EastEnders' Karen and Mitch make a worrying discovery

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders couple Mitch and Karen Baker had finally decided to give their romance another shot amidst the Gray Atkins drama.

In previous episodes, Mitch (Roger Griffiths) and Karen (Lorraine Stanley) uncovered the truth about their son-in-law Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith) abusing and killing their daughter, Chantelle (Jessica Plummer).

Learning the truth about Chantelle drove a wedge between the couple, as both Mitch and Karen were left grappling with guilt for failing to protect their daughter.

In upcoming scenes, Mitch and Karen are still awkward around each other after he lashed out at Karen, accusing her of not realising what Gray was truly capable of.

Before Karen finally saw through Gray's nature, she'd fallen for his tricks and lies and had offered to protect him from the police, even hiding him in her flat.

Hurt by Mitch's comments, Karen kicked him out of the house.

After reconciling, the pair will make a worrying discovery when they receive a phone call about their grandchildren, Mack (Isaac Lemons) and Mia (Mahalia Malcolm).

It turns out that Kush's son Arthur told Mack and Mia about their father being responsible for Kush's (Davood Ghadami) death, leaving the grandparents with the hard task of comforting the two children.

Elsewhere, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) will take matters in her own hands next week, as her son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) keeps getting bullied at school.

Viewers will also see Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) taking advantage of Mick Carter again in a vulnerable moment as he deals with learning Gray murdered his sister Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White).

These scenes air on Wednesday, March 23 on BBC One.
