Newcomer Bea in EastEnders has sparked many suspicions that she’s up to something sinister.
Upcoming scenes on the BBC soap will do nothing to dispel that, as she tells more lies and takes action against characters. Just recently we saw her influence Honey Mitchell into drinking at the shop they worked in, as well sending a complaint email about their boss Suki Panesar.
Referencing Honey’s accident at work and a past incident where Suki tried to kiss Honey a while ago, the email wasn’t actually meant to be sent. Honey accidentally hit send though, and in upcoming scenes she’s suspended, before losing her job.
Her husband Billy Mitchell encourages her to beg for her job back, but Bea continues to suggest they stand firm. Suki doesn’t back down though and fires them both.

Our soap expert shared how the scenes could leave Honey in a spot of bother, as she may have realised Bea is not the best person to take advice from. They said: “Honey’s starting to realise she’s made a bad move. While she has to take responsibility, it’s clear she’s been swayed by troublemaker Bea who has zero regrets.
“When Suki takes aim at both of them, Bea is once again plotting. She spins a lie to Suki’s son Vinny in a bid to get what she wants. But will it be enough to get Honey and Bea their jobs back? That depends how convincing she is.”
Later in the week, Bea features in more drama but this time, it’s with Linda Carter. Assuming Linda plans to kick her out Peacock Palace, she takes deliberate offence – only for Honey to offer Bea the chance to housesit for her while she’s away with her family.

On the scenes, our soap expert warned: “Honey doesn’t seem keen to get Bea out of her life just yet, even offering her the chance to housesit. But will Honey’s kindness leave her in more trouble, and could this latest twist back the theory regarding Bea wanting Honey’s life?
“Or have we all got Bea very wrong?” Elsewhere, her annoyance at Linda leads to her coming between her and Max Branning next week, dropping an almighty bombshell. Our soap source teased: “Bea knows exactly what she’s doing.
“She’s had it in for Linda ever since they reunited, with it clear she’s holding onto the past. Dropping Max in it knowing Linda is happy is a deliberate move to cause problems for them.
“It’s clear she enjoys meddling in people’s lives, and perhaps Max, Linda and Honey is just the start.” Fans are still convinced Bea is planning something sinister, and that Honey could be at risk.

One fan said: “Bea knows exactly what she’s doing – manipulating Honey like this. Bea seems obsessed with her Honey needs to be careful.” Another agreed: “Bea has replaced Reiss as the resident Walford psychopath!
“How long before she takes Linda and Honey hostage and chains them up in a lock-up?” A third fan said: “I worry that Bea may know more about Suki then she initially lets on. She’s definitely got a dark streak and I think Honey is finally starting to suss that out.”
Responding to the theories, our soap expert teased: “It’s not surprising that fans think there’s something very off with Bea. Her behaviour is troubling, and she’s clearly wanting drama, at whatever cost. Something doesn’t sit right with us, but perhaps that’s just what the writers want us to believe. We think it’s one to keep an eye on.”
