EastEnders fans fear Jean Slater has dementia after she called Whitney ‘Stacey’.
Since her run in with Suki in March, who faked having cancer, Jean has stopped taking her bipolar medication.
In recent episodes, viewers have seen Jean’s behaviour become erratic, especially after discovering family friend Whitney had been kidnapped by Michaela.
In last night’s episode (Monday, May 5), Gray managed to find Whitney at Michaela’s flat and bring her home.

When they got back to Albert Square, Tiffany, Kush and Jean were all waiting for Whitney.
As Jean walked up to Whitney and began brushing her hair behind her ears she said: “You have had us worried sick, Stacey.”
She walked away from Whitney and Whitney shot Kush a worried look.
Viewers have now expressed fears that Jean may have dementia.
