EastEnders viewers think they have worked out what newcomer Fraser is really up to amid his plan with Dean Wicks to target Linda Carter on the BBC soap
EastEnders fans think newcomer Fraser has a secret accomplice, and they may have been rumbled.
Fraser was seen targeting Linda Carter this week, seemingly helping Dean Wicks who Linda has framed for Keanu Taylor’s murder. Fraser told Linda that if she changed her statement and didn’t testify that Dean was guilty, Dean would finally admit that he raped her in 2014.
Linda believed this could be the closure she needed after years of him denying his assault. Amid those involved in Keanu’s murder fearing the worst, his real killer Linda was tempted by Fraser’s offer.
But fans believe this could all be a lie, and someone else is working with Fraser – and they could be a familiar face. Viewers are convinced Fraser is in cahoots with a former female character who is set to return in a twist.
Amid an arrest twist for the baddie, Fraser was heard making a phone call that hinted he was working with a woman. Referring to her as “hen”, viewers wondered if this meant a female character was also in on the plan amid a separate blackmail twist.

Viewers think this could be the moment Shirley Carter returns to the show after her abrupt exit in 2022, perhaps taking revenge on daughter-in-law Linda for Dean’s arrest. We know that despite Dean’s actions Shirley made amends with her son, so is she out to get Linda?
Taking to X, one fan posted: “So Fraser was on the phone to Shirley right?! Blackmailing and uncovering Linda’s lies is an amazing vehicle for Shirley’s return for the 40th anniversary build up!”
Another agreed: “I wonder who Fraser was talking to on the phone because he said ‘hen’ clearly talking to a woman I’m thinking Shirley or aunt babe.” A third fan posted: “Hen? Who is hen? Who is Fraser really working with?”
Perhaps the ‘hen’ is the same person who has been sending the blackmail letters, but fans realised this was not Fraser himself after the arrest drama. So is more than one character out to get Linda, and could it lead to her crime being exposed?
