EastEnders fans bemused as Mick Carter goes to the shop to buy booze – even though he owns a pub!

Something's gone wrong somewhere!

EastEnders fans were baffled during last night’s episode when Mick went to the MinuteMart – to buy a bottle of fizz!

Mick was planning a special meal for him and wife Linda, so he went to the corner shop.

But along with his “ice cream gateau” he picked up a bottle of champagne.

Even Honey was surprised by his choices.

“A man with his own pub buying booze from the corner shop, I’ve seen it all Mick,” she said.

Mick blamed everything on Masood, saying he’d “sold all the good stuff”.

But the viewers weren’t convinced by Mick’s explanation.

“So Mick owns a pub…yet goes next door and buys a bottle of alcohol from the shop!” laughed one fan.

Another wailed: “How stupid is that”

And another fan added: “Note to scriptwriters: Having a character SAY how nonsensical it is doesn’t stop it from actually BEING nonsense.”

He’s got a point!

We’re looking forward to seeing Ian ordering a portion of chips in The Vic, Martin buying an apple from the MinuteMart, and Kathy going home for a sandwich in her lunch break from the cafe.

EastEnders continues tomorrow at 7.30pm on BBC One
