Accusation: Tensions are set to reach breaking point in Walford as Max Branning believes he has worked out the truth about Sharon Watts dealings with her husband Ian
Gray quickly carried Tina s body out to his car and put it in the boot, but while he was outside he was interrupted by Jack (Scott Maslen), who was looking for Tina in order to ask her some more questions about the attack on Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), which she was on bail for.
Gray lied that Tina was out at the sales and Jack simply replied: Is she now?
But what some fans might not have noticed is that a part of the blanket was sticking out of Gray s car door at the time – and police officer Jack may well have seen this and suspected that something was amiss.
EastEnders producer Jon Sen has offered the first hints about the explosive storylines coming in 2021.
As the New Year begins, Mick will finally have a confrontation with his abuser Katy Lewis (Simone Lahbib) as he find some solace from a familiar face. But, can he still save his marriage? BBC After 15 years, we re set to say goodbye to Max Branning and it s safe to say he ll go out in dramatic style, Sen promised. We ll also see the ongoing effect of Mick s abuse and with Frankie intertwined with the Carters evermore, she struggles now that the truth is out.
No-one in Walford realises that Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) has killed his second victim Tina Carter. With the Carters believing that Gray actually helped Tina skip town, who can stop the killer before he strikes again?
Although Tina initially barricaded herself in another room, Gray was next shown ranting and raving over her corpse about how she hadn t listened to him, just like Chantelle.
The lawyer later managed to convince Mick and Shirley Carter that Tina had fled the Square to escape charges over Ian s attack, while he avoided police to bury her body.
While viewers knew that Luisa Bradshaw-White would be leaving, there had previously been no indication that Tina would be killed off – so the actress has admitted her departure feels a little bittersweet . BBC Tina is a character I have invested a lot in and a character that I really love, so to see that end is quite sad, she said. When you do an acting job you usually know the ending, this is the only job where you don’t really know the ending. So after all those years in a character and then you find out the ending, it’s quite a strange experience.
