EastEnders fans 'rumble' Christmas Day killer after tense Denise and Jack scene

EastEnders viewers think they know which character will be the Christmas Day killer in a week's time on the BBC soap.

Viewers are ready and waiting to find out who dies this Christmas and who turns killer, months on from the storyline being revealed in a flashforward clip. Back in February, we found out that one mystery male character will be killed off at The Queen Vic at Christmas.

One of six female characters are tipped to be the killer, with Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Sharon Watts all at the scene of the crime. Sharon walks over to the mystery body on the floor and confirms he is dead.

Clues, motives and possible victims have been revealed since the clip aired, and we now have seven possible victims including Phil Mitchell, Keanu Taylor, Dean Wicks, Nish Panesar, Ravi Gulati, Rocky Cotton and Jack Branning. With just one week to go until the big event, fans are seeing some final clues and hints as to what happens.

The truth is being kept under wraps until Christmas Day, with only those involved in the storyline knowing the killer and the victim. On Monday night, we saw a potential killer emerge as well as a possible victim and motive.

In fact, some fans though it could be narrowed down to two women who could end up being the killer. While there were scenes involving villain Nish that could seal his fate and see Suki or Stacey murder him next week, some fans are convinced it won't be him who dies.

Instead, viewers think it could be Jack - and they are willing to bet Denise could kill him after the latest episode saw her make a discovery. Denise was stunned amid her rocky marriage as Jack told her he had slept with someone else.

While she struggled to forgive him, for the sake of the family she was willing to try. But as the episode came to a close, she caught Jack handing the necklace she had found at the house back to its owner, after Denise realised it had to belong to the woman he cheated with.

When she looked out the window and saw him with Stacey, she put two and two together and realised Stacey had to be the mystery woman. This links two members of The Six to Jack, a possible victim, and now fans think one of them, probably Denise, will kill him.

One viewer said on X: "Denise was kinda giving Christmas killer in tonight’s episode idk," as another said: "After tonights ep stacey and denise could both end up killing jack." A third wrote: "I'm telling you guys, the blood on Stacey's hands is from Denise attacking her with the bottle (or Denise attacking Jack with the bottle, and Stacey trying to stop her)."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , and .
