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 Bea manipulate Honey.

It was revealed last week that Bea will soon be leaving Walford, and not a moment too soon, according to many viewers.

Bea has proven to be a real Marmite character, with some fans enjoying her quirky, scheming ways, while others are fuming that she has managed to worm her way into Billy and Honey’s lives. 

But fans think they have worked out how she is going to leave after spotting a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that most of us missed…

Bea’s plan to ruin Honey’s marriage continues

As Billy and Honey’s date night ended in disaster in yesterday’s episode, Bea is set to use the couple’s crossed wires to her advantage as her bid to split them up continues. 

The pair were looking forward to some alone time without Bea hanging around. Billy even pulled out all the stops and booked a table at Knight Fusion. 

However, Nicola advised Honey to play hard to get. Meanwhile, Alfie told Billy to tread carefully and let Honey take the lead when it came to time in the bedroom. This meant the couple got their wires totally crossed. 

Honey was left thinking Billy didn’t fancy her any more, while Billy wondered why Honey was in a mood with him. Today’s episode sees Bea overhear Billy telling Alfie about their failed date night and she uses it to her advantage.

Bea winds Billy up about Honey being too good for him, while then taking Honey out for cocktails and hinting that Billy might cheat on her now that she is perimenopausal.

Honey is horrified at the suggestion. But while she pops to the loo, Bea uses the moment to create a dating profile for Billy online, and uses AI to create a fake Billy voice note saying he is looking for romance.

Fans work out how Bea will leave EastEnders 

Spoilers have revealed that Bea will announce to the pub next week that Billy tried to sleep with her. The fallout is huge, with Honey mortified and Billy struggling to prove his innocence. 

Bea is set to leave Walford in the coming weeks, but how she departs is still under wraps. However, fans think they have cracked the case after spotting a sweet moment in the cafe between Honey and Nicola.

The pair shared a heart-to-heart yesterday, where Nicola advised Honey on her love life. At first, fans thought it was a nice moment between family members. However, they are now sure that this is the key to Bea’s exit…

“Loved the Honey and Nicola scenes today. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Nicola was the one who ran Bea out of town?” said one fan on social media. 

“That would be iconic,” replied another viewer. “No one messes with Nicola’s family and gets away with it!”

“I’m obsessed with the idea of Nicola being the one to expose Bea and get rid of her for good. I need this to happen!” said a third fan. 

Spoilers have revealed that Phil tries to get rid of Bea next week by paying her to leave Walford. But perhaps this is a red herring. Maybe it’s another Mitchell entirely who manages to get rid of bonkers Bea in the end?

One thing is for sure, Nicola has form when it comes to ‘disposing’ of people who get in her way. Could Bea become her next target?
