“They think it will be a good way to keep viewers hooked. And it will keep things fresh.

“It’s not one of the central characters. But, as with any death on EastEnders, it will be a big moment for the fans.”

The funeral is not in connection to the upcoming shock death happening next week on the soap.

There will soon be a horrifying turn of events when escaped killer Hunter Owen takes Walford residents hostage in the Queen Vic.

The week of episodes will take place over one dramatic day as Hunter loses control and the gun goes off, wounding one resident.

But when he quickly grows even more unhinged, Hunter takes drastic action and at least one death will happen before the end of the week’s dramatic episodes. The Walford residents will face serious danger as the scenes unfold.
