Imagine that theory doing the rounds about Les and Pam was true. That would be awful. |

It's possible, but I don't think it's very probable. Lee was a very recent addition to the cast when Lucy was killed, and even now I feel he's still very much on the back burner in terms of character development and integration into the Walford fabric. The revelation that Lee killed Lucy would be huge for the Carters (and the Beales, obviously), but not so much for the rest of the Square, let alone the viewers. It would seem so random and underwhelming: Lucy killed - presumably in the heat of the moment during an argument - by what is essentially a supporting character of minor importance. |

If it turns out to be Pam or Les, I would probably just laugh and be very annoyed. I'd also find it hard to defend the show as a fan. I really hope it's not a Branning. Or Ian. I really think the killer is Whitney. |

1. If the culprits are Les and Pam, I really think DTC would lose his job. This isn't a joke. This is the show's 30th anniversary. Besides, I think Les's and Pam's characters will be expanded this year with the inevitable arrival of Paul. 2. Lee was high on my lists of suspects, and he still may be; but I think since Johnny unexpectedly left the fold this year and the fact that the Carters totally dominated the previous year, and especially Christmas, making Lee the killer would be, to use a bad pun, overkill. 3. The killer will be a Branning or a Beale, unless Ronnie wakes up and confesses. |

I'm almost certain now that the killer is a younger character - either Abi, Cindy or Whitney. Whilst these characters might not have a 'big' impact, I think there'll be a long-standing character who has covered for them. Max and/or Jane are almost certainly involved. If the killer is leaving the Square, the impact they have on the people close to Lucy won't so much be the interesting part of the aftermath - it'll be the impact that person's family/the people who helped cover it up will have on the Beales. The Cokers being part of the line-up is, I think, just DTC's nod to the ludicrous rumours which were doing the rounds earlier in the year. If Les or Pam turn out to be the killer, I will eat not only my hat but Aunt Babe's as well. |

I don't think Les and Pam are the culprits. Aside from the points made above, Pam seems to feel incredibly guilty about having helped her son to die. Feeling that way, she wouldn't kill Lucy or cover it up to drum up business. Her son was a mercy killing, not in cold blood like that would be. Were it an accident, I don't think she'd have it in her to cover another death up like she has her son's. The only question mark is, if Les did it, would he have been able to blackmail her into covering it saying that he'd tell everyone about their son if he didn't? He obviously covered for her, perhaps not having known what Pam and the son were planning until it was done. I think he'd be capable, but again, there's no impact there. Les and Pam I think are the wildcard, like Stacey was with Archie until they shoehorned her in. DTC disapproved of it and said they'd learned from the 25th, so surely he wouldn't go down the same route. |

Just read this article on the murder trailer. http://www.closeronline.co.uk/2015/01/eastenders-lucy-beale-killer-shown-in-trailer If you look at the link at the bottom of this quote there is the picture is from the first 3 seconds of the trailer. It probably doesn't mean anything... but I believe that its better to check for something that implausible even if the majority of Eastender's watchers says it's impossible. So just noticed the camera is positioned over Masood's house? Alluding to Janes involvement perhaps because she claimed to give Lauren an alibi? I can't see the Beal house from that angle. I know lots of people think Lauren is dim but she's been immersed in what happened to Lucy, as the weeks past I'm sure she'll smell a rat with Jane. Next time they cut to inside Masood's living room check the window view! Feel free to scrutinize it the high side and low! I pasted it from Youtube onto paint - then zoomed in to 200% to draw little alien circles around the minute people on the square. Out of all the people in the pic - the person I'm sure I've clocked right is Lee. See little yellow alien circle. Outside the vic. If you zoom in the person is wearing dark blue like lee usually does and has their arm up and is on their phone. Lee leaves Lucy a message on her phone. The person is also standing exactly where Whitney stopped Good Friday to give Lucy that supreme death glare. Another poignant message that it might be Whitney? Second person I think I see is Abi in the White circle which is facing parallel to the Beal house. The person is wearing a deep blood red coat which Abi wears in the trailer assemble at the end. The light pink circle in the middle of the pic has two people. One is of a guy wearing a light grey hoodie and a hat. I can't tell what colour the hat is, might be Jay because he there was in Fatboy's video. The figure is standing next to someone blonde. So this can either be Lucy, Lola or if I'm wrong about the above - Abi. Lola seems logical if it is Jay because again she was in Fat boys video. The pair are also in view of the person in the white circle who I think is Abi. Clue for shadowing her jealousy of Lola? There is another person on the side of the square where Masood, Dean, Jake, Alex the B&B and Dot live. Pink circle. A guy with their back turned wearing navy, dark clothes. I reckon it's Ben as they are watching the pair (Jay and Lola) in the middle of the square. One last suspect walking towards the Beal house. A guy with light brown hair who looks older than the others. Ian? Or maybe it could've bee Danny before he decided to leave. Anyway those are my speculations, soz it's not bigger I don't know how to post bigger than 200km Counting the dayyyss. Edited by DRAPPLEdreamers1992, 15 Jan 2015, 20:15.

I'm almost positive it's Cindy or Whitney at this stage. They just seem to make the most sense and both have kind of flown under the radar up till now. Jane is clearly hiding something too but I think we're being misled to believe her secret is bigger than it is. I still maintain that it's very odd Whitney was suddenly brought back just to be included in the final suspects before disappearing again. Why not just exclude her if Shona's not available or if Whitney has no current storylines? They couldn't exclude the killer so hence her brief appearance. |

It is one of the final 14 suspects. That's confirmed. So Lola, Billy and Nancy are a no. |

Looking back at the original trailer (there's a link in the article above) the final frames might point to that. After the main action with much of the shortlist, we have a close up featuring Kat, Mick and Cindy. Next up is one with Sharon, Bianca, Whitney, Dot, Phil and Jake. These look to be a close up of the original suspect photo, but the one with Cindy in was re-shot as Cindy moved from being behind Mick in the original to in front of him in the close up. Cindy and Whitney are the only ones from these frames still in the running. |

Probably because it looks like it'll be a Branning, but the others all seem a bit obvious. Now that we're rid of Dexter, if Ann/Cora is sticking around, they'll probably be keen to establish her as as much of a quasi-Branning as they can. Tanya's returning, maybe they think Cora being revealed as a murderer will bring her back. Silly really, it's obvious that she's part of Lauren's leaving line rather than the investigation. |

Nothing to read into it; bookies odds on markets like these will change dependant on how much money is placed on someone. I could put £1000 on Billy Mitchell @ 100/1 and he'd shoot down back amongst the favourites again. People adding 2+2 and getting 500 with Cora due to Tanyas return. |

Some of those motive/alibi pieces read like they've been written by a child or someone who's never watched the show in their life. And Lauren didn't find out about Lucy/Max until Lucy's funeral so why is that given as a motive for killing her? |
