Its not yet known who will face their grisly end in the river, but that hasnt stopped fans taking to Twitter to speculate.
One fan tweeted: I’m calling that Linda falls off the boat and dies, hammered, as Shazzas giving birth….
Another viewers tweeted in response to speculation that Ben and Callum will die on the boat: #Ballum will be fine and IF they are on the boat, it will create drama and hopefully not too much angst. I do however think that it will be Mick that dies and I really don’t want it to be.
Another viewer tweeted: Lexi is gonna push Janet off the boat next month to claim her crown. Thats who I think will die #EastEnders.
