"This comes from the heart. As you'll see in the episodes, it's all based on truth, reality and grief. When we first talked about the storyline, we spoke about Lucy dying and her body being found on Walford Common. We decided that the story would be about grief at first, but then slowly get closer and closer, until the focus goes onto the Square and the Beales suddenly realising that actually the killer is amongst them.

"There's going to be a lot of twists and turns in the storyline. We're going to use this storyline to find out a lot about every single character on the Square. We're also going to find out a lot more about Lucy after she's died.

"The story is going to run and run, but I think sometimes soap whodunits can be too intelligent and not come from the heart. The identity of the killer is known by myself and three other people on the team. When it's revealed, we don't want people to say, 'Oh that was clever, I never guessed that'. We want people to say, 'Oh, that makes sense, that's upsetting and it's very clever'. The story is very much based on truth."

So if its upsetting it has to be someone she has known for years like Jane, Cindy, Peter, Ian, Whitney, Ben, Jay and Denise. Abi and Max are too obvious IMO

My theory after reading the it makes sense and upsetting part is that Jane spoke to Lucy on good Friday and Lucy could have said that she was happy she had an abortion and then maybe Jane picked up the music box and hit her and then Cindy walks in.

I still think Ben hardy leaving is irrelevant. Either a red herring or just irrelevant. If peter never finds out he was directly responsible and someone else believes that they are/takes the blame then why can't he leave?

My final final choice is peter/Jane. I think max was involved in that he saw her after their argument perhaps knows something he shouldn't. I don't think he's involved in her death.

If Ian didn't kill her (accidentally), there is absolutely no way her killer could remain in the Square. Ian would see to it that the culprit was caught and imprisoned, with the possible exception of one person: Peter.

If Peter were revealed as the killer, I can see Ian, conflicted, very tearfully forgiving him, but ordering him into exile from Walford - where he'll return in the next 5-8 years, older, with a new head and intending to stick around longer.

Up to you hun. If you entered already then your entry will be disqualified and both guesses wont count. I don't visit the site that often so I would check if I had in the last couple of days visited that section via my history folder.
But if it would make you feel better about it enter but if you figure out you didn't don't do it twice as they will disqualify you.
Your approval is neither desired nor required.

Julia Smith "We decided to go for a realistic, fairly outspoken type of drama which could encompass stories about homosexuality, rape, unemployment, racial prejudice, etc., in a believable context. Above all, we wanted realism".

Could it not work though if the killer is never officially caught with either the real killer unaware that they killed her (seeing her last alive, the body moving) and someone either knows who the killer was a covered it, or believed that they themselves were responsible?

I still wonder if Lucy's final words to Max will prove significant. How tragic if it was her pledge to be a better person that got her killed.

Nice of DTC to say that (and thank you MG for reposting), but as Emma said "its still murder", so even if it was by accident, someone has still committed a crime. (think Ben with Heather, and Jay, because he was there).

Maybe they are not going to have any trouble writing people out for panto season next year??
Just livin' in perfect New Zealand!

I agree with what Mimi says for who she thinks killed Lucy. Mimi said: "At first, I thought it was Peter. And I’m definitely still leaning towards the Beales. It has to have some dark resonance, otherwise it’d be pointless."

Why are all these polls SO adamant that Abi killed her?

Abi - a murderer? As an avid viewer, I don't get it. I'd be so disappointed.

DTC saying he hopes the viewers will say that makes sense, was upsetting and is clever makes me think its someone really close to home I don't think it would be upsetting if it is Whitney, Abi, Max, Jay, Ben, Denise, Pam and Les IMO but if it is Ian, Jane, Peter or Cindy it would be quite upsetting.

Because the show is doing its damndest to make Abi look suspicious and paint her as the killer. So the casual viewer thinks it's her. But it's not - she's too obvious.

To me, that says...

Actually that says a lot of people! Whitney and Peter especially as they had reasons (that we know of) to dislike her on that day. Peter would have been jealous of what Ian said and we now know what Lucy was doing to Whitney.

I think it rules out Ian at least :D and I think it rules out some of the theories we've seen. I guess the truth will be simple

To over think it suggests Whitney to me. The one with the most 'valid' motive.

I think at it's heart 'Who killed Lucy' was always going to be a simple story arc in terms of the actual killer's motive while a big web of misdirection and character exploration was woven around it.
