EastEnders viewers have spotted a potential major spoiler in a behind-the-scenes video posted by the BBC show. The TikTok clip, featuring actors Aaliyah James, Elijah Holloway, Laura Doddington and Sophie Khan Levy, shows a 'for sale' sign outside the Queen Vic pub, prompting speculation about new owners.
The pub, recently reopened after an explosion earlier this year, is currently run by Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and George Knight (Colin Salmon). Fans questioned the timing of the sale, with one commenting: 'Why is the Vic for sale when they've only just reopened it?'
The BBC playfully acknowledged eagle-eyed fans in an Instagram post showing actors Tameka Empson, Emma Barton and Elijah Holloway sitting in front of the auction sign. The caption teased: 'Desperately searching for clues in Behind The Scenes #EastEnders content…'
Viewers have speculated on potential new landlords, with suggestions including Suki and Eve, Kat and Alfie, Sharon and Phil, or even returning character Max Branning. However, some fans expressed reluctance at Max's possible return, with one writing: 'Hopefully not Max as the new owner.'
