'I can't unsee it!' EastEnders fans point out error in early iPlayer release as fresh Craig twist airs
Craig makes Denzel's life hell...
EastEnders spoilers are included in this article about Craig. The episode hasn’t aired on TV, but is on BBC iPlayer now.
Today’s EastEnders sees Craig up his sickening blackmail plot against Denzel. However, it isn’t his vile ways that have got fans talking… instead, they are focused on a hilarious blunder during scenes with Amy.
Craig makes Denzel’s life a misery
After Denzel sent Amy nude photos last week, he is massively regretting his decision today. Craig saw the pictures while going through Amy’s phone and sent them to himself without her realising.
Jealous of the closeness between Amy and Denzel, Craig is now blackmailing him for £1000, or he will send the images to his whole family.
Knowing that if the pictures get online, it will be a disaster, Denzel is desperate to find the cash. He confronts Amy, who lies that she had her phone stolen, but knows full well that Craig is behind the demands.
As Kim and Howie return from their honeymoon, they give Denzel a signet ring for his 18th. He is thrilled and tells them how much he loves it. However, he knows he has no option but to pawn it and use the cash to pay off his ‘mystery’ blackmailer.
Amy is horrified when Denzel reveals his plan, and she confronts Craig about what he is doing. But as always, Craig manipulates Amy into believing he is doing the right thing, and she drops her argument.
Denzel gets desperate
Later, Denzel sells the ring and pays off the scammers. Believing that his ordeal is over, he heads to his party in a better mood. His family jokes about Denzel and Amy spending time together when they both arrive late, but they quickly dismiss the suggestion.
However, what they don’t realise is that Craig is watching the party from afar, and he’s seething.
As everyone sings Happy Birthday to Denzel, Amy spots Craig lurking in the bushes and goes to confront him. He tells her he hates seeing her with her ex, and they fight.
Amy heads back to the party, but is uneasy knowing Craig is watching her. And out of jealousy, Craig sends the nude photos to Denzel’s family, despite the blackmail money being paid.
EastEnders fans spot a problem with Craig
Sick of his manipulation and games, fans are counting down the days for someone to realise he is grooming Amy. However, in the meantime, something else has caught their attention.
Fans have pointed out that Craig ‘hiding’ in the bushes today was laughable. And, considering he was only a few metres away from Jack and the rest of the family, someone should have seen him…
“How did nobody see Craig? He wasn’t exactly being subtle with his lurking,” pointed out one fan on Reddit.
Another agreed: “I know it was absolutely ridiculous – I can’t unsee it!”
“How can Jack not see his daughter being groomed in the bushes?” wrote another viewer. While someone else added: “Craig is evil. How no one spotted him in the bushes doing a full Homer Simpson, I do not know!”
A final fan agreed: Craig just casually chilling in the park and Amy walking over to talk to him with Jack right there. How convenient that nobody saw!”
