Location Pics: 'EastEnders' cast film a funeral
Published Tuesday, Nov 10 2009, 13:00 GMT | By Kris Green | 11 comments
WARNING: Major Spoiler Alert
A good serving of EastEnders actors were filming on location yesterday for a certain character's funeral.
As you can see from my pictures below, the Mitchells turn out to pay their final respects to Archie - played by Larry Lamb - who's brutally murdered in a Christmas Day whodunnit.
Rumour has it that the mystery is resolved during the live episode on February 19 which marks the BBC soap's 25th anniversary.
The final picture of this set is extremely interesting. It looks like Archie's wife Peggy (Barbara Windsor) is confronting her son Phil (Steve McFadden). Or is it the other way around? It looks like one knows something about the other...

I'm a little disappointed that there's no sign of Archie's ex-wife Glenda Mitchell, though. If you haven't already read, Glenda - to be played by former Dempsey and Makepeace actress Glynis Barber - turns up in Walford in the New Year following Archie's death.
Why isn't Glenda in the pictures? You don't think she could be Archie's killer, do you?
The plot thickens...

It could be Peggy. After all she's going to be leaving soon so if she might go to prison it would be the perfect exit storyline for her.

Shame about the coffin, looks like it's been dropped and dragged a bit before Archie used it.

Interesting pics there from the location. Like the Coffin! Anyway I wonder if Peggy has killed him or Phil , but I don't think it is the other way around but I think Digital Spy may already know...

I gotta a feeling seeming as Babs is leaving that she will be the culprit. Or is that way to obvious? Mind you I don't think Ronnie will ever forgive her father and might finally exact revenge. . .

I don't know who could kill Archie because they are FAR too many people who may do so! The entire Mitchell family will be suspects, but I'm hoping that the writers surprise us by revealing that it's someone we wouldn't expect to do it. The pictures look very good, I can't wait until this airs!
