But that wasn’t the only thing that left viewers scratching their heads, as fans were baffled as to how the scheming legal professional managed to take their child without being caught.
The doting mum waited outside the door to the Intensive Care Unit as she listened to the terrifying phone call, which would have made it almost impossible for Gray to sneak past her and take they baby without being caught.

One User questioned: “Wait, how the hell did Gray somehow sneak past Chelsea to snatch Jordan in the first place given she was literally right outside the door the whole time?
“Also other than her statement there’s no actual evidence against Kheerat is there? Maybe she could withdraw it? #EastEnders.”
Another agreed: “No cause how did Gray take Jordan when Chelsea was at the door the whole time ? #EastEnders.”
A third hoped: “Let’s hope Jordan was taken by the nurse for one last check up [fingers crossed emoji] #EastEnders.”
Meanwhile, one fan on the show pointed out: “Hate seeing Gray being one step ahead by taking Jordan from the hospital, thankfully not for long now. [shocked emoji] #EastEnders.”
