EastEnders\u2019 Sean Slater\u2019s hotly-anticipated return to Walford<\/a> doesn\u2019t disappoint next week \u2013 as he joins forces with sworn enemy Jack Branning to find missing Amy Mitchell!<\/p>\n

After Sean unexpectedly turns up in Albert Square, the former rivals put their differences aside as they recognise that Amy is in serious danger from vile Craig<\/a> \u2013 and finding her is their priority.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amy begins to realise her Mr Perfect is no such thing and, as the situation escalates, it\u2019s down to Sean and Jack to save the day\u2026<\/p>\n

“Sean has never stopped thinking of Amy as his child,” explains Rob Kazinsky, who plays the returning Walford icon. “He will protect and love her as only a father ever could. He swore to her mum Roxy that he would do so, and nothing stops him from keeping promises to Roxy…”<\/p>\n

After a frustrating night of searching, Amy\u2019s loved ones have no idea where she is. The peace brokered between Jack and Sean is shaky, and a row breaks out when they discover that Max gave Amy early access to her inheritance<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“The speed with which two men who have a fight can become friends is almost ridiculous, and Sean and Jack have one thing that binds them together \u2013 they both love Amy,” explains Rob.<\/p>\n

“I actually think that this relationship is the most storied for Sean; with him and Jack going from enemies to grudging acceptance. But does that mean they become friends, or will Jack resent her first father coming back into her life?”<\/p>\n

Sean is so consumed by Amy\u2019s plight that he totally fails to say hello to his own family. Lily is furious when she realises her uncle is in town but hasn\u2019t come to The Vic.<\/p>\n

However, later it\u2019s Lily who provides a key piece of evidence when she discovers that Amy opened a secret bank account using Charli\u2019s tablet.<\/p>\n

The next day, Sean suggests tugging at Amy\u2019s heartstrings by having poorly Denise to record a plea video. What will he do if his plan doesn\u2019t work and Craig hurts Amy?<\/p>\n

“Sean held her in his arms as his daughter, and finding out she wasn\u2019t his was the hardest thing that ever happened to him,” shares Rob. “We quickly see how important family is to Sean and the lengths he will go to protect it.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amy\u2019s situation becomes more precarious<\/a>, and when Craig realises the bank account has been frozen, he lashes out in violence.<\/p>\n

The horror unfolding at the bedsit they are hiding in is a world away from her cosy family home. Back on the Square, Sean hits on the idea of getting Denise to record a plea for Amy to come home. Will his plan work?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
