EastEnders fans 'solve' Linda is Christmas killer and 'work out' victim after new scene

EastEnders fans think they might have spotted a clue that reveals Linda Carter will be the killer this Christmas.

On Christmas Day, one male character will be killed off in dramatic scenes at The Queen Vic - while his identity is not yet known.

Linda and five other female characters are at the scene of the crime, and all of them appear to have been caught up in a fight or a struggle.

Denise Fox, Kathy Beale, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater and Sharon Watts are the other women in the scene, while it's not known for sure if other characters are present.

Any one of them could be the killer, or not, with motives for different victims set to be teased across the year until the death scene on Christmas Day, with all to be revealed then.

But a scene this week linked to Linda and her new stepfather George Knight left some fans convinced of two things.

One thing fans speculated was that Linda would be the killer after something possibly happening between her and George, whether that be an affair or a fallout over her mother Elaine who he is engaged to.

There has also been speculation that George is the victim regardless of who the killer is, after it appeared he was hiding something.

The Queen Vic, which is where the death happens, links both George and Linda as they both run the pub now.

But the biggest clue of all was a possible foreshadowing, during a scene between George and Phil Mitchell.

George was confiding in his new pal about his family issues, including Linda not welcoming him or his daughters Anna and Gina.

But it's what he said that left some fans convinced a major clue had been dropped about Linda possibly killing George this Christmas.

He had said: "Now I’ve got two daughters who want to kill [Elaine] and her daughter still wants to kill me."

The comment was obviously in reference to Linda being out to get him, convinced he is up to no good, but some fans wondered if it was a clue of what was to come.

So will George be killed off later this year, and could viewer see Linda turn killer?

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
