EastEnders trailer 'drops major Christmas death clue' as fans fear for Linda

EastEnders fans spotted a possible clue about the looming Christmas Day death, as a new trailer introduced three new characters to the BBC soap.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted something chilling in the teaser that has led them to believe the victim may have been revealed - while some fans are worried for Linda Carter.

In the clip, newcomers George, Gina and Anna Knight walk towards The Queen Vic, with Linda and her mother Elaine Peacock waiting for them.

Linda looks horrified by the trio's arrival, clearly not happy to see them as they prepare to move in with her.

But something that happens in the short clip has left viewers concerned, with two possible links to the recent flashforward that confirmed a Christmas Day death.

Viewers know that one male character will die in The Vic this Christmas as part of a huge new storyline, with six current suspects.

Suki Panesar, Sharon Watts, Kathy Beale, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater and Linda are the current suspects, while it's not known for sure how the man dies, who he is and if one of the women kill him.

In the clip the scene takes place at The Vic and owner Linda is there, and she is shown with a cut lip, while there is a figure of a knight in armour behind Stacey.

The fact the family's surname is Knight left fans convinced this was the reason for the statue knight in the clip, and some fans believe it means George could be the man on the floor.

But now there could be two more clues that suggest George is the victim, according to fans, after some new clues.

In the new trailer, viewers noticed that one of the sisters are holding a bouquet of flowers which are later handed to Linda.

As Anna holds the flowers they are fresh and as they should be, but fans noticed that once they're in Linda's hands and she's greeted by George, the flowers die and wither.

One viewer also noted that the ribbon around the flowers is red and that this is the colour of the dress Stacey will wear as the death takes place at Christmas - recalling that it's Stacey who is stood in front of the knight.

Now, viewers are questioning whether this could all suggest George is the person killed at Christmas.

One viewer tweeted: "Wait a minute. The bouquet of dead flowers Linda is holding has a red bow. Red is Stacey’s colour and in the flash forward she is standing in front of a knight."

Another said: "The flowers wilt as he puts his arm to Linda’s back… im concerned for her… he might b the xmas murder victim."

A third viewer tweeted: "Notice the flowers that Molly Rainford (Anna Knight) gives Linda. Well when Anna had them they are perfectly fine and then when Linda turns around they start to wither and decay."

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