EastEnders fans are certain they’ve identified who will be part of an upcoming car crash, especially after a cast member announced their departure from the BBC soap in the near future.
EastEnders fans believe they’ve figured out which characters will be involved in a dramatic car crash coming soon.
The BBC has given viewers a sneak peek with a trailer that shows a car losing control and crashing off a bridge into a lake.
The fresh clip shows a silver motor speeding through the night-time streets, before the journey abruptly ends as the mystery driver seemingly loses control.
While EastEnders hasn’t revealed the identity of the driver in the clip, it’s safe to say that the fate of the driver – and any other passengers – is hanging by a thread.
Fans have already begun speculating about who might be involved in the stunt, with some suggesting Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) discovers the truth about Barney Mitchell’s (Lewis Bridgeman) real parentage, reports Belfast Live.
Viewers are aware that Zack Hudson (James Farrar) is Barney’s biological father, a result of his past relationship with Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), which led to Barney’s birth.
Recently, Zack has been eager to tell his son the truth, but Nicola has been determined to keep it hidden.
After Zack survived a beating from her henchmen, Nicola took more drastic measures, revealing that she was responsible for the death of her son Harry Mitchell’s (Elijah Holloway) girlfriend, Shireen Bashar, and threatening to do the same to Zack, his ex Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), and daughter Dolly Hudson if he didn’t back off.
EastEnders enthusiasts have been speculating wildly on social media since the dramatic teases of an upcoming disaster in Walford. One viewer speculated on social media, “My theory is this is when Zack attempts to kidnap Barney and Teddy or Nicola gives chase.
“Nicola fires her gun at the car, Zack loses control, the car crashes with Barney and Zack inside. That looks like Barney in the passenger seat.”
Meanwhile, another added a chilling theory: “Shireen from the dead, chasing Nicola into the water.”
And others chimed in, with one predicting dark times ahead for Nicola: “Nicola trying to escape the consequences of her actions maybe?”.
An additional fan pondered over the ownership of the car: “I think the car belongs to Teddy. Most likely Barney’s true paternity is exposed.”
With Lacey Turner having recently announced her temporary departure from the soap, theories about Stacey Slater being involved in the tragedy have also surfaced, causing worry amongst fans.
“It’s time for myself and Stacey to take a rest and who knows what Stacey will get up to in her time away? Knowing Stacey, it will never be boring,” admitted the actress earlier in the week.
One ardent supporter declared, “If it’s Stacey we riot.”
while another beseeched the producers, “Please don’t let this be how Stacey leaves.”
Another suggested mental health struggles might play a part: “Stacey while having a bipolar episode??”
