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.
But there is question on the lips of every fan, who exactly was behind it?
Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe): She blackmailed Cindy to get out of Walford before kicking her husband George out following his surprise reaction to the public revelation about the affair. Cindy also called her ‘withered’ in her long rant.
George Knight (Colin Salmon): He claimed he was not interested in reigniting things with his ex-wife. But he was left enraged by his son’s behaviour, leaving his relationship with Elaine in ruins.
Junior Knight (Micah Balfour): He was caught suspiciously lurking in the shadows by Denise in the aftermath of the attack. He was hurt by Cindy because she claimed their affair only happened because he reminded her of his father George.
Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt): After finding out about the affair, hew kicked Cindy out in anger. He then trashed his living room, he stormed out the house and appeared to be unreachable at the time of the attack and in the aftermath.
Kojo Asare (Oludayo Koleosho): After finding out about Cindy’s affair, she put him into a coma when she pushed him off a raised platform. Could he want revenge?
Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth): She was the one to find Cindy on the pavement in the Square gardens after she was attacked with the snow shovel. Kathy always remained suspicious of Cindy because of her past and was devastated at the destruction of her family.
Anna Knight (Molly Rainford): Was seen looking out of the upstairs window with a birds eye view of the square at the time Cindy went to get her cab.
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry): Recovering addict Gina snuck out of the Vic with her coat to go on a ‘walk’, just before the attack took place.
Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa): Cindy got Lauren addicted to smack and revealed her addiction to her family, leaving Peter devastated and her family destroyed. Just before Cindy was attacked, Lauren was contemplating taking more pills in the car lot.
Peter Beale (Thomas Law): Cindy destroyed the family unit they all shared by her actions. She then called him ‘stupid’ in her extensive monologue in the Vic which left his drowning his tears.
Cindy (Michelle Collins) first disappeared from the soap when she faked her own death after she was put on the Witness Protection Programme.
She went into hiding where she found love again with George (Colin Salmon) and gave birth to two daughters.
This was before Cindy put her whole family in danger when she returned to Walford in the aftermath of the death of her daughter Lucy.
Although the police told Cindy that all the remaining members of the Ford crime family are dead and it was safe to come home, many fans were left sceptical.
However, other loyal viewers thought Amelia could be serving as an alibi for another character in the ‘whodunnit’ storyline.
They think she could have been with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) at Christmas when the Walford villain was left for dead.
So Phil is looking at Amelia the sex workers card today and then it cuts to Ian as he overhears Cindy and Junior? Amelia is definitely Ians alibi for the Cindy attack.
I reckon Amelia the sex worker is Ian’s alibi for the night of Cindys attack. He’s got form.
EastEnders continues on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
