EastEnders fans convinced real killer wasn't shown in flashforward after Sharon scene

EastEnders viewers believe there could be a character missing from the flashforward that was aired on Monday - and that this person could be a killer.

The special clip this week gave fans a glimpse into the future, as they saw a moment from Christmas Day.

In the shocking moment, six female characters are stood watching over a dead body on the floor - while the identity of the murder victim is not known.

It's been suggested that all six women - Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Suki Panesar, Denise Fox, Linda Carter and Sharon Watts - are suspects, and that one of them has killed the mystery man.

They all look shocked by what has happened, and some of them are covered in blood or scratches, while Kathy's dress is ripped and Denise is holding a broken champagne bottle.

But this could all be a lie, with nothing actually confirmed yet - and viewers now have a 10-month wait until the episode airs.

It's not been said for sure that someone is murdered, while it certainly looks like it, and it's not known what actually happens in the lead-up.

Many viewers are now convinced The Six, as they have been nicknamed, could actually all be innocent and are simply a red herring.

Some fans think there was someone else in the flashforward we didn't seen, or perhaps the real killer wasn't in the scene at all.

While some names have been thrown into the mix, others said it was Sharon's face that gave it away (BBC)

While some names have been thrown into the mix, others said it was Sharon's face that gave it away - suggesting she was looking at someone we could not see.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "It doesn't have to be one of them, though. Someone else could be the killer."

Another fan suggested: "Is max branning the killer? Linda's unexpected knight in shining armour, and a knight stands behind stacey in the flashforward."

A third hoped: "This will never happen but imagine dean returns sometime this year and makes linda’s life hell, he is the one that gets killed at christmas and the killer is….. MICK."

On there being another killer, one fan added: "I think the killer isn't any of those ladies because Sharon looked up, maybe all of them cover for the person who actually did it!"

This was echoed by another viewer who said: "still convinced none of the women in the vic on christmas day is the killer cause who the f**k is sharon looking at off screen."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
