With every passing day we are inching closer and closer to the much awaited Christmas Murder Mystery on EastEnders. Thus far, we know that the murder victim is a male character, and is perhaps connected to one of “The Six”. When the FlashForward teaser had first rolled out, Theo was the first name that made the round on social media. Back at the time, it looked like the lecherous teacher had his eyes set on pregnant teen Lily. However, it soon became clear that his interests were in Stacey and not Lily.
As the story moved forward, many clues started to spill out on EastEnders. Each one pointing at a different possible victim. The much talked about cuff links served the possibility of both, Nish and Vinny, being the victim. Later, several other names joined the list but did not stick for too long. Such as, Keanu, Phil, and Jack. However, after Ravi’s video of killing Ranveer came to the surface, he became a substantially reasonable runner to be the victim. Right alongside his father and Vinny.
Honestly speaking, when the news about Ravi’s ex-coming back to Walford surfaced, his chances of dying reduced. Moreover, with the addition of a daughter that he never knew he had, his chances of being the Christmas dead-body are next to none. Similarly, Martin Fowler too was touted as a possible victim. Especially, with the parallels between the crackling fire and song in the flash forward scene, and the scene of a previous Christmas where Martin is staring into a fire with the same song in the background.
But now, with the twist Theo’s saga has taken on EastEnders, we feel he has once again taken top position on the list. We feel Theo has survived Freddie’s beating only to die in the Christmas murder! Think about it. Theo has really become a household name thanks to the popularity of the storyline. Moreover, he is currently the most hated character on the soap. We genuinely can’t picture anyone being sad about him dropping dead.
At the same time, Theo is central enough to make an impact with his death! However, his loss will not leave fans missing for their favorite. As would be the case if someone like Martin died!
