EastEnders fans are worried for Ben Mitchell as he continues to spiral.
Ben - played by Max Bowden - has been struggling since he split from partner Callum, turning to evil Lewis for support - and then he was horrifically attacked and raped by Lewis, despite him thinking he could confide in him.
Following the attack, Ben finally confessed to his mum Kathy about what had happened - but he has still been struggling with it all, and the fall out from the end of his relationship with Callum.
On tonight's show, James offered him drugs - and he took them, as fans fear he is making a big mistake.
Taking to Twitter, viewers admitted they were terrified for Ben and worried what would happen next.
" @bbceastenders poor Ben. He’s falling apart and is self destructing. Someone please help him. #eastenders," one wrote, as another added: "Ben ohhh Ben DONT DO IT #Eastenders."
A third fan added: "Ben just keeps making the wrong choices and taking the wrong forks in the road, he's going to end up down a very dark dangerous alleyway with no way out!*! #Eastenders."
"Oh Ben, noooooooooo @MaxBowden @bbceastenders #Eastenders," a fourth shared.
Actor Max Bowden had previously opened up about the importance of the storyline.
"Alongside some wonderful charities, and some very inspirational survivors of male sexual assault in the UK, I think we’ve been able to really strive to tell the most truthful account we can, and I hope we can raise awareness and understanding on a topic that is rarely covered," he said of the storyline ahead of it being shown on the soap.
BBC head of continuing drama Kate Oates added: "Ben finds Lewis attractive, and thinks of him as a someone who can understand him in a way Callum does not; but that trust is abused when Lewis crosses a line and rapes Ben.
"Through this story, we hope to explore issues of consent, sexual identity, masculinity, and sexual assault, focusing on how this fateful night impacts Ben and those who love him over the coming months."
