However, viewers were astounded that the residents didn't question why Stephen would want the factory job if he is a successful businessman and millionaire.

Fans also label Carla as "sloppy" for her rash hiring.

Taking to Twitter, one said: "Do they not think it’s weird that millionaire businessman Stephen is now the factory dogsbody?"

Another wrote: "No interview, no references, yet Steven's ok to start the job, and how is it ok for Sally to show him all the computer system? Carla is a very sloppy manager…"

A third penned: "Would Carla really be that stupid and leave Stephen in charge of the factory, what’s happened to her?"

Some viewers think Stephen will swindle Carla after accessing the accounts, or he might murder again with Carla being the next victim.

One conspired: "Could Stephen kill Carla? I wouldn't put it past him."

Another commented: "If Stephen gets access to the underworld accounts, he’ll be ripping them off in no time."
