Yahoo News EastEnders danger for Michelle as stalker Tom returns
EastEnders' new mystery man Tom Bailey makes a reappearance tonight (August 24) as he visits Albert Square to see Michelle Fowler.
Tom (Daniel Casey) has been appearing in the show on and off since June, when he had a supposedly random meeting with Michelle on the Tube.
The pair ended up having a couple of dates, but it all seemed to fizzle out when Tom left Michelle disappointed by starting to ignore her calls and texts. Charming.
Unbeknownst to Michelle, this was probably good news for her since we know that Tom appears to be a creepy stalker – but just when we were all breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly pops up again.
In tonight's EastEnders episode, Michelle is surprised when Tom seeks her out on the Square and makes a big apology for ignoring her.
Tom has his reasons for why he cooled things off for a while, but he now appears ready to commit to a proper relationship and begs Michelle to give him another chance.
We'll see Tom again in tomorrow's episode too, as he and Michelle end up sharing a very public kiss during Ladies' Night at the Queen Vic. But surely Michelle is making a terrible mistake by trusting him again?
Fans have been suspicious of Tom ever since they saw him lurking creepily outside Michelle's home, hinting that he'd become obsessed with her. Some viewers even questioned whether their first meeting had been as random as he made out.
We also saw hints of a darker side to Tom when he ranted aggressively at a total stranger. Is EastEnders lining him up as the show's next big villain?
EastEnders airs tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
