February 23, 2020 - 20:51 GMT Diane Shipley EastEnders boss Kate Oates has revealed why the soap killed off Dennis Mitchell in a press screening where the pivotal episode was aired. In a shock twist, the character drowned after the boat he was on flooded with water. He was with Ian Beale at the time, who had locked him in a room to confront the young man about having his son Bobby attacked.

That is the main thing that comes out of the death we are seeing. It is where it goes, it’s the people who are left behind and the story that it generates. It is very well thought out. There is something almost Greek about this particular person as it could be argued that it’s been set up for quite some time.
She said:"We discussed it in-depth and actually had a lot of arguments about it. The conference room is a vibrant place. We discussed lots of different options, but we knew in our hearts that this was the story that would really power us through months and months and months of future stories which we are really excited about."On Friday night, Ian told his mum Kathy that he had tried to save Dennis, but the clearly guilt-ridden dad-of-five cried at the realisation of what he had done.
