\t\t\"Bea
\n\t\tHoney to the Bea\u2026(Picture: BBC)<\/p>\n

Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona)<\/a> may be a certifiable bunny-boiler, but at least she\u2019s not a quitter. <\/p>\n

Even though her cruel intentions have been exposed, it won\u2019t stop her from getting her \u2018friend\u2019 Honey Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0(Emma Barton<\/a>)\u00a0back in her clutches.<\/p>\n

In case you thought Walford had been too quiet recently, Bea has been bringing crazy back to the Square ever since she arrived. If only Honey had never attended\u00a0Linda Carter<\/a>\u2019s (Kellie Bright<\/a>) school reunion. If only she\u2019d not pretended to be Bea to get herself on the guest list, she might never have crossed paths with the genuine creepy article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But cross paths they did, and when Linda found out that Bea was being evicted by her landlord, she felt awful for her \u2013 especially since she\u2019d been a total cow to Bea in school. Out of pity and guilt, Linda brought her back to Albert Square and secured her a space at the illustrious Peacock Palace Bed and Breakfast.<\/p>\n

Landing a job at the Minute Mart, Bea bonded with Honey after she saved her from a shoplifter. To seal the deal, she faked a break in right in front ofmanager\u00a0Vinny Panesar<\/a>\u00a0(Shiv Jalota<\/a>) just to get some trial shifts. <\/p>\n

Bea became besties with Honey, quickly worming her way into her life and becoming literally inseparable. However, it was all a bit too Single White Female<\/a> forHoney\u2019s husband,\u00a0Billy Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0(Perry Fenwick<\/a>), who didn\u2019t love the fact that this strange woman was getting her feet under the table.<\/p>\n

With good reason. It soon became clear that Bea had obsessive tendences<\/a> worthy of Fatal Attractions. When Honey injured herself at work, Bea nicked a bottle of wine from the shop and concocted a madcap plan to sue Suki (Balvinder Soap) for a massive payday<\/a>. She got Honey well and truly plastered and got her to coaxed spill the tea on Suki,<\/a> later watching as her drunken bestie sent Suki an ill-advised email demanding compensation for workplace negligence and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it all went down hill from there.<\/p>\n

Bunny-boiling Bea applied for a credit card in Honey\u2019s name<\/a>. Amid all of this drama, Bea has also developed\u00a0an unexpected romance<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Ian Beale<\/a>\u00a0(Adam Woodyatt<\/a>), helping him to campaign against\u00a0Elaine Peacock<\/a>\u00a0(Harriet Thorpe<\/a>) in the\u00a0local council elections<\/a>.\u00a0 She used her ill-gotten gains to wine and dine Ian<\/a>, and practically exploded when he decided to call time on their relationship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the game was seemingly up when Billy discovered that Bea had been wracking up eye-watering credit card debts in his wife\u2019s name, and he long suspected was up to no good, had taken out a\u00a0credit card<\/a>\u00a0in Honey\u2019s name, wracking up thousands of pounds worth of debt. While Honey couldn\u2019t bring herself to press charges in case Bea went to prison, Billy put his wife\u2019s safeTy first and decided to turf Bea out on her ear.<\/p>\n

Honey contemplated going to the police and reporting her for fraud but knowing Bea could go to jail, she reconsidered. Billy, however, was less forgiving and\u00a0ordered the lodger out of their home<\/a>. This prompted and unstable Bea to tamper with Billy\u2019s ladder<\/a> in revenge.<\/p>\n

In a cruel twist of fate, it was Honey who scaledthe ladder, resulting a devastating fall with some very serious injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Ian and Beale immediately suspected foul play <\/a>, barmy Bea had an alibi lined up and claimed to have been working at McKlunkeys when Honey had her \u2018accident\u2019.<\/p>\n

When Honey forced Billy to apologise to Bea, the delusional obsessive tried to move back in after learning that Honey will be needing surgery.<\/p>\n

This did not go down well with Billy, who point blank refused to let the little psycho back in no matter what.<\/p>\n

Where did this leave Bea? Kipping at the McKunkeys against the bins, that\u2019s where. <\/p>\n

But you can\u2019t keep a good crazy down. And next week\u2019s trip to Albert Square will see Honey\u2019s deeply disturbed BFF try to get her back onside.<\/p>\n

While still recovering from her injuries, Honey feels well enough to celebrate with Billy, relieved to hear that Bea has moved out to stay with Mo. <\/p>\n

But when Bea overhears Billy telling Alfie (Shane Richie) what happened with Honey after their date, she seizes her moment to take Honey for a drink.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Bea\u2019s evil plan, I hear you cry?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, Bea\u2019s still got one card left to play. She previously downloadedan AI app, which she used to record Billy\u2019s voice \u2013 before creating a fake message from Walford\u2019s mouthiest marketeer. <\/p>\n

Will Bea use the recording to turn Honey against Billy?<\/p>\n
