EastEnders fans are fearing the worst after Bobby Beale doused his house in petrol and grabbed a lighter.
The troubled teenager looked set to start a deadly blaze in the Beale house after being tormented by dead sister Lucy's ghost.
After arguing with dad Ian, furious Bobby had to face his demons when he heard the voice of his late sister accusing him of being "the runt of the litter" and a "mistake".
The horrifying ordeal finally got too much for poor Bobby when he heard Lucy's screams and saw her dead body on the floor.
Bobby grabbed some petrol cans from the Arches then darted inside and locked the door while Max Branning frantically tried to get inside.
"This is my house. You don’t live here anymore," shouted Bobby as he tried to erase the ghost of his sister.
He started throwing petrol all around the room while trying to stop hearing Lucy's voice giggling."
"I will never forgive you. never," said Lucy's cold voice as Bobby apologised for killing his big sister.
With Bobby about to burn down the house, Max desperately tried to kick down the door while calling out for the lad.
Bobby closed his eyes and gripped hold of the lighter - seemingly about to torch the place.
Will Bobby start a deadly blaze that will kill himself and Max?
