Troubled Bex Fowler is going to go missing in EastEnders – and Stuart Highway might be responsible.
Bex has been struggling with the pressure on her to do well in her exams and gain a place at Oxford University, and it has pushed her to begin taking medication meant for people who has ADHD in an effort to concentrate.
But while she has been putting her health at risk with the pills, she has also developed side effects making her paranoid and anxious.
While her parents Sonia and Martin have missed their daughter’s breakdown, Stuart hasn’t and he has been trying to support Bex as best he can.
The former villain has showed his caring side towards the schoolgirl and tried to encourage her to open up to her parents about how she really feels about going to Oxford University.

But next week when Bex suffers a humiliating encounter with Kush Kazemi, Bex disappears from Walford, leaving her parents terrified.
They are tormented by Bex’s disappearance and don’t know what to think – until Rainie Cross’s picture of Bex and Stuart hugging enters the fray.
With his past actions known to Sonia and Martin, they view the picture with horror and there’s nothing Stuart can say to convince them of his claimed innocence.
He tries to insist he is just a friend to Bex, but with everything they know about him, Sonia and Martin jump to conclusions and blame him for Bex’s vanishing act.
Things take a nasty turn as accusations fly about publicly but none of it solves the issue of where Bex has gone.
Viewers will have to wait to see what has happened to Bex, but filming pictures saw her appearing to live on the streets.
