Eastenders has been on our screens since the 1980s (Image: BBC) EastEnders viewers have been left on edge after a dramatic episode hinted that a well-loved character might face a grim fate following a recent terrifying crowd crush scenario on the show. The tension soared this week when Chelsea Fox, played by Zaraah Abrahams, took revenge on Penny Branning (portrayed by Kitty Castledine) for undermining her position at Peggy's bar by secretly increasing ticket sales for an event. Overwhelmed, the unsuspecting Penny watched as the venue became dangerously overpacked on Monday's cliffhanger (August 26).

As chaos ensued with regulars like Peter (Thomas Law) and Bobby (Clay Milner Russell) witnessing the escalating situation, Zack made vain attempts to evacuate the throngs of people, only to discover the exits were jammed. In the gripping scenes, teenage Amy Mitchell (acted by Ellie Dadd), who had managed to get into Peggy's unnoticed, found herself caught in the upheaval. Despite everyone successfully escaping, Tuesday's follow-up (August 27) revealed Amy suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, leaving Walford stalwart Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) aghast as he watched his daughter being thrust into an ambulance.
