EastEnders reveals true identity of Charlotte and why she’s targeting Bianca
EastEnders fans were introduced to newcomer Charlotte who befriended Sonia Fowler and Bianca Jackson on the BBC soap on Monday, leaving fans suspicious about her reasons
Charlotte in EastEnders sparked some suspicions within minutes of her appearing on the BBC soap.
Newcomer Charlotte debuted on Monday night and befriended Sonia Fowler and Bianca Jackson. As she got talking to the pair, appearing supportive, she talked of “mums having to stick together”.
Earlier in the episode she’d been in Beale’s Eels watching the pair as Ian Beale mocked Bianca over her recent kidnapping ordeal. Sonia’s fiancé Reiss Colwell had k.i.l.l.e.d his ex-wife Debbie before allowing Sonia, pregnant at the time, to be framed and imprisoned.
When Bianca found out he locked her in a storage unit for months and even plotted to k.i.l.l her. Just before he believed she’d d.i.e.d he framed her for the d.e.a.t.h of Debbie to get Sonia released.
Bianca did make it out alive and helped save Sonia from her evil fella, only for him to be k.i.l.l.e.d by a falling bathtub during The Queen Vic explosion. Sonia and Bianca are trying to adjust to life after Reiss, with some Walford residents forever reminding them of what he did.On Monday the sisters visited the restaurant for lunch only for Ian to bring up Reiss holding Bianca captive once more. Sonia comforted her sister and told her to ignore him, only for Charlotte to be watching with interest.

She was then seen on her phone, before shouting at Ian claiming to be defending Bianca and Sonia after Ian’s treatment of them. He seemed taken aback as Charlotte went to leave, before shouting out: “The way you treat your customers is a disgrace. I’ve left a review saying as much.”
Bianca and Sonia smirked before leaving with Charlotte, as Ian watched on mortified. He then checked the reviews, claiming he was going to be cancelled.
As the trio of women got talking outside, Bianca praised her for the review and Charlotte then made the comment that: “Us mums have got to stick together,” before introducing herself. The women did the same back before showing her baby Julia.
Charlotte then offered the girls a drink, but Sonia turned this down with Bianca also going to leave. Sonia told her sister to stay and let her hair down though, telling her to drink with the woman they had never met.

As Bianca agreed Charlotte told her to go inside, as she had to make a call to her ex about childcare. We then saw Charlotte make the call, quietly telling the mystery person on the other end of the line: “I’m in.”
Viewers immediately feared the worst with one fan writing online: “God Ian is a s**t. That woman’s review on him was hilarious. But she’s not what she seems. What do we reckon – journo?”
Another fan suggested: “Sleazy Podcaster.” But spoilers have confirmed, it seems, what Charlotte is really up to. Her real intentions come to light in the next episode.
Bianca finds out that Charlotte is actually a journalist and she wants to interview Bianca and Sonia about Reiss. Bianca declines the interview but it’s clear she’s intrigued to know more.
