As a long-time EastEnders viewer, I can confidently say that the soap never fails to deliver a rollercoaster of emotions during Christmas. The anticipation and excitement are always palpable, especially after a year like 2023 with the explosive revelations surrounding Keanu Taylor’s death.
It wouldn’t be an EastEnders Christmas without explosive revelations.
The upcoming episode on BBC One’s soap opera faces a significant challenge, as it must match the intensity of the dramatic climax from last Christmas in “The Six” mystery. In that storyline, it was revealed that Keanu Taylor, portrayed by Danny Walters, met his demise, and the ultimate culprit was none other than the Queen Vic Pub’s landlady, Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright).
The Christmas explosion ignited a series of additional turmoil for The Six, leaving ripples throughout Walford that persist to this day.
In 2021, it appears that the Christmas narratives will remain unchanged as a surprising twist emerges: the decades-long secret relationship between manipulative character Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins) and her former stepson Junior Knight (portrayed by Micah Balfour) is about to be revealed.
EastEnders 2024 Christmas preview
1. Cindy Beale and Junior Knight’s affair is exposed on Christmas Day
Without a doubt, there could be no other big news story this holiday season than the stunning relationship scandal involving Cindy Beale and her ex-stepson, Junior Knight. Their clandestine affair will come to light in a dramatic revelation on Christmas Day.
Spectators might recall the incident where Freddie Slater, known for his love for birds but also a recorder, accidentally recorded Cindy admitting to an affair with Junior while simultaneously expressing feelings for George Knight, who is Ian Beale’s father and David Wicks’ half-brother – all this happening despite her engagement to Ian Beale!
On Christmas Day, the tape is set to be played, which could ignite chaos among the Beale and Knight clans. Shortly after, anger and blame might be hurled everywhere.
Is there any chance that relationships will endure the storms ahead, and might things escalate further, potentially leading to a more perilous situation?
2. Denise Fox gets a very different Christmas to last year
This year, it appears that Denise Fox (Diane Parish) will experience a considerably more joyful Christmas.
In the coming weeks, we’ll delve into the possibility of a renewed interest between her and the troubled Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), even though he had previously manipulated and extorted her – but let’s avoid discussing that for now.
However, our cherished D is in store for an extremely surprising Christmas gift from an unconventional source. Who could possibly be the mysterious giver?
Consequently, this upcoming Yule tide will offer Denise a significantly altered experience compared to last year’s – a stark contrast from when her marriage was disintegrating, she nearly took action against Nish Panesar, joined The Six, and helped conceal the murder of Keanu Taylor.
Is there a possibility that Denise may reignite her feelings for Ravi, or will she reconnect with Jack Branning instead? Or might we witness an unexpected twist in the storyline?
3. Ghosts from the past re-emerge
For the upcoming Christmas season, the BBC soap is hinting at a more ominous return: Residents of Walford might be visited by spirits from their past who could cause trouble.
Are we interpreting this figuratively to suggest deceased characters like Keanu Taylor (played by Danny Walters), who was murdered, or Linda Carter (portrayed by Danny Dyer), who is tormented by her ongoing sorrow over losing Mick?
Is it possible that these characters could reappear, like Patsy Palmer’s character, Bianca Jackson who remains in prison, or the malevolent Nish Panesar played by Navin Chowdhry?
4. Phil Mitchell faces loneliness and suicidal ideation
Previously suggested, Phil Mitchell is expected to experience loneliness during the upcoming holiday season, a situation foreshadowed in previous episodes.
On the Square, Walford’s character is closely associated with numerous family members, but at present, he lacks a romantic partner. Moreover, most of his children are absent from Albert Square.
As the cold, long winter evenings stretch on, Phil may find himself feeling increasingly sad and isolated, with thoughts about suicide becoming more frequent.
Could I, a sympathizer, possibly inquire if Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) – those on the Square who care for Phil – might offer him some assistance?

5. Linda Carter’s downward spiral
If Linda Carter isn’t going through a fresh, life-changing ordeal, it just doesn’t feel like Christmas – and it seems that this year is shaping up to follow the same pattern.
Following Bernadette Taylor’s troubling comeback and the revelation that her father was covertly gay and involved in a relationship during her upbringing, Linda has relapsed into heavy drinking yet again.
Over the next few weeks, it appears that Linda’s situation may worsen, causing increased worry among her family members like mum Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and friends Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and Sharon. Additionally, she could experience more embarrassment.
Is it possible for Linda to be rescued from this critical situation?
