EastEnders has ended with a shocking suggestion of yet more bloodshed after a festive period packed with violence. The soap has seen Stuart Highway savagely beaten, Alfie Moon pushed down the stairs, Mel Owen left for dead, and Ray Kelly run over then shot in recent episodes. In another violent twist, the latest episode hinted that Hunter Owen turned the gun he used as a murder weapon on himself. The shocking suicide would leave a grisly body count after a Christmas and New Year marked by brutal storylines. But in the final shots of the episode, Hunter was seen raising the gun he used to kill Ray to his own head.
