EastEnders spoilers: Tiffany Butcher leaves Walford for Milton Keynes after rape ordeal
TIFFANY Butcher is going to leave Walford in the coming weeks after the trauma of her rape ordeal becomes too much.
The teenager - who is played by actress Maisie Smith in the BBC soap - will decide she needs to return home to mum Bianca in Milton Keynes after everything she has been through.
She was groomed by drug dealer Evie Steele and tricked into joining her gang where she was forced to deliver drugs.
Tiffany was also raped by gang members after Evie tried to get her to replace her own role in the gang.
She later confronted her rapist before her uncle Jack took matters into his own hands and brutally beat the vile thug up, putting his own future at risk.
However as Tiffany plans to leave Walford, could someone put a stop to her plans and convince her to stay?
She has a burgeoning relationship with Keegan Baker in the offing, but that hit the skids when she pretended to be a fictional lesbian on an app to seduce her best friend Bernie to give her a confidence boost.
It backfired and now neither of them are speaking to her.
Tiffany's exit could pave the way for her mum Bianca's upcoming return to Walford.
Actress Patsy Palmer will return to the show for the first time in years to play the red-headed queen of Walford for a short stint in a mysterious new storyline later this summer.
