The death is a mystery although reports suggest that it is not a central character.
Upcoming tragedy in Walford
A source told the publication: “There’s going to be tragedy in Walford.
“Execs had a number of meetings about the storylines they wanted to do this autumn and it was decided it was the right thing to kill someone off.
“They think it will be a good way to keep viewers hooked. And it will keep things fresh.
“It’s not one of the central characters. But, as with any death on EastEnders, it will be a big moment for the fans.”
The funeral is not in connection to the upcoming shock death happening next week on the soap.
