Fans left disappointed as BBC shuns early streaming for big Christmas reveal
In a surprising move, the BBC has announced that the highly anticipated Christmas Day episode of EastEnders will not be available to view on BBC iPlayer before its television airing. This means that fans will have to tune in live at 9:45pm on Christmas Day to discover the truth behind the storyline. However, there is a silver lining as the follow-up episode will be released early on Boxing Day, allowing fans to catch the dramatic aftermath less than twelve hours later.
The Six: Speculation and suspense reach fever pitch
EastEnders viewers have been on the edge of their seats for the past ten months as the show built up to the dramatic climax of The Six storyline. In December, the soap dedicated an entire episode to each member and story arc of The Six, leaving fans desperate to know who will be responsible for the downfall of an unlucky character. Speculation has been rife, with various faces in the frame for a grisly end. However, a recent clue has led many to believe that Nish Panesar will meet his demise at the hands of his wife Suki and Stacey in a joint effort.
Chilling clues and revenge plots
In a telling moment, Stacey angrily expressed her desire to hurt Nish the most, hinting at a potential murder plot. This came after the pair discovered Nish's knowledge of Suki's secret affair. Fans have taken to social media to discuss their theories, with one user suggesting that "NISH IS ABOUT TO GO BYE BYE." With tensions running high and revenge plots in the air, the Christmas Day episode is set to be a nail-biting watch.
A twist of cufflinks
In addition to the suspense surrounding The Six storyline, EastEnders recently revealed an unexpected twist involving cufflinks. Nearly every resident of Walford was shown to have the opportunity to own a pair of the same cufflinks seen on the dead body in the Christmas episode. This revelation has left fans intrigued and eager to see how this detail ties into the overall plot.
Overall, EastEnders fans will have to wait until Christmas Day to watch the highly anticipated episode, but the promise of an early release on Boxing Day will help ease the anticipation. The Six storyline has captivated audiences for months, and with the recent clues and twists, the Christmas episode is bound to be an explosive one.
