EastEnders fans predict how Shirley will take Sam down as she uncovers huge secret

EastEnders fans are sure they've worked out how Shirley Carter will take Sam Mitchell down.

Shirley was there when two gunmen headed into Peggy's, with Sharon Watts and Kat Slater left in the firing line. However, Sam showed up and it was her who got shot.

But now it's all been revealed that Sam had planned it all - something which Shirley herself has now realised, and she is blackmailing the recent Albert Square returnee after discovering Sam was behind the raid.

Now fans are convinced Shirley has already put a plan in place to make it all work out in her favour.

"I hope Shirley’s recording Sam’s confession #EastEnders," one fan suggested online, as another viewer penned online: "Sam thinks she’s smart but Shirley’s smarter #EastEnders."

A third fan penned on Twitter : "Shirley can totally threaten Sam all she wants but if Sam goes down what's to stop her from dragging Shirley down with her & all? Did totally thrash her family business.

"Also Dotty would 100% grass if it came down to it between the two. Like Father, Like Daughter #Eastenders."

One fan suggested it could be Tommy who rumbles Sam, adding: "Tommy is gonna suss Sam out #Eastenders."

EastEnders have been airing some dramatic scenes as of late, with Sam Mitchell now revealed to be the one responsible for the gun heist ahead of the opening of nightclub Peggy's.

Sam was the one shot, with Sharon Watts and Kat Slater nearly caught in the crossfire. Shirley Carter was also present at the time, having come to the nightclub to smash it up in an act of revenge.

She was doing it to get back at the Mitchells for what they'd done, as she warned Sharon and Kat that Phil wouldn't have the last laugh, wielding a baseball bat around as she said it.

"Just tell Phil he doesn't get to make the rules anymore. He doesn't get to bounce back. He doesn't get to decide who is/isn't collateral damage," she told them, before adding: "You can't pin anything on me. This is for Heath and my granddaughter."

Earlier in the week, Kat and Sharon came to verbal blows as she found out that Sharon had been secretly meeting with Phil and that he had a way of getting out of jail, but refused to take it as he didn't want to be a 'grass'.

"He doesn't have to be banged up but he wouldn't listen to me. "He could walk out today if he'd just cooperate, if he wasn't so old school," Sharon told Kat, "He's had a 'get out of jail free' card this whole time."

Angry, Kat threw Sharon out - but later went to speak to Phil about his decision.
