A blackboard to one side of the trailer carries a cryptic clue.
EASTENDERS has teased a SECOND Christmas death in a game-changing new Kathy Beale trailer.
Fans of the BBC soap are eagerly anticipating the Christmas Day episode, which will finally reveal who the mystery victim is after first being teased in a flashforward earlier this year.
EastEnders bosses are now ramping up the intrigue with new clues and trailers, with the latest teaser featuring Kathy Beale – now Kathy Cotton.
It hints a second murder could occur this Christmas, as Kathy stands and chops the heads off pink flowers with a meat cleaver before glaring into the camera.
A blackboard to one side reads : “For whom the bell tolls”.
Fans were quick to speculate what the chopping up of the flowers could mean.
One wrote on social media: “Symbolising the loss of love and devotion… Rocky’s betrayal when she finds out he caused the fire? She did say there’ll be murders before Christmas… killer Kathy??? So excited for the last part of the puzzle…”
Another added: “SHE CUT ROSES? ROSE? CINDY??”.
A third tweeted: “I thought they was Roses – as in she wants to kill Cindy/“Rose”, but I think they’re tulips lol. #EastEnders They’re pink tho. Linda? Does Kathy kill Dean to protect Linda?”
Five trailers have been released so far, featuring one of the six characters involved in the Christmas storyline, however, Kathy’s is the only one to feature a potential murder weapon.
The other women involved in the storyline are Sharon Watts, Suki Panesar, Linda Carter, Stacey Slater and Denise Fox.
At present, Kathy has no idea that husband Rocky is the one who caused the fire at the cafe in a bid to get a huge payout from the insurance after getting himself into debt.
The blaze left Kathy’s grandson Peter Beale in intensive care after he rushed into the building to try and save his brother Bobby.
EastEnders airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
