“But the Knight in armour behind Stacey would normally be him, so maybe the blood on her hands is roping poor old @mrjakedwood back to E20 only for his demise.” (sic)
Hayley Mays added: “Since the knight is behind Stacey, and Stacey and Max have history, as do Linda and Max, could Linda’s knight be Max Branning? Maybe Max Branning is the killer. #EastEnders..”
Liam Cornish said: “Waiting for Max to make his long-awaited return but have a sneaky suspicion that he may be the one lying on the floor.”
@TanyaSWISS98 theorised: “Max returns, finds out about Annie, furious at Linda for keeping it a secret, crashes the ladies xmas party and winds up dead on the floor. BAM!”
Whilst @SammyJo654- hoped: “I really hope that the ladies come together and keep the murder a secret. I hope that Max returns but isn’t the one who is dead… I love him.” (sic)
