HARVEY Monroe has become infatuated with a mystery woman he is chatting to online.
But when his friends get involved, next week in EastEnders, her real identity comes to light.
The Walford cabbie played by Ross Boatman has displayed troubling behaviour, consumed by his budding romance with a woman named Sophia.
Harvey was even ghosted by his love interest, leading his nearest and dearest to believe he's being catfished.
Convinced Sophia isn't who she says she is, Rocky Cotton (portrayed by Brian Conley) decides to do some digging on her in upcoming scenes of the BBC One soap.
But he quickly gets desperate, not knowing where to even begin, prompting Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) to step in and do some research of his own.

Thankfully for him, Rocky, Mitch, Freddie and Bobby get to him just in time to tell him everything.
Harvey became single following Jean Slater's mental health crisis.
The pair were engaged and ready to tie the knot after the cleaner played by Gillian Wright popped the question amid a manic episode triggered by her bipolar disorder.
Jean was taken to hospital after almost drowning, which left her relationship with Harvey on the rocks.
Since then, Harvey has been trying to move on, more particularly after Jean's return to Albert Square.
