I have had a spark

We all know the drama with upcoming storyline bout Kim in premature labour what if this story line goes on from Denise being branded the one responsible for killing lucy and shocked at her sisters actions which led to bring that on

Maybe it could be the start to that plot and then there's touch and go scenes as to whether the baby will pull through
I hope not. The aftermath of the reveal needs time to breathe.

Interestingly, the piece of paper lists all three voicemails, but Cindy's is the only one without a time.

Also, Emma can't spell 'alibi'.

Can she do nothing right?!

Sam Womack on Saturday Kitchin. She Dosen't know if the actor is aware of who killed her. She's in the live through.

I wonder how Thursday will end. I suspect with Ian and Jane dancing to the music selected by the audience then the Police coming in.

I doubt they have the guts to make it Ian so that makes Peter more likely.

But I don't agree that it would be boring or an anti-climax. No matter if we knew about him leaving or not it would still make for some very emotional and gripping scenes. Much more than if someone like Max or Whitney did it.

Funny way to celebrate the anniversary, though, to get rid of two legacy characters (from the same family).

We know DTC isn't averse to being influenced by the likes of classical Greek drama, Shakespeare or even the Bible to tell his tales. What could be more shocking or overwhelming than a Cain-Abel type situation, with one sibling killing his twin?

The tagline "Walford will never be the same" means something. Peter killing Lucy, even accidentally, would have an enormous impact on the Beale dynamic, and - by extension - the Brannings and the Mitchells.

Peter's reaction could possible have been one of guilt as well as shock. The only Beale I wouldn't buy having killed Lucy is Ian.

I somehow think this could be the end of the Hour-Long episode and then serve as a lead into the flashback episode.

I see one big hole, why in the name of Jehovah would Jane risk everything for Denise? It is not even reflected on at all. It is a ridiculous oversight. And if Jane had that info on Denise would she be trying to disrupt the wedding. She would stay the hell away.

The jewellery box was also in the house after Lucy died.

It's a very convoluted theory I think which seems to match events to the author's opinion in quite a contrived way, whilst missing out other important facts. Besides, Denise isn't trying to kill the spider in the trailer - she's fixing the floorboards. Why on earth would she be killing a spider with a hammer?!

Apart from the Cokers, the only two characters I'd see as unrealistic would be Denise and Ian. I wouldn't be thrilled if it were Peter in the long run but the short term repercussions would be poetic.

The only reason the Cokers are in the suspects is because of Emma's knowledge of the supposed events of Laurie Coker's death. It's pretty obvious Paul Coker is in the works and the story of his dad's death is his entry arc. The killer will be a Beale even if it is the soon to be exiting Peter it will have a huge impact on Ian.

Until news broke of Ben Hardy's departure I was totally and utterly convinced it was Peter.

New theory: Peter lashed out and injured Lucy, who later died. Max found her dead, saw her head injury and assumed she had been killed by falling in the car lot. He moved the body. This would mean he feels guilty, without actually having struck Lucy, and explain why he seemed genuine when insisting he's not a murderer. Some time later, Max told Abi and they cleaned the car lot. To date they still think the fall killed her.

Elsewhere, Peter realised he was responsible, explaining his multiple attempts to leave the Square. When Jane returned, he told her what happened and she helped him to cover up the crime by hiding evidence that he was Lucy's dealer.

It all fits into place. The only things I don't understand are how Ben and Jay are involved, and why Jane's car was missing that night.

As Benjamin said, why on earth would Jane have wanted to help Denise? Jane did nothing but undermine Denise from the moment she returned to Walford.

I do agree that Jane was heavily involved in moving Lucy's body and that she's covering for someone else's guilt, and that can only be one of two people - either Ian or Peter. Certainly not Cindy, who is an add-on Neighbours-like appendage in the Beale household, who doesn't even know Jane.

As of last week, I'm convinced that Peter killed Lucy - accidentally, but he killed her all the same. Jane covered for him.

I actually thought the same. I thought that, as they'd announced his departure, him being the killer would be too obvious; but sometimes, in mysteries, the culprit is so obvious, the answer is overlooked.

No one's ever questioned or ascertained what Peter was doing that night. We just saw him overhear Ian's tactless remarks to Lucy, run out and Lucy following him. By the time she got out the door, Peter was gone. The next time we see him is when Ian goes to Billy's flat the next day, looking for Lucy. Lola remarks to Billy that Peter returned late the night before, very upset. When Ian had to tell Peter about Lucy's death, Peter knew before Ian could even say Lucy was "gone."

Watch this:-



Peter knew. Of course, he'd be concerned that something serious had happened, the way Ian entered the Vic and took him by the hand, but by the time they'd got outside, Peter was hyperventilating and knew exactly what Ian was going to say. His behaviour subsequently, in hindsight, especially the way he tried to leave the Square on occasions, now points to his guilt. His entire demeanor points to that, including his blaming Ian, before Christmas, for everything bad that had happened to Lucy. What convinced me of his guilt this week was Lauren's proposal.

However he put a fair bit of effort into tracking down who the killer was. He did make the cabbie run through s could
If he did do it then he hit her but through she was ok until he saw Ian then realised she had died. He might not even know who moved her.
Wouldn't it be good if he thinks he did kill her after hitting her but the person who moved the body finished her off.

I see Peter sitting talking to Lauren.
Ian walks in, looking upset and says to Peter "not in here"
Peter and Ian (IIRC) had been arguing earlier, and both were concerned at Lucys disappearance
Peter sees the serious look on Ians face, realizes something is not right and willingly goes out with him
Ian tells him
Lots of emotional acting

This is why I cant see it being Peter. Peter would have known he had killed Lucy and moved, or helped move the body. I dont think he would have kept it inside himself for the 12(?) hours it took to find her, or for the course of the investigation.


I just have a lot of trouble with whoever it is keeping so secret, esp after meeting with Emma and Emma dying as well. That is something someone like Nick Cotton would do, not Ian, Jane or Peter.
Just livin' in perfect New Zealand!
