Some fans bizarrely think this could lead to his comeback on the show after recent reports.‌One theory being shared is that Bea is helping Gray to get his son Jordan, who lives with his mother Chelsea Fox, Gray's ex. Amid Jordan being caught up in an accident, another theory is that Bea could be writing to Gray in prison.‌There is nothing to suggest the two characters are linked, but fans are convinced there has to be more to Bea's storyline. She's been committing fraud while also manipulating characters.She was introduced as an old schoolmate of Linda Carter, but has since remained in Walford. Amid drama with Honey Mitchell, fans are convinced there has to be a reason for her staying.‌Following reports that Gray was heading back to Walford, fans now think that Bea could be linked to Gray. Taking to social media a viewer posted: "What if Bea is Gray's new partner and is trying to take Jordan so they can be a 'happy family'?"Another fan said: "I think Bea could be Gray’s mum," as a third added: "Bea is Gray's sister I'm thinking." A further comment read: "I love the theory that Bea is related to Gray because so far she's not really had a role of relevance."Another viewer said: "I think maybe Gray could be involved in the new year story. OMG if that's true that she wants Jordan omg. Apparently Ian is having a life-changing storyline this year so this could be it."‌The comments kept on coming too with one reading: "Bea has maybe been writing to Gray in prison. She seems like she would be someone who writes to killers in jail - like the lady in Happy Valley."A final post read: "I’ve always thought Bea was weird you can just tell something isn’t right."
