For the first time ever in the history of the Soap Opera Genre, Eastenders is actually building up a long story that will culminate with the flash forward sequence we see now.
Awesome! It's great when a soap starts subverting conventions of the genre to keep things fresh and interesting. Some producers are too set in their ways to experiment with anything other than abusing their power behind the scenes. This was a great device to keep the audience watching and waiting all year and ensure good ratings at Christmas, when viewers usually take a break from watching. Shout out to LOST for kicking off (or at least reinvigorating) this convention and congratulations to EE for making it work so well for soap! Nice to know it can be done.
HOLY FUCKING BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!! What an episode for the ages of EastEnders!!! Hopefully Nish will still get his comeuppance despite the fact that Keanu is the one who got killed-off in the end. But what'll that mean for The Six then, particularly Linda as she is the one who became the murderer in the end!!!
Has to be nish. Linda's pub - nish is after Sharon's gym - nish wants in Suki - She wants Eve Denise - She's probably with Ravi by then and Nish has done something to him Stacey - She probably tried to help Nish after being bottled. It's eastenders, they'll all play a part😅
Stacey had blood on her hands, Kathy looking at Suki (or was Kathy looking at Suki because she sat down) It has to be Nish. ... On second thought, Denise is holding a half broken champagne glass in her hand, what if it's Ravi?
@@vallarfaxgaming it wouldn't be the first charecter who escapes prison over Christmas 🤣 ive since changed stance a little and hope its keanu who is killed off but a part of me still thinks it could be theo
Linda looked the most shocked. But maybe it isnt even a main character since no one is particularly distraught. It could be a wedding guest. Or it could be a former cast member who came back to get revenge on Sharon or Keanu. A third idea is that it COULD be the women participating in a fake death., such as Phil's. They decide to fake his death so that the mob or whomever is after him will think he is dead.
Every flash forward episode is good .I am looking forward to it None of us know who is dead and the scene yet until next Christmas. We can only guess at this point. I it can be an one And one person did the killing. Of course everyone is excited about it EastEnders will never be the same again. After that.
Its obvious its Nish, Its not Phil or Keanu because Sharon would be more distraught checking the pulse, Its not Dean because Linda was barely in the room, I cant see Ravi going after Denise violently or any woman ,Plus the way Cathy looked at Suki and everyone stands there in shock but Suki slowly sits down she also looked like she was about to say Nishs name when she looked at the body ( A 10 Month Cliff-Hanger Though , I Hope This Doesn't Mean Suki Is Going To Push Eve Away For Another 10 Months Without Telling Her She Loves Her To , I Was Expecting Her To Come Out Soon, 10 Months Is Well To Long To Wait ,Its Also Pretty Frustrating We Have To Wait That Long To See What They Do After, The Cover Ups Always Better Than the Murder) A Long Cliff-Hanger Should Only Drag On For About 4Months, Nearly A Year Is Ridiculous)
I'm thinking the same exact thing. The way Kathy was looking at Suki and nobody seems too distressed. Nish is a very hateable character so it makes sense, but I guess we'll have to wait and see 10 months LOL I wonder if they let us spot those cufflinks before that episode!!
My question is whether they'll replay this whole scene again at Christmas, the viewer with hints and that and then Sharon goes "He's dead... x is dead".😊
Just seen the version without stay another day playing where you can here the sound effects and background noise more clearly with the sirens at the start being louder and what sounds like maybe an ambulance or police car's engine pulling up outside pub or maybe its a taxi
Don’t know if this rings any bells to anyone but it’s the same song in the background as the ending of Xmas 2019 when Martin was burning keanus clothes and he was “dead” maybe this time he really is
This Christmas is going to be very exciting expovilve story lines coming up There's a few people who can be on the hit list My first choice is eve Suik Suiks husband and Ravi and good son . Jack jay billy Ian . And many more people to be on the hit list. That what I think what do you think
I think Stacey did the murder. She's got blood on her hands and the armor behind her is about to go into battle. She is also dressed in red, which stands for aggression and danger. For example, all women are dressed in a color with meaning. the last thing we see is the color yellow, which can indicate power and greed. The burning hearth fire also has a meaning. this represents a place where there is a lot of violent conflict.
Steve McFadden is 'leaving' Eastenders later this year but I doubt that is Phil. If they want to kill off Phil they ought to bring back Grant and Ross Kemp hasn't said anything about returning
Hmm this is gonna be difficult this is pretty much bringing me memories back in 014/015 with the booby Beale story line with his sister Lucy. Gonna go with nish or …. 🤫 I’ve already got it planned out in my head 100%
I wonder if the person isn't a person at all, but a puppet/mannequin? Sharon's "He's dead" could mean someone got kidnapped at Christmas, they know the cufflinks and this is the realisation.
I want it to be dean but think it will be jack, nish and ravi seem too obvious. I doubt it's rocky and apart from sharon, and the albie story, keanu, and phil don't really have much to do with the others of the six. Bring on Monday
So after all this time it was Nish Panesar on the Vic Floor !!! But he's not dead he's still alive thanks to Suki giving him CPR ! But Keanu Taylor is the death at Christmas after trying to strangle Sharon . Linda stabbed him in the back with a Carving Fork !!
The interesting flash-forward idea to have so many legendary women characters come together in a story. ED did that a while back, but I don't think they ever went a whole year forward, it was either a few weeks or months for that story. It's not Phil. EE would never take out Phil like that, even though it would be interesting and Phil has ties to all the women. Phil is EE after all. I wonder if it would be someone like Jack to really shake things up that they kill off a legendary character like Jack in such a storyline. But it's probably someone that is easy for them to lose like Nish.
Not sure what the rave was about It went really a flash forward episode tho wer it it was just and normal eaatenders episode only difference being it was all women apart from the first little bit and all scenes set in the vic then there was just a little Christmas trailer 10 months early
It's more than a trailer it means over the next 10months something/someone is going to bring the women together then on Christmas day will culminate in a murder
What's very interesting and clever is that each of the women has a male character in their lives who could end up being the victim. Linda- Dean. Denise- Ravi. Stacey- Theo. Kathy- Rocky. Sharon- Keanu. Suki- Nish.
Nish is the most violent of the six and now knows about Suki and Eve, highest chance of dying unless he goes back to jail before Christmas Keanu second highest chance when his kidnapping of Albie gets exposed Dean only came back for Jade's cystic fibrosis, not likely to be him Theo will be in jail so ruled out Rocky sabotaging the cafe isn't a buyable reason for him to die, ruled out Ravi just had his daughter introduced so very unlikely it's him, mostly ruled out
it’s obviously denise. (film student and future professional film director here). as the sequence progresses, we all see each member of the six, but the camera lasts the longest on denise to capture her reaction and to allow us to wonder what she is thinking. also, the long-shot showcases the full body of denise, which, makes it easier to form connotations. the bottle smashed being one of them, implying she has killed someone, meaning jack
Wow…knowing that Nish is on the floor and the women are looking up at Keanu who just entered the Vic…this flash forward is made even more epic.
Keanu entered just after the flash forward ended.
For the first time ever in the history of the Soap Opera Genre, Eastenders is actually building up a long story that will culminate with the flash forward sequence we see now.
Hollyoaks did this exact thing a year or 2 ago didn't work out too well likely won't for EE either.
@@spencerreid2086 hollyoaks is shit tho
Perhaps you misread the "in EASTENDERS history part 😂😂😂
@@spencerreid2086 that was only because of covid, albeit we don't have something like that again this year EE will be fine.
@@spencerreid2086That's because Hollyoaks Producers are amateurs and don't care about the soap. To them, it's like having college on your CV for uni!

This is going to be my first Christmas episode since I began watching Eastenders, I am so pumped!
it’s so fun to watch this back now we know what went down 🥵😂
OMG WOW 😱🤯
I've heard about the six all month, never knew several months ago they did a fast forward. That's amazing
What a brilliant storyline, I've been excited for months! Its good to watch the flashforward again after the Christmas Day episode.
For anyone wondering the song is Stay Another Day by East17
Bit of an interesting point - when did The Queen Vic have a roaring fire? 😂
Ig it must be a new addition
Watching EastEnders now, I am more convinced than ever it's going to be Ravi or Nish. They've made enemies out of Denise, Sharon and Karen so far
Even now,that statement is correct although so many ppl hate him now
HOLY FUCKING BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!
What an episode for the ages of EastEnders!!!
Hopefully Nish will still get his comeuppance despite the fact that Keanu is the one who got killed-off in the end. But what'll that mean for The Six then, particularly Linda as she is the one who became the murderer in the end!!!
Has to be nish. Linda's pub - nish is after
Sharon's gym - nish wants in
Suki - She wants Eve
Denise - She's probably with Ravi by then and Nish has done something to him
Stacey - She probably tried to help Nish after being bottled.
It's eastenders, they'll all play a part😅
EastEnders looks very exciting alot more interesting at the moment then Corrie
Much better than corrie
Stacey had blood on her hands,
Kathy looking at Suki (or was Kathy looking at Suki because she sat down)
It has to be Nish.
...
On second thought, Denise is holding a half broken champagne glass in her hand, what if it's Ravi?
Yesterday’s Christmas episode was brilliant
Its the guy who's tutoring lilly im calling it now
I kind of think that too but Theo doesn't seem like the cufflink type.
Well you called wrong because Theo pleaded guilty to stalking and attempted rape so he's very much going to be in prison before Christmas
@@vallarfaxgaming it wouldn't be the first charecter who escapes prison over Christmas 🤣 ive since changed stance a little and hope its keanu who is killed off but a part of me still thinks it could be theo
Keanu judging by the suit or Nish. 🤔😬
They are playing the same song as the Christmas 2019 ending episode where we thought Keanu was dead, coincidence?
Really hope they don't kill him off
You were onto something. Well done.
😂😂😂 he is now
How did u know man wtf
Linda looked the most shocked. But maybe it isnt even a main character since no one is particularly distraught. It could be a wedding guest.

They decide to fake his death so that the mob or whomever is after him will think he is dead.
By the looks of it Linda isn't in the room when it happens as she walks in maybe that's why she is more shocked than others
Every flash forward episode is good .I am looking forward to it
None of us know who is dead and the scene yet until next Christmas.
We can only guess at this point.
I it can be an one
And one person did the killing.
Of course everyone is excited about it
EastEnders will never be the same again. After that.
This is the first one they have done.
Its obvious its Nish, Its not Phil or Keanu because Sharon would be more distraught checking the pulse, Its not Dean because Linda was barely in the room, I cant see Ravi going after Denise violently or any woman ,Plus the way Cathy looked at Suki and everyone stands there in shock but Suki slowly sits down she also looked like she was about to say Nishs name when she looked at the body
( A 10 Month Cliff-Hanger Though , I Hope This Doesn't Mean Suki Is Going To Push Eve Away For Another 10 Months Without Telling Her She Loves Her To , I Was Expecting Her To Come Out Soon, 10 Months Is Well To Long To Wait ,Its Also Pretty Frustrating We Have To Wait That Long To See What They Do After, The Cover Ups Always Better Than the Murder)

I wonder if they let us spot those cufflinks before that episode!!
@@ufochristhey did
They want you to think that.
Well Who Killed Lucy was 10 months too and that worked out perfectly.
You do actually reliase that keanu is only in eastenders till the end of this his departure is apparently linked to karen and phil
Best clue ever just came up
Did it???
My question is whether they'll replay this whole scene again at Christmas, the viewer with hints and that and then Sharon goes "He's dead... x is dead".😊
For sure, they will replay this. we will see what happens, the potential fight, or whatever, and who is dead then this scene will end episode after it
Just seen the version without stay another day playing where you can here the sound effects and background noise more clearly with the sirens at the start being louder and what sounds like maybe an ambulance or police car's engine pulling up outside pub or maybe its a taxi
Suki looked much more sad in tonight's episode than this flash forward. But I guess that's when they didn't know who the victim was.
If they only knew who the real killer is and who died 😅
Don’t know if this rings any bells to anyone but it’s the same song in the background as the ending of Xmas 2019 when Martin was burning keanus clothes and he was “dead” maybe this time he really is
🎯
I strongly believe it’s Dean, especially as he bought some cuff links from Alfie. Only three more days to go!!!
“We are gonna get rid of nish for good”… Righty then Suki explain yourself 😅
Who sot JR vibes!! (years ago,if you don't know) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have a feeling it might be Ian since he’s coming back
This Christmas is going to be very exciting expovilve story lines coming up
There's a few people who can be on the hit list
My first choice is eve
Suik
Suiks husband and Ravi and good son . Jack jay billy Ian . And many more people to be on the hit list. That what I think what do you think
My money is on Dean cause the boss said in a interview this month that this halloween Linda will get a hell of a surprise
Yup Dean is coming back it was confirmed yesterday
Looking at the flash forward at 1.21/1.22 sharon is kneeled over the body the head looks like its Jay facing towards Denise
Sharon is in a wedding dress
I don't know but who Denise Fox hit with the bottle 🍾
Got a feeling it’s going to be Ryan he was mention when Stacy said Ryan wants Lilly at Christmas
I hope not.
Great drama xxxx 😀
It's either nish or ravi
Only 3 days to go 😁
Those were jacks cufflinks that nish won in the card game a while back so unless anyone else gets them it’s nish .
Hang on I’m sure we’re only in February 😂
Right 🤣🤣🤣
@@jameliakingstom1190we are in December now😮
It could be Vinny that would be a shocking plot twist Nish and Suki son
I wonder if they got that flash forward idea from Hollyoaks doing it.
So, Denise has gone loopy and Sharon's abandoned them, yet somehow 6 regular characters know...
My money is on Nish or Dean but Nish is looking like the one that makes the most sense - but then is that too obvious?
Den Watts was killed in the same spot in 2005. Sharon and Stacey were involved in that too.
No it was Chrissie, Zoe and Sam
@@timelordgeek16 yeah I know, I didn’t mean that, I meant Sharon was his daughter and Stacey gave Zoe and Chrissie a false alibi for his murder
I think Stacey did the murder. She's got blood on her hands and the armor behind her is about to go into battle. She is also dressed in red, which stands for aggression and danger.
For example, all women are dressed in a color with meaning. the last thing we see is the color yellow, which can indicate power and greed.
The burning hearth fire also has a meaning. this represents a place where there is a lot of violent conflict.
Yellow can also represent cowardice, insanity and possibly bravery, it's both a positive and negative colour
Wait until December
Is Sharon getting married again? 😂
Believe so
Steve McFadden is 'leaving' Eastenders later this year but I doubt that is Phil. If they want to kill off Phil they ought to bring back Grant and Ross Kemp hasn't said anything about returning
He’s not leaving permanently.
It's either Nish, Ravi or Keanu, I want to know what's going to happen tomorrow's episode, will it show who it is?
No it won't be revealed till Christmas.
@@franciscondon1902
Oh...s**t that's, 10 months away
(I can't wait that long)
It's Reg Cox
This is between ravi or nish but why would they show Christmas already were not even march yet lol
Maybe its to get us all thinking what happens in the story line so they show us now and we see ehat happens during these episodes
Because it's a flashforward episode if you didn't already know
Fast forwarding to the future. It was clear in the episode.
@@tomalex4806 yea ik that
This shows Christmas 2023 and they're still looking so gorgeous
Kathy.
Linda.
Stacey.
Denise
and Sharon
He’s still alive
Hmm this is gonna be difficult this is pretty much bringing me memories back in 014/015 with the booby Beale story line with his sister Lucy. Gonna go with nish or …. 🤫 I’ve already got it planned out in my head 100%
BOOBY? 😂
I think it will be nishi or that nuggets dad.
It's jay
Oh come on talk about wishing our life away jesus
Denise saves jack from getting killed by ravi with a biro knife so denise kills ravi with a bottle
Either Keanu or Ryan.
Keanu. I was sort of right.
It’s gonna be Ryan
I hope not.

The only legends in this lineup are Kathy, Sharon, Stacey and Denise 👌🏼 Linda and Suki will always be blow-ins especially Suki 😂
No Linda is legendary too
Still think this is Mick. 😂
It's not a man it's janaine
She’s in prison lol
Don't think she'd have cufflinks
This all lakes sense no3
