Does Craig die in EastEnders? Everything you need to know as Amy fights back in self-defence
Things don't look good for evil Craig
Amy Mitchell hit out at vile Craig Ingram in tonight’s EastEnders after she finally saw his true colours. But as Craig lay motionless on the floor as the credits rolled, everyone’s asking if this is the end for the former detective.
Yesterday’s episode saw Sean finally confront Craig at the hospital while Amy was visiting Denise.
However, just when it looked like Sean might rescue Amy from Craig’s dangerous clutches, today’s EastEnders saw the pair manage to escape once again.
Amy finally realised Craig is bad news in EastEnders
After realising that Denise tricked her into coming to the hospital, Amy ran out. As she got back to the car, she saw Sean and Craig fighting. Seeing Amy again for the first time in years threw Sean, enough for Craig to seize the moment and jump back into the car.
Despite being shocked to see Sean, Amy got into the car with Craig and the pair sped off. Jack was fuming when he heard Sean had messed up his rescue mission, and he threw him out of the house.
But little did they know what horrors were unfolding at the bedsit where Craig had Amy trapped.
After Denise told her that Craig wasn’t suspended from the police because he covered up her attack on Joel, but instead because multiple women had filed complaints against him, Amy started to realise that wasn’t the only thing Craig had lied about.
While Amy was in the bathroom, Craig called Jack and demanded £100k in return for Amy. Jack quickly agreed and demanded to know where to meet him, but Amy overheard the whole conversation and realised Craig only wanted her for her money.
Amy confronted Craig, but he claimed he was tricking Jack into handing over the money. But when Amy then asked about the complaints from female colleagues, Craig turned on her, saying it was all lies and that he loved her.
However, as he went out to get them both some food, Amy stole Craig’s phone and used it to call Denzel.
Denzel was in the cafe when he answered the call, and Sean overheard. He grabbed the phone and demanded to know where Amy was… just as Craig walked in and caught Amy on the phone.
Craig turned violent
This was the moment Craig turned on Amy. He lashed out at her for calling for help and hit her across the face again.
He then tried to force himself on her, and she struggled to get away. Eventually, she managed to break free of his grasp and ran to hide in the bathroom. But Craig wasn’t going to take no for an answer and smashed the door down to get to her.
Desperate to stop him, Amy hit Craig over the head with a metal candlestick, knocking him to the ground.
Amy instantly saw blood pooling at Craig’s head and stood frozen to the spot as Craig stayed motionless on the floor.
Does Craig die in EastEnders?
With Craig out cold on the floor, things don’t look good for him.
While exactly what happens to Craig next is being kept under wraps, the recent winter trailer (which you can watch below) has dropped some serious hints about the future of this storyline.
The first clue that Craig won’t survive is that he isn’t in the trailer beyond what we have seen on screen. While we see Sean confront Craig at the hospital, which has already been on screen, we don’t see Craig again in the clip.
We also see Sean, Jack, and Phil all dressed in black with surgical gloves on, standing outside what could be the bedsit Amy and Craig have been staying in.
Could they be there to dispose of Craig’s body? They are certainly the three men in Amy’s life who would go above and beyond to protect her.
Then the final clue is something Sean says to Max. He reminds him of the time he and Tanya buried him alive in the woods. Could this be a hint about what will happen to Craig? Are the men about to dispose of Craig once and for all?
