Viewers of EastEnders were left mind blown by Mel Owen’s shock death in last night (November 14 2019).
In Tuesday night’s episode of the BBC soap (November 12 2019), viewers were left wondering what happened to Mel as she got into a car accident during a car chase with Sharon Mitchell.
During the chase, Mel went straight into the back of another car, leading the car to flip over as a shocked Sharon looked on.
On Thursday night, Sharon desperately tried to get Mel out of the car after spotting it was on fire and about to explode.
While Sharon was trying to help, Mel kept ‘hearing’ her deceased son Hunter calling her name.
Once Sharon managed to pull Mel from the wreckage, the car exploded.
Although it looked like everyone had survived, Mel told Sharon when she was in the car she could hear and see Hunter.
Sharon tried to convince the businesswoman that her mind was playing tricks on her, but Mel was adamant about Hunter being in the car and began walking back to the wreckage.
As she walked back, she went straight into the path of an oncoming lorry.
A short while later, viewers saw Mel’s body being covered and Albert Square residents were informed that Mel had died.

After the news of Mel’s passing broke, Mel’s best friend Lisa accused Sharon of killing her.
She told Sharon’s husband Phil that Sharon’s unborn baby wasn’t his and that Mel knew the truth.
Although Lisa was right about Sharon’s baby not being Phil’s, Sharon didn’t kill Mel.
I love that Kate Oates and Jon Sen have brought such an exciting element back to #EastEnders. There was certainly a chance Mel would be killed although it seemed unlikely. Nobody saw her actual death the way it came though, incredible work by the production team.

Also, I’m GUTTED at Mel’s fate, I was sure she would leave similar to how she did before #EastEnders

If #EastEnders had had Sharon leave Mel to die in order to protect her secret, it would have been the type of soap ‘unpredictable’ twist that we’d all actually predicted.
Instead, they chose something that cut to the heart and was true to the characters. I love it.
