Nish Panesar stuffed Denise Fox but Suki saved his life
Sharon Watts, Linda Carter, Denise Fox, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater and Kathy Beale took center stage in one of the biggest storylines the soap has ever produced.
The potential victims are listed as Phil Mitchell, Jack Branning, Dean Wicks, Rocky Cotton, Nish Panesar and Ravi Gulati.
Now tonight viewers learned the truth about who died and how, but there was a shocking twist.
Keanu Taylor was brutally stabbed while trying to kill Sharon Watts, while Nish Panesar was hit in the head with a bottle.
Earlier in the episode, all Six found themselves in various dramatic circumstances.
Sharon Watts’ wedding day was interrupted by ex Phil Mitchell.
A disappointed Bernie Taylor told him that groom Keanu was actually behind the kidnapping of Albie’s son.
A horrified Sharon realized that he was telling the truth at the altar and slapped Keanu, blood on his dress.
And she blurts out in a rage that Albie isn’t actually Keanu’s biological son – just in time for his actual biological father, Phil, to hear everything.
She was brought back to the Vic by Kathy Beale – who was on the run from her estranged husband Rocky Cotton – and Linda Carter.
They were soon joined by Denise Fox who couldn’t bear to be around her cheating husband Jack after he finally admitted he was hooking up with Stacey Slater.
Meanwhile, Stacey was desperately trying to protect Suki Panesar after her husband Nish was released from custody and went home to attack her.
He lured her back home using his son Vinny and pretending that Nugget had collapsed and needed emergency help.
But once she was there, Nish was ready to hurt her.
His son Ravi stepped in to restrain Nisha so that Suki could escape his wrath.
She ran to find Eve – who was hiding with Jack Branning – and bumped into Stacey, the two of them running towards Vic seeking safety from Nish.
Nish knocks out his son Ravi and goes on the hunt for Suki – determined to take revenge.
Meanwhile at the Vic, Sharon confronted Phil – who surprisingly didn’t want a fight.
Instead, he asked her to let him meet his son – and Sharon was horrified at the thought after losing her son Denny.
But she agreed and Phil left the Vic, but there was another threat lurking upstairs.
Viewers watched as Dean Wicks snuck into the Vic while George was distracted by the lockup.
He later appeared upstairs when Linda went to her kitchen to secretly drink some vodka that had fallen off the wagon earlier this year.
He stood menacingly over her in the doorway, watching her as she drank.
Dean stalked her through the pub as Linda ran downstairs in a panic to find the back door open.
She made it downstairs where Suki discovered Nish was looking for her – but the women convinced her to invite Nish to the pub so they could all confront him.
“If you really want to talk, I’m in Vic, let’s talk,” she said.
Nish confronted The Six where Suki assumed she was safe.
“Merry Christmas ladies,” he said. “What a pleasant surprise.”
She told him: “I’m leaving you, Nis.” Our marriage is over and I want you out of our house. I’m not leaving, you’re leaving.”
Nish refused to listen, and the other women supported him, and Nish was outnumbered and outgunned.
His threats and insults bore no fruit, so they ended up laughing at him, and then he tried to pray – but that didn’t work either.
“I can’t look at you,” Nish said as he grabbed her and became violent.
An argument ensued and he tried to kidnap Suki, but the women protected her, and Denise smashed him over the head with a bottle.
But while Suki was trying to save Nish’s life, Keanu appeared and caught them.
He tried to demand Albie – but Sharon confronted him and the other women backed her up.
While Sharon told him some home truths, Keanu began to strangle Sharon and Linda was forced to take a knife and stabbed Keanu in the back.
He collapsed in a pool of blood while he started breathing again in the Niš pub.
Fans were in shock after the big episode and could barely cope.
One wrote: “What a Christmas episode of Eastenders that was, I’m gutted.”
Another said: “Quality British TV. Eastenders, you’ve nailed it once again! They raise the bar where others cannot reach!”
Another added: “#EastEnders I HAVE NO WORDS 😧 I SCREAMED. I HEAVED A HEART. I SCREAMED. Best Christmas episode in years.”
