EastEnders’ Bea Pollard has done a full Gone Girl and framed Billy Mitchell for her own murder. But while the villain’s plan already has police hunting for Billy, fans have noticed a key issue that could bring the whole saga to an end.
During Thursday’s episode, Billy (Perry Fenwick) confronted Bea (Ronni Ancona) over her manipulation of his family. When she was told that her friend Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) had gone to talk to an old housemate about her, Bea flew into a psychotic rage and screamed: “It’s not fair.”
She and Billy had a tussle in which Bea cut her hand. As she railed about how “bad things should happen to bad people”, Billy decided it was best to leave and said “the Old Bill” could deal with Bea.

Not willing to let go of Honey, Bea decided to slather red gravy over the fridge, destroy the living room and call the police. Whilst on the phone to them, she pretended she was being attacked by Billy.
When Honey got home, Bea had disappeared and the police had turned up looking for Billy. Honey correctly came to the conclusion that Bea was trying to frame Billy for her own murder.
But fans don’t imagine Bea will get away with it for long, as they pointed out that the police should be able to tell that the ‘blood’ on the wall is actually gravy.
“Surely someone will realise the ‘blood’ is a red gravy,” one fan said. Another agreed: “Can just imagine the Forensic Department pulling the Inspector aside and, in a prank, licking the ‘blood'”
A third said that they were “pretty certain” that the police would realise it was gravy on the fridge on Monday, as the constables responding on Thursday were “response officers” and weren’t doing a full crime scene analysis yet.
Some suggested that the cut on Bea’s hand might complicate things as the blood will have mixed in. But most agreed that Bea would likely be caught, as Honey had cottoned on to her evil ways.

Emma Barton has teased that her character, Honey, will face some “worst-case scenario” scenes but has defended Ronni Ancona’s Bea Pollard, who drags Honey into the dark storyline.
“I think Honey feels that Bea is really misunderstood, and I think Honey can relate to that,” she said, before adding: “They say love is blind, and she cares for her friend, and she makes excuses for her behaviour.”
Talking about what it was like to work with Ronni, she said: “It’s brilliant. I couldn’t have wished to be working with anyone else on this story. When the cameras stop rolling, we have such a giggle, but it’s been a dream, and I’ve loved every minute of it.”
