co-star Charlie Winter after Charlie joined the EastEnders cast.

He recalled: “My great uncle is named Charlie Winter, so when I heard there was a character coming in called Charlie Winter, I thought, ‘No way!’” Jamie then did some research and confirmed his intuition was spot on. He shared: “It turns out we’re second cousins.”

Charlie joined EastEnders in 2018, portraying Mel Owen’s (Tamzin Outhwaite) son, Hunter. However, his character was written out the following year after a storyline where he shot Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) in the Queen Vic.

One shocked fan commented on an EastEnders Facebook page after learning Jamie and Charlie are related: “I would never have guessed they were related, to be honest.”

Another fan expressed their surprise, saying: “No way, I remember the other guy from EastEnders.” A third added with some admiration, “That’s pretty cool, to be fair.”
