But who will he turn to for help?

22-28 FEBRUARY
As tension mounts between Nigel and Grant at No.55, other members of the Mitchell family arrive and have plenty of questions for and irritated Grant, who is finding it hard to keep his temper in the face of intense scrutiny and criticism over his actions.
After taking some much-needed advice, Grant makes a decision that he hopes will be a step in the right direction.
The following day, as Nigel and Grant have breakfast with some of the family in the café, it's not long before tensions rise again between Grant and the rest of the clan and after some home truths, Grant leaves.
Later, Grant gets some words of wisdom in the café from an unlikely source. And having spied their confrontation, Yolande comforts Nigel, encouraging him to tell Grant about his dementia diagnosis. However, Nigel is adamant he doesn’t want to.
Overhearing, Grant asks Nigel for the truth and is shocked to learn that Nigel has early onset dementia and leaves No.55 after the pair row.

As he tries to get his head around this latest bombshell, an emotional Grant is desperate to find some solace and pays a visit to the only person he believes can help him.
After making a big assumption, Grant finds himself disappointed and decides it's time to get out of Walford. But before he leaves, Grant supports an unlikely source as the pair put their historic differences aside.
Later at No.55, Grant asks Nigel to move to Portugal with him, promising to support him as he copes with his dementia diagnosis. What will Nigel do?
