EastEnders viewers were all questioning the casting of a teen bully on Monday night, after making an observation about how old Logan likely was.
Denzel Danes was left horrified as he was attacked by a group of teenagers in the latest episode, after taking on bully Logan earlier on. Newcomer Logan jumped in in the queue at a fast food shop, leaving Denzel annoyed.
As his girlfriend Amy Mitchell told him to leave it, Logan made a jibe about Amy's self-harming battle leaving her distraught. As Amy rushed out, Denzel was furious and later on he called Logan out in front of everyone.
Logan tried to threaten him only for some residents to get involved, but towards the end of the episode Logan took action. Still wearing his school uniform, Logan orchestrated an attack against Denzel down a dark alley.
As he screamed out, Logan and the others punched him in the stomach and pinned him against a wall. It took Avani Nandra-Hart threatening them with a metal pole to scare the group off.

EastEnders viewers were pretty confused over the latest episode of the BBC soap (BBC)But in this scene and the earlier scenes with Logan, fans were distracted from the drama. Viewers were baffled over how old Logan was meant to be, not convinced he was the same age as Denzel.
While some wondered if Logan was older and maybe in college, others believed the actor playing him, Liam Hatch, looked way older than the teen bully was meant to be. Some even thought he was 30 years old or older, not convinced he was a teenager at all.
Judging by the actor's Instagram, it would seem Logan actor Liam is around 28 years of age as a post from 10 years ago in 2014 saw him comment he had turned 18 years old. Confused fans raced to X over their confusion, with many questioning the BBC soap over the decision to seemingly not cast an actual teenager.
One fan posted: "Why does that Logan kid look at least 30yrs old?!" Another said: "Oh, God… Not 30 year old Logan," as a third added: "God is Logan like 25 or something." The comments kept coming too with one reading: "How old is Logan on Eastenders? Late 20s?" as another said: "Is it me or is Logan a grown man in a Walford High uniform …?"
