Bex Fowler’s guitar destroyed as bullies increase their attack on her in disturbing EastEnders story-line
Viewers have been unsettled to see Bex targeted by Madison, Alexandra and Louise
EASTENDERS viewers were chilled by a story-line involving Bex Fowler and a trio of bullies who upped their attack on her on Tuesday night.
High school meanies Madison and Alexandra have been targeting Bex for weeks on the BBC One soap but took things to a personal new level.
Unwitting stepmum Stacey allowed the girls – along with Louise Mitchell – into the family home and Bex’s bedroom.
Once Stacey left the girls to have a girly chat, Madison and Alexandra turned vicious – grabbing Bex’s prized guitar and smashing it in front of her eyes.
The distraught teen teared up –while Louise showed she could redeem herself as she didn’t assist in the attack and said Bex had been intimidated enough.
Tuesday night proved to be difficult viewing as Bex was the target of her tormentors throughout the episode.
They mocked her as she busked outside the tube station near Albert Square and turned up at her work.
The bullies also threatened Bex by saying they would not stop tormenting her – and they also put chewing gum in her hair.
Viewers took to Twitter to express their distress about the troubling story line which has been building for weeks.
“I'm a survivor of bullying & Bex's story hits really hard. I wanna strangle those 2 b***hes & give Bex a huge hug,” wrote one affected fan of the show on the micro blogging site.
“I hate the #bully #eastenders storyline hate that people bully others just ain't right people who see this happen need to speak up,” commented another.
“I really hate Bullying poor Rebecca,” commented another.
While one more viewer suggested the story line was proving too much to watch, tweeting: “Sorry I cannot watch #eastenders anymore! It's making me beyond angry!”
It looks like the storyline may soon come to a head, however, as it has been revealed Bex's mum Sonia is heading back to Albert Square to help her in her hour of need.
