EastEnders viewers are questioning whether three characters have been ruled out as the Christmas Day killer.
Next week, on Christmas Day, one of six women are tipped to turn killer as one male resident meets a grisly end in the big episode. Back in February, we found out in a flashforwad clip that one mystery male character will be killed off at The Queen Vic at Christmas.
Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Sharon Watts are 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 motives have been teased for months, and we now have seven possible victims including Phil Mitchell, Keanu Taylor, Dean Wicks, Nish Panesar, Ravi Gulati, Rocky Cotton and Jack Branning. The truth is being kept under wraps until Christmas Day, with only those involved in the storyline knowing the killer and the victim.
But now, fans think the trailer for the big storyline could possibly give a major hint as to who the killer is ahead of the episode airing. If they are right, a big clue may let slip that three of the women are ruled out as being the murderer.

EastEnders viewers think the Christmas Day trailer for the BBC soap has given away three characters will not be identified as the killer (BBC)Some viewers noticed something quite specific about the women's individual scenes in the main overall trailer, linked to where they are all stood. In the teaser we see each woman separately in a different part of The Vic, with it thought there are clues in each part.
That said, some fans have noticed that three of the women if not two of them are stood out in the bar area of the pub while the others are not. Sharon and Denise are both at the bar or next to it, while Kathy is stood near the kitchen serving hatch, beside the bar.
Suki is outside the pub, and in the actual flashforward scene she is stood closest to the pub doors, leading to speculation she may have just walked into the murder scene. Similarly, Linda walks in from upstairs, and in the trailer she is shown in the upstairs kitchen.

So could fans be onto something, and could this mean either Sharon, Linda or Denise are the killer?
Taking to social media, one fan posted: "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." Another said: "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."
