EastEnders fans ‘rumble’ devastating twist to come after Queen Vic explosion that’s even deadlier

EastEnders viewers watched as the Queen Vic burst into flames in tonight’s episode of the BBC soap, however some are convinced that it won’t be the only tragedy to hit the Square

Walford went up in flames in tonight’s episode of EastEnders, with Reiss Colwell crashing his car into the Queen Vic and causing a gas explosion.

With the pub collapsing and the flames getting higher with many Albert Square residents trapped inside, Ian Beale and George Knight watched on in horror after being thrown to the ground by the explosion.

The big stunt is to mark EastEnders’ 40th anniversary, culminating in a live episode on Thursday which will see Denise Fox pick either her husband Jack Branning or lover Ravi Gulati.

EastEnders has teased that not everyone will make it out of the fire alive as Sonia Fowler goes into labour and trapped residents try to escape – however, fans think that the explosion won’t be the only tragedy to hit Walford this week.

After watching the pub collapse during the explosion in tonight’s episode, some fans are convinced that we’ll see the bridge collapse in the aftermath – causing a train to crash in a deadly accident. Viewers took to social media to point out that train noises had been heard a number of times over the last few episodes, which could potentially be a clue.

“The train sounds??? #eastenders,” one fan wrote. While another said: “Did we ever find out what happened with the train stuff that was being teased around the time of Christmas/New Years?? #Eastenders does anyone remember??”

Meanwhile, another viewer retweeted a teaser for the 40th anniversary special that featured Walford East Station, writing: “Why was it so focused on the train station? #EastEnders.”

Tuesday night’s episode saw Cindy Beale’s attacker finally revealed, as her mother-in-law Kathy admitted to trying to kill her. In captivating scenes, Kathy explained her reasoning for hitting Cindy over the head with a shovel, admitting that she wanted payback after Cindy cheated on Ian.

“I thought anything could happen, his heart but you know what, at least you were gone. At least he was safe from you,” she said. “Oh no – there you were, traipsing past the house. Back,” she said.
