Bookies have made Theo Hawthorne the 5/2 favourite to be the character killed on Eastenders this year
Betting remains available on the Eastenders Whodunnit Christmas storyline where 6 characters are in the running for the murder of a male character around the festive period.
Theo Hawthorne has been at the forefront of a big storyline in the soap in recent weeks with the character stalking Stacey Slater on the show in a series of tough scenes.
It may well be that payback will be given at Christmas this year and Theo is the character that is killed with Stacey also favourite to be the Christmas Killer which could tie in perfectly.
Betway have given odds of 5/2 that Theo is killed off this year with the betting market putting him clear at the top ahead of Nish Panesar who is the 4/1 second favourite.
| Eastenders Christmas - Who has been killed? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Theo Hawthorne | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Nish Panesar | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Ravi Gulati | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Jack Branning | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Keanu Taylor | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Stacey Slater is now 6/4 to be the Eastenders Christmas Killer
Stacey Slater as we said previously has been in the midst of a stalking storyline on Eastenders in recent weeks with Theo making her life a living hell.
Slater has a 40% chance of being the Christmas Killer according to the latest betting odds which has her as the key player in the market at 6/4.
The storyline of Theo stalking Stacey has quietened down in the past fortnight though which could clear the way for it to resurface once again around Christmas.
| Which Eastenders Character is the killer? | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Stacey Slater | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Suki Panesar | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Kathy Cotton | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Denise Fox | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Linda Carter | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Sharon Watts | 7/1 | 12.5% |
What the expert says
Former Eastenders star Danny Dyer 6/1 to enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle this year
Former Eastenders actor Danny Dyer remains just 6/1 to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! with the series on the way next month.
Dyer left Eastenders last Christmas in a massive storyline where his character Mike Carter was killed off dramatically.
Fast forward 12 months later and we could see the popular actor into the jungle this year with his odds now shortening from 22/1 to just 6/1 and teasers for I'm A Celeb have aired on ITV this past week.
