The Shocking Christmas Day Incident
The lives of six women in EastEnders - Stacey, Kathy, Linda, Suki, Denise, and Sharon - were forever changed on Christmas Day. Denise attacked Nish Panesar, while Linda stabbed Keanu Taylor to death.
Struggling to Keep the Secret
In the aftermath, the women find themselves grappling with a dark secret. They decide to move Keanu's body to Kathy's cafe, which has been left abandoned and damaged after a recent fire.
A Race Against Time
However, their efforts to conceal the truth become more challenging when builders arrive at the cafe to begin its restoration. Suki, Linda, Stacey, and Kathy are horrified by the unexpected turn of events.
Keeping Up Appearances
Linda, who has just returned to the scene, struggles to keep her composure and begins to unravel in public. Stacey offers her support, reminding her that their futures depend on staying sober and keeping their secret intact.
A Desperate Plan
Suki manages to temporarily stall the builders, but time is running out. The women need to move Keanu's body quickly before they are discovered.
An Unexpected Twist
Just as they discuss their next move, Suki receives a phone call that could change everything.
Rocky's Suspicion
Kathy's estranged husband, Rocky Cotton, starts to suspect that something is seriously wrong. He recalls seeing Sharon outside the cafe in a wedding dress, coinciding with the disposal of Keanu's body.
"I've got this gut feeling that you're in trouble," Rocky confesses, referencing Kathy's claims of being held at knifepoint by Keanu.
Rocky warns the women about the potential consequences, saying, "I don't want to see you implicated in a crime, especially one that involves attempted murder."
What Lies Ahead?
As tensions rise and the pressure mounts, the women of EastEnders must navigate a treacherous path to protect their deadly secret.
