Jean Slater blacks out after a terrifying incident at the Slaters' in the New Year's Day episode of EastEnders (6:30 pm. see our TV Guide for full listings).

Jean Slater has shut herself away in her bedroom as the Slaters' New Year's Eve party starts to ramp up.

As the revellers fill the house, Jean is worried that the one person she wants to see more than anyone will stand her up.

After sharing a kiss with Harvey Monroe, Jean is concerned that he'll get cold feet and back off, considering their tricky relationship history.

When Nish Panesar and wife Suki Panesar arrive with a bottle of whisky for Eve Unwin, she's rattled. She remains cool, however and encourages them both to stay for the celebrations.

Harvey has turned up but Stacey Slater is alarmed to spot him showing Martin Fowler a suspiciously ring-shaped box! When Jean finds out she panics that Harvey is going to propose.

After the disaster that was their previous engagement when a bipolar Jean was going through a manic phase, she assures Stacey that she's no interest in getting married just yet.
