EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders’ Honey Mitchell accidentally reveals a damaging secret next week, as newcomer Bea Pollard desperately tries to turn her against Suki Panesar-Unwin. Linda’s blast from the past Bea has already ruffled a few feathers since she arrived in Walford earlier this month.
Bea is keen to stick around in Albert Square, and she was given a lifeline when she helped tidy up after two teenage girls trashed the Minute Mart. Vinny agreed to give her a trial period at the shop – but in a dark twist, it was revealed that Bea had paid the girls to cause the incident in the first place.
Next week, Bea excitedly prepares for her first day of work at the Minute Mart, and her new friend Honey helps her settle into the job. But when manager Vinny shows up, Bea is unimpressed by the disrespectful way he speaks to Honey.
As the day continues, Suki’s brusque manner with diplomatic Honey further angers Bea, so when Honey hurts her back during their shift, Bea suggests that she should sue the Panesar family for her workplace injury…

“Bea has a sweet deal working at the Minute Mart, but it looks as though she could mess up the opportunity already,” says our Square spy. “We know that the Panesars are a powerful family, and Bea really needs this job – so she shouldn’t be creating a bad buzz on her first day.”
Later, Bea convinces Honey to crack open a bottle of wine at the shop, and the pair put the world to rights and drunkenly fantasise about the idea of suing Suki.
After a few more drinks, Honey tipsily lets slip a long-held secret – Suki tried to kiss her back in 2021, back when she was coming to terms with her sexuality.

“Fans will remember that Suki planted a smooch on Honey over four years ago, before she even met Eve,” recalls our insider. “The secret seems harmless enough now that Suki is married, but there’s no telling how unstable Bea could twist the truth for her own motives…”
With Bea now privy to this knowledge, will she use Honey’s secret against Suki?
