After EastEnders aired a very special flashforward scene in February that gave viewers a sneak peek at a whodunit mystery, BBC viewers have been theorizing all year about a wide range of theories.
After spotting a crucial Christmas Day clue that will reveal the identity of the murderer, EastEnders fans have given their opinion.
A scene from an episode in February took viewers back in time to Christmas 2023 and gave them a shocking tease that someone was going to be killed.
The character of Kathy Beale, played by Gillian Taylforth, is another huge clue that some keen viewers have discovered.
A glimpse of a future scene depicts a dead body in a pub with Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Linda Carter (Kelly Bright), Kathy Beale, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), and Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).
In the most recent episode, Kathy is wearing a white blouse with a purple print, but it also features her wearing a purple dress.
Fans now believe that this could be a hint that Kathy is potentially the killer, or that someone close to her could be dying.
Kathy also said: “There’ll be murders before Christmas,” which could be hinting that Kathy could murder someone or a member of the Beale family is going to die.
One person who flocked to X, formally known as Twitter, said: “That line from Kathy. Possible foreshadowing?? #EastEnders.”
A second chimed in: “There would be murders at Christmas you say Kathy #EastEnders.”
A third typed: “Ooo ‘they’ll be murders before Xmas’… #Kathy #TheSix #EastEnders.” A fourth also said: “They’ll be murders before Xmas” Kathy foreshadowing the future.” (sic)
Meanwhile, the major fan theory that everyone is talking about is who Sharon will be marrying. In the flash-forward scene, the character is seen standing over a dead body whilst wearing a white wedding dress.
In the scene, Sharon tests the pulse of the murder victim before announcing: “He’s dead.”
Sharon was originally set to walk down the aisle with Keanu Taylor (played by Danny Walters), however the pair have called off their engagement over her involvement in helping Lisa Fowler flee the country.
However, the duo have been on and off for years, so there is every possibility that Keanu could be the groom on Christmas Day.
EastEnders fans will have to wait until Christmas Day 2023 to find out the identity of the murder victim.
