Tears all round.

Tonight’s episode of Eastenders was a very sad one but not for the reason fans expected.

It had been rumoured that Ben Mitchell would be killed off but tonight, in a major twist, his boyfriend Paul Coker was the one lying dead in hospital.

Ben’s brother and father, Ian and Phil, arrived at the hospital believing that Ben had died only to find out that it was actually Paul.

However, no one knows where Ben is and there a possibility he may have died too.

What happened to the pair, who were last seen on screen heading out together, has not yet been revealed.

According to reports, the truth will be unveiled in coming episodes and it looks set to be a very sad time for Albert Square.
