BBC EastEnders Maya Houssain’s revenge ‘sealed’ as spoilers drop new clue

EastEnders has dropped more clues about newcomer Maya Houssain amid her friendship with Harvey Monroe.

Maya made a debut last month in Walford and soon started an unlikely friendship with cab driver Harvey. The pair bonded over their mutual love of football, and Harvey was delighted to make another friend with similar interests after Rocky Cotton and Mitch Baker’s recent departures.

However, their friendship soon fizzled out when Harvey lost Maya’s number and decided to contact her on social media instead. As Harvey bumped into Maya, she shared her upset over the fact he had “stalked” her online. Harvey explained he was simply trying to reach out to her, but Maya accused him of going through her details, adding she was a private person.

Harvey managed to win her back round, offering to take her for a drink. As the pair spoke, Harvey told Maya how lonely he had been after some of his pals moved away. But as Harvey asked about Maya’s home life, she confessed the sad news that her husband had passed away a year ago. She claimed she was dealing with it and was doing ok.

Later in the episode as Harvey returned with another drink, Maya said she had to go and that her cab driver was waiting for her outside. Harvey suggested if he’d been sober he could have driven her home, but Maya seemed panicked over this before fleeing out the door. Harvey then realised she’d left her hat behind though, and chased after her but the cab drove away. As Harvey went onto Maya’s social media profile to contact her, he was stunned to realise the page no longer existed and had been deleted.

Viewers are convinced Maya’s behaviour was proof she was targeting Harvey, predicting a revenge twist was on the cards. As some wondered if it was linked to something that happened in Harvey’s past, others repeated the theory that Maya’s husband was the man Harvey’s son Aaron attacked a few years ago in a racially motivated assault. And spoilers for next week reveal more details and clues.

In upcoming scenes, Harvey and Maya go to lunch after Maya is stood up by a friend, but the conversation is soon soured when Harvey reveals the truth about his son Aaron’s criminal past when the pair discuss their families. Later in the week, Harvey worries he’s lost Maya as a friend when she doesn’t respond to his text, but elsewhere Maya is looking up details relating to Aaron’s previous criminal history…
