Eight Huge EastEnders Clues That Hinted at the Christmas Day Killer 1. Linda's Opening of the Flash Forward When Linda tolled the bell and touched Keanu, it may have been a clue pointing to his death at her hands. The phrase "for whom the bell tolls" has been a slogan for this storyline, symbolizing the death of a man. 2. Linda's Trailer for The Six Linda's trailer hinted that the murder did not take place in the bar as viewers thought. She was seen cleaning up blood upstairs in the Queen Vic, but the murder took place outside of the bar. 3. Keanu's Stag Do A banner at Keanu's stag do with the message "Hello wife, goodbye life" served as foreshadowing for his unexpected death on Christmas Day. 4. The Fire and Song 'Stay Another Day' by East 17 In a flash forward scene, the song 'Stay Another Day' by East 17 played in the background. This same song was playing in the 2019 Christmas episode when Martin "killed" Keanu. The fire at the Vic also mirrored the fire at the allotment when Martin burned his clothes.[TAG1] 5. Linda's Drinking Linda's history of drinking and the lyrics of the song 'What Kind of Man' by Florence and The Machine should have pointed to her being the killer. The lyrics include the line "I'd already had a sip, so I reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it." 6. Linda's "Wall of Friends" Kathy Beale told Linda she would have a wall of friends around her to protect her if Dean ever returned. This turned out to be a wall of friends helping Linda hide the body and urging her not to turn herself in. 7. Linda's Dead Roses When Linda received roses from George Knight, they died in her hands. This foreshadowed the dark turn her character would take. 8. The Secrecy Actor Danny Walters, who played Keanu, kept details about his character's fate under wraps, hinting at the surprises to come.[TAG2] Overall, these clues dropped by EastEnders gave viewers hints about the Christmas Day killer before the big reveal. From Linda's actions and trailers to foreshadowing in the show, the signs were there if you were paying attention.
