EastEnders teases possible Christmas flashforward death victim
EastEnders spoilers follow.
Jack Branning has been teased as the possible victim in the EastEnders Christmas flashforward mystery.
While we expect many more twists and turns in the lead-up to the festive season, the Walford detective has ended up with the cufflinks seen on the corpse in the flashforward.
The cufflinks were passed around during a poker game at Rocky Cotton's stag party in Thursday's (July 13) episode, after being put on the betting table as collateral by original owner Nish Panesar.

The cufflinks were initially won by Rocky, before he handed them over to Jack because they were too flashy for him.
Jack's unexpected poker winnings have potentially put him squarely in the line of suspicion to end up dead over Christmas, though a lot can happen between now and December.
Last month, Nish actor Navin Chowdhry hinted that fans will have to pay special attention to what happens to the cufflinks throughout the year.
"I am aware that Nish is the number one contender to die at Christmas," he recently told The Mirror. "I think the main clue is to follow the cufflinks. There's some stuff we filmed recently about the cufflinks so look out for that and follow the cufflinks."

Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter, has also promised that clues will "ramp up come September time going into the autumn" over who ends up dead.
Nish has a lot more Walford residents angry at him following Thursday's instalment, as he also goaded Rocky Cotton into betting (and losing) the tickets for his Greek honeymoon in the high-stakes poker game.
This shocking cliffhanger means Rocky will have to confess to wife Kathy Beatle that he'd lost their honeymoon on their wedding day, likely putting a damper on the nuptials.
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
