EastEnders Gray's abusive past tipped to be exposed as returning character reveals truth

EastEnders' Gray Atkins risks being exposed for his abusive past as a character makes a big return next week.

Evil Gray has been controlling his new wife Chelsea Fox on the BBC One soap, terrifying viewers at home as they spot awful similarities between the way he treats Chelsea and how he treated his late wife Chantelle Atkins.

Chantelle horrifically died in tragic scenes, when she was stabbed by an upright knife in a dishwasher, as her husband Gray watched on. The chilling scenes left fans of the BBC One soap horrified after Chantelle faced months of abuse from Gray.

In scenes airing next week, Gray and Chelsea are at the hospital, where he starts quizzing her about Whitney coming by the house. The questions continue throughout, whilst Chelsea insists her only priority is Jordan.

Denise gets in contact to check how they're all doing, but Chelsea tells her she can't see Jordan. Elsewhere, Kheerat tries to speak to Gray but he rejects the idea, and so he turns to Eve to try and get some help.

In a bid to get on Gray's good side, Kheerat offers to take some papers to the hospital from Eve, and Gray is relieved when he turns up and asks him to say, which gets on Chelsea's nerves.

Whilst in the hospital, Chelsea runs into a nurse, who recognises Gray from when he used to come into the hospital with Chantelle. On finding out Chantelle has died, she is horrified and offers support to Chelsea if she wants it.

However, Chelsea isn't keen and she ignores her kind offer of help.

In horrifying scenes last week, Gray revealed to Chelsea he had been tracking her movements in and out of the house by installing a video doorbell as he confronted her on why she lied.

"Unlike you, the camera doesn't lie," he told her, "So… it's time to tell me where you've been all day. Please, don't make me ask twice."
