What is wrong with Lexi? Everything you need to know as the Mitchells face fresh heartache
Something isn't right with Lexi...
Today’s EastEnders saw Lexi struggling with going to school, leaving Callum at his wits’ end with how to parent her. The pair fell out, and Callum was left heartbroken when Lexi pointed out that he isn’t actually her dad.
But what is wrong with Lexi, and why won’t she go to school?
What is wrong with Lexi in EastEnders?
Understandably, Lexi is struggling at the moment. She has been through more than most youngsters her age have. Not only has she lost her mum, Lola, to a brain tumour, but her dad is in prison, Jay has moved away, and Callum has just divorced Ben and got together with Johnny.
But now Nigel, who Lexi had formed a close bond with, is losing his battle with dementia, and it is taking its toll.
Callum has been struggling to get Lexi to go to school, and today’s episode saw them fall out as she refused to go in for her classes for another day.
Despite promising Callum that if she could see Nigel at the care home yesterday, she would go to school today, she refused to go, and Callum was at a loss.
Honey staged an intervention
Honey and Billy could see that Callum was struggling, and Honey decided a Mitchell intervention was needed. She gathered Julie and Sam and suggested they all go over to Callum’s for dinner, where they could all support Lexi together.
Julie offered to talk to her about the importance of school, and although Callum said she had enough on her plate with Nigel being so unwell, she was adamant that she wanted to help.
Callum seemed grateful for everyone’s support. But there was just one thing missing from the evening’s arrangements, and that was Phil.
Honey suggested that Billy could speak to him, but Sam said that she would have a word.
Knowing that Phil is the only one who can get through to Lexi, Sam makes it her mission to get him over to Callum’s for dinner. But will her plan work?
The drama continues for Lexi in EastEnders tomorrow
Tomorrow sees the Mitchells gather at Callum and Lexi’s house, where they all have dinner together and gently ask why she has been so reluctant to go to school.
Understandably, the problem stems from the fact that poor Nigel doesn’t have long left, and Lexi’s trauma over losing her mum is coming back to haunt her.
But is there another reason she doesn’t want to go to school? And will Phil manage to get her to open up and talk about what is bothering her?
