View Full Version : Nana's death sparks whodunnit
When poor old Nana Moon dies in a fire at the Queen Vic at Christmas, the incident will spark off a storm of gossip about who started the blaze.
It is a storyline as old as Albert Square. Regular viewers have witnessed practically every major Walford landmark go up in flames, usually as part of an insurance scam or a convoluted revenge plot.
This time EastEnders producers are keeping the lid shut tight on the identity of the arsonist - fans will see an anonymous figure entering the pub, after Nana has wandered in, and start the fire.
Confused Nana goes into the drinker thinking she still lives there. Hilda Braid, the 72-year-old actress who plays Alfie's dotty mother, was last week reported to have got confused herself about what scenes she's in and what she's supposed to say.
So it looks like the soap's bosses thought that it was time to get rid of the much-loved character.
Possible suspects with motives for burning down the Vic include Chrissie, Sharon, Phil, Grant and Peggy.

Peggy does get the Vic back but Johnny is also interested in buying the Vic. Barbara has confirmed in an interview that she will be back behind the bar.
If Chrissie gets caught i can't see her being released around christmas to burn down the Vic. I can't see Sharon or Peggy doing it either since both love the Vic.

I think maybe if the mitchells get it chrissie or jonny burn it down. If they dont get it the mitchells might burn it down out of revenge.

yeah it might be johnny allen
I think it might be Grant and Phil,if they don't get it, as their mum would be so upset not to get back behind the bar, and its about time the Vic had a face lift, as for Nana Moon, I feel may be it is time for her to go, she sounds as though she needs to retire bless her, but to burn her in a fire !. they could have thought of a better exit in my opinion.

It could be Billy, he's working for Johnny Allen, but if the Mitchells own it he wouldn't do that. But I suppose it would spark off the argument between him and Alfie again. Although he burned down Angie's Den, so it would be a bit of a copy cat.

This is a really good storyline. I'm glad that Nana is going in style!! She deserves a good exit, she's an excellent character!! It's too obvious to be Johnny or the Mitchells, maybe it's Jake or Sam? Chrissie will have left by then so I doubt it will be her. Maybe Dennis?

I agree Saye2213, she is going out with a bang! and yes everyone is going to think its them people but there could be a twist with it being someone you didn't expect to do it. I dont know but it's going to do my head in not knowing! Lol!
poor nana. this storyline is like the who shot phil storyline

i cant see any of these wanting to delebrutly (sp) kill nana. thats what it sound like that they folllow her in perposly wanting to kill her. i tink it'll be more belive able if one of them started a fire not knowing she was in there.

i think its chrissie!
AWWW i think id have preferred a better storyline maybe a bit like ethels with alfie being with her till the end!
I think it's got Mitchell written all over it. I think it will be Grant.
i think it might be Chrissie getting revenge
It really doesn't seem plauisable that Johnny would do it, he lost his family in a fire so knows the devastaion it could cause.

mabye sharon goes a bit loopy and after she burns it down thats why her and dennis leave
I remember a rumour going around last year as well saying that the xmas storyline would be bananas moon dying in a fire.
Peggy does get the Vic back but Johnny is also interested in buying the Vic. Barbara has confirmed in an interview that she will be back behind the bar.
If Chrissie gets caught i can't see her being released around christmas to burn down the Vic. I can't see Sharon or Peggy doing it either since both love the Vic.
behind the bar...not owning the bar!
i reckon it will be built up to see who sets fire to it and i reckon there will be a big shock!!!!
A big shock? Maybe Freddy dun it :D

i think sharon will do it and thn her and dennis goes

Chrissie will have left by then but even if she hadn't i doubt she would want to burn down the Vic unless she goes psycho. Could be Sharon as she may go mad or one of the Mitchells for revenge.Do you think they will know Nana's in there or will she be in the wrong place at the wrong time as i doubt anyone will want to kill her

oooo sounds good! i didnt see this coming i thought she died of an ill ness? hmmm...

26-09-2005, 18:40
Yes maybe Sam does it. She's got every motive to get revenge on Chrissie.
At least the Vic will finally be getting a revamp... It's long overdue!!! :cheer:

mabe the shock of the fire gives her a heart attack????
well at least shes going out wiyh a bang,rather than us have to watch her wither away miserably
Exactly. I think Chrissie might just get in there before she's sent down..

Thanks for posting that, ive been wanting to know for ages what her ilness was. Apparently she is ill, but she dies in a fire in the vic after wandering in there when she thinks she still lives there.

Wrong place at the wrong time I think. I can't see any of the suspects deliberatley wanting to kill her. Also, she wanders in the Vic thinking that she still lives there and then the culprit walks in afterwards, so I don't think they would be aware of her presence in the Vic.

Its about time the Vic got a make over
Awww poor nana!
I think it going to be Phil or Grant, if the mitchells dont get he vic!

i reckon billy or jake cause billy would to it to be a mitchel and get it wrong like usual and it could add to the billy/alfie on/off feud but seeing as alfies leaving maybe not --jake cause he wants revenge for chrissie getting sent down maybe he belives she was innocent? bit extreme to kill nana in a fire it would be better if she died in naturally with her family round her making alfie realize he loves kat and want to make a new life but make it really upsetting with a tearful goodbye from alfie just before she dies but no shes gotta die in yet another fire in the square and happens to be at christmas making it offically the worst time of year for anyone in that square

aww bless poor Alfie.
I wonder if he will let Jake know cause Jake could be a real help to alfie and at this time family need there family members.
i just thought she would get ill, cancer or something and thats how she died? a fire is a way better ending for her :cheer:

i suppose it will be a better exit storyline for her to depart, it's just a pity she has to leave

I thought that nana was going to die of an illness

Fire cuts out the whole "watching nana suffer" thing. Although she is ill to begin with at least she dies quickly and not an Ethel replica

Why is this going to happen soon

i would have prefereed a ethel sort of death. too many characters die in horrible circumstances nana could have died peacefully with alfie by her side
true but illness equals long slow painfull death fire= quick and instant

Yes but it's so tragic! I can't believe that Alfie wouldn't want revenge on whoever did it. He seems to leave so soon afterwards.
maybe alfie sets fire to the house?- might not realise nana is in there then feels so guilty afterwards that he leaves? :angel:

i take it that once nana dies then alfie will feel that there is nothing left for him in albert square.

Fab idea that!

Ive heard that Alfie and Kat are brought back together when Nana dies. They then realise that they can't be happy with Little Mo around and with Nana gone there is nothing to keep them in Walford.

It's a possibility but why would Alfie stoop so low as to do that? I can imagine Jake doing it but Alfie is a totally different kettle of fish. If he did it, it would be totally out of character. But Billy is a nice man and he set fire to Angie's Den. But he's a Mitchell, so he's prone to this sort of disaster.
This storyline reminds me a lot of when Tom Banks died, even though Little Mo confessed that she was responsible for the fire starting out, Sharon wasn't angry at her because he was suffering from the Tumour and he would have died pretty soon anyway. Maybe Alfie thinks in the same way. Nana would have died in a couple of months. But I think it would be different to Tom because she's old, and she didn't die doing something she loved, like Tom did.

maybe they have resurrected Den Watts again from the dead to burn down the pub.

That sounds quite likely! :)
Maybe its Jake?
My theory is that after Sharon finds out about what Chrissie did, chases her to the airport and gets her arrested, Jake is a broken man and blames Sharon for Chrissie going.
Once the Mitchells come and go Sharon and Dennis get the Vic back so Jake decides to burn it down not knowing that Nana is in there :searchme:

really that could happen but i doubt that will be the theory i think it will be the the mitchells Boys.

It's a possibility, but I still think it will be Grant.
