EastEnders fans are convinced that another huge twist is in store as Nish Panesar - who acted as one of the BBC soap's biggest ever red herrings during an explosive night of twists and turns - will be framed for Keanu Taylor's murder.
Back in February, we found out that one mystery male character would be killed off at The Queen Vic at Christmas. One of six female characters were 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.
Clues, motives and possible victims had been revealed since the clip aired, and with seven possible victims including Phil Mitchell, Keanu Taylor, Dean Wicks, Nish Panesar, Ravi Gulati, Rocky Cotton and Jack Branning. We now know who has died and who killed them after deadly scenes on Monday.
Fans reckon Nish will be framed for Keanu's deathAfter months and months of waiting, we finally had our killer - but could they get away with the crime? It was Linda who ended up turning killer in the big scenes, as one character lost their life in The Queen Vic.
Initially, it was believed that Nish had been murdered by Denise Fox, who had smashed a bottle over his head as he tried to drag Suki out of the pub by her hair. Sharon had felt his pulse as he lay bleeding on the floor, revealing that he had died.

Keanu was stabbed in the back (BBC)What viewers hadn't expected was Keanu to walk in on the murder scene, lash out at Sharon and try to choke her - prompting a vodka-fuelled Linda to stick a carving fork into his back. Then, for Suki to walk in an announce that she had revived Nish.
Now viewers are convinced Nish could be framed for murder in a major twist. In one poignant scene before she's able to revive her abusive husband, Suki says: "No, you don't die. You don't get the easy way out."
One tweeted: "Could this be a clue that nish is framed for the murder ? #EastEnders." While another commented: "Nish will be framed for Keanu’s wedding. They’ll use Nish’s injuries and say he and Keanu fought, and Nish stabbed him. It’s one of the only ways I see this storyline ending now. #EastEnders #TheSix." A third wrote: "Ready for Nish being framed for Keanu’s murder #Eastenders."
