EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders has revealed Janine Butcher's future in Walford, with brand new pictures showing her back behind the bar at The Vic.
Janine (Charlie Brooks) has recently returned to the Square, bringing a batch of fresh new chaos and drama with her.
Aware that she is at risk of losing her daughter Scarlett forever, Janine is on a mission to turn her life around in next week's scenes – and has her eyes firmly on The Queen Vic.
Having enjoyed a night of passion with Zack, Janine has some explaining to do when Scarlett finds him in the living room the following morning.
Kat is also fuming at Janine's reckless behaviour, and urges her to get her act together.
Acknowledging this, Janine talks with Billy and explains that she needs to overhaul her life in order to get Scarlett back.
As Janine heads to The Vic, she spots an opportunity when she sees Frankie struggling to handle the pub crowd.
After stepping in to help, Janine impresses Frankie and manages to bag herself a trial shift behind the bar as a result.
Sharon is shocked to see her there, but it's clear that Janine is in her element and loves being back behind the bar.
Later, Janine tells Scarlett about her new job – but could this be the new start she desperately needs?
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
