We haven't said it in a while, but this story could potentially spoil your Christmas... Well, it wouldn't be Christmas on the Square without a near death experience, a surprise return of a biological parent and the reveal of an affair. This year's EastEnders Christmas special certainly disappoint.

As expected, it centred around Bobby Beale, with Sharon acting as the moral compass of the east end, and poor Jane and Ian are left petrified she'll spill about the real killer behind Lucy's death. When Denny goes missing after a bike ride with Bobby, all are on high alert. He's found a little roughed up in the commons and tells Ian he knows all about Bobby's insane behaviour. Seems Denny is a bit bitter that Bobby got away with murder and still managed to bag a new bike. Things take a dire turn when a boozed-up Phil crashes his car and one resident of the square ends up in critical condition. Elsewhere Stacy promises Shabs that Kush is not her baby daddy.
