According to the Sun, and GMTV this morning:
EASTENDERS toerag Archie Mitchell - played by Larry Lamb - is to be killed off at Christmas, TV Biz can reveal.
The serial schemer will meet his maker after being murdered in the Queen Vic.
He will be stretchered out in a body-bag.
PRIME SUSPECTS
Whodunnit ... bookies' odds
The death will spark another soapland whodunnit, with several Albert Square regulars in the frame.
The scenes mark the explosive finale to the storyline that has seen Archie plotting with Janine Butcher to buy the legendary pub.
His presence has also become more and more irritating to the other Mitchells.
Things finally come to a head on Christmas Day. A show insider said: "Since Archie first arrived in Walford he's managed to lie, cheat and manipulate everyone around him.
"Over the next few months he is set to get even worse - so it's fair to say he's made enemies of enough people who'll be glad to see the back of him."
Sources say Archie's arch enemy Phil Mitchell will emerge as the No1 suspect.
He hates Archie for breaking his mum Peggy's heart.
Meanwhile minx Janine has previous killing form - she bumped off hubby Barry - and would love to get her hands on Archie's loot.
His daughter Roxy has already disowned him.
Roxy's sister Ronnie has never forgiven him for making her give up daughter Danielle for adoption.
Larry, 62 - Gavin's dad in hit comedy Gavin and Stacey - has already filmed his final scenes, but it is not yet clear how he meets his grisly end.
A BBC spokesman said: "Fans can expect high drama."
