After months of anticipation, the big reveal of EastEnders' epic storyline 'The Six' is just days away. The storyline began in February with a flashforward scene showing six Walford women gathered around a dead male body in the Queen Vic. Now, as we approach the Christmas Day episode, both the killer and the victim will finally be unveiled. The identity of the gruesome twosome has been kept a closely guarded secret, with multiple endings filmed to keep the cast and crew in the dark. Let's take a look at the potential villains and victims and their motives and backstories ahead of the big day.
Jack Branning
Jack Branning, played by Scott Maslen, is a long-standing character with a family and a returning daughter, Penny. His affair with Stacey Slater threatens his marriage to Denise Fox, and both women were seen holding weapons and covered in blood in the flashforward. Could Jack's actions lead to his demise?
Stacey Slater
Single mum Stacey, portrayed by Lacey Turner, has a history of killing. She bumped off rapist Archie Mitchell on Christmas Day in 2009. Now, she may have her sights set on Nish, who wanted her best friend Eve dead for having an affair with his wife Suki. Will Stacey team up with Suki for revenge?
Nish Panesar
Nish, played by Navin Chowdhry, may seem like a cop-out as the victim, but his death could have a significant impact on the Square. Suki and Kathy may face down Nish for his crimes and put an end to him once and for all.
Suki Panesar
Businesswoman Suki, portrayed by Balvinder Sopal, arrived in Walford pretending to have cancer to manipulate her children. When her love interest Eve disappeared, Suki suspected her husband Nish was to blame. Will she have what it takes to kill him?
Dean Wicks
Dean, played by Matt Di Angelo, has a dark history, including raping Linda Carter in 2014. Fans would support him being the victim, but his death would mean he never faces true justice for his crimes. Could his long-awaited demise explain the actor's recent return to the soap?
Linda Carter
Linda, portrayed by Kellie Bright, has faced the horror of her rapist, Dean, making a shock return. Living in terror of what he will do next, Linda is teetering on the edge. Could her fear push her to kill Dean?
Phil Mitchell
Killing off Phil, played by Steve McFadden, would be the most shocking soap death in TV history. However, with former lover Sharon covered in blood in the flashforward, Phil seems like a target. Could the BBC take such a gutsy move?
Sharon Watts
Sharon, portrayed by Letitia Dean, has a history of extreme actions when pushed. Discovering partner Keanu was behind the kidnapping of her son Albie, Sharon may be forced to kill long-time love Phil to protect her child.
Keanu Taylor
Keanu, played by Danny Walters, gives off red flags, and all signs point to him as the most likely candidate. If he is exposed as Albie's kidnapper, Sharon would have a motive for revenge. Could the blood on her dress be Keanu's rather than Phil's?
Denise Fox
Married to a killer and framed as a killer herself, Denise, portrayed by Diane Parish, may snap and kill someone. She has been blackmailed by Ravi, who seduced her and her daughter Chelsea. Will Denise seek revenge?
Ravi Gulati
Ravi, played by Aaron Thiara, has a dark side, having killed his adoptive father and framed Suki for it. He has seduced and blackmailed Denise, giving her a motive for revenge. Suki also believes he killed her lover, Eve. Will one of them be the killer?
Kathy Beale
Kathy, portrayed by Gillian Taylforth, has been repeatedly betrayed by her husband Rocky. Pushed to her limit, Kathy may be the one to strike back. Will she kill Rocky to protect herself or turn her fury on Nish?
Rocky Cotton
Rocky, played by Brian Conley, has betrayed Kathy time and again and nearly killed her grandchildren. Brian has already announced his departure from the show, making Rocky's demise a fitting end. But would Kathy really kill the man she loves?
Explosive Plots
In addition to the big Christmas Day plot, EastEnders has had a rollercoaster year. Stacey Slater joined OnlyFans to earn money, Cindy Beale returned after faking her death, Linda Carter's rapist Dean Wicks made a comeback, Rocky Cotton attempted insurance fraud, Lola Pearce-Brown tragically died, Zack and Whitney are fostering a child, Sonia and Reiss are trying IVF, and Alfie Moon is battling prostate cancer. Phil Mitchell also met his match when he tried to take on drag queen Tara Misu.
