Stacey Slater favourite to be the killer in EastEnders' Christmas whodunnit

Stacey Slater has become the favourite to be the killer in EastEnders ' Christmas whodunnit.

A special flashforward scene aired on the soap on Monday which showed that a murder is going to be committed in Walford.

Six characters were stood around a mystery dead body, with one of them tipped to be the killer.

Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Denise Fox, Sharon Watts and Linda Carter are the suspects, however it is not known who dies as of yet.

It is known that it is a male character that could either be a groom or a wedding guest, as they are wearing a suit and cufflinks.

But it seems that one person in particular is thought to be the killer.

According to Ladbrokes, Stacey is the favourite so far with odds of 3/1.

Meanwhile, Denise Fox and Linda Carter are priced at 7/2 apiece, with the bride, Sharon Watts, a 4/1 shot ahead of Kathy Beale and Suki Panesar (both 5/1).

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "One of The Six has blood on their hands, and the early betting suggests it's Stacey who'll be revealed as the Christmas killer."

Kat Slater and Phil Mitchell are scheduled to tie the knot at Christmas this year, but fans have been thrown by the fact Sharon is wearing a wedding dress in the flashforward.

In an episode that aired this year, Phil was wearing a suit and a cufflink which looks a lot like the one shown in the flashforward.

Fans think this could be a major clue and that Phil could be the character killed off or that he may lend someone the cufflinks.

Taking to Twitter one viewer said: "look at the shirt & cufflink is it Phil who dies?"

As another said: "Looked like Phil on the floor with either cheetah-print or amber cuff links."

A third fan wrote: "If they've zoomed in on a cufflink that Phil has repeatedly clearly worn onscreen - and it actually is Phil in the end, then they are the most advanced trolls in TV Land and I doff my cap to them."
