Following the revelation of Harvey Monroe’s (Ross Boatman) affair with Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) in EastEnders, things have been tough for the cab driver.

His betrayal of Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) led Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) to fire him as one of her drivers, leaving him in search of a new job.

In upcoming scenes, Harvey spies an opportunity for a new business venture when his friend Cheeky puts a limo up for sale.

Unfortunately, his bubble is quickly burst when Kathy explains that she doesn’t have the money to pay for it.

However, when Kat rails at the seemingly happy couple and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) is forced to step in to diffuse the situation, Harvey is struck with an idea.

Still determined to bring his limo business idea to fruition, Harvey attempts to recruit some of Kat’s drivers to invest.

He doesn’t get far before Kat overhears , and once again his plan is scuppered.

Later, a despondent Harvey gets some advice from Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) and makes one last ditch attempt to put his plan into action.

Willing to put their disagreements in the past, Harvey turns to Kat and asks her to be his business partner.

Unfortunately, Kat doesn’t share his desire to repair their relationship and turns him down – but that isn’t all.

In order to get back at Harvey for his treatment of Jean, she decides to look into setting up her own limo business.

Who will come out on top in this battle of wills?
