However, the 11-year-old eventually confessed, and was jailed for three years.

He returned to Walford in 2019 after serving his sentence, but had to work hard to convince the other villagers that he had changed his ways.

Bobby managed to reintegrate into the community for a while before Lucy’s mum Cindy Beale returned to EastEnders in 2023.

This sent him into a spiral as all the guilt he felt for taking a life as a child was dredged up again.

In a recent interview the actress playing Cindy, Michelle Collins, hinted that her character is set to be involved in a dark storyline.

Now fans are convinced that Cindy is going to murder Bobby to get revenge for her daughter’s death.

Another agreed: “And Bobby is leaving. let’s put two and two together.”

When the star decided to leave EastEnders, a source told the Sun: “Clay’s a talented actor and he’s ambitious.

“He was never going to stay in EastEnders forever. He’s loved playing Bobby but he became an actor to play all kinds of roles and he wants to do that.

“The door is being left open but for now it’s a definite goodbye.”
