"In a flash, everything changes."
EastEnders‘ Christmas murder plot is gathering speed, with a new teaser clip showing Sharon Watts in her wedding gown at The Vic.
Released on social media platform X, the slow-motion footage sees the Walford veteran ominously tossing her wedding flowers in the air before Stacey Slater, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Suki Panesar and Kathy Beale’s faces fade in and out.
The headline reads: “In a flash, everything changes”.

EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw had plenty to say on the matter just last month, with Digital Spy asking him whether we’re going to start noticing more clues throughout the autumn as to who’s behind the festive death-dealing.
“I think at the moment it really could be any of [The Six], couldn’t it? It could be any man in Walford. But as we head towards Christmas, it will become apparent and it will become very clear who the potential body is – not who the body actually is, but who the potential ones we’re looking at are and the ones that it could be,” he exclusively told us.
“At the moment it literally could be anyone from Winston to Grant, let’s say, but it will become more apparent on who the potential, or the potential bodies are, yes.”
Could the Christmas death mark the start of some new major storylines?
“What is quite interesting, even though they’re called like The Six, which is something that I just referred to them as when we were planning this story in the beginning…
“I think it was in the first meeting I called with the women to tell them about the story, rather than calling them by their names we called them The Six, and then these things just start – but they’re not The Six at the moment,” Clenshaw explained.
“They only really become The Six from Christmas and from the huge consequence of what happens at Christmas. Each of those women will become The Six from Christmas Day onwards.”
EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
