Eastenders: Derek exit theory...
With people from his past coming after him just before Christmas and still no mention as to how Derek dies, I'm wondering could he fake his death? It does seem too soon since, "Who Killed Archie?" to have another Christmas who-dunnit and it does seem a bit too soon to kill him off, with no real build up. There would still be a funeral and also I think it would make a good storyline. Just a thought...

I wondered that too. Better still, he could frame Phil...

So long as he never returns
I'm happy what ever ends up happening to him (I'd prefer death) |

Has it even been confirmed that Derek will be murdered?
If so, it will obviously be someone close to him. I think Max would/could do it, if pushed; I initially suspected Joey (which might explain his surprisingly tearful behaviour at Derek's funeral), but he comes back to Walford after hearing of the death, so it's impossible to be him—unless his time away is a red herring. Alice or Lauren being the killer would only work, in my opinion, with Joey's involvement—either as an accomplice in the murder or walking in on the scene and helping to dump the body, cover up tracks, and so on. I do not in a million years think it will be Alfie. Then again, he and Kat have been so destroyed as characters that it probably would not surprise me if he were made a murderer. The only character I feel is more likely to do it is Max. I hope his secret is a corker to make it worth it all along! There seems to be a lot of murderous minds affecting the Branning family: Stacey killed Archie; Tanya killed her dad; her ex-boyfriend and Stacey's brother Sean killed his, plus helped her to bury Max alive; Lauren tried to kill Max; Jack was shot and almost killed; Derek has had past involvement in deaths. |

Though I think some of us Derek haters would want him to die, so he can never come back lol. But I actually wouldn't mindd if they did that, because at least it would be something different and a bit unexpected. Whodunnits are so over-done in soaps nowadays. |

Indeed. I love who-dunnits but it's too soon after Archie in my opinion. Also, if he fakes his death, he can return someday. I'm sure that would annoy quite a few members on here, "Jamie Foreman Returns To Eastenders"

I want him dead and buried, I'd hate it if he faked his death because I'm sure EE would bring him back and I don't like the character.
A brutal bloody death for Derek, please. |

A brutal bloody death for Derek, please. . So you could end up with a Sean Slater or Stacey Slatter situation where the character is still alive in the big wide world, but no chance of returning to Walford.

![]() ![]() . You make a good point about it being too soon for another whodunnit - that's the problem right there. Whodunnits have been so overdone ever since "Who Shot Phil?" - so much so that it's hard to be excited about the latest whodunnit with Derek. The only thing that's getting people excited is witnessing Derek's death and exit from the show lol. Whodunnit should be event storylines that only happen three or four years (maybe longer), not every year! |
