Gray Atkins has made a huge mistake as EastEnders revisits Chantelle's murder.

Friday's episode (September 17) saw the serial killer delving into his troubled past when Whitney accompanied him to visit his father in hospice.

Whitney quickly left the room, and this would turn out to be good for Gray because his reunion with his father wouldn't be a happy one.

His father reminded him of how the lawyer struggled to control his violent urges as a child and he'd even attacked his mum, then sent chills up Gray's spine by mentioning Chantelle's death.

"You still have your anger issues, don't you?" his father asked, before revealing: "I saw it online yesterday, that your wife, that Chantelle Atkins, died a year ago in a domestic accident.

"I am scared for you. I am scared of what you will do, Gray. How did Chantelle die?"

Gray showed his terror by vaguely threatening to murder his own father unless he dropped his questions, leaving his dad horrified at what his son had become.

"I hope you find peace, and it hope it comes quickly," Gray warned.

In the aftermath of the tense reunion, Gray managed to share a clinch with Whitney when they were reunited. However, the killer's troubles were far from over.

Once Whitney was gone, Gray made a very risky decision because he was quickly running out cash – he decided to use Tina Carter's bank card!

Will Gray's foolish decision be the beginning of the end for him, at last?
