An argument between Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and estranged partner Cindy (Michelle Collins) was ensuing on Bridge Street, following his mum Kathy’s (Gillian Taylforth) confession that she was the one who attacked her on Christmas Day.
Noticing the car speeding down the road, she pushed Ian in front of it, with Reiss swerving and slamming into The Vic’s barrel store – and straight into several gas bottles.
A number of EastEnders legends are facing death after The Queen Vic pub exploded in tonight’s episode.
Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton) – who caught the bouquet – excitedly told her ex-husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) that she wanted to wed again, but he later told Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) that he wasn’t sure whether he shared the same sentiment.
With the show celebrating 40 years on air this week, it was only apt that at least one of the show’s icons should meet a ghastly end… but it seems like the fatalities won’t stop with the pub.
