EastEnders fans are puzzling over a Christmas clue that suddenly raised three possibilities at once. The shoe size, the date link, and the old storyline mention have pushed people to wonder if this hint is tied to Barry, whether Janine could creep back into the picture, or the show is teasing something stranger. Is a return hiding in plain sight? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Upcoming Storyline Clues In EastEnders
The conversation started when someone on X pointed at the date printed in the scene. On that day years ago, Janine had killed Barry. The soap would never reveal something without a reason. And so fans believe that something familiar could happen.
Elsewhere, the fans also saw a shoe size. The size of the shoes was eight, and it was written casually. And fans thought it was too small for a man and too big for a woman. Some argued that the size fits perfectly for plenty of women. However, others said it looks like a man because it had prints like formal shoes. Now people are wondering if it means Barry is returning.
They think he could arrive in one of Nigel’s confused moments. It’s because Nigel’s dementia storyline is pulling him into the past. And that’s when someone mentioned that Barry was in the pub during the 1995 Christmas episode. So there are chances he could return, as it fits with Nigel’s timing. Also, nowadays Nigel sees people who do not exist. Elsewhere, Janine’s name is also mentioned by some. People also think she could return as some kind of shadow or flash.
Fans Theories And Reddit Comments
People on Reddit started debating, gossiping and laughing the moment someone shared the screenshot. Some fans’ views about Barry were, “If this is not Barry showing up, then I’ll be shocked because everything in that scene points at him. “ Another said, “I keep thinking Nigel is going to picture him the same way he pictured other people from his past.”
Another added, “I swear that whole clue is shouting his name. If only he had slipped on shoes that day.” However, some fans think the shoe cannot be for Janine, and they said, “There is no way that clue belongs to her unless she suddenly has big feet.”
Many think that the date is simply a memory, nothing more. Every person has different theories to tell. Also, nobody agrees on one answer. This Christmas is definitely going to be something worth watching. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
