Fans of EastEnders were sent into a frenzy as the TV show’s official TikTok account seemed to have accidentally leaked a significant spoiler, which has since been promptly removed.
The clip, shared on Tuesday (May 20), hinted at a significant development for the beloved pub as it featured what seemed to be an auction or for sale sign adorning the establishment’s exterior.
This speculative glimpse has led viewers to believe that current proprietors Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and her mother Elaine Peacock (Harriett Thorpe) might soon hang up their aprons and step down from running the Vic.
Recent episodes had shown dramatic turns at The Queen Vic, with a February explosion claiming the lives of Martin Fowler (James Bye) and the villainous accountant Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman), reports Belfast Live.
With insurance funds settling the damages, the iconic pub was resurrected thanks to Teddy Mitchell’s (Roland Manookian) interventions.
Upon the festive reopening of their local on VE Day, Albert Square residents celebrated with a classic East End knees-up, unaware of the potential upheaval ahead – could a new landlord be on the horizon?
Social media has seen a surge of speculation among EastEnders fans, with many pondering whether Nicola (Laura Doddington) might step in to restore the legendary boozer to the Mitchell clan’s control.
A Reddit user spurred discussion by posting: “EastEnders just released a video on TikTok, and there’s an Auction sign on The Queen Vic. What do we think?.”
A second weighed in with a suggestion: “Nicola maybe?”, while a third shared a sense of foreboding: “Oh dear. Why do I have a sinking feeling it’ll go to the new Mitchells? .”
