Actress Melissa Batchelor has made quite the impression on EastEnders fans in her stint on the soap.

This week she bumped into a depressed and angry Phil (Steve McFadden) outside The Vic as she was on the phone.

She solicited him straight away, inviting him for a drink and handing him her business card.

On tonight’s episode, Phil once again lashes out at a worried Sharon (Letitia Dean), as he throws her out of his home.

When she returns, ready to forgive her ex-husband, she is surprised that Amelia was in the house.

The sex worker needed her money immediately as she was needed for another job across town.

With a cheeky wink at Sharon, she left the Mitchell household for her next move.

However, viewers took to social media as they claimed the new character has an ulterior motive and has joined the soap at just the right time.

They think she might have secretly been the perpetrator behind the highly-publicised attack on Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) at Christmas.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan claimed: “What if Amelia is a Ford and was the one who attacked Cindy?”

A second replied: “I was honestly thinking the same thing.”

“Amelia is a slippery fish,” stated a third fan.

While a fourth wrote: “My theory: Amelia is a hitman (hitperson?) for the Ford family or is part of the family.

“She was supposed to end Cindy on Christmas Day but botched the job, so now Amelia’s lingering in Walford, keeping tabs on the investigation and waiting for another opportunity.”

Who attacked Cindy Beale: The suspects

Cindy Beale was dramatically attacked at the end of the highly-anticipated Christmas Day special.

I reckon Amelia the sex worker is Ian’s alibi for the night of Cindys attack. He’s got form.
