They definitely need to get Peter to impregenate someone quick as Ben Hardy really does not sound like he is going to stick around.
I really hope Peter leaves. He's not that good as an actor, in my opinion. Yeah Ben Hardy doesn't seem to want to stay in EE for long. They will probably recast Peter again in future.

I agree that Hetti was really good in 2012. I was watching some of her early clips on Youtube this afternoon. For some reason it seems she lost her confidence along the way. Shame but I don't think any of this would have saved her. Even if Melissa was playing Lucy I think Dominic always had this end game planned. He didn't axe Lucy because of Hetti. He axed her because the story he wanted to tell required it.

I reckon we have Ben Hardy for another year at best, he'll see out this story then leave I reckon. Don't blame him. He's a great actor with Paul Newman like looks, he'll probably go far

He looks like James Dean in that Attitude shoot. He will be able to try his luck in America with a decent agent.

So much for a decent young male character in Eastenders.

After last night's episode Pam Coker shot up to the top of my suspects list. There's something off about her. She seems too good to be true. When Alfie proclaimed her as "lovely" that sealed the deal for me. I suspect she's the Lady Macbeth of the mortuary trade who will stop at nothing to drum up business for her hubby!

I really hope they don't recast him again. The character is too old to recast now without good reason (Sam Mitchell, Mark Fowler).
Ben Hardy came in and quickly impressed, making Peter his own character, no longer living in the shadow of Lucy.

I definitely think Jake is involved in Lucy's secret life. There might some infatuation there but I also think he was working with her to screw Max over. I think her death has thrown him and ruined their plan to blackmail Max.

I'm going to say the killer will be Lee but he'll be absolved of blame due to some kind of PSTD. He's the Carter they could do without and it would ensure the Carter's are involved in the big storyline for the anniversary. He could go away to prison or hospital for a year or two and return.

Ah, ok. Clues in the Friday 18th April episode:

Lucy is at Lauren's house in the daytime.
She gets up, says "I'm going out."
Then, she receives a call from Lee, and she storms out in a rage.
Later, in darkness, she returns home in the OPPOSITE direction of the Brannings house, STILL in a fit of rage.

Nothing major, but it gives us a nice timeline.

Jake looked tormented and guilty when he stared at Jane when she left.

It wasn't him but he knows something or has covered up something and he will be the next one down, depending on if Lucy's demise was related to drugs.

Walford is about to change, lives are about to be destroyed, alliances will begin and the residents will never be the same again. Welcome to "Dungeon". New fan fic, coming soon...

Thanks Nick M for the brilliant sig!

If the whole story links to a drugs ring as some have speculated its possible Jake got hooked on coke during his off-screen absence, introduced Lucy to his dealer. Lucy went to meet their dealer on Walford Common and was killed, Jake was possibly already on the Common after getting a score and witnessed Lucy's body getting dumped but the killer didn't know and now he's consumed with guilt. So Jake's murder or suicide could be one of the curveballs DTC hinted at.

Her dealer would have to be someone like Aleks though. They can't run a storyline for this long and have some anonymous person being the killer.

Jake moves in with Aleks, he reveals he's struggling with addiction to alcohol and Aleks offers him drugs to take the edge off.

Would Jake continue to live with aleks if he was involved?

Also, I'm wondering if we're too hung up on Jake being a red herring. When he was watching her out the window and told aleks he had been waiting for Bella, Lucy stopped and checked her phone, had he text her ans told her aleks was home and not to come over?

Why?

If the actor wants to leave eventually, that's up to him. Peter, the character, is only 20 years old. Why wish a pregnancy on a young woman with the young man who'll die/desert her/whatever?

This is one of the many things I dislike about this producer - the preponderance of babies under his tenure. Now we have a teenaged pregnancy when that demographic is on the wane. This is the 21st Century. Pregnancy and propagation went out with the pill and the notion that women are the intellectual and employable equals of men.

Instead of wanting Peter to impregnate some girl quickly - like the obvious immaturities that are Lauren or Whitney - if the actor wants to leave, what's the matter with having Peter leave to get some sort of further education that would give him some professional qualifications. Time was, Ian used to aim for all his kids to go to university. Think about Peter with an MBa, fronting the local bank or building society, rather than languishing on a fruit and veg stall. This Lucy and Peter are far too posh and upper middle class in accent and appearance to believe that someone like this Peter would be content to be a barrow boy.

Why can't Lucy's dealer be a woman, whom Lucy knows?

Yep she's my top suspect too. Maybe she's a serial murderer to get business for Les. ^_^

Are we not allowed to say anything in jest anymore?

It is also a fictional character, so I don't really care if he is only 20.

And the reasoning was so that the next Beale generation can be confirmed because at the moment he is the only one able to do it.

But yeah, I was clearly joking.

Hmm. He did say that they were going to try and do a bit of tricking in the scripts. But would it be revealed this early on!?
