EASTENDERS secretly revealed Paul Coker’s killer would be released from prison two years ago in a blink and you’ll miss it court scene.
Viewers watched last week as Ben Mitchell was left devastated by the news Paul’s killer Simon had served just five years of his sentence.
He was released after appealing his sentence and having it downgraded from murder to manslaughter.
It came as a huge shock – but had Linda Carter been paying attention in court back in 2019, then it would have been common knowledge.
Back in November of that year, Linda found herself in court after being caught drink driving.
And as she anxiously awaited her trial in the waiting room, a call out can be heard for four men to go to their hearing.
The announcer asks for: “Frankie Burn, Neil Crosley, Tom Eden and Simon Atmore.”
If only Linda had listened, she could have warned Ben what was coming.
Viewers will know that these are the four men who brutally assaulted Ben Mitchell and killed his boyfriend Paul in a homophobic attack in 2016.
Now with Ben knowing that Simon has appealed his sentence and been released, he is planning on getting revenge himself.
