EastEnders ‘lets slip’ three characters are not Christmas killer after BBC soap trailer clue

Viewers of EastEnders believe that three characters will not be named as the culprit in the Christmas Day teaser for the BBC soap opera, before a vicious murder occurs.

Viewers of EastEnders are wondering if three individuals have been ruled out as the murderer on Christmas Day.

One of the six ladies is expected to become murderous on Christmas Day of the following week, while the major episode features a terrible conclusion for a male inhabitant. A flashforward clip from back in February revealed that The Queen Vic would be losing one unknown male character around Christmas.

At the crime scene are Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, and Sharon Watts. Sharon verifies that the body on the floor is really that of the mysterious man.

After months of speculation about clues, intentions, and potential motives, we now know that seven people could have been the victims: Phil Mitchell, Keanu Taylor, Dean Wicks, Nish Panesar, Ravi Gulati, Rocky Cotton, and Jack Branning. The killer and the victim are only known to those engaged in the tale, and the facts will remain hidden until Christmas Day.

However, fans now believe that the major plot teaser may reveal the identity of the murderer before the programme even airs. If they are correct, there could be a clear indication that three of the ladies are not the murderer.

A few viewers picked up on something very particular about the different sections featuring the women in the main overall trailer, which has to do with where they are all standing. Each woman appears separately in a different scene of The Vic in the teaser, but each scene contains hints.

However, some fans have noticed that while the other women are not standing out in the pub’s bar area, three or even two of the women are. Kathy is standing next to the kitchen serving hatch, beside the bar, while Denise and Sharon are at or near the bar.

Suki is outside the bar, and since she is positioned closest to the doors in the flashforward sequence, there is a chance that she happened to stroll into the murder scene. In the same way as Linda enters from above, she is seen in the upstairs kitchen of the trailer.

Lastly, during her segment in the trailer, Stacey seems to be in the bathroom of The Queen Vic. So, are fans on to something, and does this imply that Denise, Linda, or Sharon are the murderer?

On social media, a fan wrote: “Sharon, Denise and kind of Kathy being the only three of the six where the bar is located in their trailers maybe hints that it’s one of them (or all three?) that is the killer idk.” Someone else commented: “In the trailer, it looks as if Suki enters the scene from this entrance behind her- she appears to be in shock by who is on the floor, hence why we see her sitting down and Kathy glancing in her direction.”
