EastEnders viewers believe they may have worked out the mystery caller who newcomer George Knight was shown speaking to on Thursday night.
Shortly after his debut as Elaine Peacock's partner, George was seen sneaking off to answer his phone while the identity of the caller was not shared.
As he headed outside of The Vic, where he'd just moved into with partner Elaine and his daughters Anna and Gina, he spoke discreetly on the phone to a mystery person.
While he seemed calm and as though he knew the person on the other end of the line, he told them: "Yeah, I can't talk right now. I will call you back."
The conversation ended there and there was no further calls or mention of the call, while Nish Panesar did catch the conversation.
The conversation didn't seem to suggest he was panicked or under pressure like he would be if he was avoiding someone, but it was clear the mystery character had expected to hear from him.
For it to happen just after his arrival, could it suggest there's more to him heading to Walford and taking over the pub, and is there a mystery plan unfolding?
None of that is clear, while Elaine was heard saying her man was someone who "knew what he wants" just as the scene aired.
Viewers watching the episode immediately shared their theories on who the caller was, with many convinced they knew their identity.
With EastEnders teasing the family or George have "a dark past", viewers believed it was a secret lover or maybe even George's missing wife who he might have been speaking to.
Viewers know that his ex hasn't been a part of their lives for some time and her whereabouts are a mystery, while it's soon claimed that she walked out on the family when the girls were younger.
Taking to Twitter, one fan suggested: "I do like George but I feel like there will eventually be some sort of plot twist with his character, especially since he was on the phone.. it was probably rose (mentioned in the episode descriptions)."
Another viewer asked: "Is that George's secret wife on the phone?" as a third said: "That was definitely Georges other woman, or wife on the phone."
It comes amid speculation returning character Cindy Beale could be the mystery wife of George, and mother to his daughters.
Fans say a number of clues teased a possible link between the former Walford villain and the new family, while it's yet to be confirmed who their mother is and where she went.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "So what are we all thinking? Cindy beale could possibly be gina and anna’s mother? The (what i assume was) anna’s jewellery box and anna saying walford already felt like home….."
Others recalled that Cindy had a sister called Gina on the BBC soap, as one pointed out the possible jewellery box link.
Another viewer said: "That scene with Anna & Gina talking about their mum and the jewellery box definitely meant something."
A third fan commented: "George's partner Elaine tells her daughter, Linda Carter that the mother of his girls walked out on them 9 years earlier and 'never looked back.' Now, what else of note happened back in 2014? Cindy's eldest daughter, Lucy Beale was killed in a shocking 'whodunnit' storyline."
Another fan wrote: "Definitely not a coincidence that Anna and Gina had scenes with Bobby and Kathy tonight!"
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
