@EastEnders - WELL WELL WELL!!!!!!! Denise killed Nish!!! and then.... LINDA KILLED KEANU!!!!!! and then..... NISH IS NOT DEAD AFTER ALL!!!!! So do that mean? "Linda killed Keanu" Does this mean. "Keanu is the 'he's dead man' in the end. And does that also mean that. "Linda is the killer of The Six".
I haven’t been this pumped for an EastEnders Christmas since 2007! This has been one of the best episodes in years! I can’t wait to see what happens next. It’s quite interesting how in the flashforward episode, Kathy told Linda that she’d have a wall of friends to protect her. Turns out, those friends may be protecting her from going down for Keanu’s death!
Yeah.... because 5 women couldn't pull Keanu back could they. Seriously? They stand around as though waiting for a bus while he makes minimal effort to hurt her. Biggest tut ever. In addition, do they SERIOUSLY think placing a thin piece of floorboard over Keanu's shallow grave will keep him hidden forever?! Eastenders 'cliffhangers' have just got worse across the years, they truly have. You can tell by the style of camerawork and filming (not just the performances) that the show is running out of steam. It reminds me of one of those axed soap operas that shows something like this in its final few months.
Poor Linda though. She has now killed a man - even if it was in self defence - although why didn't she stab Keanu in the leg not the back? And why did all the women join in to attack Nish when he went for Suki by tacking him but they didn't make much of an effort with Keanu. Good entertainment though - will be fun to see how they work their way out of this without some or all of the six eventually ending up in jail.
@@martinmitchell7280I’m guessing they’ll frame Nish and say they hit him in self defence. But I bet Dean is in the cellar and listening to them plan their story. Also Linda was drunk and panicked for a long time before she stabbed Keanu
I had butterflies in my stomach before the episode started - the build up has been so intense. You absolutely smashed it EastEnders 👏 I loved every second 😍
Well, I have to say, EastEnders has redeemed themselves, this masterpiece of an episode gave me Classic EastEnders vibes as this referenced Dirty Den's demise in 2005, they have outdone themselves in 2023 and we hope for more dramatic storylines like these for years yet to come. Once again, this whodunnit storyline has proved EastEnders' success and power for past years and the years yet to come. Props to everyone for making this episode the best one during this decade in time where they tackled Covid 19 and Lockdowns and still managed to thrill not just us in the UK but the nation watching this amazing episode. We're extremely excited for the aftermath and for what happens to the Six in 2024, thank you EastEnders!! Much love!
what show have you been watching . the ratings tell otherwise that this drama has suffered from the repeated storylines that coronation street faces and the loss of the good characters over time now being replaced by short time folk
Really it hasn't, I've watched EE since it started this was the worst Christmas they have done, too much violence and unbelievable for ratings. Hiding the body means months more of this storyline dragging on there is evidence and wouldn't take Sherlock to work it out but the six will all be saved.
they only gto 3.6 million viewers which speaks volumes , if the show was any good for the last 12 months it would have gained viewers but actually its lost them, but the same old trash murders . last year was the death of MIck which wasnt that interesting
Excellent episode!!!!! The buildup since beginning of 2023 was a great idea!!!!! Keep it this entertaining!!! The actors were amazing and the whole production went above and beyond anybody could've imagine with this episode!!! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode!!!
On the scene of Suki trying to initially get out from the front door, I would have thought Nish would have come in jangling the keys with a line "looking for these"?!
That was so good I’m shocked! 😱 I love when Denise hit him over the head with a bottle 😂 and when Linda saved Sharon. Lol I’ve just watched the Christmas episode and now I’ve come on UA-cam to watch it again lol! Also can you film the new years trailer bit because i didn’t realise until it nearly finished thanks. Thank you Eastenders for the best Christmas Day video. COME ON THE SIX! 😱😂
@@AndyKirtland11I could see them giving Dean a redemption arc and actually help Linda dispose of Keanu’s body, and as for Nish, I reckon Ravi will kill him in the woods just like how he manipulated Ravi into trying to kill Eve
They deliberately left it open - we never physically saw him leave we were just given to think he did given the sound of him walking down the stairs and then leaving the back door open. If he was a witness - I don't see how they can keep him silent for ever.
I absolutely loved watching this! All the build up has been brilliant! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode! Just thought did Dean really leave or was he listening upstairs?
Keanu's story is actually really sad. All he wanted was to be a father to his children, when he found out he wasn't Albies father he died a broken man. Rip. I hope theres a funeral for him
Wow wow wow, EE christmas 2023 has got to be the best episode in years. The way phill found out about Albi, the way Ravi stood up to Nish and the fact that at first you thought it was a double murder. I just wish it was Nish that had gone so Suki and Eve could be together properly. Well done to all the cast and everyone involved at EE for a brilliant 2023 storyline and here is to 2024 ❤❤❤
Fantastic episode I have to say. The lead up to this moment was very well written and produced. The showdown between Suki and Nish and the Plot twist in the end was top notch.
Why did Suki save him though? She's supposed to be passionately in love with Eve, wouldn't it make life easier for her and Eve to get on with their relationship if he was out of the way? This part of the plotline playout I don't entirely get somehow?
The flash forward makes so much sense when you’ve watched tonight’s episode it links up almost perfectly you can almost tell Denise bottled nish if you look carefully you can see an outline of his hand when Sharon checks his pulse by far the best Christmas episode for a long time though keep it up Chris Clenshaw 🎉👍
The most brilliant part of the flash forward is they told you who the killer was right from the beginning but a bit of lower quality lighting and it wen't right over our heads. The moment I realised Kathy's dress was plum not black I knew the killer should have been wearing mustard, not pink. Best game of Cluedo ever
I wanted Keanu to live so that he could feel the full force of everything he did wrong and it all blowing up in his face. Nish was way too obvious so I'm glad it wasn't him. Did not see that coming, they did a good job on this storyline and episode 👏 Edit: Also wanna say I actually quite like Keanu's story arc now that I think about it. I think there's some saying about how the road to evil is lined with good intentions? Keanu didn't start off bad but the more desperate he got, the more low he was willing to sink to get what he wanted. I think if he had stayed on, he would have become a new villain/abuser.
Yes I kept saying Nish was too obvious, but never expected this. Something tells me that Nish gets up and disappears from the scene whilst Dean is in the background and most likely filmed Linda killing Keanu. They don’t kill off the natural villains that easily, and we all knew Nish and Dean have been aggressive towards women in the past, whereas Keanu just turned from nice guy to end up just like them and his dad out the blue.
I actually don't see Keanu as bad or even in the wrong at all, except for his role in the fake kidnap. He was exiled from Walford for his affair with Sharon, was ordered to be murdered by Phil and Ben and ended up shot by Linda, had to go on the run for years, risked his neck to double-cross Keeble for Phil only to be stitched up by Phil and almost made to leave again, kept schtum on Keeble's shooting for Phil and Kat, was blackmailed by Lisa, lost his daughter after being double-crossed by Lisa AND Sharon, had Albie's true paternity concealed from him, and then ends up murdered for once flipping out when this all spills out. All because he once had an affair with Sharon when he was a teenager. If I were him I'd be just as raging, if not more. I didn't buy the "evil Keanu" arc written for him because I don't think his reactions were wrong in the first place.
He swore on his life as well to Phil!!! That he wasn’t involved in the kidnapping of Albie. Every time someone swears on someone’s life and they are lying, like Sharon did with Denny (again with Keanu involved) someone dies!
Plus he never actually found out what his dad did to his mom and what it was that caused him to end up in jail. Keanu had done to him the exact same thing his dad did too his mom. Only she had just managed to survive. That’s some foreshadowing from when the Taylor’s first showed up!
Best Christmas episode since 1986. Very well written and produced. Congratulations to all the actors involved and particularly to the Executive Producer who has turned the fortunes of the show around and made it unmissable TV again.
@@mitchellhurd9300 Exactly. Then Sharon and Angie stood in that exact same spot where they announced to Den they were leaving him in the second episode that night before Pauline caught Den handing Michelle money confirming he was Vicki's father 5 minutes later in the same spot. That hallway is now responsible for 3 EastEnders Christmas cliffhangers and all of them were ace 🤣
I don’t know if this was just a coincidence or what, but in the early few episodes of Keanu’s return, when Sharon found out about Keanu and Sam in the Vic, there was Sharon, Keanu, Linda, Kathy, Denise, Suki and Nish and now tonight it was all of them, but now including Stacey. Also, Keanu saying he didn’t want to be like his dad, and now look. What an explosive episode! 😮😭👌
Hands down one of the best Christmas episodes ive seen of eastenders in years the writers absolutely nailed it this year fantastic acting from the cast from start to finish and really did keep us audience guessing till the very end what a twist with Keanu actually being the man who got killed and not nish Chris Clenshaw has done an amazing job and turned this show around massively in the last year unmissable tv eastenders is once again
That episode left me stunlocked, crying from the Lola section with anxiety tight throat symptoms :( I lost my mum 10 years ago. The twist at the end and just the way the episode was written it truly deserves all the awards. Thank you to all at Eastenders and Happy Chrismas :)
absolutely incredible episode and 100% worth the wait. the twist was awesome too. it could've easily been nish though with his recent outrages, didn't expect keanu to get that angry though. brilliant job!
I think it's tragic Keanu fall from Grace because of Sharon. Sharon groomed him. Sharon was a curse. Everyone dies under her influence. Keanu was a decent person until Sharon came along. Keanu and Phil got on at arches until Sharon came onto Keanu. Played mind games with Keanu on and off. Dumped him and didn't want to know until he and Louise got together. Then she wanted him. Sharon turned Keanu by playing games. He almost died at the hands of Phil because of Sharon. I don't think Keanu would of fake abducted alibie. Karen kept telling him he needs to do something to get access to albie. Nagging him he can't let Sharon keep doing this. He thought this was only way as Sharon was gonna leave. Then kept quiet about Keanu not being the dad and was willing to go along with this lie. So really can't play moral. And only told truth out of narsism after finding out about abduction. I dislike Sharon she's just as bad. Can't stand her. She brought out the worst of Keanu. If only Keanu had stayed with louise
Lol Sharon never wanted a relationship with him, she was willing to leave him many times Keanu is just blinded by horniness. He slept with Louise, Sharon and Sam knowing what Phil was capable of 😂
That's what I like to see, Eastenders back to its true form, never seen so much chaos, I will add that Suki looked mighty 🔥 in that outfit, defo a Walford Babe.
I avoided all spoilers becasue in Australia we are about a month behind. I stopped all EE stuff coming up in my FB newsfeed. I am so happy i wasnt spoilt. What an amazing episode. Did not expect to see 2 men go down! What a twist. Well done EE. Brilliant xmas episode!!!
This was a PHENOMENAL Episode! Best Christmas Episode since 2007 hands down! Should or known since the Flash Forward in February this was gonna be good and it was worth the wait!
Me too! I think Nish will survive and slink away with his tail between his legs and Ravi and Suki will become a force to be reckoned with. If Nish leaves, that means Eve can stay. Maybe they could have the actor who plays Nish come back as his unknown twin brother; hate to see him go as he is 😍😘😙☺️
They tried so hard to make this a misdirection & surprise that the ending was actually hilarious that they almost killed one guy then actually did kill another within a couple of minutes. 😂😂 Probably the craziest fee minutes in Eastenders history & that's saying something.
I won't forget that episode in a hurry! What amazing work from all involved over the last 10 months 👍👏👏👏👏👏!!!!! I've never seen an episode in any soap with someone going from happy to almost murdering someone. That angry look in Keanu's - WOW 😲😲😲!!!!!
It was a great episode with Keanu being exposed and then Nish getting clobbered and Keanu getting stabbed I really enjoyed it and it was the perfect ending to a great year of Eastenders and I still think they’ll be a twist tomorrow but the overall episode was outstanding.
OMG!! I am so glad I came back to EE this summer. This episode was so awesome!! I guessed Nish would be the body from the flashforward, and I would be happy with that, but then you had that Keanu twist.. OMG!! Amazing!!
I am TRULY DISAPPOINTED! Why allow a wife abuser to live but a desperate father that was gaslighted be killed? Nish better be the next body tomorrow or he better be heading back to prison because this is a betrayal to the fans.
Oh man this was epic twist and turn after another. I was 😮😮😮😮all the way through FANTASTIC EASTENDERS what an end twist I can't belive we been waiting since February I can't wait to see the rest coming ❤❤❤❤ brilliant writing best Christmas eastenders iv seen for years X
Good lord! Out of the frying pan, into the fire, back into the pan... and into a whole new fire! All in one episode! Whatever happened to the Christmas spirit?! It's clearly the third casualty in all this! Merry Christmas, Albert Square! 😁 Edit: Nice to see so much excitement, speculation and positive feedback in the comments for a year of riveting storytelling that lead to this climactic twist. Must feel great to be a writer on EE right now. Hats off to the producer and his team! 🎉
Keanu dies while Suki saved Nish. Not sure why because now he’s just gonna make her life hell again, unless the women try and frame him for stabbing Keanu. So disappointed in myself for thinking Jack was the victim. All he did was borrow a tin opener.
I knew from the start that it was nish, because the reason why I knew is because, if you know about the trailer Kathy looked at suki so that was a hint that Itll be nish. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode what happens.
This is, without question, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. How the cast kept a straight face throughout is a testament to their skill. And people say the BBC can't do comedy anymore... 😅
Excellent best episode for years. Linda i think called an ambulance for Nish, When they come how are they going to explain Keanu? They'll have to hide the body... and Dean might still be in the pub, and knows everything
I have been both convinced and hoping it was Nish since February. Was starting to doubt as thought it was too obvious. 100% didn't see that coming, was awesome
I really wished Keanu and Louise would be happy together in the end but Linda never went to far killing him he completely snapped he was intent on killing Sharon its like the others weren't even in the room
Phil will come by and take care of Keanu who “left town” after finding out he wasn’t the father. Provided that everyone keeps their mouth shut …no one will go down for this. Fantastic episode!
So, did you guess who it was? And whodunnit?
@EastEnders - WELL WELL WELL!!!!!!!
Denise killed Nish!!!
and then....
LINDA KILLED KEANU!!!!!!
and then.....
NISH IS NOT DEAD AFTER ALL!!!!!
So do that mean?
"Linda killed Keanu"
Does this mean.
"Keanu is the 'he's dead man' in the end.
And does that also mean that.
"Linda is the killer of The Six".
What about Dean?
I guessed one of the people would be keanu but I definitely thought Phil would be the other body
I had guessed Denise was the killer, though said Dean or Nish would be murdered😮. Shocking twist had me at the edge of my seat!
@@aishas2497 maybe he finds out about nish and keanu so the six kill him to protect their murders/secrets
Am I the only one who cheered when Ravi finally landed a punch on Nish? 😂
So did I
For his character yes but in real life he's lovely
Cheered and 🕺 around the sofa🎉🎉🎉😅🕺😅😅
I screamed sooo loud lol
Nope, I certainly did, too 😂

More than Archie’s whodunnit and the climax to Max’s revenge storyline?
Yeah.... because 5 women couldn't pull Keanu back could they.
Seriously? They stand around as though waiting for a bus while he makes minimal effort to hurt her. Biggest tut ever.
In addition, do they SERIOUSLY think placing a thin piece of floorboard over Keanu's shallow grave will keep him hidden forever?!
Eastenders 'cliffhangers' have just got worse across the years, they truly have.
You can tell by the style of camerawork and filming (not just the performances) that the show is running out of steam.
It reminds me of one of those axed soap operas that shows something like this in its final few months.
Thank you Chris Clenshaw for continuing to make Linda an important character without Mick, Shirley and her kids.
A fantastic Christmas episode.
Poor Linda though. She has now killed a man - even if it was in self defence - although why didn't she stab Keanu in the leg not the back?

@@martinmitchell7280 good point about the leg stabbing but she was half cut and wasn’t thinking properly.
This will be why Johnny returns I bet.
@@martinmitchell7280I’m guessing they’ll frame Nish and say they hit him in self defence. But I bet Dean is in the cellar and listening to them plan their story. Also Linda was drunk and panicked for a long time before she stabbed Keanu
@@addiasfan2279Johnny went off to study law didn't he? So he might be back as a lawyer for her.
But Linda is going jail for a long time...
I had butterflies in my stomach before the episode started - the build up has been so intense. You absolutely smashed it EastEnders 👏 I loved every second 😍
Same here, I was nauseous!! Maybe had too much Christmas food but also just nervous!!

When Suki said 'I'm not leaving you are' to Nish they are the exact words Chrissie said to Den the night he died

Eastenders hasn’t been this good in years!! Well done to all the writers/producers/actors! Bravo 🎉
Bal was amazing tonight😳🥰!
The fear in Suki’s voice when she said “No. No. No.”
Was heartbreaking,
She’s so scared of Nish🥺💔.
I think she still loves Nish she just does not want to be with him she had a weak moment when he was begging her back
And yet she wasted how many opportunities to escape in this last month the character & Suki\Eve are now laughable
Eastenders you've outdoing yourselves. This ENTIRE year has been a pleasure to watch, keep it up for next yr👍
A 'pleasure'?! It's as depressing as shit
Nobody can beat EE at Christmas. They smashed it!
Agreed !!
Eastenders please keep these story lines coming, hasn’t been this good I years
Excellent episode!!!!! The buildup since beginning of 2023 was a great idea!!!!! Keep it this entertaining!!! The actors were amazing and the whole production went above and beyond anybody could've imagine with this episode!!! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode!!!

I just want to say Avani was great for standing up to Nish like that. It was subtle but that was pretty brave.
True 👍🏼
That was so good I’m shocked! 😱 I love when Denise hit him over the head with a bottle 😂 and when Linda saved Sharon.

Absolutely genius. Thank You Chris & all the team for producing /creating/ acting such quality episodes.
Does anyone else think that Dean never actually left the Vic and knows everything?? 🤔
Yes. He will be framed
He could’ve filmed it all and that would mean the end for Linda. We’ll see tomorrow.
@@AndyKirtland11I could see them giving Dean a redemption arc and actually help Linda dispose of Keanu’s body, and as for Nish, I reckon Ravi will kill him in the woods just like how he manipulated Ravi into trying to kill Eve

Well done EastEnders, Chris Clenshaw, and especially the ladies!! You all did a great job! ❤
I absolutely loved watching this! All the build up has been brilliant! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
Just thought did Dean really leave or was he listening upstairs?
He heard everything I bet he'll use this to blackmail Linda into doing something.
I felt that he was around and was going to use this against Linda
So sick of that guy, awful, bland character, can't even act properly
Linda 2019 : shoots Keanu
Linda 2023: Stabs Keanu
good catch!
Stacey’s face at 2:12 exactly describes every second of this fight scene for me, I was shaking
Omg the wait was worth it! I was yelling at every twist and turn! My only wish is that Nish stops breathing before the next episode!😂😂
Keanu drooping to the floor in slow- mo with blood coming out his mouth will be imprinted in my head forever now 😭☹️
I know I was looking so hard for comments like this abt the blood haha I kinda feel bad for keanu 😢
Me too😢😢😢😢😢
It was about his realization that he was dying. He didn’t have much time to realize what he had just done…
Keanu's story is actually really sad. All he wanted was to be a father to his children, when he found out he wasn't Albies father he died a broken man. Rip. I hope theres a funeral for him
Karen might come back for the funeral so yeah probably
😢I doubt there will be a funeral for Keanu if they "Cover up" for him and say he "Left town" when he discovered Albie not his son ..😢
Oh yeah good point
Just whit until Kegan find out about Keuno death
And just whit until Louise Mitchell find out as well

Best Christmas episode since 1986. Very well written and produced. Congratulations to all the actors involved and particularly to the Executive Producer who has turned the fortunes of the show around and made it unmissable TV again.

I saw a clip from a 1986 EastEnders where Den handed Angie those divorce papers in that very room!
@@mitchellhurd9300 Exactly. Then Sharon and Angie stood in that exact same spot where they announced to Den they were leaving him in the second episode that night before Pauline caught Den handing Michelle money confirming he was Vicki's father 5 minutes later in the same spot.

You actually mean you were shocked and upset.
Yeah, you're the only one because you're a nutcase. Seek help.
Can’t lie the way I predicted things would’ve been better. The old Keanu wouldn’t have done this at all and they ruined his character.
That episode left me stunlocked, crying from the Lola section with anxiety tight throat symptoms :( I lost my mum 10 years ago. The twist at the end and just the way the episode was written it truly deserves all the awards. Thank you to all at Eastenders and Happy Chrismas :)
absolutely incredible episode and 100% worth the wait. the twist was awesome too. it could've easily been nish though with his recent outrages, didn't expect keanu to get that angry though. brilliant job!
I think it's tragic Keanu fall from Grace because of Sharon. Sharon groomed him. Sharon was a curse. Everyone dies under her influence. Keanu was a decent person until Sharon came along. Keanu and Phil got on at arches until Sharon came onto Keanu. Played mind games with Keanu on and off. Dumped him and didn't want to know until he and Louise got together. Then she wanted him. Sharon turned Keanu by playing games. He almost died at the hands of Phil because of Sharon. I don't think Keanu would of fake abducted alibie. Karen kept telling him he needs to do something to get access to albie. Nagging him he can't let Sharon keep doing this. He thought this was only way as Sharon was gonna leave. Then kept quiet about Keanu not being the dad and was willing to go along with this lie. So really can't play moral. And only told truth out of narsism after finding out about abduction. I dislike Sharon she's just as bad. Can't stand her. She brought out the worst of Keanu. If only Keanu had stayed with louise
The curse of the 50 year old Barbie doll!
Lol Sharon never wanted a relationship with him, she was willing to leave him many times Keanu is just blinded by horniness. He slept with Louise, Sharon and Sam knowing what Phil was capable of 😂
Brilliant analysis.
That's what I like to see, Eastenders back to its true form, never seen so much chaos, I will add that Suki looked mighty 🔥 in that outfit, defo a Walford Babe.
I avoided all spoilers becasue in Australia we are about a month behind. I stopped all EE stuff coming up in my FB newsfeed. I am so happy i wasnt spoilt. What an amazing episode. Did not expect to see 2 men go down! What a twist. Well done EE. Brilliant xmas episode!!!
That has to be the biggest Christmas plot twist in Eastenders history.
One of the greatest eastenders episodes ever absolutely love it was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end best soap ever
Absolutely incredible episode and one of the best christmas specials for years
Eastenders definitely delivered this year, hopefully they keep up the good work
Now that was a doof doof I was NOT expecting! Well done EE 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This was the best episode I have ever seen
This was a PHENOMENAL Episode! Best Christmas Episode since 2007 hands down! Should or known since the Flash Forward in February this was gonna be good and it was worth the wait!
poor Keanu, died knowing his child wasn't his. What an awful way to go.
Eastenders was so good! I wasn't expecting the twist at the end at all!😮😮
Oh yeah lol it took Ravi long enough to stand up to nish lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best part was Ravi standing up to Nish!
Wish that I was like Eve & Suki all loved up & in an Awsome relationship too
This was an EXCELLENT episode!
Well when karen finds out she's gonna cry my son
But what can she do about it?
Best Christmas episode I watched since 1986 and 2006!
Talk about a curveball, this was a great episode. Probably one of the most violent that i've ever seen
I'm really glad Ravi helped her to escape. I love Ravi now.👍👍👍
Me too! I think Nish will survive and slink away with his tail between his legs and Ravi and Suki will become a force to be reckoned with. If Nish leaves, that means Eve can stay. Maybe they could have the actor who plays Nish come back as his unknown twin brother; hate to see him go as he is 😍😘😙☺️
They tried so hard to make this a misdirection & surprise that the ending was actually hilarious that they almost killed one guy then actually did kill another within a couple of minutes. 😂😂 Probably the craziest fee minutes in Eastenders history & that's saying something.
I cracked up when Keanu went down just because of how crazy it was 🤣
Phil was on fine form,,, shaaaaaaroooon 😂😂😂
I won't forget that episode in a hurry! What amazing work from all involved over the last 10 months 👍👏👏👏👏👏!!!!!
I've never seen an episode in any soap with someone going from happy to almost murdering someone. That angry look in Keanu's - WOW 😲😲😲!!!!!
Thank you so very much for this really appreciate it from New Zealand x ❤️
The maddest Christmas episode ever i dont think this can be topped 😂
So green with envy Denise attacks envious Nish 🤝. Well written
Incredible from start to finish 👏🏻
It was a great episode with Keanu being exposed and then Nish getting clobbered and Keanu getting stabbed I really enjoyed it and it was the perfect ending to a great year of Eastenders and I still think they’ll be a twist tomorrow but the overall episode was outstanding.
Yeah it will be. Any bets Nish will get framed for killing Keanu by the SIX. Suki wanted him back in prison.👍👍👍
Or Dean gets framed as he's upstairs also I feel Jack's still to come into play I'm thinking @@alisonselway5740
Oh no..hope linda doesn't serve prison time. She's a good actress and so is Denise.
Oh she’s definitely going down for this
Poor Linda@@RockApe_
She will. She's killed someone.
@@Leeann-rz3ei self defence
@@rickhardman7376no it wasn't. She could have pulled him away or just knocked him out instead of stabbing him.
OMG!! I am so glad I came back to EE this summer. This episode was so awesome!! I guessed Nish would be the body from the flashforward, and I would be happy with that, but then you had that Keanu twist.. OMG!! Amazing!!
also, dean was in the vic when all of this happened because we never saw him leave..
I am TRULY DISAPPOINTED! Why allow a wife abuser to live but a desperate father that was gaslighted be killed? Nish better be the next body tomorrow or he better be heading back to prison because this is a betrayal to the fans.
He will be either dead or going to Prison surely, I can't see any other way out For him
Because Nish in that moment wasn’t killing anyone he just wanted Suki back at the house, Keanu literally was choking Sharon to death 😭
Oh my word I can’t believe what just happened wonderful performances from them all Xx
I can’t believe my top 2 guesses got it done in. Now if one of them somehow survives, I can still get bragging rights.
Suki resuscitated Nish, unfortunately.
@@HereforthecommentsectionWhy she did that, makes no real sense! Wouldn't it suit her to have him disposed of?
The music in the background made it more epic
One of the best episodes I have ever seen, I had to rewatch it again
i was shaking and trembling throughout the whole thing ! THEE best Christmas episode in a long time !
Oh man this was epic twist and turn after another. I was 😮😮😮😮all the way through FANTASTIC EASTENDERS what an end twist I can't belive we been waiting since February I can't wait to see the rest coming ❤❤❤❤ brilliant writing best Christmas eastenders iv seen for years X
So glad that for once, there were no spoilers - just like the good ol' days 🙂🙂🙂😶😶
Good lord! Out of the frying pan, into the fire, back into the pan... and into a whole new fire! All in one episode! Whatever happened to the Christmas spirit?! It's clearly the third casualty in all this! Merry Christmas, Albert Square! 😁
Edit: Nice to see so much excitement, speculation and positive feedback in the comments for a year of riveting storytelling that lead to this climactic twist. Must feel great to be a writer on EE right now. Hats off to the producer and his team! 🎉
Keanu dies while Suki saved Nish.
Not sure why because now he’s just gonna make her life hell again, unless the women try and frame him for stabbing Keanu.
So disappointed in myself for thinking Jack was the victim.
All he did was borrow a tin opener.
@user-cd4zq4ry9k 😂
She was saying he was not going to get off that easily maybe hoping she could still get him in trouble for Eve somehow
My heart nearly fell outta my ass when Phil started getting rowdy 🤣 Glad it was Keanu. Great episode
Fantastic twist eastenders I never saw that coming
Best episode in a long time!!
I knew from the start that it was nish, because the reason why I knew is because, if you know about the trailer Kathy looked at suki so that was a hint that Itll be nish. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode what happens.
Guys I need an inhaler after tonight’s episode. Best episode!! What a build up throughout the whole year
This is, without question, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. How the cast kept a straight face throughout is a testament to their skill. And people say the BBC can't do comedy anymore... 😅
I haven’t watch easternders for years because it went terrible but I must admit this I watched and I loved it
brilliant acting from all, well done
Everybody’s dying every Christmas on eastenders 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay hands up who wasnt expecting keanu 😳
🙋🏼♂️
I suspected it was Keanu, Nish or Dean. I didn't think the murderer was Linda though. I thought it'd be Sharon, Suki or Denise.
That episode ate and left no crumbs
That was like a game of cluedo 😂
Excellent best episode for years. Linda i think called an ambulance for Nish, When they come how are they going to explain Keanu? They'll have to hide the body... and Dean might still be in the pub, and knows everything
So the cufflinks weren’t the red herring, it was the body in the vic that was the red herring
EastEnders BEST EVER Christmas Episode!! Better than Den Divorcing Angie 😂😂
But the real question is.. is Ravi dead? Because Nish hit him with a rolling pin
I have been both convinced and hoping it was Nish since February. Was starting to doubt as thought it was too obvious. 100% didn't see that coming, was awesome
I really wished Keanu and Louise would be happy together in the end but Linda never went to far killing him he completely snapped he was intent on killing Sharon its like the others weren't even in the room
Phil will come by and take care of Keanu who “left town” after finding out he wasn’t the father. Provided that everyone keeps their mouth shut …no one will go down for this. Fantastic episode!
