EastEnders spoilers: Fans in TURMOIL as they work out who was KILLED… Did you?
EASTENDERS literally ended with a bang tonight as the highly-anticipated gas explosion finally rocked Albert Square - and fans think they know who was killed off.
As Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden) stood examining the gas works on the Square, a timely explosion disrupted his serenity.
Although he was seen lying apparently dead in a pile of rubbish, fans think they're onto a potential red herring from the soap's bosses.
Clearly in disbelief, fans flocked to Twitter to share their Phil theories, with one posting: "Well if Phil can survive being shot by Lisa, I guess the explosion is nothing."
Another added: "Phil Mitchell has once again been caught in the blast. I'm sure he'll be fine guys - he's a cat with 9 lives."
A third chimed in: "Phil can't be dead, he's like a cat and has 9 lives."
With bosses confirming that at least one character would bite the dust in this week's dramatic story, eagle-eyed viewers spotted that Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was caught up in the mix.
The beloved character was spotted at the heart of the Walford town after walking away from her partner, Martin Fowler (James Bye) towards the scene of the explosion.
Fans were erupting at the thought of it, with one posting: "Omg please don't tell me they're killing Stacey off."
Another noticed "Stacey hasn't got a storyline anymore", believing this to signify her upcoming death.
A third was horrified, adding: "Please please please don't kill off Phil or Stacey you just CAN'T."
EastEnders continues tomorrow on BBC One at 7.30pm.
