All you East Enders fans out there must surely have theories on who was Archie Mitchell’s assassin. Certainly many had the motive and many had the opportunity. As the plot thickens and the final revealing of the killer becomes imminent, Paddy Power is offering live betting opportunities on the outcome and to boot is throwing in a free bet of £50.00. All this week East Enders is broadcasting special episodes to mark its twenty fifth anniversary.
The final show on Friday will be broadcast live, which is remarkable for a modern day soap opera. It will be in this live broadcast that the villain will finally be unmasked. At the moment there is only a few people in the world who knows the answer and one of those is the show’s producer Diederick Santer and he is not telling anybody except to say that there have been three big clues. These were in the episode broadcast on Christmas Day, another a little later and another that is very revealing but he has refused to say when it happened.
Of course there have been many red herrings too. In order to keep the secret a number of alternative versions of the episode are in rehearsal and none of the cast or crew will know what version will be used for the final broadcast until just before it is about to go out. With Paddy Power you can bet during the course of this live episode. Currently the favourite is Ryan Malloy at 4/1, no doubt to avenge the way Archie treated Janine Butcher. Second favourite is Sean Slater at 9/2 followed by Stacey Slater at 6/1, Ben Mitchell at 8/1, Ronnie Mitchell at 8/1 and Bradley at 10/1, but if you want to take an outside chance, then Dot Branning is available at 100/1. Hint: We have reviewed the murder episode and believe it was carried out by somebody with long blonde hair…
