EastEnders villain Gray Atkins' downfall 'rumbled' in clue amid Tina Carter fears

EastEnders viewers believe it is the beginning of the end for Gray Atkins, who could be about to trigger his own downfall.

Gray killed his wife Chantelle Atkins in September, and has concealed the truth about her death ever since - making it out to seem she had suffered an accident while he was out of the house.

Tina Carter confronted Gray in a chilling Boxing Day cliffhanger, after he turned his attentions to her.

Wanting her out of his house, he decided to scare her into going on the run after she became a key suspect in Ian Beale's attack.

But when the police caught up with her and explained the witness Gray had set up had fallen through, it dawned on her she didn't need to flee after all.

She headed back to Gray's house and confronted him over his lies, before putting the pieces together about Chantelle.

Tina quickly guessed the events leading to Chantelle's murder after a chat with Kheerat Panesar, and she soon accused Gray of killing her.

Fans praised a confident Tina for finally telling Gray who he was, but it left many fearing the worst.

Ahead of the next episode, there's concern from fans who believe she could be his next victim.

As many worried that she may pay for confronting him with her life after how angry he was at the end of the episode, others hoped this would not be the case.

But a handful of viewers also predicted that a deadly outcome, or her being forced to flee, could lead to the downfall of Gray after a major "clue".

If Gray was to kill Tina, he'd have to get rid of her body surely as another accident in his home would look a bit dodgy.

But with this being soap land, the evidence would always come back in the end - with many fans wondering if her unique Tina necklace may just do that regardless of her fate.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "That necklace with Tina's name on it from Shirley will 100% come into play when Tina 'goes missing'."

Another agreed: "I said this!! Tina will suddenly disappear and Shirley will find the necklace hidden somewhere in Gray’s house and start digging."

A third added: "Deffo!" as others shared their own thoughts.

Tina's fate is yet to be confirmed, with many hoping she will make an escape from Gray or even expose his crimes.

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