EastEnders fans have taken to Twitter worried the soap's longest running character, Dot Branning, is going to die.
They believe the iconic soap character, played by June Brown, will bow out of the soap after Dot left a very cryptic letter for Sonia Fowler, following the news Martin Fowler had stolen all of her savings.
Sadly however, Dot's money was in fact stolen by Sonia herself so she could pay off her blackmailer but Sonia didn't own up to her actions.
In scenes aired last night, Dot was seen throwing the ex wife and husband duo out of her house, packing her belongings and leaving for Ireland to visit grandson Charlie Cotton and his new baby.
