"He's DEAD..." - Christmas 2023 | Walford REEvisited | EastEnders 

What do you think is going on here? Let us know below! 🤔

Ever since Christmas Eastenders has been amazing. Fantastic writing, great humour- you can really tell the showrunner loves the show. This storyline is going to be huge.

Great episode - feels like eastenders is finally back on track

It’s definitely Jack. Linda walks in shocked at what happened and seemingly unaware. Sharon not invested enough emotionally for it to be Keanu or Phil, and she isn’t upset at all. Kathy in the background more shocked than upset so it can’t be Rocky. Suki doesn’t seem sad enough for it to be Nish or Ravi, as much as she hates their guts. But look at Stacey and Denise. The look is very different. Recent events of Jack sleeping with Stacey, and breaking up with Denise proves my suspicions. Jack Branning. Jack getting killed would change everything. The local copper getting murdered in cold blood. That causes ripples and it’s also a good reason for Penny and Lauren to return.

Weren't the cuff links shown on the victim the same ones Nish gambled away and lost to Rocky when they were playing poker during his bachelor party, but then gave them to Jack after winning them

Prediction: Jack Branning gets killed off. The producers have done a great job keeping everything under wraps, and giving the audience an expectation there will be a twist. But I’ve also been reading in between the lines. First off, EastEnders cannot afford to kill off Phil. Plus if someone as iconic a character as him is going to get killed off, I don’t think it would be a form of homocide. This guy has survived multiple car crashes and multiple gunshots! From an emotional standpoint, Keanu and Dean haven’t got anyone to really take the emotional fall if either men get murdered. Hence, there is no Karen or Shirley present (their mothers respectively). However, I can understand Nish or Ravi getting caught in the cross fire and it’s possible some of the women must want these guys dead, but these men have been clever enough to still be alive now. I think, based on the look of every woman in this scene, nobody is not horrified at what they have seen. It feels like the women definitely staged to kill someone - probably Nish or Ravi because of their bad deeds, but it seems like Jack might be the person who walked in at the wrong place and time, and took the hit. In terms of future storyline angles, this would set up a dramatic series of problems: - Denise would have to live with the guilt of knowing how her fiancé died. - Stacey would have to help raise Charli, knowing that she was involved in her Grandad’s death. - Ricky without his father, and of course Amy now an orphan. - More importantly, a police officer murdered: which means nobody in Walford will be safe by any means. Jack is probably the most likeable character in the square, so a lot of people will ask a lot of questions after this. You do also have to wonder why the producers have chosen to bring back Penny and Lauren at this time, when really they could have come any time. I think for those two characters to come back, something really important must’ve had to happen and Jack being murdered would add up.

I think it’s Nish... the suit. Although someone would be wearing one anyways because it appears Sharon is going to tie the knot, Nish is usually wearing one and is beginning to become bad news. Maybe the detail is so simple that it’s so obvious!? Will probably forget in 10 months time though :(

I still think it’s Nish, as Kathy looks at Suki checking on her reaction. And Suki looks shocked and sitting down. She also looks relieved in some way. Just seems like she knew the victim well enough

Absolutely adore Linda Carter's wardrobe 😍 she's definitely got serious pink pastel love! Also really love that Kathy and Linda have the same colour on almost x (possibly because they've gone through the same trauma) x

Eastenders fantastic idea! Can’t wait for the reveal! Let the twists and turns begin!

I think Sharon is looking at someone off-screen at the very end. My guess is it's Bernadette she's looking at & Nish is the body on the floor.

Does anyone notice the laughing as Sharon crouches down sounds like it could be Callum in the background?

I'm going to enjoy playing detective the next 10 months🤣 (Remember, the key is the gold cufflinks...)

What is going on here? It’s not even summer yet lol

One theory is. Everyone else is either in shock or seem alright about it except Sharon. She actually seems upset so someone she cares about even if they’ve hurt her? My other guess kind of contradicts that though as it leads to it being Dean. Denise sees Dean first (he was her step son once) he’s dangerous so she smashes the bottle and yells at him to leave, he then grabs Linda. Sharon runs forward to help and either Kathy or Suki (Kathy more likely if a Dean scenario given the convo they had this episode) pick up the bar stool that looks knocked over near the body in one of the shots and hits them on the head with it. Sharon gets splatted with blood (you see it on her dress) and he falls backwards into Stacey and then drops to the floor explaining the blood on her hands.

My guess! It’s not keanu it’s to obvious,kat said to Phil let’s put the wedding off till Christmas! So did kat and Phil spilt and Phil got back with Sharon and then something happened??? It could be dean because of the way Linda walked in!! But it could be nish because he was bad to all of these women and Kathy look at suki at the start!!! My guess… it’s nish

Ajyone else trying to catch any little clues by rewatching this?

Nish, Ravi and Vinny seem like obvious candidates, which is why I don't think it will be one of those. If we look at previous storylines, it's usually someone you least expect. - Lisa shot Phil. - Darren was the Father of Heather's baby, George. - Stacey killed Archie - Bobby killed Lucy. I don't know... I just don't think they'd drag out a storyline this long to make it someone obvious. Saying that, they're wearing the same cufflinks that Nish offered to Rocky during a game of poker. So who has them now? Nobody seemed interested in them, so has Nish taken them back? I think it's another herring. I actually considered either Dean or Max. Dean, for obvious reasons, but what if Max comes back for Annie? - Linda's split lip - Stacey covered in blood, trying to help Max because she's always loved him The others may just have wanted to protect Linda, like Sam and Zoe did with Den. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a few different versions lined up, like they did with Archie's murderer confessing.

I actually wonder is it Ian Beale? Although Kathy would certainly look more devastated than that if it was him, but then again, they might write that she turns against him too in the episodes leading up to this like Sharon did too before he left.

Sharon wouldn't be comfortable checking the body if Phil or Ian. It the way Kathy looked at Suki bending down. So thinking it's Ravi that's dead. The way Denise and Stacey look too. Maybe he went for Suki and Denise, Stacey stepped in helped her.

Regardless of who’s dead, I just hope the writers haven’t put Sharon and Phil back together. It’s been done to death, they are stale and boring and need to stay apart. There is nothing left there anymore.

Anyone notice how Sharon looks at something for the last few seconds? Maybe there's another person in there with them?

Maybe it’s something to do with assault? Linda… Dean? Stacey… Archie? I could be wrong but I think all of them have gone through it?

Omg coming back to this, this could be theo

Oh Christ, does this really mean we have to wait til next Christmas to find out what's going on here? Jeez, I can't guarantee I'll still be watching EastEnders by then as I don't watch the show regularly like I used to. I mainly come back on and off whenever I fancy tuning in again. I only started watching it again Christmas just gone.

How about we stop watching, stop watching now and binge watch before Xmas 😂🎄

Won't get to find out now until Christmas day now I'm guessing it's Phil Mitchell

We are getting closer to December and given everything that has happened the guy dead on the ground might be either Keanu or Theo

I'm hoping, seeing as the viewers are switching off again, that we find out who kills the person at the same time. I don't think We need a whoduunit straight after.

My guesses is it’s Ravi

The person lying on the floor could be Dean, Phil, Nish or Ravi. Christmas is ages away

WHY ISN'T JESSIE WALLACE AKA KAT IN THIS STORYLINE!!!!!!!!!!!

So Sharon's in a wedding dress so does she marry keanu. Could be nish or Ravi or even jack that is killed But I heard Dean was coming into it again. Lily baby would be born by then if she keeps it. I reckon Lola might pass away before Xmas 2023.

Why is this in the Ballum clips . Is this anything to do with Ballum

3:50 the laughing???? Ticking????

I actually think the Christmas scene looks better without the song playing.

Ravi, suki finds out that it wasn't actually her that killed ranveer it was ravi who finished him off, we all know its about to pop off with Jack and ravi so that would explain Denise and the bottle and the look Kathy gave suki, ravi tried stealing Stacey when he first appeared in eastenders so could explain Stacey not sure on the Sharon and Linda link but Sharon's in a wedding dress and Linda is her bezzie mate 💁🏾

It appears that the Vic has been remodeled by Christmas 2023? I'm not an expert at the pub's current layout, but isn't the open wall new? It shows into the kitchen. Perhaps Nish and Suki have purchased Mick's half and insisted on expanding the place into a more elaborate eatery? Also - the Christmas decor is VERY fancy/expensive; much nicer than in past Christmases. I know it's Sharon's wedding and she may have paid for the extras, but perhaps this is also an indicator that Nish/Suki bought half the Vic?

Suki came in and asked where Nish was. I think he got killed

It’s sukis husband he had them cuffs. He was wearing the during that poker game

It's Jack.

i thought a song played during this scene when it aired

The body is Jack . Rocky gave him those cuff links in the 13th July episode at Poker

💯 DEANO.. Brought back for the Xmas drama

The hands don’t look like nish…what if it’s Jack or Zack?

hes wearing green, denise wearing green, couple wearing matching outfit for a wedding?

Love it....i screamed wen i watched this!

I’m actually thinking Phil, it sounded like him when breathing and it looked like he and a suit on like he was marrying Sharon!! X😊

Nish dead, simple because actor who current play Nish got one year contract so he is dead on screen this Christmas with his final filming this Autumn. So it is easy to know that him then. 😊

It happened on Christmas eve

Dean Wicks

Why did they show a weird episode of Xmas 2023 when 2022 Christmas 🎄 was already gone I mean when it wasn't even Christmas 🤷

Interesting. So we're all gonna be wondering who they killed all year

Looking at the green suit, gray Atkins had the same colour suit

Its Nish or Ravi. Nobody else. MARK MY WORDS.

Theres a "knight in shining armour" stood behind Stacey which could be a clue as it doesn't exactly fit a christmas theme... Anyone know of a character thats been called that recently?

i’ve read most these comments and no one mentioned poor lola’s picture on the bar. has nothing to do with predictions but not ready for her to go😢

The way cathy was looking at suki is definitely nish for me I don't think it will be ravi

Nish Killed by Denise on Sharon’s wedding day. Poor Stacey! Is 3 her third body count at The Vic?😂😂😂

I’m sorry but I really can’t see Eastenders ever killing Phil off unless Steve McFadden dies in real life

I like what they've done here. We will spend the rest of the year putting the pieces together. I'm in to it

I remember first seeing this and thinking oh that is so far away. Now it’s just a few more weeks!! Cannot wait

Nish comes in all angry at Suki for staying out late. Makes a scene. Suki finally stands up to him and gives him a piece of her mind. Nish isn't having any of it, attacks her and tries to drag her out of the pub. The others wade in to defend her, and... well you can guess the rest.

EastEnders has improved alot over the last year with the new set and old characters returning

Wow what a twist! Well done Eastenders, we loved it 💜🎄

Seeing Stacey like that she must've been thinking about Archie

Getting Den Watts murder flashback and vibes here.

Doesn’t this remind you of a similar looking scene in an episode of the past? Chrissy, Sam and Zoe in the pub vs Den who is killed. The women of Walford against EE’s bad man.

Sharon: “He’s dead” Narrator: “Except he wasn’t”

It's so far away that it could be a character we haven't been introduced to yet

not sure why my previous comment of it being someone new relating to the carters, or the mitchells was deleted. I had also speculated that it could've been Ian but that was very early days. [as soon as this video had uploaded] I even went into detail. so I'm now 99% sure I was onto something that EastEnders didn't want others to see? idk. However I'm now back because I think Kellie herself has just given the game away with something she said. ""I can't see Linda pre-planning a cold-blooded murder, I don't think they'd do that. In my mind she would only kill as a defensive act, either protecting her children or herself" Anybody else get Dean vibes from this?

the picture of Lola on the bar :(

Something I think everyone is missing is there is a full table of food so either the wedding doesn’t go ahead (leading to a showdown) or this takes place BEFORE the nuptials also everything is in its place so rather than a struggle this feels like it was planned and they lured whoever it was to their death, still no thoughts on who it could be though

2:59 The look on Suki's face and Kathy looking at her like if it's someone she's related to... that's one clue, It's either Ravi or Nish

The fact that Linda appears to be coming from the dwelling part of the pub has struck me as strange since day one. Now with her recent trailer showing her cleaning blood in the living room upstairs, I’m beginning to think she will have her own murder plot also come the day… I think she’ll then come downstairs to find the other five with this body and all the women will come together to cover up both murders.

what a fantastic idea. this is true and its never been done before. Work of a genius.

So after all this time it was Nish Panesar on the Vic Floor after getting a bottle in the back of the head by Denise !!! But he's not dead he's still alive thanks to Suki giving him CPR . But Keanu Taylor is the death at Christmas after trying to strangle Sharon . Linda stabbed him in the back with a Carving Fork !!

Has this turned into Loose Women with the let's hate on men scene. Also imagine the complaints to Ofcom if a bunch of males were surrounding a defenceless female on the floor but it's okay the other way around? My guess is Nish btw

This means possible scenarios throughout the year - could Dean return? Who is on the floor.. nish could turn nasty and effect anyone of them woman including Sharon who wants to buy the vic, what part does Kathy have to play in it all? Perhaps it’s a showdown on Xmas day where their all involved like when den was killed, it’s a massive doof doof but also a very long wait to find out what’s gonna happen 😅😂

I’m certain It’s Nish. During the toast where it ended with “men, may they get what they deserve” I think suki is going to decide it’s what he “deserves” as it’s the only way she can escape him because he’s relentless. She was also the last to contribute to the toast before Sharon ended it. Also her part of the toast was “for always keeping us in the shadows.” That is exactly what this reveal of what’s going to happen this Christmas is doing, keeping US in the shadows. Because they’re not telling us anything conclusive or giving anything away. Then there’s the fact that the song playing during the scene is by EAST 17. Nish is of Indian descent, an EASTERN country. Also the restaurant he owns is called “Walford EAST.” Then there’s the fact that Suki is the first to lower herself closer to the body and then Kathy looks at her in a very concerning way, also Kathy is very empathetic and caring so it’s an indication that she’s looking at her as if to say “oh poor suki she’s lost her husband.” I personally think it’s going to be because Nish finds out about Suki and Eve’s affair and he confront Eve violently in the pub, and Stacey steps in to protect her, it gets out of hand and kills him. Also I don’t know why but I’m sure the jewel in the cuff link is a connection to India too, it’s an amber I think. That’s my conclusion anyway… I don’t care if you agree or disagree… free speech and thought is still legal so…. Make of it what you will…

i think jack dies. he has an affair with stacey and denise kills him. she looks proud in this clip with the bottle, not sad or happy, she looks glad. linda looks shocked, stacey looks a little worried and sad, also has blood on her hands maybe from trying to save him, as she cheated with him, suki is also shocked and kathy looks at suki so maybe it may be someone related to suki or suki killed him? and then sharon also looks like she is confused, she doesnt look happy or sad. they are alone there so i feel this is before the reception since the cake isnt cut or the food isnt eaten, and i think the 6 were just having drinks and an angry man came in to confront someone or attack someone and he gets attacked and killed, the 4 women saving one of the other, whilst linda was upstairs fighting someone else i think, maybe dean since she cleand blood from upstairs floor, 2 murders i think. but why would jack be angry? who woulld he try to attack, or which male would try and attack someone, maybe nish

100% it's Nish, Suki is the only one who sits down (Like when people say you better sit down your in for a shock) And Kathy looks at Suki aswell so it's 100% someone close to Suki, Other new clips show Suki running away down bridge street aswell.

So they're showing us this now in February? Eastenders is killing us 😂

Imagine Facebook Karens now having to cope with waiting 10 months for a resolution instead of expecting storylines to be over in 5 minutes despite the fact her doomed marriage has been over for years while working in the same job at Poundland since 1992

Can’t wait very excited this is new for Eastenders

I think Nish is going to kill Vinnie and everyone was trying to protect him because he knew about suki and eve and that's Vinnie laying there! Thats why Kathy looks at Suki because its her son. Literally just came to me randomly 🤣 could be so wrong

So we’ve gotta wait til Christmas 😂

Linda’s got a cut on her lip Sharon’s got blood on her dress Stacey has blood on her hands Denise has the Bottle (possible murder weapon) Also the way Kathy looked at suki. It’s gotta be Nish (I think) Update If Theo is alive tomorrow then it’s him.

Well whoever the murdered victim is will no doubt spend the rest of this year impacting these six women in devastating ways up until he ultimately gets his comeuppance on Christmas Night 2023.

There is a 20 year age difference between Gillian Taylforth (Kathy) and Kellie Bright (Linda).

This was such a good episode. 😢

You know what I hate? We have to wait a million years to see whoever it is (likely a jerk) bite the dust. But the thing is that this will all happen in a minute-and-a-half, and in the blink of an eye, we'll be looking at next year's anniversary episode.

I don't care who it is as long as it's not keanu. Let it be someone who absolutely deserves it and won't be missed.

couple of years ago ,, eastenders had totally lost its mojo. But with clever storylines like this , eastenders are going to smash it this xmas and well into next year. chris clenshaw, since he had joined in 2022 and brought a new lease of life into my fave soap ! . what with the heartbreaking lola story , and kims awful car crash. to karen and keanu and the kidnap storyline. Eastenders is back where it belongs at the top

Watch out during the year who wears that cufflink.

I'm thinking it's either Keanu , Nish, Phil or Dean . Cause tonight's episode showed Dean in a photo with Shirley . So I'm thinking Shirley might return soon and bring Dean with her . Maybe that's who the dead body is 🤔 I may be completely wrong now lol

Definitely Nish or Ravi his son ! Wish it was Dean though. Those three characters are scums

So, there’s a lot of possibilities here. Given the theme of the trailer combined with Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me”, it’s become clear that the victim is someone who has hurt all six of these women. The obvious choices would be either Nish or Phil, but I doubt it’s either of them. Sharon would be more broken up about it and Suki would look more relieved. Plus, Nish hasn’t really interacted with Kathy yet, unless it comes out that he’s secretly working with Ian or something. We can cross them off. I don’t think it’s Ryan either. Sure, Stacey has murdered someone in the Queen Vic before, but it would be lazy writing for her to do it again. But then, who knows, right? Dean is definitely a contender as is Ravi (or even Jack for that matter). But with Denise holding what could be a murder weapon and Stacey holding her hands out covered in blood…I’m not sure I could see it being either Ravi or Jack. I’m sort of leaning towards Dean here. Linda may have been attacked by him and the other five beat him to death and cover for Linda - like a Murder on the Orient Express thing. Long shot: Rocky. Rocky may have a secret that could prove to be his downfall. It would explain why Kathy is even there. Perhaps it also explains the blood on Stacey’s hands as she may have been trying to resuscitate him. Again, long shot, but I’ve been surprised before. So, long story short…I think it’s Dean. But rather than Linda killing him, I think the other five did it to save her.

Ive just noticed - there all in cludo colours bar one character Miss Peacock/suki - blue Pro. Plumb/kathy - purple Miss Scarlet/stacey - red Rev Green/denise - green Mrs White/sharron - white Mustard - yellow............odd colour out which surprised me as the rest cannot be a coincidence but this may be the clue as there is only one character not in the cluedo colours Linda........

I believe the person who gets killed is either Ravi or nish because if u pay attention Cathy looks at suki so clearly it’s someone close to her
