Gray Atkins makes sure he has Chelsea Atkins under his thumb in Tuesday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm. see our TV Guide for full listings).

Gray Atkins is slowly getting under Chelsea Atkins skin, as she struggles to cope with living a lie with him while worrying about their fragile baby, Jordan. Finding it difficult to get through the day, she's prescribed antidepressants by the doctor.

Gray pretends to agree with Denise that it's best she take the meds but inside he's fuming. He later gets inside Chelsea's head and talks her into ditching the meds so she can breastfeed.

When Whitney Dean sees Chelsea throwing away her medication, she is concerned and she later confronts Chelsea to find out what she's up to. When it's clear that Gray is tightening his control on his wife, Whitney is alarmed...
