Fans of EastEnders have become convinced that newcomer Bea Pollard could have a ‘secret sister’ already living in Walford. Linda’s old schoolmate (‘mate’ being a loose term) arrived on the scene this week, after running into Linda at their school reunion.

Bea quickly clashed with Linda, reminding her how she was a part of the ‘mean girl’ posse at school which had made her teenage years something of a misery.

While Linda initially rankled at the memories, she soon began to feel bad, and offered an olive branch to Bea. And, as last night’s episode ended, Bea moved into Peacock Palace, with Linda and Elaine.

Bea has a sister already in Walford, EastEnders fans predict

As this week’s scenes aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Bea. And some had picked up on a certain resemblance between Bea and Honey.

“Anyone else feel like Bea is Honey’s long lost twin or sibling or relative? Or is it just me?” asked one fan on Reddit.

Said another: “I think Bea is related to Honey (potential long lost twin/sister?) They’re so similar and I think that’s by design. We don’t know much about Honey’s backstory / family history so this could be part of her character development.”

“If that’s true, it’s a stroke of genius to call Honey’s sister Bea,” replied a third.

“Their names certainly go together well!” another exclaimed.

Could she be (Bea) Honey’s long-lost sister?

Bea makes her presence felt

As the story continues next week, Bea gets her feet under the table at Peacock Palace. She soon takes notice of fellow resident, Max.

Linda offers to take her for a drink after collecting the rest of her things from the flat, but is distracted by a situation with Ollie at school. Wanting to help out, Max offers to take Bea for a drink himself – which Bea misconstrues as a date.

Still, Max goes ahead with the ‘date’ – putting his kids’ nose out of joint when he turns up late to a memorial for their late sister, Abi.
