EastEnders' Harvey and Dana Monroe will make plans to leave Walford behind next week following Aaron's arrest.

Harvey (Ross Boatman) has been desperate to get his son away from the extremist hate group that he has been involved with, and was recently upset to learn that Aaron (Charlie Wernham) had agreed to lead a section of the group in Manchester and that he wanted to take his unsuspecting sister Dana (Barbara Smith) with him.

When Aaron admitted that if Dana hadn't been in The Albert on New Year's Eve he would have triggered a bomb that the hate group had planted there, disturbed Harvey reported Aaron to the police and watched him get arrested.

Following Aaron's arrest, Harvey explains to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) that he and Dana are planning to leave Albert Square soon as he lies that his mum is ill and needs to be taken care of.

Harvey later reminds Dana that their landlord is a police officer and that, if he finds out about what Aaron has been involved with, they are likely to become homeless. Dana, however, doesn't want to leave Walford behind.

Later on, Dana has an awkward moment with her ex-boyfriend Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell), who she split from last week over Aaron's lies.

She soon calls Peter Beale (Dayle Hudson) to tell him that she is too sick to come to work, but what she doesn't realise is that she has accidentally not ended the call.

While Dana talks to Mila (Ruhtxjiaïh Bèllènéa) and Kioni Marwa (Florisa Kamara), Peter overhears her entire conversation through the phone.
