EastEnders fans are just weeks away from discovering which man dies in The Vic on Christmas Day.
Since February, the BBC soap has been gearing up for the festive period after sharing a flashforward scene which offered viewers a glimpse into the Christmas Day storyline. Fans know that one Walford male will find himself on the floor of The Queen Vic in the dreaded cufflinks.
Six of Walford’s much-loved matriarchs will become embroiled in a series of events that will lead to his demise, and over the last 10 months, several male characters have made an enemy of one of The Six. While fans will remain in the dark until Christmas Day, the six stars involved are now aware who dies and the circumstances leading up to his death.

The 56-year-old added: “I was not expecting it, and I don’t think any of us were! I’m excited to see how it will play out as I think the viewers are going to love it. Although, it was easier not knowing as now I’m scared to open my mouth in case I say something I shouldn’t!”
Kathy Beale actress Gillian Taylforth explained she had her predictions, but remained tight-lipped on whether she was correct. “We’ve all been guessing just as much as the viewers, so it was great to finally know,” the 68-year-old said.
