EastEnders New Year hour-long special which focused on Aidan’s heist involving Vincent, Phil, Keanu and Mick left viewers with A LOT of questions.
Has Mick been shot? Who was the shooter he recognised? Why was the robbery carried out in broad daylight in front of numerous witnesses?
One of the most pressing questions many fans had was why wasn’t Aidan, the mastermind behind the plan, wearing a mask to disguise himself like the others?
They all wore balaclavas after refusing to wear comical masks of political leaders but Aidan’s face remained exposed throughout the botched heist outside The Archers.
Now some fans think they know why.
They’ve speculated that it’s all another part of Max Branning’s revenge plan and he cooked it up with Aidan during his time in prison.
One wrote: “Max prob met Aiden in prison & between them to get revenge on Phil & prob Mick as he was Ian’s mate they set up robbery to steal a safe from Wilmot Brown’s house. Prob all the men in van are in on it hence no mask for Aiden????”
