EastEnders' Christmas murder storyline has had fans gripped throughout most of 2023, with the soap first teasing the plot twist back in February in a shock flashforward episode. Fans have been eagerly searching for clues and hints ever since, with it having been confirmed that one Walford man will lose his life at Christmas in the iconic Queen Victoria pub.
The storyline sees six of Albert Square's iconic matriarchs team up, but it's not yet been revealed what exactly draws them to one another.
However, links between the six characters have started to be unveiled over recent weeks. Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) make up 'The Six', as they are now known.
The actresses, along with EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw, have opened up about the storyline, having shown OK! and other press a redacted version of the Christmas Day episode in a sneak preview. Executive producer Chris, 37, revealed that the Christmas storyline has been in the works since 2022, and the show has gone to great lengths to ensure all details of the plot remain entirely secret until the episodes air.
"It's to ensure that the storyline remains a secret right up until it airs, as well as kind of giving you the opportunity to watch for yourselves on Christmas Day without knowing the outcome," he told OK! and other press. Chris said he thinks it's "incredibly rare" for things to be kept a secret until they air nowadays, and hinted that there's so much more to come for The Six before Christmas Day.
