Is Andy the Builder set to turn deadly? Viewers worry about Roxy Mitchell’s fate on Eastenders
Sinister scowl at the end of last episode leaves viewers worried about his intent
EASTENDERS’ new mystery man Andy looks set to rock the Square – and poor Mitchell sister Roxy could be in the firing line.
Andy, played by Jack Derges, has been shrouded in mystery since he first appeared in Walford in March, but now new rumours have surfaced that the Builder has sinister motives that could see the end of troubled Roxy.
In Friday’s episode, Roxy and Andy were caught kissing by her sister Ronnie and Jack Branning.
The duo’s lunch date had ended in disaster after Roxy punched him in the face.
But when Roxy chases after him and kisses him on the stairs of his house, Andy - apparently undeterred - asked Roxy out for a real date.
He said: "I want to take you for a proper meal. One with actual plates, not a chip fork in sight."
Jack jested to Ronnie: “I hope he knows what he’s letting himself in for.”
But it looks like it could be Roxy who is in over her head.
When the pair hugged at the end of the episode, Andy’s glare left viewers assuming his intentions weren’t positive.
One wrote: “he's cute, even with the creepy look. Let's hope he doesn't hurt Roxy she's been through enough.”
