Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

All the theories about the Beales kind of ruined the big shock they wanted tonight to be. I guess this is why Adam has been joking so much about him being the killer as he wanted to throw us off.

I was beginning to think the Beales looked a bit too obvious at the end and it started to look likely we would get a final twist. Lauren could have been interesting, seems unlikely now, but at this point there are no clues to guessing who it could be. I just don't want it to be Cindy as we've barely seen her and I don't care about her, but anyone else who makes sense would be fine.

Also, I guess it makes sense they wouldn't sacrifice any of the major Beales and rather make them the final red herring.

My Aunt thinks It's Ian( and said this last Wednesday I think) so the regular non forum viewer thinks its the Beales as well as us fanatics.

Ian is looking very smug, I don't think it can be him. Unless he really doesn't know and will be brought brutally down to earth.

I can't believe we're finally on the eve of the reveal.

Looking back on the storyline, I think it's been brilliant. Admittedly it hasn't been perfect- some of the pacing has been questionable and the police have been their usual soap selves. Despite its discrepancies however, Who Killed Lucy will go down as one of my favourite storylines ever, if not my favourite.

I've been hooked; gripped; obsessed, since last February. I don't want to think about how many hours I've spent rewatching episodes, posting theories and generally thinking about the story. With that said once it's all over I will doubtlessly suffer major withdrawal.

After ten months I think it's inevitable that many people will feel let down by the reveal, but whatever the outcome I think Dom and the writers deserve a great deal of credit. They've crafted a truly unguessable murdery mystery unlike any previously seen in soap, leaving us not to just question the who but also the how, where and why.

We're on the home stretch. I'm ready. It's been one hell of a ride.

Jane wad obviously preparing for a showdown. And she was concerned about where peter was. Could she have believed it was peter and she was covering for peter when all the time it was someone else?

Food for thought, Lucy died 10 whole months ago today.

Where has the time gone?

I actually think they are setting up everyone, Tuesday's ep set up the Brannings, today's set up the Beales. I expect tomorrows will set up the supporting characters like Denise, Whitney and Lee right in time for the flashback ep. I'm guessing the moment that Lauren visited the Beales on Good Friday (looking for help about her drinking) is going to be pivotal. Probably something to do with Jane and the fact that she said she saw Lauren.

Going into tomorrows ep I'm really thinking Cindy.

In various interviews the past year, Laurie Brett has maintained that the killer wouldn't have to leave the show.

As if.

The victim was an important legacy character, daughter of the longest-serving character on the show. The only way the killer would be allowed to stay is if the people protecting him/her found a convenient sin eater on whom to levy the charge. The first of such people was Jake Stone. Remember when Phil and Sharon believed his innocence, and even the police didn't have enough charges to hold on him, both Ian and Peter wanted to see him remain in custody, never mind that the man was innocent, it deflected police attention from themselves.

It's no coincidence that Nick is dead in a nearby house, a man with two murders under his belt and a known psychopath wit a drug problem. There's your scapegoat. Like Bradley, he's dead. Unlike Bradley, he was disliked.

The only one of the suspects whom Ian could ever forgive for killing Lucy would be Peter. He would forgive him in the way Dot forgave Nick thousands of times, but he'd ask him to leave Walford, take a self-imposed exile. If Jane helped him, Ian might strive to understand how Jane did this to protect Ian's son and how she strove to protect Ian from the truth, but Ian is afraid of being alone, so Jane is now stuck with him.

Five-six years down the line, Peter Beale returns with a new head.

Speaking of Nick, Dean is Shirley's Nick.

The only true red herring is Denise as Dominic Tread-Well has dressed her up as the culprit in a symbolic red. I believe everyone else however unconciously played a part in the chain of events that led to Lucys demise however. All except Denise who after a shitty year will achieve happines when Kim gives her a little cousin.
The Beals will naturally try not to believe the awful thought that it could be one of them -barring 'Jane of no shame' who knows who did it - However remember when Peter was going to sing "Women in red" on karaoke night? The song is about a woman to drinks too much wine which of course points at Denise. She's clearly going to be the one under the audiences scrutiny tomorrow. It's even more apt that the person I think killed Lucy is running around looking for the one person he hopes did it (in the preview clip for tomorrow) and Denise is the only one not visibly present. Peter did it. But he was on drugs when he accidently hit her and didn't know his own strength, he ran out and is now shocked to learn Lucy was killed at home because he convinced himself Lucy was murdered in an violent mugging. The reason Peter is running around now is because he's subconsciously in denial about when he hit Lucy. It's now more plausible to Peter that he could've killed her and he can't stand that.

I thought Peter had planned to sing Lady In Red. Which was a soppy love song written by Chris de Burgh for his missus, and had nothing to do with a woman drinking copious amounts of wine. :D

Sorry you're right it's lady in red by Chris De Burgh which as you said is about love and obsession etc. Still I wonder if it has any meaning, probably not. :)

If Max believed Abi killed her, then he could very well have moved the body. He may even have got Jay to help him, considering he was Abi's boyfriend at the time.

Peter was upset the night Lucy died. He wasn't on drugs. It's always been stressed that Peter was the twin who never got involved in actually taking drugs, but rather sought to control Lucy's habit by buying certain amounts for her. Control is an important for Peter. On the night Lucy was killed, Peter was angry at Ian for having inadvertantly said that Lucy was his favourite. If you're upset enough, your adrenaline flows and your strength increases. Besides, it wouldn't have taken much to have killed a slight girl like Lucy.

Peter killed Lucy. Lauren told Peter that Lucy was killed at home, and Lauren clearly thinks Peter did this - otherwise, she wouldn't have split with him or tried to abort his baby. Jane covered for Peter, and now Peter's about to throw her under the bus as the killer.

Remember a few things about Peter - his part in his friend's death in Devon, the way he manipulated and passive-aggressively bullied Lola, then dumped her callously for Lauren. He has, on occasion, tried to manipulate Lauren as well. He was doing so tonight.

It might still be, as they were trying their best to portray him as innocent and like the ideal boyfriend/familyman tonight.

Shall take your word for it, in any event I will still think it's him. But if he really is actually trying to put Jane in the frame then I've had a huge lapse in judgement over Peter. However is interesting that Hetti Bywater said in an article that Peter was her own choice second to a suicide. She dreamt Peter had intentionally killed her and premeditated, it which would take an extreme amount of Patience and control on Peter's part. If their is this really dark side to Peter I'm not sure how it would make the actors emotional. DTW said the reveal would leave a lump in the viewer's throat, I always attributed this to some sort of tragedy. But maybe if the story is told in the right way it could work.
