EastEnders star drops huge hint about Christmas death as he 'confirms' dead man's identity

EastEnders actor Aaron Thiara has dropped a huge hint that Ravi ends up dead this Christmas.

The character has made quite a few enemies since stepping foot in Walford, and he is convinced he could be the one to die this Christmas after bosses confirmed an as yet unknown man dies.

Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) are all involved somehow, as in the flashforward scene, they are seen crowding the dead body.

Not much has been revealed about who it could be or how they met their fate, but fans have long suspected one of the women would be responsible for the death, or they had all discovered the person at once.

Speaking to Inside Soap about what happens at Christmas, the Ravi actor said: "I can't escape the fan theories.

"The comments have been lovely though – people say: 'No you can't be the body on the floor!' But Ravi has a lot of enemies, and plenty of characters want to see the back of him. What I will say is there's a lot to come in the next few months."

He added: "It goes up a notch in terms of what that might mean for Ravi in the lead-up to Christmas."

EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw previously revealed all about the women's reactions to the big storyline.

"EastEnders has always had strong women at its heart, and we are incredibly lucky to have a host of hugely talented and extraordinary actors in our gift. It therefore made sense to throw some of our most popular and iconic female characters into a huge storyline together that has never been seen before," he shared earlier this year.

"These women are neighbours, they live on the same square, but we rarely seem them all interact in such a huge way. I called a meeting in November last year with Kellie, Bal, Gilly, Lacey, Di and Tish – they were all understandably quite confused, yet very intrigued, as to why I wanted to meet with this group all together."

He added: "We met over lunch and I broke the news and told them our plans on this storyline. As I explained the flash-forward scene and I said the words 'and we cut to Christmas 2023', they all stopped in their tracks, and the room fell silent.

"They were lost for words. Although that didn’t last long – as they had lots of questions; some of them were immediately trying to guess who the body is, some didn’t want to know, some wanted to know which one of them does it, others didn’t. I’m sure the questions they had back then are what the audience is asking now..."
