Where is Bailey in Eastenders?
EastEnders fans were left confused by Bailey’s absence as the Baker family continue to grieve for Chantelle Atkins.
When the family arrived home from their holiday to the shocking news of Chantelle’s death, they broke down over the awful discovery.
As the family reeled, Mitch decided he needed to speak with youngest daughter Bailey - who was staying with another family member - to tell her the news in person.
It's likely Bailey’s absence is thanks to new safety rules and regulations following the soap’s return to our screens back in September.
The soap had been off our screens since June thanks to the pandemic.
And when the cast returned to filming, the number of people allowed on set at any one time drastically reduced to allow the soap to adhere to social distancing measures.
