There are two big storylines coming up on EastEnders, with the caf\u00e9 set to go up in flames and the infamous Christmas Day murder. Now it seems fans have come up with their own theories about who will be leaving and when. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Taking to the EastEnders Facebook group, one user wrote: "So we know Karen's leaving. What is going to be her exit story?" Fans immediately rushed to share their thoughts. <\/p>\n
One user wrote: "I heard she died in a fire in the caf\u00e9," while another said: "I hope that's not true. Would have liked it left open for a possible return. I like Karen, she brings humour and laughter to the show. Don't know why they are axing her."<\/p>\n
Another said: "No they're killing her off and I think that's a terrible mistake." While another suggested that Karen could leave Albert Square with Keanu to try and seek out Lisa and Louise to get Peggy back. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
They added: "It would wrap up their exits with the door being left open for them to return if a new producer decides to bring Karen back," meanwhile another suggested that she could head to Germany to see Keegan and Tiff. <\/p>\n
However, one general consensus surrounded the theory that Karen's exit will come to a tragic end. Karen's predicted death isn't the only tragedy fans assume could be coming. <\/p>\n

As for Rocky's exit, one theory suggests he's been working with his ex the entire time to get hold of Kathy's cash. Fans are convinced that Rocky will either be revealed as being up to no good or will be sent to prison as part of his exit. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fans are hoping that Whitney Dean will get a happy exit plot and leave the door open for her return. <\/p>\n
