EastEnders drugs horror for Bex Fowler as she accepts pills from Dotty Cotton

EastEnders aired worrying scenes on Thursday night, as Bex Fowler agreed to take drugs with her friend Dotty Cotton.

As the girls and Bobby Beale prepared for a night out, Dotty suddenly suggested they shouldn't join her as they wouldn't be up for what she had planned.

As Bobby questioned what she meant, she suddenly took a bag of unknown pills out of her bag.

Bex asked her what they were, with Dotty simply replying: "Well they aren't Aspirin."

Bobby immediately declined the drugs, blaming it on his recent drug use that led to him hallucinating and stumbling onto a train track.

But fans were left concerned, as Bex had a completely different reaction.

She told Dotty she would take them with her, despite not even knowing what they were.

Fans feared for the character ahead of her exit from the BBC soap later this year, as they urged her not to take the pills.

Viewers will have to tune in on Friday to find out whether or not she takes the drugs, with fans hoping she will reconsider.

Bex has appeared to be back on track after her devastating suicide attempt last year.

She told her loved ones that she regretted her decision, and was looking forward to focusing on her future.

But just recently, actress Jasmine Armfield teased Bex could be the unlucky victim of the upcoming boat tragedy.

Several characters will be left fighting for their lives as disaster strikes the boat party on the River Thames.

One character will be killed off, but their identity remains a mystery.

Jasmine told Mirror Online last month: "Anything could happen! It's EastEnders, anything could happen. I don't want to give any spoilers but... it's possible."

Teasing her final scenes, Jasmine added: "Dramatic, wet and... tune in! I'm so bad at this!"

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
