STOP EVERYTHING EASTENDERSFANS! The official - traditionally gloomy - EastEnders Christmas trailer has landed... and things aren't looking good for the residents of Walford this yuletide.

Gulp!

The trailer may only be thirty-seconds long, but it's jam-packed with a a whole lotta drama!

First up there's Phil's health - which seems to have taken a real turn for the worse. Announcing that this is looking like his last Christmas, the Walford stalwart finally comes round to the idea of spending the day with his loved ones.

But then the trailer shifts to Sharon, Honey and Billy all looking seriously gloomy. Does this mean Phil dies before he has the chance to have a liver transplant? Or will a Christmas miracle see him hang on to life by a thread?

Later we see Mick raising a glass to 'absent friends.' But WHO is he talking about? Phil? Peggy? Walford residents past in general?

Here's a few more things we learnt from the jam-packed trailer:

**Kush and Denise make it official? **

We knew there was unfinished business between these two. Will this kiss mean that the pair, who had a secret fling earlier this year, are finally ready to make their romance official?

Roxy pushed out at Christmas day?

Whilst Jack Branning and Ronnie are seen enjoying a family Christmas with the kids, Roxy looks to be left out in the cold - literally - and is seen wandering barefoot across the square. Have the couple shunned her for good?

What does absent friends mean? No Linda Carter? Or something more sinister?

Linda Carter is understanably absent from the Christmas trailer, which definitely means that something fishy is going on. Just where is she?

Viewers already know that actress Kellie Bright, who lays landlord Linda, will be leaving EastEnders temporarily to go on maternity leave - but what makes her up and leave? And why has she left her beloved Mick behind?

Max Branning is back, back again!

And the first person he greets is ex-lover Stacey Slater! Should Martin be worried? We reckon so...
