EastEnders fans believe they have predicted the fate of Honey Mitchell following Monday night's dramatic cliffhanger. After a confrontation with Bea Pollard, Honey was found unconscious on the ground, sparking intense speculation about her survival.
Honey's Vigil and Bea's Return
Last week, Bea staged her own death in an attempt to frame Billy Mitchell for murder. In the episode broadcast on 6 July, Honey realized the police would not take her word that Bea was unstable, prompting her to take action. She arranged a daytime vigil for Bea, broadcast live, feigning heartbreak over Bea's 'death' and declaring the absent woman the 'best friend' she ever had.
Later, Bea reappeared and expressed gratitude for Honey's kind words. When Honey tried to persuade her to turn herself in to clear Billy's name, a scuffle ensued. Bea shoved Honey, causing her to hit her head and fall unconscious, according to the Mirror.
Fan Theories: Death or Recovery?
One viewer predicted that Honey was not dead and would soon regain consciousness. They commented: 'Classic knocked unconscious soap moment, with Honey being fully unconscious for at least a few minutes but almost guaranteed to wake up without any kind of brain injury.'
But another suggested death was on the horizon. They replied: 'It would be way more interesting if she died and Bea then used Honey's death to frame Billy even further - not totally realistic but I would watch the hell out of that storyline.' Later, they added, 'Actually Honey doesn't even need to die for that to happen, so maybe she will try to frame Billy?'
Police Blunders and Gravy Blood
Fans remained worried as the police failed to spot that the 'blood' Bea daubed across the wall was actually gravy. 'Surely they would have tested the blood and seen the beef joint,' a viewer commented. Another questioned why police were testing the 'blood' against Honey, Will, and Janet to confirm it was Bea's, instead of running it through forensics independently to discover it was beef.
Earlier, fans expected police to quickly work out what occurred and pursue Bea. One viewer said they were 'pretty certain' police would recognize it was gravy on the fridge on Monday, as the officers responding on Thursday were 'response officers' and not conducting a full crime scene examination yet. However, some speculated whether Bea cutting her hand during a scuffle with Billy, causing her blood to mix with the gravy, might lead police to suspect foul play.
EastEnders airs on Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
