BBC One viewers have been hoping to see the former Prince Albert manager get comeuppance for raping Ben Mitchell (played by Max Bowden) in May, 2022.
Sadly, before anybody could be on to him, the Walford troublemaker had to go through hell, from watching his marriage with Callum Highway break down to a horrific overdose on the streets.
Coming up, Ben is finally discharged from hospital after emotional recovery scenes but his father Phil (Steve McFadden) knows there’s still along road ahead of him.
As soap fans may remember, the Albert Square tough guy was told Ben was raped by Kathy Beale and he initially had the idea of getting revenge.

Kathy, however, thought the best thing to do was to wait and report Lewis to the police for Ben’s sake.
Phil tries to look for a solution to help his son heal and he meets up with DCI Samantha Keeble, asking her to throw the book at Lewis.
He sadly realises that may be harder than it seems.
Meanwhile, as her plan to overthrow the Mitchell empire has come to light, Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) decides it’s time for her to leave the Square.

But as she gets ready to go, with a wary Kat Slater keeping an eye on her, Zack Hudson (James Farrar) calls her with some good news – he’s found Lewis.
Viewers may remember the blonde bombshell was adamant on finding Lewis herself in a bid to get her brother’s trust again.
This prompted her to ask for help and the chef obliged, although he was initially reluctant to take part in her plan.
Once she learns Zack has found Lewis, Sam drives away with him to get the villain, with a gun in her bag.
