EastEnders agony as desperate Hayley Slater goes to jump from a balcony

Hayley Slater’s journey has been a difficult one: she is having her cousin’s husband’s baby, despite him believing she has got rid of it, and she is feeling the pressure.

After days of fear and agony lead her to become vulnerable and desperate, she makes a shocking decision and climbs up to a balcony, with plans to jump off and end her suffering.

But Jean and Kat nearby and desperate to help her – will she do the unthinkable and end her life, along with her baby’s?

First, Hayley struggled with the pressure of becoming a mum as people bombard her with questions about the baby’s dad.

Jean is on hand to reassure her, which helps, until she gives her a list of things to buy the baby, which leaves her feeling overwhelemed.

Luckily, Mariam finds her and comes to the rescue, after which Hayley goes to visit Mariam and baby Harley.

She starts feeling more confident, but when Mariam and Arshad tell her they fostered a child with foetal alcohol syndrome, she snaps at Mariam and leaves.

At home, she is wracked with guilt about drinking through her pregnancy, but again, Jean is on hand to try and help.

But, when Hayley lets slip about her drinking in Spain, Jean becomes suspicious about who the father may be and starts asking her, but Hayley can’t cope and walks out.

She sits in the park drinking, unaware that Jean is trying to work out who the father of the baby is, with her suspicions leading her to one person’s identity.

Later, Jean demands answers from a hungover Hayley, and after a massive argument Hayley tearfully leaves to get some space.

She spots Keanu and persuades him to go to the park, but when he notices she’s drinking, he is shocked and digusted with her.

But he quickly realises she is very vulnerable, and later the Slaters are concerned when they can’t find Hayley anywhere.

Keanu mentions to them Hayley said she was "gping home," and Jean realises hwere she must have gone and gets Kat to go with her to find Hayley.

Kat and Jean pull up at an abandoned block of flats, and are horrified and shocked to see Hayley sitting on the edge of a tower block balcony, in a very dangerous situation.

On the balcony, Kat tries to get Hayley to come down from the edge, but the desperate Hayley tells her is Kat knew the truth, she would think different.

Jean pleased her to get down and they have an emotional heart to heart, as she reassures the vulnerable girl and brings her back to safety.

Later, Hayley sleeps, and Mo and Kat want answers so start quizzing Jean.

Hayley thanks Jean for everything and goes back upstairs to sleep, but she overhears some very harsh words from Kat.

Has she figured out the truth?
