EastEnders fans have predicted some huge Christmas plots for the BBC soap this year after last year’s murder whodunnit reveal, with possible exits and secrets revealed
Fans of BBC soap EastEnders think they have worked out what’s happening this Christmas, with possible twists ahead.
There could be deaths, sad exits, secrets exposed and maybe even returns lined up this festive period, if fans are correct. A year on from a murder whodunnit that saw Linda Carter kill Keanu Taylor, it may be just as dramatic in 2024.
Viewers think there are some obvious plot lines unfolding and that Christmas Day could see all kinds of chaos. One such theory is that it could be the end for soap legend Phil Mitchell, after recent drama for the character.
From clashing with his family to his showdown with Reiss Colwell, it’s been a busy time for Phil. Scenes recently teased a sad storyline for the Walford icon as he was shown crying and clearly lonely, leading to fans predicting a depression storyline.
But could we be losing legend Phil this Christmas? One fan said: “Something to do with Phil leaving is what I think.” As for other exits, fans think this will be when villain Nish Panesar will be killed off.
An exit was seemingly confirmed earlier this year when Nish was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Nish revealed he needed a heart transplant to survive, before recently adding he did not have long to live.

So will the villain bow out over Christmas, a year on from him being brutally attacked by The Six? After rumours he would die last Christmas Day, will he instead die a year on?
As well as predicting Nish’s demise, some fans have wondered if we could expect a sad exit twist for Linda Carter. The alcoholic almost died in a recent episode after hitting the bottle once more, and now some fans think she could end up leaving the show a year on from killing Keanu.
Will she and The Six be found out and finally pay for their crimes? Maybe not, as another theory is that Linda will end up killing again. One fan posted: “Can see it being Linda killing again,” while another suggested: “The Six get revealed from last xmas because they haven’t been able to think of a decent storyline.”
Another theory is that Mick Carter will finally return to the show, two years on from his sad Christmas ‘death’. Christmas episodes also tend to air big reveals, and fans think two big secrets will come out this year.
Viewers are speculating the festive period will be when Cindy Beale and Junior Knight’s affair comes to light, causing carnage. Fans also think Reiss Colwell’s lies and his killer secret will also be revealed at Christmas, after he killed ex-wife Debbie.
