Since Cindy Beale was whacked over the head with a shovel on Christmas Day and left for dead, viewer theories have been rife.
The whodunit storyline will lead up to EastEnders’ 40th anniversary next month.
Fans recently watched as George Knight discovered the weapon used, covered in Cindy’s blood with strands of her hair.
During tonight’s episode, as George attempted to discard the shovel, Elaine followed a suspicious Anna in the cellar.
Catching her looking for the shovel, Elaine frantically calls George to come back with the evidence.
Later, the pair confront Anna who denies having knowledge of the weapon while looking worried.
She explained how she was getting stock in the cellar when she discovered the bloody shovel.
“It had blood on it, I didn’t know what to do…
“I thought it must have been one of us, so I hid it.”

They then discovered the barrel store door wasn’t locked, once again opening up the whodunit.
Fans will have to continue waiting to find out who really did try and kill Cindy.
