BBC Share By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019 By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019 EastEnders hints at more violence with possible Hunter suicide What WAS that gunshot? EastEnders Share By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019 By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019 EastEnders has ended with a shocking suggestion of yet more bloodshed after a festive period packed with violence. The soap has seen Stuart Highway savagely beaten, Alfie Moon pushed down the stairs, Mel Owen left for dead, and Ray Kelly run over then shot in recent episodes. Mel is already traumatised (Credit: BBC) In another violent twist, the latest episode hinted that Hunter Owen turned the gun he used as a murder weapon on himself. Hunter killed Ray (Credit: BBC) The shocking suicide would leave a grisly body count after a Christmas and New Year marked by brutal storylines. Some viewers were stunned by what they heard… Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Did Hunter shoot himself??! #EastEnders – Anthony Simms II (@DocAnthony82) 5 January 2019 so are we not gonna talk about how Hunter shot himself? #Eastenders – K (@kxri_k) 5 January 2019 Naaaaaaaaaaaahhhh #EastEnders did Hunter seriously just do that. Was I hearing things?! We had to replay that back. Pissed we haven’t got next Monday’s episode – MissFiLi (@missfili_) 4 January 2019 Others think there is another explanation – that Mel was having a flashback to Raybeing shot and that is what we heard… I don’t think Hunter shot himself, when the glass fell and smashed with the sound of the gunshot too, maybe that was Mel having a flashback to the shots in the woods. #EastEnders – ?????//15🇬🇧 | north east (@minyoongisfaceu) 4 January 2019 Classic EastEnders, guarantee Hunter hasn’t shot himself in the head. The glass smashing was real, gunshot sound was inside Mel’s head because she’s having a flashback from PTSD… Soon be talking to Lisa again about dealing with mental health & their past friendship #EastEnders – Stevie the Great 💭 (@Posistevety) 4 January 2019 Another fan had a further theory: Hunter fantasising about his next ‘kill’… #Eastenders no hunter didn’t kill himself, he has just thinking of the power he has with the gun and the revenge he can get. I think he’ll become a serial killer. – finbarr coakley (@finny_07) 5 January 2019 What do you think happened? Good to Know Share By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019 By Kaggie Hyland Jan 5 2019
