EastEnders scenes. The unexpected revelation came out in Tuesday's (December 15) episode, as the Highways finally came clean to each other about where they both were on the night Ian Beale was attacked. Rainie (Tanya Franks) admitted that she'd relapsed after months of sobriety, while Stuart confided in his wife that he'd had a violent run-in around the time of the Vic break-in. BBC "I swear, it's not what I intended to happen," Stuart confessed. Eventually, Stuart revealed that he wasn't talking about Ian — he'd actually had a run-in with Callum's blackmailing boss DI Thompson (Philip Wright) on the night of the Vic attack.
