Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

It's possible that Lucy could have been hit hard enough to hit her head on something on the way down which could well have killed her.

If it was Nick, it's the greatest cop-out in the show's history. It doesn't add to anyone's character, we know Nick was a total bastard even without this, it has no impact as everyone knows what Nick was like and Nick is dead so there can't even be a confrontation scene.

It's a Beale (Ian, Jane or Peter) and I fully believe that it was Jane who Emma met and it was Jane's car that Emma was referring to.

Ian is not completely out of the frame. I still think it's possible he killed Lucy in a moment of tragic madness and psychologically blocking it out and Jane is keeping it from him in order to protect his sanity. Ian was very keen to see Jake go down for it despite the mounting evidence that he didn't do it. This could end up with Jane and Ben blaming the dead Nick, that way Ian gets to blame someone who can't answer back and doesn't discover what happened for himself. It's a possibility.

Walford is about to change, lives are about to be destroyed, alliances will begin and the residents will never be the same again. Welcome to "Dungeon". New fan fic, coming soon...

Thanks Nick M for the brilliant sig!

Did it end with you getting whacked over the head with a black box?

No, but maybe there's a clue in there, maybe they were bickering.

Now we know we'll find out in the flashback, I think there will be a twist towards the end. Lucy will be with someone about 25 minutes into the episode, but it won't be them.

I'm so confused now I'm starting to wonder if I did it .... :$ :D


If I had to pick someone though I'd go with Peter, though I haven't yet crossed Jane and Cindy off my list. Cindy hasn't featured much lately which in itself is making me suspicious!

But if it does turn out to be someone from the Beale fold, will the police ever find out or will they cover it up? The flashback episode is making suspicious that the 'murderer' (could have been accidental/not realised what they'd done) is happening to show us what happened therefore letting us in on the secret but no necessarily anyone paying the price for it.


(apologies if this has already been said, haven't read the whole thread as it's ginormous and I've only really got curious who did it in the last week or so as I'd have driven myself bonkers by now if I started wondering all those months ago!)

I'm stumped as to how they can show a flashback episode without really addressing the how's and why's. You'd think it should be pretty apparent on screen how Lucy died.
I can only assume they are even more decidedly torturing us by mashing together an unreliable narrative so no one in Briton will have a clue who did it till the last moment; By this I mean a Pulp Fiction style narrative, something where the pace of the episode is seamless & the suspects doings are simultaneous, so we know all the scenes takes part together in "unison time". Maybe each character will illustrate this by checking the time at the beginning of their scene to let the audience know how it relates to Lucy's last moments, If you've seen "Run Lola Run" you get me. And I know it's unrealistic.. but they did the same thing to allude us with the mobiles in New years days ep.
This is also helpful in keeping the lid on it until the episode has neared the very end of the wire... so before the final scene happens they'll skirt through all the suspects positions in Walford... doing out of character things like prowling around their houses, walking in the square, being somewhere where they said the weren't in their alibi interviews, all this unusual behaviour still to keep us off scent.

I don't know how it'll end, the predictable formula in a whodunit would be to cut suddenly to the culprit & reveal something you thought was implausible. But as this is a known sensationalist trope and they've already promised this week isn't going to follow any normal rules, is it a stretch to think they won't be this predictable? Two guesses. we'll witness either the briefest of confrontations between Lucy and the killer, arguing over a thing which makes a bit of sense to us but won't fill in every blank (to be explained next episode), or maybe they'll just have a shot of Lucy dying with the musical box playing and the camera pans to the culprits face? Something along these lines seems more logical than a long enacted scene. It allows the actor in question to not have any real opportunity to screw it up with their lines (or acting).. which I imagine after ten strenuous months D T W would kill them for.

Says in this article there will be more than one call back to past important stories and iconic moments in Eastenders. Found out that Danny Dyer kicks Peggy out of HIS pub in one of the episodes, which made me happy, I'm not sure what Peggy will make of Mick. Thoughts as to how the hour long episode will end? In the trailer Lauren and Peter are at the hospital, either someone they both care about has got hurt or possibly Lauren went there amid asking some questions about her pregnancy. Someone already mentioned they think it will end with Lauren, Jane (or keeble) declaring they know who the killer is to someone who is important. My fingers are crossed that they will copy the 'who shot Phil?' storyline, having a person ring a doorbell - then camera cuts to 14 different doors! que a drumroll. If they don't do this then I reckon they will still insert a different call back to the 'who shot Phil?' story line as it was the first who-dunnit Eastenders ever did and achieved the third largest power surge on record.
The Archie whodunit was good but not quite as iconic, DTW said he was disappointed in how it was handled. However it makes me wonder what other storylines they'll copy, will a house or car explode? Nah.

I'm expecting (or hoping!) for a straightforward flashback episode from start to finish.

I'd imagine the why answered in the aftermath in the live will just be a more personable account. Perhaps the confession as it were is a blatent lie an the flashback shows us what really happened.

I think the big twist will knock it on its head. I don't think the characters will find out the truth/the real truth in the same way we as viewers do.


I found an old trail on my phone earlier. The one of mick just standing on a blank background and the words there's a killer amongst them.

In it, his hand is bandaged up, thoughts? Especially with the dean death rumours or another dean mick confrontation.

Re Mick's hand, I was wondering if they were going to recreate the end of the first episode as well as the beginning, with a window getting smashed.

I also want a straightforward flashback, starting from Lucy leaving the house and Denise coming home, and ending with a shot of her body like the one we saw at the end of her last episode. I still think Liam appearing is interesting. I can imagine what everyone else on the list was doing, I'm guessing Liam was with either Whitney or Cindy at some point.

Even if we see exactly what happened, in the next episode we'll still need to see the murderer talking about it, and people explaining why they covered it up/moved her body/the fact they met Emma/why they buried her phone etc. And I want to know how Emma and Lauren worked it out, which will be interesting as neither of them will be in the episode.

No, none of us one won. And we also seemed to be feeling attracted to each other despite being brother and sister...almost incestuous. That was the mind-fuck of it.

"I can't tell anyone at the moment! We've narrowed it down a bit to about 11 people, but it still could be anyone.

"We've been very firm from the beginning that there are twists and turns all the way through this story. So the betting's still on - it could still be literally anyone."

So does that mean that it may not be one of the suspects that killed Lucy?

If it's not one of the suspects I'd imagine it would bomb and ruin the story especially as he is someone we've largely been unaware of.

I think he will be related to someone or been mentioned before hence why his character name hasn't been released yet

I think surely they wouldn't change it now. James Payne said in his interview he wouldn't want to have to do loads of re writes. I think it's just to hype people up a bit. There's probably a contingency but the killer has been set from the start.

In fact I think a lot of the stuff theyve written isn't the truth. I'm sure actors have been told in advance and more people know!
