EastEnders - Woman Was The Killer

Picture from BBC

Larry Lamb thinks a woman will be unveiled as his murderer in EastEnders on Friday.

The actor - who portrayed soap baddie Archie Mitchell in the BBC One show - is convinced his on-screen alter-ego was finished off by one of his female enemies and can’t wait to find out during the live show later this week.

He explained: "I sort of reckon on a female, that’s what I reckon. But I don't think it will be Peggy. Peggy's out soon but that’s it, that’s the queen there. You can't touch Peggy.

"I'd put money on a female but I have to say, I've got no idea which. Janine's got form, but I don't know."

The soap's production team have been so secretive about the storyline, they even used a stuntman for the murder scene – which saw Archie die on Christmas Day after being hit over the head with the Queen Vic bust.

The 62-year-old actor explained: “Archie nor the audience knows who killed him. A stuntman did it – no actor did it. It was done in such a way that Archie couldn’t know who did it. He was aware something was going on and bam, that was that.”

Now the special live episode – which was organised as a celebration of the soap’s 25th anniversary – is just days away, Lamb is convinced his former co-stars will be panicking over their scripts.

He said: “They must know already now. It will be in another zone in there now because that’s the build-up. They will be working on that now, the preparation. They’ve got to move around that whole big studio set-up there. There will be crews and crews, working on the build-up for Friday.

“There'll be a lot of very nervous actors. I'm getting nervous just thinking about it for them!"

24 Hours Delayed By Sutherland Surgery

Kiefer Sutherland has been forced to suspend filming of 24 to have minor surgery.

The actor - who plays government agent Jack Bauer - has halted production of the counter-terrorism drama after to allow him to bring forward an operation after he reportedly suffered from a ruptured cyst near his kidney last week.

Cast and crew continued filming without him until Friday, but have decided to suspend the show until the 43-year-old actor is feeling well again.

His publicist said: "While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps. He looks forward to returning to work next week."

Network Fox have confirmed the actor's break from filming and are confident it will not cause any disruption to the broadcasting schedule.

A spokesperson for the network said: "We are temporarily suspending production of '24' while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure. We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season's episodes."
