Mel’s character played by Tamzin Outhwaite, burst through the doors of the Arches in Tuesday’s episode, as Ben was planning to up and leave with the money he stole.
Whilst Ben doesn’t know who Mel is, (despite being his brother, Ian’s ex wife) Mel knows he has something to do with the missing money, and is determined to get it out of him.
Fans have sussed out that Mel is working on behalf of Ciara Maguire, who is the ex of Aidan and the man behind the heist that went terribly wrong.
Mel’s return will reportedly trigger Ben’s final scenes according to pictures which were released last year which showed the pair filming climactic scenes on location.
Meanwhile, fans have been speculating over whether Ben, played by Harry Reid, will end up dead once the truth about the money gets out.
