EastEnders fans have been left concerned after realising that a beloved star has been missing from Albert Square since February.
In recent scenes, Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) introduced her chickens to Walford, and it is safe to say that they have been quite a nuisance for the neighbours.
The arrival of the new pets got some fans thinking, and they realised that one furry friend has been missing for quite some time…
Bewildered viewers have now taken to social media to question the whereabouts of Tyson the dog, and they’ve been left fearing the worst.
Tyson, played by canine actor Spud, first appeared on the Square in June 2023 as Anna Knight’s (Molly Rainford) beloved pet chihuahua.
His last appearance on screen was on Christmas Day 2024, when the Knights were preparing for a busy evening in the Queen Vic.
The episode itself saw Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) antics exposed to everyone, as a recording of her confessing that she loved George Knight (Colin Salmon) and had slept with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) was played over the sound system.
Since that dramatic day, the Vic has suffered an even bigger catastrophe, with Cindy at the heart of the problem once again.
After it was revealed that Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) had attacked her on Christmas Day and left her for dead, Cindy pushed Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in front of Reiss Colwell’s speeding car, causing him to veer off the road and straight into the pub.
The resulting crash caused carnage in the iconic boozer, with the whole place exploding and collapsing, with Reiss and Martin Fowler losing their lives in the process.
While the damage was repaired, the Knights and Carters moved out of the pub, and have since sold up and permanently relocated elsewhere.
However, during all of this unrest, Tyson has been nowhere to be seen!
‘I’ve just remembered, who the hell has got Tyson the dog? Gina hasn’t, Anna’s in Spain and George is sleeping on couches. This dog has just been forgotten about,’ Twitter/X user @Kezarus1 wrote in June, and two months on, fans are still wondering the same thing.
User @realseanslater wrote: ‘Why are we getting new pets on the square when we haven’t seen tyson since last year. Did he burn to ash in the anniversary fire? I fear we’ll never know. And what about rocky’s parrot?’
They aren’t the only fan worried about Tyson’s wellbeing, with @daisyreenie replying: ‘I really hope tyson didn’t die in the fire’.
‘I really miss Tyson tbh,’ @LauraM01234 added.
With actress Molly Rainford set to leave her role as Anna Knight, could she be set to move away from Walford and take Tyson with her? Or will fans’ worst fears be realised?
Will we ever see Tyson the dog again?
