Viewers are eagerly awaiting the dramatic twist that will claim a character's life during the festive season.
The suspense has become so intense that it has spilled over from the screen onto the set, with cast members assuming the roles of detectives to try and solve the mystery before the big reveal.
In a chat with the Daily Star and other press, Brian confessed that accusation are flying behind the scenes on set, saying: "I think as we lead up to Christmas, there will be ten people who go: 'I bet it's him, I bet it's him.'
“None of us have a clue. I think only two to three people are aware of who it is, and even that might change.”
He went on to say that he expects it to be a major character that will send shockwaves through Walford.
“It'll be big; it won't be someone who's just been there a week. That's my theory anyway."
The star also opened up on his two and a half years on the soap and how he hopes to be there “till the end.”
“I’m very much enjoying it. It’s come at just the right time in my life.
“Lockdown happened then this came around.
“I love everyone the cast and crew and I really feel at home now. I would love to be there till the end.”
BBC fans were left in shock as a flash-forward confirmed someone’s death on Christmas Day.
Linda, Stacey, Sharon, Kathy, Denise and Suki could all been seen in The Vic staring at the dead body of a man.
Fan theories have been rife ever since, with many spotting “clues” on the show about who will be exiting the soap.
One name floating around is bad boy Phil Mitchell.
Some fans think that Phil dies after noticing a similarity between Phil’s cufflinks and the one in the flashback.
Others reckon that Sharon has been planning revenge for Denny’s death all along and will finally make Phil pay.
