EastEnders spoilers follow.

Janine Butcher has her scheming sights on Jay Brown in upcoming EastEnders scenes.

It's been revealed that Janine will attempt to convince Jay to do a deal with a family motor business, but it's actually a fictional establishment.

Excited by the opportunity, Jay agrees to meet with Dr Cole (who's impersonating a car salesperson) as Janine and Billy Mitchell watch on like vultures.

Charlie Brooks, who plays Janine, previously hinted that it wouldn't be long before her character was back amongst crime after returning to Walford.

"With her put downs and her wit, the writers have done a brilliant job so far of writing for her," she told Digital Spy.

"I read the scripts and go: 'Oh my God, can she say that? Oh my God, I love it!' So it's fun and that's what I'm excited about exploring with her, as well as all of the layered stuff that goes on underneath.

"As human beings, we grow and evolve all the time and we all really want to connect with that inner child and unlocking that part of us, whether that's for better or for worse is always a really interesting thing to explore," Charlie added.

"Being honest about who we are and what we want and how we go about getting it, and I think that could be quite exciting for her."

EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
