EastEnders fans were left frustrated following Monday night's instalment of the hit BBC1 soap, which saw Suki Panesar leave struggling Ben Mitchell for dead in the street.
Ben, played by 27-year old Max Bowden, appeared to overdose on drugs amidst his ongoing battle in coming to terms with the trauma of being raped by barman Lewis Butler (Aidan O'Callaghan, 33) in June.
The son of Phil Mitchell and Kathy Beale was seen lying in a pile of rubbish as he reached out and called Suki's name as she approached, but she subsequently ignored him and walked away.
