EASTENDERS star Brian Conley has revealed that no one is safe in Walford as the festive murder looms.
In an EastEnders first, earlier this year the long-running BBC soap did a flash-forward to Christmas.

The Walford six are involved in the death
Instead of it showing a merry scene, fans of the show were shocked to learn that there is a death and six of Walford’s much-loved matriarchs are involved.
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Kathy Beale’s (Gillian Taylforth) are seen gathered over the body with Sharon in a wedding dress.
Now back in the present day the soap is slowly building up to what will surely be a climatic end-of-year episode or episodes.
In a recent interview, Brian spoke to press and teased that no one is safe.
He said: “I think we should be worried for everyone. We’re worried as actors. We genuinely are.”
Fans of his on-screen character Tom ‘Rocky’ Cotton might want to turn away now as he hinted that his character could get the chop.
“I might only last till Christmas. That’s the fun of it,” he jabbed.
In a recent appearance on Steph’s Packed Lunch the star told the talk show host that none of the cast had a clue who it was.
He said: “None of us have got a clue. I believe leading up to Christmas, there might be ten of us laying there so that it will be a big surprise to us as well.
“We’re all going to maybe film a moment where we’re all laying on the floor and then right up until the last minute, they can reveal on Christmas Day who it is.”
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday from 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
