EastEnders viewers had lots of questions following last night's episode...

EastEnders fans were left in hysterics after Mick Carter was kidnapped, bundled into the back of a van and taken to... the ARCHES.

Yup. Talk about an anti-climax.

On Tuesday night's episode, viewers (and Linda Carter) watched on while Aidan McGuire's men kidnapped Mick to find out what's happened to the heist money.

Unbeknownst to them Mick doesn't actually have the cash, he only managed to save the Queen Vic because Callum 'Halfway' Highway gave Whitney Dean a diamond ring (from the heist) and it ended up being worth £220,000.

After Aidan became suspicious and cornered Johnny Carter, he decided to take matters into his own hands to find out what happened to all that cash.

In Thursday night's episode, viewers discovered where Mick was taken, after being kidnapped, and it was to the Arches - literally right round the corner from the Vic.

EastEnders fans found the storyline hilarious, with one person tweeting: "Lol they kidnapped Mick & took him to the Arches? Bit anticlimactic. 😂 @bbceastenders #Eastenders"

Someone else said: "What was the point in kidnapping Mick to take him literally like 2 minutes down the road? Could have just asked to meet at the arches #Eastenders"

A third wrote: "#Eastenders this storyline gets more ridiculous - Mick attacked, thrown in a rented van, driven 100 metres and tied up in the Arches"

Another commented: "So they’ve kidnapped Mick, and taken him to the arches, at the end of the street 😂 who writes this shit 😂 #fail #EastEnders"

One more added: "Could all those muppets not come up with an excuse to invite Mick to the Arches instead of the suspicious daylight kidnapping? #EastEnders"

Eek!
