'I forgot they were in EastEnders!' Fans thrilled after spotting long-lost Mitchell in early iPlayer episode
Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans don't miss a thing...
WARNING: This article is full of spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming on BBC iPlayer now, but has not yet aired on BBC One, and sees Amy Mitchell make a rare appearance.
Today’s EastEnders sees Lauren trying to get her money back after being sold a rusty old car from one of Alfie’s contacts.
But while she is out trying to redeem herself and win her bet with Max, he has been left all alone at the car lot because Priya has called in sick.
Ravi’s mental health takes another worrying turn
Max isn’t impressed with their latest recruit’s work ethic. But what he doesn’t know is that Priya would much rather be at work than where she is right now.
Over at Priya and Ravi’s flat, Ravi locks his whole family indoors and takes away their phones.
Unaware of their dad’s spiralling mental health, Nugget and Avani are happy to have the day off school. The family plays games and watches films, and Priya starts to think this might be the tonic Ravi needed.
EastEnders: Amy Mitchell makes a rare appearance
However, things take a turn when Suki starts to worry that no one has seen the family after hearing from Max that Priya isn’t at work.
While Max is complaining that Priya is a no-show, Suki panics – especially when Amy walks past and confirms that Avani and Nugget were also off school.
But while Suki heads straight to Ravi and Priya’s flat to see what is going on, fans got distracted. They were less concerned about struggling Ravi and more focused on the fact that they had seen Amy on screen for the first time in weeks.
EastEnders fans thrilled to spot Amy Mitchell
The last time we saw Amy was when Penny showed everyone her baby scan in The Vic last month.
However, fans have been complaining that we haven’t seen enough of the character on screen recently. They are also calling for her to take centre stage in more storylines…
“Crikey, Amy Mitchell had a line in today’s episode… where has she been?” said one fan on X. Another agreed: “Sometimes I forget Amy is part of the Mitchell family!”
Someone else added: “I love Amy, she is an underrated gem, and Ellie Dadd plays her amazingly. We need to see more of her on screen.”
While another fan wants to see more scenes with Amy and her friends. “Can we have more scenes from Amy, Avani and Barney? It is great to see them on screen together!”
