We are just a few weeks away from the big Christmas storyline on EastEnders. Ever since the beginning of 2023, the BBC One soap has been building the mystery for what is about to go down on the festive eve in Walford. A FlashForward scene that released earlier this year, showed “The Six” – Kathy, Linda, Suki, Denise, Sharon and Stacey standing over a mystery man’s dead body. Ever since the teaser dropped, speculations began in full swing to figure out the identity of the murder victim. Oh, and also the murderer.
As the episodes passed, more and more clues surfaced that pointed towards many men being the possible murder victims on EastEnders. The few names that have forever been in the frontrunning are – Theo, Nish and Ravi. While, Keanu, Martin and Phil won mentions too. However, we have to give it to the makers for keeping the lid air-tight on the secret. Despite the many months that have passed, and the many clues that have popped, the identity of the victim is still elusive.
The Murder Victim on EastEnders Could Be…
Recently, we were going through the old EastEnders flash forward again, and a new detail caught our fancy. If you look closely at the poster, Sharon is towering over the man, who seems to have dropped dead on the path to the bar counter. Now, take a look at who is stationed behind said counter. It is Linda! Interestingly, she was in the front and center of the Halloween storyline. She came face-to-face with her biggest possible horror during the fright night. Her rapist – Dean Wicks returned to Walford as Cindy and Ian Beale’s pie shop partner.
Put all of that together, and we get a solid possibility of Dean being the dead man on the floor on EastEnders. Honestly, it would really fit the story well. He never paid the price for all the hideous crimes he committed. Moreover, the buildup to his death would be thrilling enough to watch.
Moreover, we can’t think of anyone who would really really hate to see the notorious rapist be gone. Another interesting detail that works in favor of this theory is he promise Kathy made to Linda. She assured her that all her loved ones will create a wall around her to keep her safe from Dean.
Could that be a hint at what’s to come? Tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for more EastEnders updates on the upcoming Christmas storyline.
