Two EastEnders characters ended up in a passionate position in the latest episode, and it all started as a form of distraction!
Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) was forced to allow Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) to continue his dodgy business in Kojo Asare's (Dayo Koleosho) flat - but Kojo's brother George Knight (Colin Salmon) was still hanging around.
While George was due to move in with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), he had yet to leave the flat.
So Harry left his mum Nicola (Laura Doddington) a message and said he might think about extending her an olive branch if she did him a favour.

Harry told George that Nicola was looking for a bar manager at Harry's Barn, so George headed off for an interview, leaving Harry alone to let Okie in.
In her office, Nicola explained that she was actually looking for a bouncer, and George wasn't keen.

But with Harry asking her to keep George busy until he gave the signal, Nicola pointed out that she wanted a man with a level head for the job, rather than a thug.
It wasn't long before Nicola got George chatting and, as he loosened up, sparks began to fly.
Meanwhile, an on-edge Harry watched as Okie placed the last of his drugs supply in a bag, before he ordered Harry to wipe the stolen phones - which included Kat Moon's (Jessie Wallace).
By the time Harry relayed that the coast was clear, Nicola was kissing George, and she ignored the text as they took their passion to the next level!
Is this just a one-off, or could Nicola and George become a couple?
And how long can Harry cope with Okie and Ravi Gulati's (Aaron Thiara) criminal dealings?
