EastEnders drops another clue as to their big announcement

What are they hinting at?

EastEnders has teased they are set to make a big announcement and now they’ve dropped more details onto Twitter.

Stating that the reveal will come at 8pm tonight, we’ve only got a few hours left to find out what it will be.

The EastEnders Press account has now put out an update saying: “Because you’ve been so patient here’s a little clue. All will be revealed right here tonight at 8pm.”

On first glance it appears to be the same seven second clip the show put out last night, but this one actually has sound.

If you listen, footsteps can be heard – does this confirm the fan theory that someone major is returning to Albert Square?

Theories have already started to come in thick and fast – with someone suggesting it’s Ronnie and Roxy who faked their deaths after Max blackmailed them.

Another thinks it’ll be Kat, and someone else suggested Janine Butcher or Chrissie Watts, who some think could be James Willmott-Brown’s mistress!

Other theories include Tanya Branning returning to destroy Max, or Cindy Beale back from the dead.

There’s also the option that it could be Aunt Babe, who was speculated at the weekend to be behind the whole Willmott-Brown plot.

With the Carters facing a whopping bill from Weyland & Co, and James Wilmott-Brown hoping to steal the pub from under their noses, viewers are speculating whether Aunt Babe could be the one drip-feeding him all the information he needs for his revenge plan.

And some fans have even gone as far as to wonder whether Aunt Babe’s actually the one pulling the strings!

“I think aunt babe will return when wilmott brown takes the pub off the carters – after all she has always vowed to take revenge on them!!” wrote one imaginative fan.

And she wasn’t the only one to hope that Aunt Babe is the one behind all the disasters happening at the Vic.

“Remember when Aunt Babe left and cursed the queen Vic…think about everything that’s happening there now…” wrote another.

Even more fans were certain she had something to do with it, with one saying: “How funny would it be if aunt babe was behind the whole taking down of Walford?”

“I’m guessing evil aunt babe is yanking james’s strings somewhere along the chain,” said another.

One fan even went as far as to tweet Aunt Babe herself – or at least a spoof Twitter account in the character’s name to ask: “R u secretly plotting with Willmott Brown?”
And much to our excitement Aunt Babe replied.

She said: “Ssh! Don’t tell everyone! I am actually the one behind all this! Wilmott-Brown actually works for me but don’t tell anyone.”

When Aunt Babe left the Square, her alter-ego actor Annette Badland told Metro: “The door is open, she is vengeful, she curses them, she says she’ll be back – and I think she will be.”

We’re bursting to find out!
