EastEnders fans are convinced they have rumbled Drew Peacock’s real identity, after Elaine Peacock screamed at the drag queen in Monday’s episode of the BBC soap

EastEnders fans were sent into a frenzy after Drew Peacock’s entrance on the scene, leading to an explosive confrontation with Elaine Peacock. The drag queen, Drew Peacock, was booked to entertain at The Queen Vic for Elaine’s hen party by her doting grandson Johnny Carter. However, when the performer hit the stage, there was an instantly noticeable tension. Drew and Elaine immediately recognised each other, much to the audience’s bewilderment.

“Elaine Peacock…” was heard as Drew called out upon noticing her in the crowd, prompting Elaine to storm over and furiously demand Drew leave the pub at once. Although it wasn’t disclosed how the two knew each other or the history behind their quarrel, the surname coincidence had already raised eyebrows among the viewers.

Everyone is asking: could Drew and Elaine be family? Twists are expected in upcoming BBC episodes as EastEnders teases the unraveling mystery of their connection, leaving Elaine rattled by the ordeal. Fans have their theories – some believe Drew may turn out to be Linda Carter’s long-lost biological father, reports the Mirror.

While Linda’s dad was believed to have passed away, whispers among the fanbase speculate the chance that he might still be alive, or perhaps, Linda never actually met her true dad, fuelling rumours that Drew could be the one. The soap’s devotees have been quick to take to X post-plot twist featuring the mysterious Elaine, convinced they’ve pieced together the puzzle.

One avid watcher remarked: “This new storyline spun me. Is this Drew Peacock Elaine’s brother or Linda’s actual dad?” Another intrigued fan pondered following the gripping scenes: “Could Drew peacock be Linda’s dad, Elaine’s ex husband who isn’t actually dead? ” Speculations didn’t end there as a third enthusiast added: “I think he’s Linda’s real dad. The brother of Elaine’s previous husband,” and yet another said: “I have a feeling that Drew Peacock is either Elaine’s son or Linda’s Biological father.”

Fans are anxiously awaiting the next episodes to decipher who Drew truly is, their relationship with Elaine, and the reason behind her urgent desire for them to vanish. The speculation was sparked in the pub, not solely by Elaine’s jumpy reaction upon spotting Drew but also because Linda had just made remarks about her deceased father. In a particularly revealing moment earlier, Linda shared with Elaine her wish that her father could have attended her wedding if he were still around, also expressing that he would have wanted her to find happiness and move forward in life.
