Earlier this year, to commentate four decades on the box the BBC One soap aired a special episode which saw a devastating fire rip through the Queen Vic.
Viewers have noticed pet chihuahua Tyson hasn’t featured on the show in months
The dog belongs to Anna and Gina Knight
EastEnders fans are convinced that a member of the Knight family has died
However, fans now think pub dog Tyson might not have made it, as he hasn’t been seen since the blaze, The Knight family’s chihuahua has seemingly gone missing from EastEnders, and eagle-eyed fans are wondering what happened to him.
Played by a dog called Spud, Tyson was adopted by Anna and Gina, when they first arrived on Albert Square two years ago.
Their furry friend was named after the prominent boxer Tyson Fury.
But now the pooch has not been sighted on the soap since the fire earlier this year, and fans are worried.
EastEnders viewers have now been speculating he may have passed away in the devastating fire at the beginning of the year.
Taking to X/Twitter, one said: “Why are we getting new pets on the square when we haven’t seen tyson since last year. Did he burn to ash in the anniversary fire? I fear we’ll never know.”
Another annoyed viewer complained: “I don’t know why they bother writing pets into the show.”
Another added: “Same with some of the other residential dogs. They just disappear.
“Remember Roxy’s dog also just conveniently disappeared.”
Roly the poodle was the first ever dog on EastEnders
Robbie Jackson’s beloved dog Wellard was a famous EastEnders dog
There have been several dogs over the years that have become well loved by viewers.
Fans will remember Robbie Jackson’s beloved dog Wellard.
Over the years the pooch was actually played by four dogs
It once came to light that the fourth (and sadly final) Wellard, was played by a dog called Kyle, who had Hollywood roots.
That’s because the clever canine starred beside Russell Crowe in Gladiator in 2000.
The Belgian Tervuren, who died back in 2008, was Maximus Decimus Meridius’ pet dog in the blockbuster.
Kyte was the last dog to play Wellard between 1994 – 2008.
Wellard met his end after he was fed chocolate by Bianca Butcher, resulting in him being poisoned.
Also, who can forget Albert Square’s first resident dog, Roly.
The poodle belonged to Sharon when she lived at the Queen Vic with her parents Dirty Den and Angie Watts.
Roly debuted in the first ever episode of EastEnders in 1985 and remained on the show until 1993.
He was initially intended to be a German Shepherd named Prince, but a suitable dog couldn’t be found.
During his time on the show, Roly was involved in various storylines, including alerting viewers to Den’s affair with Michelle Fowler, and even saving Pat from an attack.
