EastEnders fans were left fuming during Thursday’s visit to Walford as Karen Taylor screamed at Mitch Baker after he suggested that Gray Atkins played a part in Chantelle’s death.
Mitch and the rest of the family were devastated following the discovery that his daughter had died last week.
However, his interest was soon piqued by Kheerat Panesar’s (Jaz Deol) showdown with Gray in the middle of the Square.
He set about getting to the bottom of things, and Kheerat soon filled him in on his theories.
In tonight’s episode, Kheerat revealed how he and Chantelle were planning on running away together, as she was unhappy with Gray.
Mitch was stunned by the revelation, as he attempted to process everything Kheerat had said.
However, things took quite the turn when Kheerat revealed that he believes Gray found out about Chantelle’s escape plan, and that an altercation ensued.
He asked Mitch if he believed such a thing might have been possible, but Mitch ran off after hearing Kheerat’s suggestion.
Mitch later brought up the subject with Karen, asking if she thought it possible, but the grieving mother was horrified at the claim that Gray had anything to do with her daughter’s death.
She instead pointed the finger at Kheerat, and then turned against Mitch, berating him for making such an accusation, while reminding him that it was she who raised Chantelle.
EastEnders fans were left devastated at the fact that Karen had turned on Mitch while the pair grieved for their daughter.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Karen, you’re so wrong, Mitch is right. Get our head out your a**.= and see what you really can’t see. Gray is a Killer. He gaslighted Chantelle and now he’s gas lighting her family.”
Another added: “Wish Karen would listen to Mitch.”
A third said: “Karen should listen to Mitch.”
While a fourth posted: “Karen needs to wake up and smell the coffee – Gray’s a wrongun. Frustrating to watch.”
She ordered Mitch out of the flat, and proceeded to break down. Will Karen come to realise that Kheerat’s theory is more than just a theory?
Chantelle was killed last week in devastating scenes after months of abuse at the hands of her husband Gray.
Will Gray get his comeuppance?
EastEnders continues on BBC One on Friday at 8:30pm
