EastEnders: Detective Craig Ingram kisses teenager Amy Mitchell

In the BBC soap opera EastEnders, detective Craig Ingram has kissed 17-year-old Amy Mitchell, a development that has drawn significant viewer backlash. The storyline follows Craig's investigation into an attack on Joel Marshall, during which he crossed professional boundaries with Amy.

After Amy confessed her involvement in the assault to Craig, he chose not to report her to his superiors. Instead, he positioned himself as a confidant, despite being suspended from his position for gross misconduct involving inappropriate relationships with a female officer. The tension escalated when Craig encouraged Amy to dress older to avoid suspicion and subsequently invited her out for drinks, leading to the kiss.
