The uproar comes after EastEnders shared a new behind-the-scenes video featuring some of the stars on its official TikTok page.
The clip featured the actors who play Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and his on-screen mother Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington).
It also showed the actresses who play Avani (Aaliyah James) and Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) on set in front of the Vic.
However, fans noticed that a sign had been placed on the door of the Vic, indicating that the infamous boozer would up for sale in an upcoming plot.
One fan took to the Walford Web fan forum as they wrote: “Rumours that the Vic could be up for sale based on the latest TikTok.”
Fans couldn’t help but flood the comments section with remarks, as they think this could have something to do with Max Branning’s return.
The Sun on Sunday exclusively revealed earlier this month that Strictly Come Dancing star Jake Wood would be returning to the soap as Max.
Many also hated the idea that Linda (Kellie Bright) and Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) will no longer be behind the bar.
Another fan posted: “Yeah, definitely looks like The Vic up for sale. Max back taking over The Vic.”
While a third commented: “Coming in and immediately throwing the Carter-Knights out of The Vic ain’t gonna earn Wadey any brownie points with me.”

“I love Linda in The Vic though. It just suits her,” angrily stated a fourth user.
While someone else noted: “Max isn’t a publican, he’s a used car salesman. Not every character can just be plonked into The Vic and work. Linda and Elaine were literally made for The Vic.”
And a fifth fumed: “Oh gawd please NOT bloody Max in the Vic!!
“What the f*** is the point in anyone else taking over right now when the Knights have only just had it rebuilt and moved back in?”
They added: “I’m fine with Linda leaving it behind and moving out with the young kids, in fact i’d welcome it, but we don’t need completely new owners.”
EastEnders stars who QUIT
MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?
Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.
It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.
Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.
One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.
He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.
Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.
Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.
She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
Jake initially quit the long-running serial drama in 2021 after 15 years to focus on other projects.
The comeback of Max coincides with the departure of his former on-screen lover Stacey Slater, played by Lacey Turner.
A telly source said: “Jake’s return is huge news for EastEnders fans as his character made a massive mark on the show.
“It’ll raise some eyebrows after he was absent from the 40th anniversary earlier this year.
“Bosses are excited about what his character’s reappearance means for spicing up the plots.
“There is plenty to go at. Max has loads of unfinished business in the Square and is set to ruffle some feathers.”
