Fans call for Jean to be axed.

Harvey and Kathy are growing closer in EastEnders, with fans eager for them to have an affair.

This week’s spoilers reveal that Harvey betrays his partner Jean by cheating with his friend Kathy.

Surprisingly, fans are thrilled by the twist and are now urging Harvey to leave Jean for good.

EastEnders: Harvey and Kathy grow closer

Martin Fowler’s death has created major tensions in Walford, and Harvey finds himself at the heart of the drama.

In an attempt to do something thoughtful—following Kathy’s advice—Harvey turned Martin’s football shirt into a blanket for little Charli. However, his good intentions backfired, as the Slaters had planned for Martin to wear the shirt at his funeral. This left a grieving Jean increasingly irritated with Harvey, making it seem like nothing he does is ever right in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Kathy is also struggling to come to terms with Martin’s passing, leading to an emotional moment between her and Harvey.

And their connection is set to deepen, as spoilers for the rest of the week confirm that Harvey will betray Jean by sharing a kiss with Kathy!
