The EastEnders set was lit up in Christmas lights on Thursday night as filming for the soap began.
Viewers of the soap opera believe they have already guessed the possible twists to come, and have taken to social media to speculate whether there will be a death, a sad exit or several secrets exposed.
As fans predicted the future of some cast members, Walford was transformed into a winter wonderland as a large tree was placed in the middle of the square and festive lights illuminated the stage.
Outside the famous Queen Vic, two large nutcrackers sit beside the pub’s double doors and fairy lights hang delicately around the structure of the building.
Several houses in the Albert Square complex have also had a dazzling festive transformation with coloured lights.
The set of Eastenders was lit up in Christmas lights on Thursday night as filming for the soap began.
Viewers believe there are some obvious plot lines developing and all sorts of chaos could ensue on Christmas Day.
One theory is that it could be the end for soap legend Phil Mitchell, played by Steve McFadden, after his recent dramas.
From his clash with his family to his showdown with Reiss Colwell, it’s been a busy time for Phil.
Recently, some scenes hinted at a sad storyline for the Walford icon as he was shown crying and clearly lonely, leading fans to predict a depression storyline.
One fan speculated: “I think it has something to do with Phil leaving.”
As for other exits, fans believe that villain Nish Panesar will be killed off.
His departure was apparently confirmed earlier this year when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Nish revealed he needed a heart transplant to survive, before recently adding that he did not have long to live.

In addition to predicting Nish’s demise, some fans have wondered if we could expect a sad twist to Linda Carter’s exit.
The alcoholic nearly died in a recent episode after drinking again, and now some fans believe she could end up leaving the show a year after killing Keanu.
However, fans speculated that she will end up killing again, as one fan posted: “I can see Linda killing again.” ‘The Six have been revealing themselves since last Christmas because they haven’t been able to come up with a decent storyline.’
Another theory is that Mick Carter will finally return to the show, two years after his sad Christmas “death.”
The BBC soap’s Christmas episodes also often feature big revelations and fans believe two big secrets will come to light this year.
Viewers are speculating that the festive period will be when Cindy Beale and Junior Knight’s romance comes to light, causing chaos.
Fans also believe that Reiss Colwell’s lies and his murderous secret will also be revealed at Christmas after he killed his ex-wife Debbie.
