And EastEnders fans were equally as shocked as they watched from a safe distance at home…

Viewers had already had an insight into newcomer Stuart’s dark side, but it’s doubtful anybody had predicted THIS…
Halfway’s brother had hundreds of photos of young girls on his mobile phone.
Mick was floored to find the snaps in scenes that aired on Tuesday (12 June).

Stuart returned to Walford at the request of Linda who, despite disliking her husband’s friend, decided he could do with some cheering up.
Mick has been blaming himself for the death of Shakil, believing he could have saved his life.
When Stuart visited, however, it wasn’t quite the happy reunion as Mick stole his pal’s phone for a prank but was disgusted by what he found.
Mick found evidence, including photos and messages, which suggested that Stuart was grooming minors.
Jumping to the conclusion that Stuart is a sexual predator, he confronted his mate about his suspicions – accusing him of being a paedophile.
Clearly upset, Stuart urged him to report him to the police if that’s what he truly believed…
Wrestling with his conscience, Mick eventually did just that and visited Walford police station to report his friend.
And fans backed Mick all the way.
One wrote: “Now I understand why he was acting like a crazed man looking for his phone. Who would want this evidence to fall into the wrong hands. The sick head needs locking up. Mick, you’re the man for the job. Get rid of that mug so we don’t have to look at it.”
Mick is doing well reporting Stuart, well done to him #EastEnders

Another said: “Mick is doing well reporting Stuart, well done to him.”
A third wrote: “Mick can’t be friends with Stuart after this revelation, c’mon.”
But is Stuart really a paedophile? Has Mick totally misjudged his old pal?
All will be revealed in upcoming scenes.
