EastEnders left viewers stunned after a confusing line from Chelsea Fox created shock and frustration across Walford fans.

Chelsea’s Line Leaves Viewers Confused During Emotional Conversation
Chelsea didn’t want Vicki to fall into a mindset that all men are dangerous. It was because of her awful experience with Joel. Elsewhere, to change her thinking, she shared about her own past traumas. However, the words she used while remembering her marriage to Grey were unsettling.
She revealed that the man she married had beaten up and killed his first wife. She also told Vicki that he had killed two more people. However, she didn’t want to end up becoming a victim. And she wanted to show strength. However, many people were confused after watching this scene.
Fans posted about their reactions to X. One viewer highlighted that when Gray was exposed, Chelsea was right there with him. The entire story unfolded before her. Another question raised was, why did she mention that Gray could have killed Chantelle just as well when Chelsea knew what had happened? A few of them remarked that they completely didn’t understand the wording.
They also thought that the scene was the polar opposite of what had been shown previously. One fan said he was confused as Chelsea had recorded Gray’s confession. Elsewhere, she also helped to bring him down. Moreover, in the original domestic violence storyline, everything was taken with immense care. And that’s why they found the new one uncomfortable.
EastEnders Fans Recall The Original Gray Storyline
The scene received backlash as his story was one of the darkest in the BBC soap. First, he killed Chantelle. Later, he also murdered Tina Carter and Kush Kazemi. However, Chelsea falls for him, unaware what all he has already done. And in that marriage, she was completely isolated and emotionally broken.
Meanwhile, Grey went to the extent of manipulating Chelsea and also physically hitting her. She was carrying Jordan in her womb at that time. However, when Jordan was born, she could keep him safe when Gray was still there. But soon she discovered the crimes he committed, including the murders. And when she confronted him, he almost killed her. He tried to strangle her, but soon managed to flee to Walford.
Later, she exposed him and his truth was revealed in front of everyone. She also didn’t want anybody to link them to a killer’s family. And that is why fans disliked the latest conversation between her and Vicki. Fans remember the storyline, and they wanted to stick to the original plot rather than changing it.
