EASTENDERS viewers were left with questions over Monday’s car kidnapping scene as they pointed out that Frankie would have run out of oxygen.
Yesterday’s tense episode of EastEnders didn’t quite hit the mark as fans spotted an error in the kidnapping plot.
She was locked in the car boot initially in a revengefully move by her sister Nancy for putting a red garment in with her white laundry – some viewers alone might have thought that was a bit harsh.
Frankie (Rose Ayling-Ellis) wakes up in the car’s trunk as it speeds off – unaware it was stolen by Liam and driven to an abandoned car park.
As the episode continues, Nancy reservedly tells Mick what she did to her sister, and this leads to a full-on search and rescue attempt to find the trapped victim.
Cutaway shots show Frankie banging on the inside of the boot as she frantically tries to escape or at least bring attention to her dire situation.
Fans quick off the mark realised that Frankie would have run out of oxygen while confined in this tight air sealed space before being found.
With Liam looking to get his hands on more motors after Janine’s (Charlie Brooks) dodgy car lot antics proved successful, he had no issues firing up the exhaust and driving around Walford like a scene from the Fast and the Furious.
Watching it all unfold, one fan taking to Twitter said: “How ain’t she run outta oxygen yet!!??”
Other viewers joined in as they were left puzzled: “Has Frankie been in that car boot overnight? I hope she’s got a strong bladder.”
Much to fans delight, Frankie was eventually rescued from her automobile tomb and admitted to her father Mick that she thought she was “going to die.”
Theories are now flying around as fans believe Frankie’s trauma will lead to future storylines and drama.
“#EastEnders new storyline will be Frankie affected by dark spaces etc… I bet her mum had her locked up in cupboards when she was little,” a speculating fan wrote.
The sister’s volatile relationship already has viewers talking: “Nancy was more upset that she got in trouble for it. I honestly think she doesn’t care about how Frankie feels. She only cares that Mick is mad at her.#EastEnders.”
This all happened amidst another Albert Square scandal, where Dennis Rickman was revealed as baby Alyssa’s dad.
Alyssa was left several week’s ago on Sharon’s doorstep with a note hinting that someone in the flat was her father.
