EastEnders: Julie Heartbroken As Nigel Doesn’t Recognise Her
Julie steps into Walford and walks straight into pain she never expected. She has not seen Nigel since the day he left over a year ago. But the Nigel she sees now is nothing like the man she once knew. It all starts when Lexi finds a photo from Nigel’s wedding day. That moment stirs something strong. Nigel opens up to Jay. He tells him he would rather Julie not know he is unwell. He says it is not about hiding anything, just about sparing her the pain.
Jay disagrees. He quietly searches for Julie. Phil warns him to back off, but Jay doesn’t stop. He finds out Julie has already been trying to reach Nigel. He contacts her. A day later, she walks into Walford.
