WARNING: This article is full of spoilers for today’s EastEnders episode, which is streaming on BBC iPlayer now but has not yet aired on BBC One, and sees Honey rushed to hospital. 

Yesterday’s episode saw Honey finally discover what Bea has been up to over the last few months when Ian found credit card statements in her name.

Trapped, Bea had no option but to confess everything, leaving Honey stunned. Billy, who has said from the start that he doesn’t trust Bea, sent her packing, even after she protested that she didn’t have anywhere to go. Honey, however, felt bad for Bea, and even Will had been hoodwinked by her, as he claimed that while what she did was wrong, she did it for the right reasons.

However, Bea tampered with Billy’s ladder in revenge for being thrown out of the house. But Honey was the one who used it and ended up unconscious on the concrete.

Bea, who is watching the drama unfold from afar, is so shocked by what she’d done that she throws up in a bush. Soon, the paramedics come, and Honey is rushed to the hospital.

It is a tense wait for doctors to check Honey over. But while Billy, Linda and Ian sit and wait for news, Bea is busy organising a cover story.

She goes to McKlunky’s, and when she sees it is busy, she offers to help with the rush. To her luck, Will is there with his mates, and he comments that he didn’t realise she was working. Bea lies that she has been there for hours. She then pretends to be shocked when Will gets a call to say his mum is in the hospital.

Bea gets away with her lies… again!

Bea goes with Will to Walford General, but Ian has worked out that Honey’s fall was down to Bea, and everyone accuses her of pushing Honey off the ladder. She feigns ignorance and pretends to be hurt that people would think she could hurt her only friend.

Will then tells everyone that Bea was working at the chicken shop, so she couldn’t have been involved.

Later, Honey wakes up and confirms that no one was around while she was on the ladder. So it seems Bea has got away with her lies once again.

Billy is relieved that Honey has got away with a concussion and a compressed nerve, fearing that it could have been much worse. However, he is stunned when Honey asks him to apologise for accusing Bea. But Billy isn’t the only one… because fans are fuming, too.

EastEnders fans are infuriated by Honey for one reason

Fans took to social media to point out that they’re horrified at how forgiving Honey is. They also shared their frustration that Bea has got away with her lies once again.

“I’m trying to convince myself that Honey isn’t this stupid. Hopefully she’ll eventually unleash her ‘Inner Mitchell’ on Bea,” said one fan on X.

Someone else agreed: “Oh, so they are making Honey super dumb for this Bea story. Making Billy apologise? Honey, wake up!”

A third fan echoed: “The woman stole your identity, and you’re mad at your husband for kicking her out? Honey really is a pushover!”

“When Honey finds out Bea did something to the ladder, she will probably still forgive her. Then again, Bea could throw a brick at Will’s face, and Honey would still invite her in for dinner,” another viewer joked. 

Someone else on X predicted that Honey isn’t a pushover at all, and is actually playing Bea at her own game…

“I’m convinced that Honey is playing Bea and saw her tamper with Billy’s ladder from the window. Otherwise, that scene at the hospital was really infuriating!”
