EastEnders spoilers: Hunter Owen opens fire inside the Vic with deadly consequences
ESCAPED killer Hunter Owen will open fire in the Queen Vic pub in EastEnders tomorrow night and the consequences are deadly.
EastEnders is about to air a shocking gun siege that will see at least one character lose their life.
Hunter Owen – who’s played by Charlie Winter – is armed, dangerous and after revenge on Jack Branning after the former cop shopped him to the police for shooting Ray Kelly earlier this year.
But with several of the Walford residents in the pub along with Jack, there are a few characters who could get caught up in the crossfire.
In last night’s episode fans saw a furious Hunter sneak into the Queen Vic barrel store as he discovered Jack was at the pub.
His mum, Mel, was horrified when she realised that Hunter had taken her gun and gone after her ex.
We know that Mel – played by Tamzin Outhwaite - is bowing out of the BBC soap in the near future.
Could Hunter shoot his own mum in a tragic twist of fate?
There has also been some fan speculation that Whitney Dean could be the one killed in the shoot-out following her wedding.
The barmaid - who is played by actress Shona McGarty - was determined to go through with her marriage to Callum Highway, but got cold feet at the altar.
Will her guests still head to the reception at the Vic?
It was also revealed back in July that Hunter would be killed off in his explosive return storyline.
A source told the that Hunter would be murdered shortly after returning to the show.
The insider revealed: “It's a big decision to kill off a major character, but producers are confident this will be great telly. Hunter’s death is going to rock Albert Square."
The source added: "There will be plenty to keep viewers hooked. Hunter’s final weeks on Albert Square will be anything but dull."
