EastEnders resident Chantelle Atkins (played by Jessica Plummer) stood up to her abusive husband Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith) last night. But according to official soap spoilers, she is going to play with fire next week when she reignites their relationship. But is this all part of a bigger plan? And is she putting herself and her family at even more risk?  

Mick Carter’s (Danny Dyer) wife swap contest is going to take place next week, but it won’t be the fair competition he wanted it to be.

Chantelle’s abusive husband Gray cannot stand the thought of letting Chantelle out of her sight for even a moment, and after her determined stand against him last night, he wants to assert his manipulative control again as soon as possible.

Scenes which aired last night saw Chantelle stand up to him and demand they try again for a baby following the traumnatic miscarriage she suffered last month.

“Until you sort yourself out, there is no way we’re having another baby,” Chantelle warned. 

Although he has been attending therapy, and has promised to change, it’s evident he has no interest in the sessions and has continued with his domineering and manipulative ways. 

It’s become clear to the hair stylist Gray has no desire to change and that she is living with a monster.

To add to this, in a recent therapy session he didn’t even admit to the abuse he’s inflicted on his wife for months.

This has lit a fire in Chantelle, who wants to retain control of her life and not be cowed by her abuser.

And next week, it seems she is going to start playing her own games in order to take control of the dire situation. 

Despite being unaware about Gray rigging the wife swap competition, Chantelle will passionately kiss her husband leaving him utterly confused. 

It has been a while since Chantelle has displayed affection towards her husband, and for obvious reasons too.

But is this behaviour the beginning of a bigger plan to take down Gray?

Viewers were left fearing for Chantelle’s life last night, worried she is going to be killed at the hand of her husband.

Taking to Twitter to discuss, one said: “Gray is gonna kill Chantelle #Eastenders.”

“Hear it here first – Christmas storyline – Phil finds out it’s Keanu’s baby and Grey Kills Chantelle #EastEnders,” another added.
