Seven male characters have been unveiled as the potential dead body on the floor of the Queen Vic this Christmas in EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap is building towards the unveiling of who will die on Christmas Day<\/a> and who will be the one to be responsible for their death.<\/p>\n

Back in February, a flash-forward showed six matriarchs<\/a> \u2013 Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) \u2013 standing over a dead man\u2019s body in the Queen Vic on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

Now the soap has promoted seven potential deaths for the big day \u2013 Jack Branning<\/a> (Scott Maslen), Nish Panesar<\/a> (Navin Chowdhry), Dean Wicks<\/a> (Matt Di Angelo), Phil Mitchell<\/a> (Steve McFadden), Keanu Taylor<\/a> (Danny Walters), Ravi Gulati<\/a> (Aaron Thiara), and Tom \u201cRocky\u201d Cotton<\/a> (Brian Conley).<\/p>\n

All of these men have connections to the leading ladies of Christmas Day and each has given at least one of the ladies a motive to kill.<\/p>\n

Jack<\/strong> has been having a troubled marriage with wife Denise of late but has grown closer to Stacey recently<\/a>, could this spell further disaster for him? Also, Jack has made enemies of the Panesars too.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nish<\/strong> has made enemies of all the women at one point or another but the person with the biggest grudge is his unhappy and abused wife Suki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Dean<\/strong> returned to Walford on Halloween<\/a> and has been tormenting his former sister-in-law Linda ever since, having previously raped her in 2014.<\/p>\n

Phil Mitchell<\/strong> has connections to most of the women in The Six but, this Christmas, his ex-wife Sharon is hiding a huge truth from him and her fianc\u00e9 Keanu<\/strong> \u2013 Albie Watts is Phil\u2019s biological son and not Keanu\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How will Phil react if he learns the truth? And how will Keanu react?<\/p>\n

Additionally, Keanu is hiding that he was behind the faked kidnapping of Albie<\/a> in recent weeks. If discovered, could this drive Sharon to kill?<\/p>\n

Similar to his evil father Nish, Ravi<\/strong> has given multiple women reasons to hate him this year, most of all being former love interest Denise and his stepmother Suki who he led to believe had killed his adopted father Ranveer Gulati and then let her son Kheerat Panesar take the fall.<\/p>\n

Finally, former conman Tom \u201cRocky\u201d Cotton<\/strong> (Brian Conley) set fire to Kathy\u2019s Cafe in an insurance scam<\/a> and unintentionally left her grandsons fighting for their lives in the latest of a long line of lies. Will Kathy finally reach her limit?<\/p>\n

Could there be a curveball of a seventh woman<\/a> or a body none of us expected? We will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
