EastEnders newcomer Aaron Monroe has shown his dark side with literal blood on his hands.

Former Hollyoaks star Charlie Wernham arrived in Walford last week as Harvey Monroe's son, quickly making a bad impression by dismissing the racism allegation against his dad and telling off sister Dana.

Tuesday's episode saw Aaron trying to win over Tiffany after leaving her at the club the night before, but this time Liam was there to criticise Aaron for mugging her off.

Aaron acted conciliatorily, then backed off when Tiffany made it clear she "doesn't give second chances". The following day, Aaron tried to convince his dad to rile up Kat to give him his job back.

There were immediate red flags when Aaron mentioned people would get behind Harvey if he stood up against "the PC rubbish", referring to Harvey's racist comment to Ash.

Tiffany later had second thoughts about rejecting Aaron after spotting Keegan defending Dotty from a police inspection at the club, so she took Aaron up on the offer of a date at the chippy.

While Aaron seemed to be winning Tiff over, he soon got a mysterious text that he put down to "work" and made a hasty exit from the date before it even really got going.

"I really like you, Tiff. I'm going to make this up to you. I promise," he insisted.

Later, Aaron was shown arriving home, and while he kept his father Harvey distracted talking about his date with Tiffany, he texted an unknown number "it's done".

In shocking scenes, he then discreetly walked over to the sink to wash blood off of his hands. What has he done?
