Before I begin with my question, I would like to start off by saying that I'm not really much of a soap fan. Not anymore anyway. Especially as there are so many wonderfully good quality dramas out there. But being a real-life Eastender, Eastenders was naturally one that I've dipped in and out of over the years (and no it's nothing like the real East End!) I have to say though that I was very intrigued by this year's anniversary episode (golly, 38 years of Eastenders already!) From what I understand, Eastenders has never done this type of 'flashforward' scene or this type of storyline. As someone who is a real film lover and even studied it at university for a while, I have to say that the little glimpse that they showed us as to what's in store for us this Christmas is crossing over from traditional soap territory and is quite filmic in quality. Not only will we have a whodunnit to solve by Christmas but also a whoisit as we have yet to discover the identity of the body by the Queen Vic bar! I have to say I'm rather impressed and suitably intrigued to the point that I may tune in on a more regular basis to see exactly what happens at Christmas!
So just for fun, I thought we could jot down who we think the murderer is... and who the dead body on the floor belongs to!
Even though Denise is stood there with what appears to be the murder weapon, a broken bottle, I don't believe she's the killer. My guess is it's either Stacey or Suki. And I don't know why but I can't shake off the feeling that the body is that of Phil Mitchell!
OK, here's how I think it would go:
VICTIM KILLER?KILLERS MOTIVE
Jack Denise/Stacey Crime of passion!
Rocky Kathy Cafe fire
Phil Sharon Albie's paternity
Dean Linda Rape & harrassment
Sharon Feud with Keanu
Nish Suki Eve's disappearance
Ravi Suki Ranveer's death
Denise Ongoing feud
Keanu Sharon Abie's kidnapping
I'm sure there's more possibilities though!
