Louise Mitchell (played by Tilly Keeper) found herself caught up in her father, Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden), mess when she was kidnapped by hitman Midge in EastEnders last Friday.
The youngster was bundled into the ruthless drug dealer's vehicle and taken to an old container yard, where she was tossed in an empty vessel.
Midge tied up and gagged Louise, as she desperately screamed for help and when she would not stay silent he threatened her in Monday’s (April 22) instalment of the BBC drama series.
To get her to co-operate the gangster held a bottle of clear liquid close to her and said: “I don't enjoy frightening young girls but I do what I'm told and so should you.
“Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. I squirt this bottle in your face and you ain’t going to be a pretty girl no more and it would be a shame to spoil that.”
He then went on to reveal his intentions to sell her into the sex trade, explaining she would be taken to Odessa in Ukraine.
“Either way you are staying in this box until you get to Odessa,” he added.
The spine-chilling threat sparked concern among soap watchers with many branding the scene inappropriate, considering it was shown before the watershed.
