Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

I've moved off Whitney and I now think it was Cindy who killed her. For some reason, Jane is helping her to cover it up. I'd say she moved the body.

Emma and Cindy's conversation about ghosts was very strange and I now think it means something but I'm not sure what.

I'm not sure Cindy would be believable or have a big enough impact. Also, when she was screaming and wailing while in labour she confessed to 'killing' her mum- that would have been the ideal time for her to own up.

Cindy has come back for a reason, not just to fill the Beale female void (even though she isnt a Beale), if she was going to be long term or a bit more important, Beth would be Liams, not the Sprogan boys.

I think the murderer will be revealed in the week leading up to the live, but we wont know it, unless we work out the clues that week.

Emma was dying at the time, she was confused and disorientated.

I wonder if she thought she was talking to Jane?

Yes, yes, yes! :D

100% absolutely yes! Fab theory :)
Massive thanks to NickM for this wonderful signature! :)

I really don't want it to be Cindy, but it very well could be. Easy to dispose of, but a sad reveal.
"I loved it in the Olden Days because you talked more. There’s more action now. You know, we would do scenes in the Rovers of me, Bet and Doris Speed with a cup of coffee each before we opened the pub, talking about absolute rubbish. But it was something, and it was what people do." - Betty Driver

Quoting limited to 2 levels deep
Okay, okay, I can't keep this up. I killed Lucy.

Regarding the photo I posted, it seems Jane is definitely lying about seeing Lauren- or she's actually a giraffe. Either way she's hiding something important.
Yep, this is what I mean. Lauren, in the video, goes into the recess of the Beale front door. The house between the Beale and Masood house, is the converted flats where Chryed lived, but they have a similar recessed door. Jane would have had to have been leaning out and around Mas's front window to have seen Lauren stood on Ian's front porch.

I don't mean to be cynical, but several people I've been discussing this with (goes to show everyone's talking about EastEnders) are saying that the killer's identity is actually going to be underwhelming (Abi, Cindy, Ben), which is why Nick's death is coming on the heels of this. Nick's killing is going to be as big as Lucy's, certainly, and with Dot to be charged for it, the sky is the limit in bringing back casual viewers.

I would actually argue that because we've seen Abi grow from being a child to an adult over the last nine years, has been quite a constant in the show and is Max's daughter - she would actually quite a decent impact. Casual viewers will know who she is, for sure. Whether she should be killer or not is a different matter all together, but I do think her position as a character suits it.

Of the fourteen suspects Jane, Max and obviously Ian are the ones that pack the biggest punch. Ben Hardy is fully immersed in the Peter role, so he'd have a good impact, as would Denise and Lauren, who are also highly recognisable.

Jay should/would/could have had a big impact if anyone had bothered to give him a proper storyline at some point over the last five years. Harry Reid is brand new, wasn't in the show at the time and has already killed so that reduces the shock factor... otherwise, Ben would have made a brilliant killer. Cindy may not pack as much of a punch, but the fact she's Lucy's sister makes it a bit more engaging.

Les and Pam would, of course, be all sorts of ridiculous. I know they're trying to keep up a bit of mystique, but their involvement in the suspect list is just not at all necessary.

Anyone else? Oh Lee and Whitney. Lee wouldn't work. Whitney would actually be quite good. I wouldn't mind seeing her revealed as the killer actually. I bet Shona would lap it up.

It does make you wonder if this was just one long way of getting rid of two characters that DTC wanted to axe upon arrival... Lucy and Whitney/Abi/Lauren/Jay (not that I particularly think any of those characters should go; definitely not Jay anyway).

Yeah, Cindy was my choice for a long time because she ticks the box of being close to the victim, but not someone that would be a huge loss in the grand scheme of things. I'm got off the Cindy train in recent times though.

I bet all the actors playing the suspects are loving being suspects, even if they're not the killer.

Meanwhile, Danielle Harold's desperate screams are becoming more and more muffled.

Weren't Lola and Billy ruled out? They were seen leaving their flat in the scene after Emma sat down in the park with the killer.

Out of the suspects, I've always been completely convinced it's not Les, Pam, Jay or Ben. I was convinced about Ian but I've changed my mind. Although I didn't rule her out, for some reason I've never considered it being Cindy.

Dont be Jay. I want to see him with Lola and under Sharons wing, they way he should have been.

I do wonder on what the reason was they bought back Ben. It cant just have been for Johnny.

That would also explain Ians behaviour.
Jane knows but she is there to hopefully stop Ian from having another breakdown
Jay seems less than happy with Ben

Liking Ben, would love Ronnie to be in there somewhere, but I guess we start ridding the square of one pysco at a time

Can you believe we are just over four weeks away, from finding out who Lucy's killer is?

I haven't ruled out Abi or Jane.

I do love the storyline though, it's overall been one of the best executed story on EastEnders in years.

Abi changing her behaviour could be explained away by the fact she felt she was losing J to Lola? Max's covering up could be explained away by the fact they fought before she died and hurt her head?

Continue this exercise for each suspect (official) then it's fair that any of them could be and we would buy it because everyone else's back story made sense

But: I have a niggly feeling that the killer is not in the official list, would they or could they do that to us?

At face value it very much looks like ian abi and Jane could be convicted with the evidence available, however I am sure DTC knows we can see the obvious and want more suspense?![edit_reason]Pressed reply too early sorry![/edit_reason]

I don't think so, although it would obviously work in the context of the show, and I know they've deliberately said things in the press before that haven't been accurate. I'm assuming that when this competition opens we'll be able to chose one of the 14 suspects. If that's the case then it's got to be one of them or no one will win!

Jay and Abi have been drifting apart for over a year. I think they fought on the camping trip when Cindy took all the cash.
They just dont work anymore. Jay has grown up, Abi has grown, well, frustrated, angry, dark, take your pick but she hasnt matured.
She use to be sensible and level headed, now she has lost the plot. I would give her another year and then she would be hitting the bottle in the Branning women tradition

Jay and Lola look good together. I said in another thread how I would like Stacey to somehow buy Deans salon, I should have said put Lola in there as well. Informal play group upstairs!
Its a shame Jay and Lola have no money, Jay should be just about qualified if such things existed on EE and be on good money, I would love to see them doing well together.

I would just like to put out in the atmosphere:

My very first thought back when Lucy's death was announced was 'Lee'.

I just want to get that out there now so that I've got it in written form.

Do we really need another one of Cindy I's kids to be a psychopath? They screwed Steven over very well, though his making the Stepford Frump infertile should be a public service and it looks like it is gonna be their version of Tanya almost suffocating Max in a coffin. Lucy is dead. With Cindy II being the killer, all we have is Peter left and that will be until Ben Hardy leaves. The only link we'll have to Cindy I is her granddaughter, and that, like Laura is, will be whitewashed away when Jane adopts Beth (I doubt we'll see TJ again but i'm glad the father isn't Liam).

I know Cindy I wasn't original, but I liked her in the clips I've seen and I'd hate for her to have all remnants of her wiped away. When Bobby was doing the family tree, I was shocked he knew Laura was his birth mother, even if Jane hadn't legally adopted him, when she was Ian's unpaid worker partner, she raised (and I use that term loosely) him.

Oh I think Steven and Cindy II have Cindy I's genes all right!

She wasnt orginal, but she did come in pretty early.

The suspect with the biggest impact would be Ian.
