The BBC have shared a new trailer for EastEnders which showcases a car careering into a river at high-speed.

The explosive first-look clip was shared to the soap’s social media channels with the caption: “Who’s in danger?”

The video gives away no clues as to who could be inside the car as it appears to be involved in a head-on smash before going off the edge of a viaduct and straight into the river.

It led one fan to question: “Is one of the characters going to die?”

Theories among the EastEnders fan base have already run wild with many speculating that it could involve Barney and Teddy Mitchell and the revelation that Zack Hudson is his real father.

One fan wrote on X: “My theory is, this is when Zack attempts to kidnap Barney & Teddy or Nicola gives chase. Nicola fires her gun at the car, Zack loses control, the car crashes with Barney & Zack inside.”

As another stated: “Probably Teddy or Nicola. Or both.”

Moreover, some fans speculated that iconic character Stacey Slater could be involved in the smash after it was revealed that actress Lacey Turner had quit the show.

Bosses revealed that Stacey will be leaving the soap in a dramatic exit later this year so could this be the way she goes for good?

The Sun were the first to reveal that Lacey had decided to leave the programme following the birth of her third child.

The star, who first joined the soap 21 years ago, has with documentary maker hubby Matt Kay, a 5-year-old daughter named Dusty Violet, a 3-year-old son named Trilby Fox, and a baby daughter named Gipsy Olive, who was born in January, this year.

Lacey told the Sun: “It’s time for myself and Stacey to take a rest and who knows what Stacey will get up to in her time away? Knowing Stacey, it will never be boring.”

A soap insider said: “Lacey made the decision last year to take some time out from the show, she’s had a busy year both on and off screen, so it feels a good time to give Stacey a rest.

“Lacey loves EastEnders, and it’s no secret how much EastEnders love Lacey, so it’s not a question of if she will be back, but when.”
