With Christmas just weeks away, EastEnders have now released a new promo shot of the potential Christmas Day death victims.
Now, Phil Mitchell has been added to the mix, becoming one member of ‘The Seven’ men who have their fates up in the air.
Fans are fearing for the life of the soap legend and have taken to social media to demand that EastEnders protect Phil’s life.
EastEnders: ‘The Seven’
EastEnders have just released a brand new promo photo ahead of the highly anticipated Christmas Day episode.
The photo shows seven of the male characters – aka ‘The Seven’ – dressed up in suits whilst wearing those all important cufflinks.
Viewers will know that in the flashforward scene at the start of the year, the Christmas Day death victim was wearing these cufflinks.
So, who are ‘The Seven?’ The group consists of Jack, Nish, Dean, Phil, Keanu, Ravi and Rocky.
All of these characters are connected to at least one of ‘The Six’ female suspects, meaning that one of them likely pegs it this festive season.
EastEnders fans fear for Phil Mitchell ahead of Christmas
Now that Phil’s been included in ‘The Seven’ potential victims photo, fans are worried about the future of the character.
Of course, Phil’s currently at risk because he’s actually the baby daddy of Albie. He’s also just found out that Karen was the one to stage Albie’s kidnapping.
Phil’s also hiding the fact that he slept with Lola’s mum, Emma, from Kat. Fans have now demanded that the soap saves Phil despite him being a potential target for many reasons.
One EastEnders fan exclaimed: “I swear if Phil or Jack die, I’m gonna riot!!”

A second viewer wrote: “I’m telling you right now if Phil Mitchell’s the dead body EastEnders has made the biggest mistake since they killed off Ronnie and Roxy.”
Another fan added: “I would like all of these to be killed off – except Phil.”
A fourth fan commented: “Rocky, Jack and Phil better be there for bants cause I’ll be so [bleep] if it’s one of them.”
Will Phil die at Christmas?
Phil’s now a potential victim and certainly has a few enemies in Walford, with more likely to come once all secrets relating to him come out.
But, will Phil die at Christmas? Or, will another one of ‘The Seven’ end up dead instead? Or, perhaps the victim will be somebody else entirely…
