EastEnders murder victim ‘revealed by clue in Lola’s emotional message’ claims eagle-eyed soap fan
AN EAGLE-EYED EastEnders fan has spotted a clue in Lola Pearce’s emotional message which they reckon has exposed the soap’s murder victim.
BBC bosses have confirmed the explosive Christmas Day episode will feature a murder twist and a framing for the killing, centred on The Six storyline, which began with a flash forward episode in February.
A male Walford resident will be killed this Christmas Day with his body lying cold on The Queen Vic floor.
Either Linda Carter, Sharon Watts, Kathy Beale, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater or Suki Panesar will be responsible with each of The Six women being aware of the killing.
Yet last night – as EastEnders fans were left in floods of tears at Lola’s unexpected return – they believed they have exposed the victim.
The EastEnders hairdresser – who was played by actress Danielle Harold in the BBC soap – died of a brain tumour earlier this year, but returned in a video message.
One fan was quick to remark on X: “Lola saying ‘burn it all down’ while the camera focussed on Rocky.”
They finished off their message with a skull Emoji icon, hinting he could meet his maker.
Back in September, the soap was left in crisis after Brian Conley, who plays Tom “Rocky” Cotton, quit unexpectedly.
And fans now think this could be a way to explain his exit.
After Brian quit, an insider said: “It’s all come to a head.
“The truth is, bosses are furious.”
Brian called time on his soap stint after BBC bosses clamped down on stars appearing in pantomimes during the festive season.
Meanwhile, on Friday, EastEnders fan favourite Lola returned in a video message to husband Jay Brown, knowing he would be struggling to cope without her at Christmas.
Lola told him: “Well I had to come and say hello, didn’t I? It’s that time of year again. Time of fun, laughter, magic. Wishes coming true.
“And my wish for you is that your Christmas is everything that it should be. Fun, silly games, family bust-ups because it’s not Christmas without a family bust-up.
“What I want to say to you is Merry Christmas. I don’t suppose it’s been all that merry though, has it?
“Because when you love someone, when you really love someone, the thought of losing them makes you rage. There’s been times when I’ve wanted to kick off and burn everything down.”
Becoming emotional, Lola said: “I suppose you’ve had some moments like that over the last few months, eh?
“But that’s ok. You’re not a saint, and you don’t have to be. You’re just a lovely guy trying to hold his family together.
“I can’t help being angry. I love you, and I always always will.”
