EastEnders has had quite the year, from huge secrets exposed, emotional moments, exits, new arrivals and even a major flashforward to Christmas Day 2023. The BBC soap is on a roll and isn't showing signs of slowing down anytime soon in the lead-up to autumn. There's still so much to be revealed, and so many theories waiting to be confirmed or ruled out. Romances are at threat, exits are teased – and there's some big returns thought to be weeks away. Autumn spoilers are yet to be confirmed by the BBC soap, but with baby drama, family feuds and all sorts tipped to air, the next few months look set to be as chaotic as the first half of the year. Here's the possible storylines hitting our screens this autumn... EastEnders' Theo's fate 'sealed' as fans rumble how he'll be exposed in twist EastEnders spoilers for autumn on the BBC soap tease huge scenes ahead ( Image: BBC) Alfie Moon's cancer battle Viewers recently saw Alfie Moon head to the hospital after experiencing pains. Tests led to him being told he may have prostate cancer, with him set to undergo an MRI and scans. The BBC soap has confirmed the loved character will be diagnosed with the disease in a "vital" and "emotional" storyline that continues across the autumn. Cindy and the Beales' return Cindy Beale will make her long awaited return to Walford at the end of this month, while her son Peter Beale will return prior to this. Cindy's husband Ian will no doubt follow her home, as Cindy shocks Walford – with residents currently believing she died in 1998. Of course the Knights know her as Rose Knight, and they and the Beales are about to collide. The Knights will have plenty of questions but they are not alone, as Walford residents will also want to know why she faked her death over 20 years ago – and what brings her back now. With Peter back in Walford, could we see his ex Lauren Branning and their son Louie back too? Lily Slater birth drama Lily Slater, 12, shocked her family when it emerged she had slept with fellow 12 year old Ricky Mitchell ( Image: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Lily Slater, 12, shocked her family when it emerged she had slept with fellow 12 year old Ricky Mitchell late last year, and she fell pregnant. Lily decided to go through with her pregnancy and raise the baby with the help of her family. Pregnant Lily will be due to give birth this autumn, while spoilers are yet to confirm when. Sam Mitchell comeback? Sam made a sudden exit from the show ( Image: BBC) Sam made a sudden exit from the show earlier this year, wanting to raise some money for her son Ricky ahead of the birth of his and Lily's baby. She was offered a job at a hotel in Spain and moved there, while she has since been mentioned – visiting her niece Louise Mitchell. Sam promised she would be back, and a recent episode teased she could be back over the summer. So will she be back this autumn in time for the birth of her grandchild? Christmas lead-up A clip revealed a male character will be killed off ( Image: EastEnders/Youtube) A number of clues have dropped in recent weeks surrounding the big Christmas Day death set to air later this year. We don't doubt there will be more clues to air over autumn ahead of the episode. There's still so much we need to know, including who the victim might be. A clip revealed a male character will be killed off, with six female suspects in the frame. We know it happens at The Queen Vic, and it looks like a fight has taken place given the women are either covered in blood or their clothes are ripped. It's not known what actually happens, what places all six women at the scene of the crime and who commits the possible murder. We don't know what leads to the death or the cause of death, so we're expecting autumn to provide some final clues as to motives for the murder, and who is most likely to be the killer. With the body seen in a suit with some distinctive cufflinks on the sleeve, we also need to know who ends up with them – given they are currently in the hands of Jack Branning. Suki and Eve exposed? Fans want Suki and Eve to get together ( Image: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Suki and Eve's will-they-won't-they romance has certainly got viewers willing for the couple to go public. Viewers know that Suki is too scared to leave her manipulative and controlling husband Nish Panesar, and recently the pair decided to bring him down. But Suki's son Vinny threatened to expose the fact his mother is a lesbian and in love with Eve, knowing Nish could well kill her or Eve given his criminal past. Suki ended things with Eve and halted her plan to stop this from happening – but it's clear their feelings remain. Could autumn be the moment we finally see the pair get together and go public? Theo's comeuppance? Theo is finally sparking suspicion ( Image: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Theo is finally sparking suspicion over his odd behaviour, amid him secretly stalking Stacey Slater. Theo is hiding the fact he is Stacey's top subscriber on her SecretCam profile, and he's been demanding private content from her. In Walford, he's been helping out the family and they now trust him with all their goings on. Stacey knows someone is harassing her and the anonymous person knows where she lives, but she has no idea Theo is the stalker targeting her and trying to isolate her from her loved ones. With suspicions over his antics soon to come to light, will autumn see him finally exposed? Ben's recovery Ben recently opened up to his stepmother Kat Slater ( Image: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Ben Mitchell recently opened up to his stepmother Kat Slater and his husband Callum Highway about his struggles with an eating disorder. Ben began suffering from bulimia as he struggled to cope with his ongoing trauma. Ben was raped last year but his rapist got away with the crime, until his arrest earlier this year following a second attack. In the coming weeks and months, following a visit to a support meeting, Ben will continue to come to terms with his trauma with the help of those around him. Wedding bells There are three potential weddings on the way this year ( Image: BBC1) There are three potential weddings on the way this year, and if they don't air across the autumn they will at least be planned. Elaine Peacock recently got engaged to her partner George Knight, while she halted wedding plans after family drama. But will the arrival of Cindy stop the wedding altogether? Sharon Watts recently ended her engagement to her partner Keanu Taylor, but the big mystery is why is she wearing a wedding dress on Christmas Day? A recent flash-forward teased she would be getting married in the big Christmas episode – but does she tie the knot, and who is the groom? The autumn episodes will have to shed light on these missing details. Finally, Kat Slater is set to finally wed Phil Mitchell this year after her original wedding day got ruined by her ex Alfie Moon. But with her deciding on a Christmas Day wedding, the coming months will confirm whether this will go ahead.
