Ever since Ray Kelly arrived in Albert Square, EastEnders fans have been struggling to get a grip on the character.
What could be next for the mysterious character? What is his big secret?
Well, actor Sean Mahon, who plays the East London newbie, is enjoying the mystery and wants to keep us guessing for some time.
Speaking to Metro, he said: "It's always great to come in with a secret that you're slowly divulging and you sometimes forget that you know where it's heading and then you read the possible guesses online and you're like, 'that's so not the right direction!'"
He added: "It's great to hold the cards and to play them slowly."
If you're anything like us, then you're keen to learn more about what Ray might get up to in future episodes and the actor dropped a few choice hints.
What to Read Next
"I think in the coming weeks, we will certainly see how the history of the family pulls them together very quickly – and they become a unit," he teased.
"With any long-standing relationship though, there's always a fly in the ointment and that will start to raise itself."
He was, of course, talking about the (maybe) happy couple Ray Kelly and Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite).
One of the big questions in EastEnders at the moment is if Ray really does have genuine feelings for Mel or is she just in for a whole lot more sadness in future?
Speaking about working with Outhwaite, Mahon revealed how much extra work went into getting their relationship as believable as possible.
"We enjoy getting in early and preparing beforehand. It's a bit like theatre – reading into the characters," he said.
"When you find an actor that you can jive with, it creates a bit of magic."
