EastEnders fans have been asking the same question in recent weeks: where is Jean Slater?
The much-loved character has been noticeably absent from Albert Square for some time, leaving viewers concerned about her whereabouts, especially given the amount of drama that has unfolded within the Slater family in recent months.
With Jean nowhere to be seen, many fans have started wondering whether she has quietly left the soap for good.

When was Jean last mentioned in EastEnders?
Jean’s whereabouts were addressed during a scene with Big Mo and Eve on Monday, June 15. Jean’s name came up as they unloaded a van full of knock-off goods that Mo was trying to get into her spare room.
Eve mentioned Mo would have to shift the lot before Jean got home from visiting the Wendys. Otherwise, she would be in trouble. Fans were thrilled that Jean was finally mentioned, relieved that her absence was addressed at last.
The Wendys are Jean’s two friends, both unsurprisingly called Wendy, whom she has stayed with at various times during her time on the soap.
Jean often escapes Albert Square to stay with them either when she is struggling with her mental health, or when something big has happened in her life that she needs to avoid.
