EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw has hinted there could be a link between Mick Carter's exit and the dead body found at Christmas.
In a special flashforward scene which aired earlier this week, it was confirmed there will be a dead body this Christmas as the six matriarchs of the BBC soap - Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) - were seen standing around a dead body.
Hints have been dropped about the identity of the person and their connection with the Square, but fans will have to wait to find out exactly what happened to that person and who might be responsible for their death.
