Cindy Beale could be the Christmas murderer on EastEnders, according to one soap fan.

Eagle eyed soap fans have been desperate to work out what happens this Christmas in Albert Square when one man dies in shocking scenes. The Six women – including Kathy, Sharon, Linda, Denise, Stacey and Suki – somehow all involved, but did they murder him or is there someone else involved in the big storyline, and could it be Cindy Beale?

Cindy made her huge return earlier this year, with fans shocked to find out she was actually alive and had not died in prison as first thought. She returned alongside her partner Ian Beale, with Cindy getting the shock of her life when she realised that her partner George Knight was there with their daughters Gina and Anna, who she had given birth to when she was known as Rose Knight.

Taking to Reddit, one viewer gave their theory ahead of the big reveal: “So the six all have their own colour. We know that it’s established. The cufflinks are orange, a colour none of the six wear. Should we be looking at the outfits the men are wearing and looking out for anyone wearing orange? Just with the colours being so heavily featured.”

Another fan agreed with their suggestion, writing: “Gina wears a hell of a lot of orange but I can’t say I’ve noticed any of the men wearing it other than Felix?” as another chimed in to share: “That would be an unexpected twist. I’m going to keep my eyes on everyone now.” The conversation prompted one fan to guess Cindy was somehow involved in the Christmas storyline.

“I have a theory that Cindy kills Dean who has been caught trying to hurt Gina (or Anna) and possibly for Linda too. Cindy was Rose. Cindy lives at number 45 Albert Square, also known as “Rosedene”. Rosedene. Rose kills Dean. CINDY kills Dean,” they wrote, as another viewer replied: “I am 100% here for this theory. It can be Cindy’s ‘redemption’.”

Whatever happens this Christmas, there’s no doubt it will cause huge ramifications that will see the BBC soap well into the New Year, as secrets are revealed, loyalties are likely to be tested and the truth will be unmasked.
