EastEnders drops death bombshell tonight as Gray's secret murder exposed

EastEnders is set to air a huge death bombshell tonight - as Gray Atkins' secret murder is finally exposed.

The BBC One soap's serial killer (Toby Alexander-Smith) has managed to evade justice for all the murders he's committed - including the death of Tina Carter, Kush Kazemi as well as murdering his own wife Chantelle Atkins.

And in tonight's episode, as Gray's downfall looms, some of the residents will finally find out that Gray was behind the death of his late wife, who he abused before ultimately killing her in horrific scenes.

The net is closing in on Gray, who has also been abusing his current wife Chelsea Fox.

In tonight's show, Mick Carter accuses Gray of killing Tina - after the family were told the tragic news that the body found under the Arjee Barjee recently belonged to Tina.

However, Karen refuses to believe its the case and protects Gray, hiding him in the flat. Grateful, a lying Gray tries to charm Karen and leaves her feeling even more sorry for him. Mitch is less convinced by Gray's words.

It will only be a matter of time before Mitch realises the truth about Chantelle's death - but how will react?

Elsewhere, Chelsea will be left stunned as she returns home to find Gray waiting for her. As she demands the truth from her husband, will he come clean or will he continue to spout lies over his past?

Whilst we don't know how Gray's storyline will end yet, the actor has confirmed he will be exiting the soap.

Reflecting on his exit, Toby said recently: "It is really.... we filmed some stuff the other day and I actually got quite emotional just talking out loud about this whole journey as Gray because it’s been such a rollercoaster, to see it climax and to see it all come together it did actually affect me more than I thought it would."

Things are heating up for Gray as the net closes in around him and actress Shona McGarty - who plays Whitney Dean - recently teased her character could be the one to bring Gray to justice.

"She would never think [he murdered Kush], even though she knows about Chantelle," she said recently, "It just doesn't occur to her – it's not something she has thought about.

"When you're given that sort of information, you could do anything though. You don't know how you're going to react and so Whitney's reaction might actually be really shocking."
