SHIRLEY Carter will finally learn who murdered her best pal Heather Trott tonight
when Ben Mitchell accidentally reveals the truth.
Desperate for his dad not to get the blame for the crime, EastEnders’ Ben,
played by Joshua Pascoe, tells Shirley that it couldn’t have been Phil
(Steve McFadden) who killed her friend.
Shirley (Linda Henry) is convinced her fiancé Phil killed loveable Heather
(Cheryl Fergison) with a blow to the head from a photo frame after tracing
the murder weapon back to their home.
But as Ben tries to persuade her it wasn’t his dad, he lets slip a vital piece
of information that makes Shirley at last realise the truth it was
him.
Furious Shirley then vows to make the troubled teen pay for what he has done.
Joshua is set to leave the Square later this year.
The explosive scenes will air tonight on BBC1 at 7.30pm.
