Someone mentioning symbolism..Could there be something in the fact that this is all being revealed the week lent begins? Or is it just coincidental that she was killed on Good Friday and then it all comes out as the lead up to Easter begins again.

Apparently there might be a death in live episode. We are going to be teased with something big tomorrow and there are rumours going around this is it.

My guess is either Stan or Dean. I can't see who else it could be really.

Stan is around until April.

I have heard Dean will meet his maker on Friday as his year long contract expires this month.

Oh.

Lauren works at Beale's restaurant. That's why she recognises the number.

I was also thinking we will (most likely) have something new major starting up from Easter.

God weird that they haven't shown Lauren in Ian's restaurant for half a year.
But yeah I'm actually pretty certain Lucy was killed in Ian's restaurant, she woke up there at the start of the episode and it would leave more of an emotional blow on the audience for her to die there. Also the restaurant was featured heavily in the episode following. Particularly the kitchen (seriously watch the episode lots of dangerous artillery lying around, anything goes in there) I also can't believe it was Denise or that she could've slept through what happened to her..
I think Lucy was planning to move out and stay at the flats for a while. Or go down to Brighton where I think Ben was during Ian's breakdown. Hence the note she writes on a pad in the promo pictures, She takes the jewellery box with her for sentimental reasons, looking at the size of the box it can easily fit in Lucy's now empty bag.
Then she went to Ian's restaurant to collect something she'd left earlier that morning as her and Lee were chased out of the restaurant. She could've left something behind or wanted to nick money from the till to support her fare ETC, since she was mugged earlier. So yeah, I'm sure the Beal's house is a red herring to throw us off scent of who the killer could be.

Do you think we will find out the murderous culprit(s) at the end of the 19:30-20:30 episode or during the flashback episode?

The flashback.

We'll see a character confess to killing Lucy at the end of the hour long episode and then the flashback will show us who really did it.

yep hence the Ronnie vs. Emma last second switch death on new years day... and then tricking us when Nick died in Thursday's episode only so he could really die on the Fridays' trick. It seems to be the a staple of D T W. Bet they'll do the same with whoever is offed in the live week.

Thought so, but part of me thought they'd narrow it down to 2-3 at the end of the hour episode and make everyone tune back in for the flashback episode to find out the actual killer. Otherwise, many casual viewers may find out who the killer is at the end of the hour ep and obviously then know the killer and not actually tune in for the flashback.

This probably should be in the other thread but that's an interesting development since Matt was meant to in talks about renewing his contacting but if this does come off this mean we were right all along when those rumors were denied several months ago

anyhow back to Lucy and after what Lauren wrote in the card yesterday, i'm down to 4 (possibly 5) suspects-Ian Jane, Peter or Cindy (with an outside chance of it being Denise)-surely after what Lauren wrote, the culprit has to come from the inner Beale circle (which why I've included Denise just in case since she was still in a relationship with Ian at the time of the murder.)

Always possible that the "Matt wants to stay" articles were an Emma type decoy.

DTC must be laughing his head off... Whilst pulling the strings! This is absolutely hilare! :) he obviously will not be revealing anything 'til the last minute and with 5 or 6 twists in the 29 minutes running up to it! He knows we are not dumb he knows we enjoy the drama he knows that we like to understand and follow the string he lays out for us... And then changes tack and we explore the next string... Why do we let him toy with us???? Because: we LOVE IT! So he continues to do so 'til his deadline is up... Let's face it he doesn't do obvious, paints the police elite as lovesick puppy ex (Bryant), looking for Lucy in Max's pants (Shaggerhayes), indignant cow (Keeble), not quite convinced that Emma got it right, or even that the true culprit knows it was them!! Lauren figuring it out is slightly more believable but sounds like she is using the carried error of Emma's assumptions... I think we will all be very pleased when DTC doesn't disappoint by giving us an ending and killer that he didn't put a neon sign above :)))

I have a couple of theories but I really do think it could a few different ways at this point. There are however a number ideas that I think have to be right...

1) Lauren is wrong about the killer- Lauren is dropping heavy hints about the killer being Jane or Ian. There's no way they would spoil the surprise this close to the reveal. I think Lauren accusing who she thinks the killer is will cause the real killer to come forward.

2) Whoever killed Lucy didn't mean to - I can't see any of the suspects being cold blooded killers plus we have that line from Emma (something like- "it's still murder"). I'm guessing an accidental death or a struggle gone too far.

3) The killer isn't going to be punished for their crime. Whether the police blame it on Nasty Nick or they never find out I just can't see anyone going down.

Dtc has said that the killer is a monster. I guess that's probably largely based on perception. But if a beale killed her even by accident, staged a mugging and pretend not to know anything and continued to live in the beales household, I can see that as cold blooded and a monstrous act.

I'm not saying they are an angel but I mean cold-blooded as in they went in to that scenario with the intention of killing Lucy. I don't think that was the case but I may be wrong.

New theory:

After her rows with Ian and Peter, being mugged by Ben, threatened by Max and accosted by Jake, Lucy wrote a suicide note. She was also feeling insecure as she showed Lee. Maybe Whitney also sent her a nasty message. She was then disturbed by Cindy, who been upstairs and had already left a voicemail to come back.

Lucy threatened to kill herself and in a panic Cindy phoned Jane. A struggle broke out to stop the overdose and she hit her head. Jane arrived to find Lucy dead and Cindy distraught.

Panicking, Jane dumps the body. When hearing Lucy is dead, Max assumes she died from her previous head injury. Boom. When the truth comes out everyone is left feeling guilty.

Or, Cindy causes Lucy to hit her head and she storms out and is later found dead by Max/Abi who dump the body. Cindy doesn't think she's to blame as Lucy ended up on the Common, and Max thinks he is to blame.

The one thing I can't explain is the photo of Lucy inside the Walford Common flats. I don't know if they should have released that, because it potentially discredits all other theories to date. If she was killed in the flat then the killer could be someone else entirely.
It wouldn't discredit if the flats was when she was with Jake earlier in the evening?! Your theory could still be right :)

I thought it was a misquote? Ie he said the killer is amongst them as per trailer slogan but a journalist misheard?

After seeing pictures of Lucy writing a note in the Beale's house, I've come up with a new theory. I don't know how logical is or how well it holds together but I thought it could be possible.

What if Lucy planned to leave and was writing a goodbye note to Ian before going when someone disturbed her? That someone being the killer. My guess is Whitney. They had an argument and Lucy was hit in the head by the jewellery box. Lucy didn't die straight away but was seriously injured. Never the less, she told Whitney to leave and she did so.

Then after Whintey left, she collapsed and died. Jane and/or Peter and/or Cindy then come home to find Lucy's body. Shocked, they also discover the note and mistakenly believe it was a suicide note. The note also blames Ian for his treatment of Lucy so not wanting Ian to discover the truth in fear of it causing him to breakdown, they move her body to the common and destroy the note, making it look like a murder.

This would fit in it the Beale's suspicious behaviour and also explains why Whitney hasn't cracked since her death. She may worry that she was responsible but as the body was moved, she's convinced herself that it wasn't her.

It also fits with the quote about 'very few people knowing what happened to Lucy that night, including her killer'.

It is a bit convoluted and I'm not sure how logical the moving of the body is but I figured I should post my theory on the off chance I was right.
You could be on to something here... I have been speculating with my friend for ages what if lucy was planning something to completely throw everyone in turmoil, like kill herself but make it look like lots of them were suspects hence one of her social media posts about people never underestimating her again!

Bit far fetched but her death looking like suicide to others who moved her is a great call. ;)
