They have taken to social media to share their theories… “I have a feeling this whole Eddie Knight storyline might be set up for another mini-whodunnit,” claimed one fan on Reddit. ” It would be an interesting set-up if Eddie is found dead. We’d assume it’s due to natural causes because of his current illness. Then we find out it was actually murder, and everyone becomes very suspicious of each other.” “I’d also thought this. I don’t really understand why they have bought Eddie back. I assume they have an ending planned,” agreed another viewer. A third fan added: “I one hundred per cent agree. It’s who killed Eddie and why? And everyone except Barney will be a suspect!” Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
