Could Walford have a brand new ice cold killer in the making?
On Thursday, fans saw crafty Aunt Babe reveal that it was really Abi Branning who locked her in the freezer – not her sister Sylvie Carter, who she had pointed the finger at as a convenient way of getting her out of the way.

Babe (Annette Badland) looked like she was burying the hatchet with Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) when she helped her to get her job back at the pub – but once they were alone, the plot twist was revealed.
The recently refrigerated Babe said: “You did me a favour in a roundabout way. My family think it was Sylvie who shut me in. Poor old dear will be under house arrest from now on.”
Abi said: “It’s a pity you didn’t freeze to death,” and Babe replied: “I taught you well, girl. Except, I’d have finished what I started…”
The doof doof doof moment had the desired effect for many fans.

Others thought Abi could probably do with a career change at some point soon.

Abi’s actions definitely earned a big thumbs up from viewers sick of Aunt Babe’s slyness.
