EastEnders have aired Bea Pollard's exit with a final scene that sent shivers down fans' backs, as Walford residents continue to come to grips with what she did20:00, 08 Jul 2026EastEnders have said goodbye to one of their villains. Wednesday's episode marked Bea Pollard's last scene on the soap and what happened made fans certain that she would never learn her lesson.‌For months, viewers have watched as Bea sunk her claws into Honey Mitchell and slowly isolated her from everyone else. Desperate to be the only person in Honey's life, Bea went so far as to set up a fake dating profile for Honey's husband Billy and claim he was cheating on her. When she started to lose her grip on her victim/friend, Bea faked her own death.‌Earlier this week, Honey and Bea met again and the two argued, causing Honey to fall and hit her head. When she woke up, she was locked into a cottage with Bea, who was determined to make sure that they would be together forever. Thankfully Honey escaped and Bea was arrested at the end of Tuesday's episode.‌Some thought that would be the end for Bea, but her final scene played out on Wednesday. Her old schoolmate, Linda Carter, went to visit Bea in prison and apologised for bullying her in school.Bea did not take kindly to Linda's words, and when Linda said that she had taken accountability for her actions and that Bea needed to as well, she responded by saying she had nothing to work out.‌Bea utterly lacked remorse when she was spoken to about how she latched on to people and destroyed their lives when they did not want to be her friend anymore.This was made abundantly clear when her lawyer was brought in. The brief's name was Mrs Bumble and upon hearing that, Bea got a crazed look in her eye and declared that they would be the "best of friends". Linda looked on in horror before turning to Jack Branning and saying that she had tried to help and would not try anymore.Fans were sure this meant Bea had found a new victim. One said: "Bea's already found her new BFF, hopefully the judge requests for mandatory therapy sessions."‌Another added: "Enjoyed the sting in the Bea story today, with the deranged begafriend setting her sights on another word-associated victim, duty solicitor MRS Bumble. Nice, circular, insane plotting."A third praised the soap for ending Bea's story with a scene with Linda, the very person who brought Bea to the Square. "I loved this final scene between Bea and Linda," they wrote. "The perfect full circle moment with it being 6 months ago this week since Linda reunited with Bea at her school reunion."Article continues belowBea's exit comes just after another villain made their comeback. Gray Atkins, a serial killer who terrorised the Square and killed Tina Carter, Kush Kazemi and his wife Chantelle Atkins in 2022 has been seen again in prison.His grandmother has been supplying him with pictures of his son Jordan.
