Janine Butcher exposed in explosive EastEnders Christmas episode
NOBODY ever escapes the truth in Albert Square and Janine Butcher makes no exception.
The EastEnders villain's lies are FINALLY coming to light in a jaw-dropping Christmas episode.
She may be one of the longest-standing and most experienced villain in Walford but Janine has never been able to escape the consequences of her actions.
For months, the blonde bombshell portrayed by departing actress Charlie Brooks has plotted against Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) to keep her partner Mick by her side.
Unfortunately for her, there won't be enough scheming for her to throw Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) off her scent.
Coming up on Christmas morning, Shirley is determined to expose Janine for who she really is but still has to fully put two and two together.

The Walford tough woman heads to The Vic alongside Linda to make peace with Mick (Danny Dyer).
But Janine is thrown into a panic when Jada Lennox (Kelsey Calladine-Smith) makes her return and she's determined to keep her away from Linda.
She's got a trick up her sleeve and stuns Linda and Shirley by inviting them to Christmas lunch - but there's an even bigger shock ahead for her.
While around the table for lunch, Shirley continues to try and expose Janine until a vicious row ensues.
