Is it all over for Bex and Shakil in EastEnders?

Bex has had enough of Shakil's behaviour. Is it the final straw when she sees him kissing Louise?

Shakil’s been blowing hot and cold over his romance with Bex, putting pressure on her to sleep with him one minute, then being distant with her the next. It’s all proving too much for Bex, made all the worse when Martin has a go at Shakil and publicly humiliates her. So when Shakil has to kiss Louise in the Christmas play, Bex can’t take the strain anymore. Is this the end for love’s young dream?
