It is suggested that Pat Butcher and her chandelier earrings will be departing Albert Square with a bang. Warning. Spoiler Alert!
It is reported that 63-year-old Pat St Clement, who has played Pat in the hit BBC1 soap for more than 25 years, will make a dramatic departure from the show sometime around Christmas.
Speaking to the Mirror newspaper a source said: "The last time Eastenders built something on this set was when they set fire to the Queen Vic last year. It is only used when they need to film fires and explosions.”
They added: "They want Pam's character to go out with a bang. The script is so top secret even she doesn't know how Pat is going to go yet. But she will be killed off."
A spokesperson for the soap said: "There has been a lot of speculation about Pat's departure. We are not going to comment as we do not want to spoil it for viewers."
Pat's exit coincides with the return of her stepson Ricky and granddaughter Bianca.
