Last week it was revealed the youngster is brain stem dead and her baby was delivered prematurely in heartbreaking scenes. 

While it seems as though the end is near for Abi (played by Lorna Fitzgerald), her death hasn’t officially been confirmed. 

But fans tuning into Friday night’s episode noted that soap star Lorna’s name was missed off the end of year credits hinting that she will die very soon.

In the final episode of 2017, the BBC show aired a list of all cast and crew involved in making the soap this year but actress’ name was missing. 

Taking to social media, viewers were quick to comment on the clue, with one writing: “I've checked a few times to make sure but unless I've missed it, Lorna Fitzgerald is missing from the end of the year 2017 credits... #EastEnders.”

Another added: “Loving #eastenders so much lately but apparently forgetting Lorna/Abi’s name in the credits and everyone partying in the Vic not knowing she’s brain dead like she has three flat mates how tf have they not heard about this!l?!” (sic)

“So not only have residents,family etc. forgotten or care Abi's in hospital, #EastEnders have forgotten to add Lorna to credits, no respect,” a third continued. 

Someone else shared: “Anyone else notice that Abi's name (Lorna) was not in the end credits in tonight's Eastenders @bbceastenders #EastEnders????????? (sic).”

It comes as Albert Square looks set to be rocked by another tragedy when Aidan Maguire’s (Patrick Bergin) heist goes terribly wrong tonight. 

In new pictures Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) can be seen crying out for help when things don’t go to plan. 

When his mum Shirley finds out about his involvement in the crime, she locks him in the Queen Vic’s cellar. But knowing Aidan is a dangerous man, Mick is desperate not to infuriate the crime boss and risk his life. 

Will he make it out in time or will he forced to face Aidan’s wrath?

EastEnders airs tonight on BBC One at 8pm.
