Clue in the trailer
With Christmas just around the corner, EastEnders fans are eagerly trying to uncover the identity of the killer in this year's murder mystery. A recent trailer released by show bosses has sparked speculation among viewers, who believe they have found a crucial clue.
A murder mystery on the horizon
The upcoming murder mystery storyline will involve six iconic female characters from Walford. A macabre flash-forward scene earlier this year hinted at the impending crime, and since then, a series of trailers have provided additional hints for BBC One viewers to analyze.
Unraveling the mystery
Viewers have been analyzing scenes, clues, and online theories to piece together the puzzle. The latest trailer has prompted fans to speculate about which of the six characters – Suki Panesar, Linda Carter, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox, Kathy Beale, or Stacey Slater – could be the killer.
A haunting song
One observant viewer noticed a song playing on the jukebox in the recent trailer, which they recognized from a past episode. The song, "In the Bleak Midwinter," was previously played during a scene between Denise Fox and her sister Kim Fox in December 2020. This eerie connection has led fans to believe Denise may have a dark role to play in the murder mystery.
Potential motives
Denise has had encounters with two male characters – her husband Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati, Nish Panesar's son. Some viewers suspect Jack may be having an affair with Stacey Slater, while others believe Ravi could be involved with Denise, Sharon Watts, or Stacey Slater. These connections have fueled speculation that Denise may have reasons to harm both men, who are among the characters rumored to meet their demise on Christmas.
Kathy Beale as a suspect
Another detail from the jukebox has caught the attention of fans. Gillian Taylforth, who plays Kathy Beale, appeared in a behind-the-scenes episode where the words "Jukebox Gilly" were shown on her dressing room door. Soap watchers are now considering the possibility that Kathy may be involved in the murder or team up with Denise to cause chaos.
The truth revealed
As the suspense builds, EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Will the theories prove correct, or will the truth be even more shocking than expected?
