EastEnders viewers are speculating about newcomer Bea's true intentions towards Honey Mitchell, with theories ranging from a sinister obsession to a secret family connection. The character has baffled residents with her behaviour and recently made a concerted effort to befriend Honey, leading to awkward scenes with Nicola Mitchell.
Fans have drawn comparisons to the 1990s thriller film Single White Female, in which a roommate develops a dangerous obsession. One viewer said: "The concept of Bea pulling a Single White Female on Honey." Another added: "Bea is giving Single White Female vibes."
Other viewers are convinced there is something more sinister at play. "There's something so sinister about Bea and I can't put my finger on it," one fan commented. A further post read: "I'll bet all my money on her being the next psycho."
A separate theory suggests Bea and Honey could be related. One fan speculated: "I need Bea to secretly be related to Honey and I don't even know why." Another noted: "Wouldn't it be something if Bea and Honey did turn out to be sisters, especially with the names in this order? Honey Bea!"
One viewer was torn between the two theories, saying: "I can't help but think there's something weird going on... maybe she gets obsessed with her, or maybe they end up being related." EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
