EastEnders' Carter family in mourning as iconic characters return in filming spoiler
Filming pictures have let slip a big spoiler.
It looks like there's tragedy on the horizon for fans of EastEnders, as filming pictures have shed light on an upcoming death.
In pictures obtained by The Sun, several members of the EastEnders cast are seen in character and dressed in black at a church.
Ominously, a white coffin can be seen, with some famous faces lifting it on their shoulders ahead of a ceremony.
While no storyline details have been revealed, the pictures do show several members of the Carter family gathered at the funeral, including returning faces Nancy (played by Maddy Hill) and Lee (Danny Hatchard).
Johnny (Charlie Suff) can also be seen taking the news particularly badly and swigging from a hip flask after being escorted from the church.
Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) and Callum (Tony Clay) are also seen mourning at the funeral.

EastEnders has declined to comment on the pictures.
But that hasn't stopped fans speculating, with many fearing the worst for Linda (Kellie Bright).
Small details within the pictures, like Nancy's flamingo earrings and Elaine's pink details point towards the demise of Linda, who unashamedly loved the colour - and was her associated colour during The Six storyline.
It could also be Mick Carter's (Danny Dyer) funeral, as the character's body is currently missing after a cliff-top accident because of evil Janine (Charlie Brooks) - but that doesn't explain Linda's absence in the pictures.
Another beloved character who has been absent for a while is Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), following her departure from the soap in 2022, but she wasn't exactly known for pink.
It could all of course be a red herring, too, as EastEnders does tend to go to great lengths to keep its explosive storylines under wraps; including having killed off characters appear at their own funerals!
Needless to say, EastEnders is bound to have an exciting couple of months coming up as we wait to see whose funeral this is.
