After getting into serious debt, the character (played by Richard Blackwood) chose the slippery path of becoming a police informant to save his family from being evicted.

In recent weeks, we’ve seen him supplying them with information about the New Year robbery he was involved in – grassing up Aidan Maguire and Phil Mitchell in the process.
Up until now, he’s been dealing with DI Franklin. But new DCI Alsworth has appeared on the scene – and soap fans smelt a rat.
The new officer insisted that Vincent would need to leave Albert Square ASAP if he wanted to keep his family safe from Phil and Aidan – sounds like sound advice, so far.
But fans think the DI is dodgy – as he appeared after Phil made a mystery phone call to an unknown person, saying: “I know I’m the last person you want to hear from but we’ve got a problem.”
Some presumed he was calling Aidan, while others even hoped he was calling Grant. But now some fans are convinced the new copper is bent – and working for the Irish villain.
Is he even a policeman?
One soap fan tweeted: “I suspect that last minute replacement ‘DI’ came from the same place as ‘Savana’ the estate agent. Vincent is about to become a resident of the same landfill housing Fatboy and Patrick’s son.”

Another tweeted: “Oh please. It is obvious this ‘policeman’ is something to do with Aidan. Vincent will get in a car and some hoodlum will turn around.”
A third agreed, writing: “This new copper isn’t a copper, he’s working for Aidan and they’ve got rid of the original one. That’s my theory.”
Vincent is being set up by a fake DI, it’s pretty blatant to me at this point #EastEnders

Aidan, that lady Savannah, now Phil Mitchell and a possible fake DI…. All these characters have made a fool out of Vincent in 2018, it’s unnecessary #EastEnders

Isn’t that new DI the same guy who turned up after the heist, the one that Ciara told that it was her van and that the robbery was staged? Vincent’s definitely walking into a trap. #eastenders

#Eastenders I suspect this is a big set up and the "cop" is a ringer. Vincent is being a fool.

Can this many eagle-eyed EastEnders fans be wrong?
What we DO know for sure if that Vincent leaves VERY soon in dramatic scenes – possibly even tonight.
But whether he leaves in a taxi or a box remains to be seen…
