Christmas Tease Sends EastEnders Fans Wild
The official EastEnders Instagram account recently shared a post with fans. In it, a Christmas gift was wrapped and was slowly opened in a series of pictures. In each image, something was hidden that revealed more of what was inside. However, fans spotted a Christmas tree with a glimmering earring that hung from the bow.
Elsewhere, Pat Butcher was recognised for her huge earrings. Pam St Clement played Pat Butcher. However, the character was killed in the soap. But quite unexpectedly, she appeared in a short scene in 2016. She returned as Pat’s ghost when Peggy Mitchell’s final episode happened.
However, fans are wondering how she will return from the dead now. The teaser could be symbolic. It might only represent her memory or spirit during the festive season. However, some believe it could be bigger, like a twist. The soap may bring familiar faces back. One fan wrote, “Pat’s energy has never left the Square. Maybe it’s time she comes home.” While another wrote, “Christmas is the time for miracles. Maybe we’ll see her again.”
Pat Or Linda Carter? Fans Split Over Theories.
The majority of the viewers are convinced that those earrings belong to Pat. However, some still have doubts. They believe it could also point towards Linda Carter’s return. One fan commented, “LINDA’S BACK!” And another wrote, “Welcome home, Linda Carter!”
Kellie Bright plays Linda, and she left the Square earlier this year. After she sold The Vic to the Slaters, she went on a cruise. And ever since, the fans have been eagerly waiting for her return. Elsewhere, as we know, even Max Branning has returned to Walford. And he is the biological father of Linda’s daughter, Annie. However, Max is unaware of the secret.
One fan wrote, “I bet the earrings are hers. Same big, bold energy like Pat.” The BBC soap wants to have a massive Christmas, as revealed. The soap’s executive producer Ben Wadey said, “This Christmas we’re looking past, present and future, so we’ve got a lot og stuff that we’re very excited to share with the audience.”
Supporters are in suspense and really want to find out which one of the two characters, Pat Butcher or Linda Carter, is going to come back. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
