EastEnders’ executive producer Chris Clenshaw revealed one major detail about The Six that was almost completely different.

In February, the BBC soap aired a flashforward scene which showed an unidentified male dead in The Queen Vic. Stood around the body were six of Walford’s matriarchs, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter and Suki Panesar.

With one of them tipped to be the killer, fans have been attempting to put the pieces together ever since and have picked up on every clue possible. One of the standout features about the six women is there outfits, with each person assigned a different colour to match their character.

With it being her wedding day, Sharon was in white as Suki was given the colour blue. Stacey can be seen in a bold red dress while Kathy opted for a purple ensemble. Meanwhile Linda wore her statement pink and Denise donned a green outfit.

Their outfits have been topic of speculation for months, with viewers believing it could be the key to finding out the truth about what will happen on Christmas Day. The colours have also been pivotal to the characters in recent months.

In 2022, Suki knocked Ranveer Gulati (Anil Goutam) unconscious when he attempted to sexually assault her. In the scenes, it was clear Suki had a pink dress on.

However, earlier this year, when his death was watched on CCTV, Suki appeared to have a blue dress on in the footage. During her affair with Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), Denise wore a green coat. Elsewhere Stacey sported red lingerie when she was posing for photos on Secret Cam.

Most recently, Kathy donned purple blouse when Cindy (Michelle Collins) and Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) returned to the Square. And just a few weeks ago, Sharon wore white to the doctors appointment where she discovered Keanu was not Albie’s real father.

The six actresses even wore their designated colours to the NTA’s in September. This is why viewers will be floored when they find out that the six women almost wore the same colour. Sitting down for a Q&A with Daily Star and other press, Chris was joined by Diane Parish, Kellie Bright, Gillian Taylforth, Lacey Turner and Letitia Dean as they discussed the highly-anticipated Christmas episode.

After admitting the prep for this festive period started more than 18 months ago, Chris revealed: “At one point there was an idea that they were all going to be in different shades of red. But then it just didn’t feel right for various reasons. So we went for individual colours that suit their characters.”
