Who dies on EastEnders on Christmas Day? Cufflinks twist hints at two more victims

EastEnders star Brian Conley has finally spoken out after his character, Rocky Cotton, was arrested and said an emotional farewell in Friday's episode. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the 62 year old actor had decided to leave the popular BBC One soap, two years after joining in 2021.

EastEnders star Max Bowden has spoken out after news of his emotional exit from the BBC soap following four years playing fan favourite Ben Mitchell.

EastEnders star Danny Walters has been seen in public for the first time since his character Keanu Taylor was killed off. Keanu, who had been on the BBC soap since 2017, was murdered in a special Christmas day episode.The 30-year-old actor has now been spotted getting back to reality, as he was photographed in East London running errands. Danny, who played mechanic Keanu, was dressed causally and pictured collecting his clean clothes from a laundrette.

In one of the EastEnders longest running storylines, there were plenty of hints on who would be murdered. Almost a full year ago, in January 2023, fans were told a character would be murdered at Christmas time on the Square. Characters Suki Panesar, Stacey Slayer, Kathy Beale, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox, and Linda Carter, were all towering over the mystery body in The Queen Vic in the teaser clip.

EastEnders fans were left puzzled after a major plot hole was spotted following Keanu's shocking Christmas death. On Christmas Day, viewers watched as Linda Carter killed Keanu Taylor for trying to strangle Sharon Watts after she wouldn't let him see Albie. It came after Sharon called off the wedding having learnt that Keanu was a part of the kidnapping plot for Albie, reports The Mirror.

EastEnders star Scott Maslen, who plays the iconic Jack Branning in the BBC soap, took to Instagram to share some sweet moments from his Christmas, along with a rarely seen snap where he packed on the PDA with his DJ wife, Estelle Rubio. The couple, who exchanged vows in a gorgeous ceremony in 2008, looked happier than ever as they cuddled up for a kiss in front of a Christmas tree. Scott looked cosy in a beige knitted jumper, while he wife looked stylish in a white vest with silver detailing.

This Christmas, EastEnders fans were left devastated by the death of Keanu Taylor when he was revealed to be the Christmas murder victim at the very end of a long running whodunnit storyline. The BBC soap had been teasing the identity of the mystery dead body for months, after it was first revealed back in February that one of six Walford women, Denise Fox, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter, Sharon Watts, Stacey Slater and Suki Panesar, would be the killer behind the murder.

Fans of EastEnders tuned in last night (December 25) for the explosive Christmas Day episode where a murder was finally unveiled. Viewers of the BBC soap have been waiting 10 months to find out who was killed in the Queen Vic - and who the Christmas killer could be.

The TV ratings have been revealed for Christmas Day, with some unlikely candidates beating the most anticipated episode of EastEnders in years.

EastEnders fans are in fear of a shocking twist involving Dean Wicks, after the surprise murder of Keanu Taylor. On Christmas Day, viewers were on tenterhooks as the much-anticipated Christmas killer storyline played out. Back in February, a scene had shown Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Stacey Slater, Denise Fox and Sharon Watts standing over a dead body.The Christmas Day episode finally revealed that the ladies were gathered around Nish Panesar.

EastEnders viewers were left on the edge of their seats during the hour-long Christmas Day special, as the episode finally revealed who was the victim of the Queen Vic murder. Denise, Kathy, Linda, Sharon and Stacey found themselves in a tricky situation as they tried to protect Suki from her abusive husband, Nish.The intense showdown ended with Denise hitting Nish over the head with a glass bottle, leading viewers to think he would be the one to die in the highly-anticipated Christmas killer storyline. However, it was Keanu who met his end when Linda stabbed him with a knife, following Sharon's revelation that Albie is not his son and he won't see him again, leaving fans floored.

Kellie Bright issued a shocked three-word response when she was told her EastEnders character would be the mysterious Christmas Day killer.The actress, who plays pub landlady Linda Carter, learned Linda was Keanu's killer back in September, after a secret meeting with EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw. Kellie has told how she exclaimed: "Are you joking?" before adding: "Oh no. I don't mind being the murderer.

EastEnders fans were left in shock and "couldn't believe" what they were seeing as the BBC soap finally revealed the identity of the Christmas Day murder victim and the mystery killer, ending 10 months of speculation from viewers. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this year's special episode since the BBC soap aired a special flash forward episode back in February teasing a shock death with Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) gathered around a dead body at the Queen Vic.

Lacey Turner is one of EastEnders' most-loved actresses, having portrayed Stacey Slater since 2004 and tackled some huge storylines over the years. Lacey, 35, will once again take centre stage at Christmas on the BBC One soap this year, with Stacey being one of The Six and linked to the mystery murder on Christmas Day.There's a possibility she could even be the murderer, as it wouldn't be out of character for Stacey, who previously killed villainous Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb) on Christmas Day in 2008. Lacey's life away from Albert Square is worlds away from Stacey's, especially her love life.

Ten months have passed by and the patience of EastEnders fans will pay off tonight when the male character killed off will finally be revealed. Those who follow the BBC One soap have been waiting almost a year to find out who was the one laying lifeless on the floor of the Queen Vic on Christmas Day 2023.

EastEnders' Keanu Taylor's secret is about to be revealed in a Christmas wedding shocker, with fans on the edge of their seats as Keanu will finally be exposed during the festive nuptials. Recently, Phil Mitchell spilled the beans about Karen Taylor and her son Keanu's kidnap plot to a shocked Sharon Watts.This happened while she and Keanu were celebrating their upcoming wedding at the Queen Vic on Christmas Day. Karen was caught out for planning to kidnap Sharon's son Albie and even made a fake ransom note for £50,000., but Sharon still doesn't know that Keanu was also involved in the plan.

EastEnders' Jack Branning might be the unlucky one to meet his end this Christmas, after his recent actions placed him directly at odds with three members of The Six. In the final scene before the big Christmas Day episode, a huge clue may have confirmed Jack's fate after he crossed paths with three of the six Christmas murder suspects, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Suki Panesar.

After ten nail-biting months of speculation, EastEnders fans will finally learn which beloved character meets a sticky end this Christmas in the show’s explosive festive edition of the BBC soap, taking place on Christmas Day. With multiple names now in the frame to be the body spotted on the ground, fans have been quick to share their theories about the identity of the body - and who killed them - but with so much information to unpack over the past few months, it’s easy to forget or overlook some of the details and clues which have unfolded on screen.

Tuesday night's usual showing of EastEnders has been cancelled as BBC One's schedule was altered to make room for the Sports Personality of the Year awards. Disappointed fans of the soap may be happier to learn that there will be an extra episode on Friday to make up for the missing instalment.

As Christmas Day approaches, EastEnders fans have been left on tenterhooks waiting to see who will be killed at Christmas - and who the killer may be. Earlier this year a flash-forward saw Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) discover a dead male body in the Queen Vic.
