EastEnders fans have been left suspicious of newcomer Roger Peel.
The dodgy divorce lawyer made a debut earlier this week and has been working with Nish Panesar to scam Kat Slater. However, Nish didn't realise that Kat rumbled he was using her and she secretly sought out information from Nish's ex Suki Panesar on Monday.
On Tuesday's BBC iPlayer episode, which will air on Thursday due to the FA Cup, Kat continued to play Nish, who was unaware she knew all about his true motivations to take her and her estranged husband Phil Mitchell's money. Meanwhile, Suki tried to warn Kat that Nish was dangerous and she should steer clear but Kat ignored her pleas.
Later, Kat met with dodgy divorce lawyer Roger as she seduced him in front of the CCTV camera. After capturing incriminating footage, Kat and Suki blackmailed Roger for dirt on Nish. However, the duo didn't realise that Priya was secretly listening as she informed Nish.

As the two characters had an awkward chat, Kat received a panicked call from Suki telling her that Nish knows everything.

Kat then had to fend off an attack from Nish and managed to escape, where she ran to Stacey, Eve and Suki, who all protected her. The foursome then warned Nish off with Kat and Stacey slinging insults at him, which left Nish embarrassed as he headed back inside. In retaliation, Nish decided to give DC Whisson a call regarding the events of Christmas, where he lied and said Stacey attacked him.
With Roger being a prominent character this week on the BBC One soap, many soap fans will be wondering where they have seen the actor on TV before. Roger is played by actor Ben Jones, who has a slew of TV credits to his name.
The actor is best known for Doctors, where he starred as Dr. Greg Robinson from 2003 until 2007. Other TV appearances include Spooks, My Family, Holby City and Casualty - to name a few.
