Some EastEnders fans think they’ve found out who’s dying this Christmas ahead of the celebratory murder plot and epic crime thriller.
The BBC soap made history with an episode in February when it featured a foretaste of a Christmas murder.
The shocking scenes featured Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) surrounding a dead body, but the identity was not known. The identity of the body and the killer were kept secret.
Viewers will have to wait another six months to see exactly what unfolds in the Christmas episode, with dramatic storylines for every woman and man in their lives that explain the drama of the night.
But on Monday night’s show, Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) attempted to kill Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) after growing angry over his mother’s affair.

Oh no: viewers still have to wait six months to see exactly what transpires in the Christmas episode
The Panesars gathered for Father’s Day when Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) did her best to keep up with Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry).
However, Eva confronted her and asked her to stop lying.
Vinny was furious watching this unfold and lashed out at his mother before threatening Eva.
He then went to Taylor’s cars, where he manipulated the brakes of the car Eve was soon to be driving.
Vinny’s recent behavior has raised suspicions among many EastEnders fans that things may not be going well for him.
One viewer asked, ‘So it’s Vinny for Christmas?’ #Eastenders.’
Another tweeted: “I really wanted Nish to die for Christmas but now I’m hoping it’s Vinny #EastEnders.”
“I guess it’s Vinny who’s going to be the winner at Christmas.” He often wears cufflinks and suits. #Eastenders,” noted another.

A fourth shared: “Starting to hope that on Christmas Day Vinny is lying on the victim’s floor.” How he stands up for his abusive father who is undermining his views and opinions. #EastEnders.’
Another fan previously said: “Great scenes between @BalvinderSopal and @jalotashiv (Suki and Vinny Panesar) in today’s #EastEnders – I don’t want to spoil any spoilers but this feels like a massive turning point for Vinny (and I right now).” I hope he makes it to 2024 given what Christmas 2023 promises.’
Soap boss Chris Clenshaw previously revealed that plans for the epic crime thriller have been in the pipeline for more than a year as he shared glimpses of what’s to come from the six despised women in the spotlight.
For Linda, he warned that “you knight in shining armor may not be who you think you are.”
As for Suki, she continues to struggle with her marriage and sexuality, “Over the course of the year, Suki will unearth truths and test her relationships, but ultimately her biggest secret may push her to the limit.”
While Kathy loves Rocky (Brian Conley), “we know Rocky has a past, so that’s going to catch up with him.”
As for Stacey, “she’s doing something she’s never done before to protect her family and her unborn grandchild.”
With Denise in a love triangle with husband Jack (Scott Maslen) and Ravi (Aaron Thiara), viewers can expect “explosive action as Jack finds out what’s going on.”
From the flashforward, we know that Sharon is getting married for Christmas, but since the gym owner is upset that Keanu (Danny Walters) is on a rampage with Sam (Kim Medcalf), viewers should expect “lots of twists and turns and heartache along the way.” regard”. ‘
While the scene has raised more questions than answers for many, one sad fact is evident: Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) will have died of an inoperable brain tumor.
The clip features a photo of Lola at the bar next to landlady Linda, in a traditional homage to dead characters on the show.
It is also clear that a wedding will take place, at which Sharon can be seen bending over the corpse in a wedding dress.
However, that doesn’t mean that Sharon is the one who will tie the knot.
With Sharon’s love life currently in shambles, it seems surprising that she would have within ten months to sort this out and start planning a wedding.
Soap boss Chris didn’t specifically state that Sharon is getting married, saying, “Sharon is wearing a wedding dress for Christmas so expect plenty of twists and turns and plenty of heartbreak along the way.”
Some fans suspect she ruined Phil (Steve McFadden) and Kat’s (Jessie Wallace) wedding, while others suspect Sharon has reignited her romance with Phil and Kat is no longer in the picture.
So far, viewers’ hot favorites for the series are Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) or Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), who fans believe will return to the soap. Their names were trending on Twitter shortly after the flashforward scene aired.
Nish seems like the most obvious choice considering he’s made multiple enemies on The Square and has been a villain since his show debut.
Dean was constantly mentioned leading up to the flashforward, which piqued fans’ interest, while others noted that the camera lingered on Denise’s necklace that started with the letter ‘D’ – possibly pointing to the murder victim and not the killer.

Another name that came into play was Keanu as the music was the same used when fans believed he was murdered in the 2019 Christmas special.
Several fans believe Phil’s card was flagged because the murder victim was spotted wearing a pair of cufflinks, which he had worn before.
However, it’s not inconceivable that Phil could have lent them to another star, or that they simply bought their own pair.
All women have come under suspicion after the ominous flashforward.
A popular theory is that Stacey – who is covered in blood – killed the victim with a bottle of champagne, which was then taken from her by Denise because they were standing next to each other.
Others believe Sharon is the perpetrator as her wedding dress was already spattered with blood before she knelt over the victim.
Denise was questioned because she wears a green dress and the murder victim is also green.
While the actresses were told of Chris’ plans for a flashforward back in November, they weren’t told all about the top-secret storyline.
Balvinder said of her theory, “There are so many people.” I think it could have been any of the six women involved, they all have a motive.
“I’d like to call it Suki because I think it gives her a particularly dangerous element, but who knows?”
“When it comes to who meets their fate, it could literally be anyone. I think it could be Keanu, it could be Rocky, it could be Nish, it could be someone who hasn’t been on the show for a long time, it could be someone who’s new on the show.
Who do the bookmakers think is the killer?
Ladbrokes put Stacey as the favorite in the bet at 3/1 on the killer.
Stacey Slater – 3/1
Denise Fox—7/2
Linda Carter – 7/2
Sharon Watts – 4/1
Suki Panesar – 5/1
Kathy Beale – 5/1
“And I think maybe all women are involved.”
Diane said, “I don’t know why, but I think I am.” I’m really scared it’s me, so I might have to make some plans because I might go under.
“We call ourselves ‘The Six’ and with all of us we’re all heading towards a very clear point when it comes to anger and issues with the men in our lives, so there’s a lot going on for all of us, so it literally could be.’ Be one of us.’
Letitia admitted: “I wish I had an idea, but right now I think it’s still so open – and I’ve played through quite a few of these storylines and rarely get them right – so I’m sure I’ll be in the next one Year…’ I’ll change my mind a thousand times, but at this point it’s just conjecture!’
Kellie’s theory was, “In my opinion, I didn’t do it.” But that’s just based on nothing other than what I thought or felt when we were shooting it.”
On Tuesday’s episode of This Morning, she added that the cast had a body double during the portrayal of the victim so as not to give anything away.
She explained, “I think there’s going to be a lot of red herrings and it’s going to shift and change throughout the year.”
“I feel like I had a very strong feeling, or rather an idea, that the victim was going to have a really big role on this show, and I changed my mind slightly, and I think it could be someone who.” isn’t on the show yet? A character we haven’t met yet.
“If I had to put money into it, I don’t think it’s me, and I don’t think it’s Di.” [Diane Parish]. I also think it might be a group thing where the women are all protective of each other, but who knows, maybe they’re protecting Linda!’

Long wait: Chris explained how the team came up with the flash forward scene storyline: “We were looking for a vehicle for the Six (women) – Linda, Suki, Kathy, Stacey, Denise and Sharon – to go around to get together.”
Lacey confessed, “When we first met about the storyline, I immediately thought it was someone who hadn’t been to Albert Square before.”
“I don’t think it’s a character that’s actually on the show right now, but the more time has passed and the more the six of us have chatted, the more it feels like an accidental death to me.”
“I don’t think it was done on purpose, and I think it’s more a group effort than an individual, and if it’s an individual then I think all the women step up for them.”
Gillian mused: “The six of us get together and think ‘Who do you think it could be’, ‘Who do you think it could be’, ‘What do you think is going to happen’ and we racked our brains and have gone through every single male member of the cast but we still can’t find an answer!’
