It looks like one long-standing Eastenders character will be killed off

Eastenders has a very dramatic week in store for its viewers and it all kicked off last night.

If you were watching, you'll know the gas explosion that happened at the Walford in Bloom event left Stacey Fowler in a critical condition and there were also questions about whether Phil Mitchell would survive. However, there's another storyline that's come to the fore too as Jane has discovered that Steven Beale has been cheating on his girlfriend, Lauren Branning, with her sister Abi. Jane found out that Max Branning, Lauren's father, has also been involved in Steven's scheming and so, she confronted him. See below for a clip from last night's episode.

*TONIGHT* Jane confronts Max, but is that really wise?! ?

However, EE fans are now convinced that Jane is in danger and either Max or Steven will kill her because she's figured out what they've been planning.

I think Max is going to find a way to murder Jane during all the chaos and blame it on the gas explosion #Eastenders
