Fans of EastEnders have taken to Twitter to express their concerns over Dot Cotton's latest storyline - the fact she has got no central heating.
Avid viewers reckon this means the iconic and beloved character, played by June Brown, is set to DIE in the winter season of the show, with many speculating her dramatic death might be part of the Christmas episode.
Dot revealed the news to Sonia Fowler, played by Natalie Cassidy, to ease heightened tensions between Martin and Sonia.
It came amidst the actors' harrowing storyline, who are currently both attempting to look after their daughter Bex, who is severely depressed and on suicide watch.
