WARNING: This article is full of spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming on BBC iPlayer now, but has not yet aired on BBC One, and sees Sandra and Josh arrive in Walford.

Today’s EastEnders sees a double arrival as both Sandra and Josh Goodwin arrive in Albert Square… but as always, the newcomers have got secrets.

Kim and Denise grill Sandra

Denise and Kim are miffed when they see a stranger asking the Walford locals about Jasmine. Assuming she is a journalist, the pair decide to set the record straight and take her to the salon to ‘talk’. However, once inside, Kim grabs Sandra by the collar and demands to know what she is doing.

Sandra is stunned and manages to explain that she is actually Josh’s mum, and that Anthony Trueman is his birth father. The news shocks Kim and Denise, and they quickly apologise by offering Sandra a cup of tea.

It doesn’t take long before the three women are getting along like a house on fire. Denise and Kim explain that they are ‘almost’ family to Josh and ask what he is like. Sandra is a proud mum and shows off photos of her son.
