EastEnders and Christmas never bring calm. Fans feel it in their gut that this year is going to be rough. There is talk about someone dying. Perhaps another person is walking out for good. And whispers of a romance, one nobody even thought was coming. Reddit is full of noise, theories flying everywhere, each one darker than the last. Keep scrolling to know more.
Zoe’s Return Could Tear Through The Slaters
The Slaters might be standing right in the middle of this storm. Zoe has returned after twenty years, and the cracks are already there. Kat is still in the dark, while Alfie and Stacey know the truth. When it finally hits her, fans think everything will blow apart.
Nigel Bates is another name fans keep talking about. He came back last Christmas after twenty-six years, and people loved it. But now his dementia is worse. Fans fear it could be the end of his time on the show. One fan wrote, “I can see another Dot and Ethel moment between him and Phil. I hope I’m wrong. Nigel has been amazing.” Another fan added, “If Nigel dies, Phil will break, and I’ll break too.”
Max Branning’s Return Could Bring A Fight
Max Branning never walks in quietly. He drags trouble with him every single time. His son Oscar is already around. Max still has no clue about Linda. That short fling gave them a daughter, Annie.
Fans believe the storyline is heading straight for a major fight. “Max will go for Annie. That’s just him,” one viewer said. Another argued, “No court will pick him over Linda. He has failed every family he has ever had. Jack won’t back him. Denise will stop it quickly.”
No one knows how Zoe’s return, Nigel’s fight, and Max’s mess will smash together. But everyone agrees on one thing. Christmas in Walford is going to hurt. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
