EastEnders fans 'work out' who dies at Christmas as Stacey 'turns to murder'

EastEnders fans have worked out who could die this Christmas - and they're convinced Stacey Slater is to blame.

In a special flashforward episode, viewers were treated to a scene from the Christmas episode. Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) are all seeing standing around a dead body, which we know is a male character, before Sharon declares he's dead.

What we don't know is who he is, what happened to him and how the women are involved.

Fans have been sharing their theories about who the dead person might be, and some viewers are convinced they've rumbled who might be the 'murderer' and who dies this Christmas in a shock twist.

Stacey agreed to go on a date with Theo after her mother Jean urged her to give it a go with the teacher, but viewers know he is harbouring a very dark secret and he is actually the man who has been messaging Stacey on her Secret Cam site.

Viewers now believe Theo could end up being the one who dies this Christmas in a huge twist.

"My theory on Christmas murder : I think the person killed is Theo, I feel his obsession with Stacey Will intensify when she decides she wants to get back with Martin, I feel Theo will attack or try to rape Stacey and Theo is murdered in the pub. #EastEnders," one wrote.

A second added: "Theo's going to be a big problem by December. #1 choice for the Christmas corpse. #EastEnders," as a third wrote: "I am beginning to think that the dead person at Christmas is Theo #EastEnders."

"Make Theo the body at Christmas please, thanks. #EastEnders," a fourth shared, with a fifth adding: "#Eastenders martins hunch was right it seems Theo is not nice at all could he be the dead body at Christmas."

Back in February, Lacey Turner - who plays Stacey - gave her theory on who the dead body is.

"When we first had the meeting about the storyline, I immediately thought it was someone who wasn’t in Albert Square yet. I don’t think it’s a character that is actually on the show at the moment, but the more that time goes on, and the more the six of us have chatted away, I feel like it’s an accidental death. I don’t think it has been done on purpose, and I think that it’s more of a group effort rather than one sole person, and if it is one individual, then I think all of the women are covering for them. I think we all might know something we shouldn’t know and we’re all covering for each other, and maybe the person hasn’t been killed?" she said.
