The explosive episode centred around the lives of six of Walford’s much loved matriarchs.

Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Kathy Beale's (Gillian Taylforth) lives are set to change forever as a huge new storyline kicks off tonight.

After an eventful evening, the ladies of Walford settled into a lock in where they bond over their shared experiences, and moan about the men in their lives.

The flash-forward scene gives viewers a sneak peak into Christmas 2023.

The women are back in The Queen Vic, but this time things are less jovial.

Each of the women look horrified as they look down at the floor.

Sharon is in a wedding dress with blood stains and Denise holds a broken champagne bottle.

Stacey's hands are also soaked in blood and Suki looks on in horror.

Sharon hovered over the body and bent down to check the pulse of the mystery figure - who was dressed in a suit wearing cufflinks.

She then shockingly revealed to the other women: "He's dead."

Fans were left speculating who the victim could be, and one fan spotted a clue from the music they used in the scene.

They wrote: "the music... the very same song they used when Keanu was 'murdered' Christmas Day 2019."

The festive episode four years ago saw Martin inexplicably agreed to kill Keanu in exchange for Ben's help in helping him cover up his hit and run crime.

Viewers were convinced Keanu was dead - until an episode revealed Martin let him go and he fled from Walford.

Could the music in the 2023 Christmas trailer be a clue that Keanu will be murdered?

Viewers will have to wait ten months to find out.

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One.
