EastEnders fans are talking again after spotting the cast filming at Bushey Church. The photos started doing the rounds online, and everyone’s guessing what it could be this time. Some say it’s a funeral, others think it’s another big twist the show is hiding. The shoot happened on October 28, and people are already linking it to Nigel’s storyline. Keep scrolling to know more.
Nigel’s Death And The Church Shoot In EastEnders
When the photos from the Bushey church shoot were released, fans went crazy on social media. Some of them think that the scenes could show Nigel’s funeral. And multiple hints could prove it true. Some people were there while the shooting happened. They said many sombre-faced and serious-looking cast members were dressed in black. It could be guessed that something tragic has happened on the soap.
We have seen Nigel in many emotional moments before, too. However, there are whispers that Nigel will die soon, and this talk has been heard for long weeks. However, if these pictures are really from his funeral, it would be one of the most heartbreaking chapters in Walford. Some fans quickly reminded that this was the same church where past funerals had taken place. It was also used for Phil and Kat’s wedding day in 2023 and Peggy and Archie’s big day a few years ago.
However, many of them also think that it could be connected to the Christmas storylines. The BBC soap films holiday episodes months before they air. And even people noticed that the place was decorated nearby. Now they believe it could be a big festive twist. One user jokingly said that this church has seen more weddings and funerals than any other location.
But still Nigel’s name was being discussed again and again. His character has seen many struggles and many ups and downs. And if this is his exit from the soap, fans will not be able to take it. It will be an emotional goodbye to a character whom fans grew up watching.
Fans’ Theories And Reactions
After those pictures from the Bushey church were leaked, fans have been all over social media. One said, “I’m not emotionally ready for Nigel’s death.” Another said, “Yes, his death and funeral are going to be hard to watch.” Many even agreed that the scenes look more serious to be anything other than a funeral.
However, some fans think that it could be a wedding instead, “It’s mine and Max’s wedding,” one joked. Another replied,” Yes, I support this.” Elsewhere, others couldn’t forget that something big and sad was coming ahead. One comment read, “ Wedding, funeral or Christmas? Whatever it is, they’re definitely setting up a huge episode.”
By the end of the discussion, fans were convinced that Nigel’s funeral was the explanation. “Funeral or wedding, “ one writes, “but my guess is it’s definitely Nigel.” Elsewhere, fans can’t wait to see the shoot on screen. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
