EastEnders has revealed that Sharon Mitchell was responsible for stealing the missing heist money.
Aidan and his men haven't seen the cash since Billy hid it away in a coffin, with various members of their gang coming under suspicion.
What to Read Next
But after weeks of mystery and accusations, the truth was finally revealed in tonight's scenes (February 2) – and as we suspected, Sharon (Letitia Dean) was hiding a very big secret after all.
Sharon's guilt had already been hinted at during an incriminating conversation with her husband Phil in Thursday's cliffhanger, overheard by Mel Owen.
With Mel also on a mission to track down the money, her latest discovery led her to Sharon's door, where she finally made a long-awaited breakthrough.
Feeling increasingly desperate, Mel put all of her cards on the table with Sharon – explaining that she needed to find the money in order to be reunited with her son Hunter.
Still convinced that Phil was responsible, Mel tried to appeal to Sharon's better nature by comparing the situations with their sons – unaware that she was actually barking up the wrong tree.
The closing moments of the episode saw Sharon reveal to Mel that it was her who took the money, not Phil – paving the way for a big fallout in future episodes.
Fans will have to wait and see what happens next, but spoilers for next week confirm that Mel is about to be reunited with Hunter. Does this mean she's managed to persuade Sharon to hand over the cash? Or is there another twist in store?
EastEnders continues on Monday, February 5 at 8pm on BBC One.
