In tonight’s shocking EastEnders cliffhanger (for Tuesday, September 2), a gunshot rang out across Albert Square – but who’s been shot?
This came as the vicious rivalry between Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati escalated, causing a fight to break out between the two men.
As Jack and Ravi wrestled on the ground, both men reached out for the firearm. But, as they fought over the gun, it went off.
EastEnders spoilers for tomorrow have revealed that one unlucky resident’s life will hang in the balance – but who’s been shot? Join us as we take a look at all the likeliest victims.
Zoe and Kat were the two closest parties when the gun went off. Not only that, but the gun also fired in their direction, making a Slater woman the most likely victim.
As the episode ended, Zoe was determined to leave Walford again – so what better to convince her to stick around for a permanent return than her mum suffering a terrible injury?
Or, instead, the bullet might have struck Zoe. A grievous (but not too grievous) injury would certainly be enough to incapacitate her, making her unable to leave the Square as she’d planned.
The soap has teased that the majority of Zoe’s secrets will be revealed tomorrow. Will she spill her guts from a hospital bed?
Where was Howie when the gun went off? He’d not long fled The Vic after finding himself unable to go through with Patrick’s Best Man speech.
We know that he’s out there on the streets of Walford. Might he have been lurking near the Square, or on his way back into the pub? And if so, will he survive? With rumours spiralling that Howie might leave the soap this year, could he be killed off?
Jack and Ravi’s confrontation came about after she told Jack that she’d witnessed her former lover leaving their home. Furious, Jack had stormed off to confront Ravi.
Presuming that Denise followed, she might have been nearby when the gun went off.
