EastEnders fans convinced Martin actually shot TUBBS and faked Keanu’s death in shock twist
EASTENDERS fans are convinced Martin Fowler actually shot Charlie 'Tubbs' Savage and faked Keanu Taylor's death in shock twist
The latest theory viewers come up with is that the good guy gone bad killed his business partner instead of gunning down Keanu.
It comes after an explosive Christmas Day episode that led fans to believe Martin had murdered Keanu after his affair with Phil's wife Sharon was exposed.
Since then, Tubbs has been missing on-screen and a teaser trailer has spread doubt about whether Keanu really is dead.
Tubbs' disappearance has made fans suspicious, with Ben previously promising to get him "off the scene".
Fans pointed out he is a threat to Martin because he can link him to his recent bad boy behaviour.
One said: "The shock on Ben’s face when he said 'you actually went through with it' b’cos it definitely wasn’t Keanu.
"I may be the only one to think this but... do you think it’s Tubbs that they got rid of? #EastEnders."
Another added: "And what did Ben mean when he told Martin: 'I can get Tubbs off the scene' Before Martin starts talking about 'murder' and 'killing someone', Ben says: 'and I need a person'.
"Odd phrase. Then he talks about Keanu being a dead man. What did he really ask Martin to do? #EastEnders."
Someone else wondered: "Did Martin really “shoot” Keanu “dead”? Or was it Tubbs?"
A viewer claimed: "Keanu alive but Tubbs is the one dead. Though, not sure whether it was Martin or Keanu who killed him, and whether or not Ben is in on the twist.
"My #EastEnders prediction. Damn fine Christmas Day ep. @bbceastender."
Another said: "#EastEnders I think Martin shot Tubbs and that’s why he was crying at the end."
The countdown is on to find out what really happened on Christmas Day - but fans will have to wait until New Year.
A trailer showing a flashback episode has hinted that Keanu is alive - and Linda helped fake his death.
The video shows the message "family means everything..." before the words, "lies, secrets, giving, taking and revenge" flash up on screen.
Viewers then see Keanu alive, Louise looking shifty and Linda standing next to the grey van.
Martin is seen telling Ben "it's done" and ordering him to sort out his problem.
EastEnders was the fourth most-watched show on Christmas Day with 5.47million viewers.
