BBC EastEnders fans beg character to 'stop' as they cringe over 'weird' nickname

‘The Six’ are set to be rumbled for their crimes as Denise Fox (Diane Parish) continues to fall apart over Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder - and to make matters worse, her husband, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) is drawn back to Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) in EastEnders. With her trauma still rife, Denise forgets her own birthday so when her family excitedly celebrates, she’s so overwhelmed that she rushes off. Jack tries to find out what’s wrong but Denise can’t open up to him.

EastEnders fans believe they may have rumbled a huge twist on the horizon after Gina Knight and Dean Wicks’ secret romance was exposed during this week’s first visit to Walford. As regular viewers will know, Gina has been secretly dating rapist Dean Wicks - who brutally assaulted Linda Carter during his previous stint in Albert Square - but has kept things out of the spotlight so as not to upset her family, in particular her father George Knight who happens to be dating Linda’s mum Elaine! Given Dean’s history, much of Walford has been less than impressed with his return to the Square, but despite knowing the allegations against him, Gina declared that she believes him over Linda, in scenes that fans are convinced may be part of a bigger plot to expose his ways.

EastEnders' Denise Fox might be leaving the show soon, as fans have spotted a clue that could signal her exit. Denise recently left some important evidence at the place where Keanu Taylor's body was buried, which could lead the police straight to her. The Six, including Denise, Kathy Beale, Sharon Watts, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater and Linda Carter, were seen hiding Keanu's body under the floor of the burnt-out café.

Hot on the heels of this year’s explosive Christmas whodunnit storyline, EastEnders fans have high hopes for the soap’s 40th anniversary next year after several eagled eyed fans claim to have spotted proof that two characters will be returning from the dead. According to fans, Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell could be making a come back, despite having being killed off on screen! Of course, death has never been a barrier to other characters from returning, with Dirty Den Watts, Kathy Beale and Cindy Beale all having returned to the soap after previously being killed on the soap.

EastEnders fans have labelled the recent storyline surrounding the coverup of Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder "peak television" and "comedic gold." The soap's dramatic Christmas episode saw Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stab Keanu as he attempted to strangle Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) in the Queen Vic. In subsequent episodes, Linda, Sharon, Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) teamed up to hide the body in the cafe and cover up the crime.
