Howie’s Criminal Past Haunts Him In EastEnders
Viewers know that earlier, Howie and Patrick Trueman had won £6,000 after they bet on a horse over the summer. It was because Kim always complained that Howie doesn’t provide her the way her ex, Vincent, did. However, Oscar Branning later stole the money by breaking into Anthony’s house. He even attacked him brutally, due to which he ended up being hospitalised.
However, Howie learnt that it was Oscar Branning behind it all. But he didn’t go straight away to the police. Instead, he blackmailed Lauren and Oscar to give him the stolen money. Initially, he failed in blackmail attempts. Elsewhere, soon he recovered the stolen funds. However, he wasn’t satisfied. He always had a fear that Oscar could reveal his secret to everybody at any moment.
Later, he turned things worse by committing more crimes. He stole an expensive gold necklace from a parcel. It happened while he was delivering it while working for a temporary job. Kim had accidentally damaged her computer and filming kit. And so to provide for her, he took on extra jobs. He wanted to give normalcy to his family and provide them with enough. But he has been doing all the wrong things to feed them.
A Life-Changing Decision Looms
In the upcoming episodes, Elaine Peacock hires Kim and her influencer brand to create a buzz around the Peacock Palace. But on her livestream, Kim accidentally offended her followers. Hence, she got a huge unfollowing. And now Howie is under huge pressure to recover the family’s influence.
Also in the upcoming episodes, we will see “a life-changing decision” for Howie. Fans want to know if Howie is going to tell his family and Patrick the truth. He has a history of doing wrong, and maybe now he could just tell him about his fear. But, in case he says, there will certainly be a lot of drama. He might as well lose all that he has been working for. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
