Bradley Branning has just returned from what he hoped would be a new life in Canada to find love again with his first serious girlfriend Stacey. However, Bradley reacted badly when he found out that Archie had allegedly assaulted and potentially raped Stacey, who was now carrying his baby. We saw Bradley go into the Queen Vic and have an argument with Archie, during which he caught him with a blow to the head, something which led to a significant gash on his hand.

There is no doubt that his blood will be found in the Queen Vic at some point and he will be dragged in as a potential murderer. As with Peggy Mitchell, the character of Bradley Branning is leaving Eastenders and there is a chance we could see Bradley revealed as the killer in due course. However, the clever money appears to be going elsewhere with regards to the identity of the murderer.
