EastEnders fans are convinced Janine Butcher has a secret motive amid her romance with Mick Carter.
Janine (Charlie Brooks) has been growing close to Mick (Danny Dyer) for weeks now, and the pair's romance took a huge leap forward during tonight's episode as Mick admitted he had strong feelings for Janine.
He had been hiding his romance with Janine for weeks, worried about his ex Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) might feel about it all - but he decided to finally show off his love for Janine and kissed her in the street during the episode which aired this evening.
However, fans of the BBC soap are convinced Janine has an ulterior motive in all of this.
" #Janine are you turning a new leaf or one of your ploys as #MICK will have some money after the sale of the pub #EastEnders @bbceastenders," one fan wrote online.
A second added: "I still think Janine is 100% after the pub and using Mick to get it. It would be a classic Janine Butcher move and I'm here for it #Eastenders xx," as a third shared: "Janine is on a madness !! She wants that pub badly !!! #EastEnders."
"The look on Janine's face says it all. She wants the pub #EastEnders," a fourth fan wrote online, with a fifth penning on Twitter as they tuned into tonight's episode of the soap: "Janine is only after the pub #EastEnders."
"I'm in the middle on this one now. Mick's only getting with Janine based off Linda's impulsive behaviour. Janine is not into Mick - she wants the pub and her feelings will be laid bare for all to see tonight. Mick deserves to be on his own to focus on his family. #EastEnders," a sixth wrote as they discussed their hope for Mick's future.
Danny Dyer will be exiting his role as Mick later this year, but his storyline is being kept a huge secret. However, he has teased that it will be a very epic and fitting end to the character.
"We've just been pitched my leaving storyline. It's going to be epic. It's huge," he teased, as co-star Kellie added: "It is going to be epic. I don't know how I'm going to get through, because I'm very sad that Danny is going. But it's going to be very exciting."
