EASTENDERS fans reckon they have the soap's next murder victim sussed.
It comes after Albert Square's Christmas Day murderer was finally revealed to BBC viewers as Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright, with Keanu Taylor, played by Danny Walters, the unfortunate victim.
In a shocking twist aired on Christmas Day on BBC One, the Queen Vic landlady stabbed the hunk in the back, leaving him to die at the bottom of her own stairs.
His body was then unceremoniously buried in the burned-out cafe.
Yet fans do not believe the killing will be the sole Walford crime this week.
EastEnders viewers are adamant The Six storyline, which began with a flash forward episode in February, will continue with Rocky Cotton's demise.

Back in September, the soap was left in crisis after Brian Conley, who plays Tom “Rocky” Cotton, quit unexpectedly.
Now fans think a second murder plotline could have been penned to explain his exit - particularly as the BBC soap has an extra episode tonight.
One fan mused about the additional Friday programme on X and wrote: "I have a feeling we'll have Rocky's exit tomorrow night - Karen & The Taylors left on a Friday and surely Rocky's exit must be the reason for an extra episode this week.
"We've got 5 this week we normally get 4."
Another insisted: "The six NEED to kill Rocky, he’s being way too nosey for my liking," as a third put: "Either Rocky gonna get set up or he’s the next victim."
They were referring to Brian's character spotting Sharon in her wedding dress by the cafe when he was drunk.
One then added: "I wonder if Rocky's the next victim," as a fan quizzed: "Are #TheSix going to murder rocky too?…"
A soap fan then added: "If Rocky carries on pursuing the Sharon thing, I can envisage a New Year's murder on the cards."
Earlier this week, it was speculated that the character would be The Six's victim - after a supposed clue in Lola Pierce's comeback video.
After Brian quit, an insider said: “It’s all come to a head.
“The truth is, bosses are furious.”
Brian called time on his soap stint after BBC bosses clamped down on stars appearing in pantomimes during the festive season.
