EastEnders 'to air fire tragedy at Kathy's' in huge autumn spoiler

What's more, The Sun reports that the fire is deliberate, meaning we could have a potential murderer on the Square!

A source told the publication: "Bosses are staying tight-lipped about who's behind the attack and who is left fighting for their lives, but viewers can expect lots of drama as the storyline unfolds on-screen and the residents of Walford deal with the fallout of the event.

"They are part of the explosive autumn the show has lined up."

RadioTimes.com contacted a representative of EastEnders, who declined to comment on the rumour.

If true, this will likely have a big impact on the outcome of the Christmas whodunnit, as well.

At the moment, six Walford women are in the frame for the murder of a mystery man.

It's likely that one of the fearsome ladies could be wrapped up in the café fire, and as a result, seeks revenge...

Time will tell - and we'll find out on Christmas Day who's really behind the murder.
