I agree. Like I said if an adult killed Lucy they would have known straight away they they killed her. |

I always disputed how someone could have been naive enough to not know they'd killed Lucy. Bobby is the only person who I can believe wouldn't know. I'm still upset we never got to see Lucy die after all this time, and Jane sobbing on Walford Common would have been an amazing scene, but after last night I think the entire storyline arc has been absolutely brilliant. |

So if they ever decided to do a who killed Lauren, an older Oscar will be the culprit. Reason why: She steals my screentime. |

I guess in one way I was relieved that it wasn't, for example, Peter without having realised what he did - because it felt like that was always going to be a stretch in terms of being believable and the explanation would have to be very convoluted. In that respect, Bobby is the only realistic answer. But I don't like how it was handled, in terms of what goes on outside of the story, if you know what I mean - the show hype, the listing of suspects. I get that people will do what they have to in order to protect the reveal and lead people astray in their thinking - but it was very much billed as a whodunnit with a particular list of suspects. Had it not been for that, I don't think those who don't like Bobby being the killer would have so much room to make certain accusations regarding childishness and shock value. That said, if all those trappings had been removed and this had just played out, I actually think it's quite clever and a bold choice. Last night's reaction episode was the best of the week for me - tragic, emotional, and a strong justification for the choice. I'm intrigued to see how this plays out in the long-term. To me, in many ways this storyline was totally in keeping with the history of the Beale family. I'm sure it must have been commented on before about what the impact would be on those kids of all the upheaval heaped on them in that house. Ian, with the best will in the world, has on many occasions let down his children and this is the result. I also found one of the most heart-wrenching, and ironic, moments to be Jane telling them Bobby had blamed Lucy and just wanted all the rows to stop - then there they are again yelling downstairs while he listens. |

I agree with this, although I suppose there would have been to much risk in that in terms of it leaking that Jane had dumped Lucy's body. They couldn't have done both the Bobby reveal and the dumping of the body live. |

Oh gosh yes! I'd forgotten about the original press release stating that the killer themselves may not even know. Funny how all the clues coming flooding back to you. I am so ready for a return to normal EastEnders now. Because we've had such a shortage of controversy in the last five years of the show, getting this double whammy in one night makes me feel a bit ill. Having said that, I don't foresee the drama relenting. (Bring Back Newman!) |

People on twitter are tagging this girl as having killed Lucy haha Eastenders. @bbceastenders: We cannot emphasise this strongly enough: @BobbieBeale did NOT kill Lucy. She is 100% innocent. #EELive Even ok magazine are commenting on how unfortunate it is haha. |

Oh. Oh. Dot said to Jane 'I've been saying goodbye to children. They should be saying goodbye to me.' This is Jane's reaction: ![]() She knows how Dot feels, and she wishes she could swap places with Lucy. |

I get this, I do. But I just think that if there wasn't this huge media circus around it, it wouldn't have been on 1/4 of the people's radars. 10m viewers? I don't think so. |

The storyline has been brilliantly done. So many little details that didn't mean anything at the time making sense now Jane talking bobby away with her Her hiding Lucy's belongings Bobby running away to the spot were Lucy was killed Janes car missing in the CCTV on the night lucy died Emma's response in the park 'it's still murder' Jane would have said 'he's just a child' Emma figuring it out in the vic re the '5 mins' about Patricks fall. Re the photo of Jane she looks terrified and rightly so. |

Emma's New Year's Day dialogue about the murder also makes sense now. 'How can you carry on as if nothing's happened? There's nothing more to say. You have wrecked too many lives and this has got to stop. Don't start negotiating. I know what happened.' And then in the park: 'That doesn't change anything. It's still murder.' Also on the 30th, Emma saying 'I'm glad I caught you' to Jane and her saying something very similar on the phone call. Also them both wearing the same shade of green. There could have been more clues at Bobby's involvement, but I'm sure there's more that makes sense. I'm determined to compile it into a video. |

Let's resurrect this thread. I really quite like the idea of another Walford resident discovering the truth about Bobby and then blackmailing the Beales over it, thus turning into a whole other mystery. You could have quite a good list of suspects - Abi, Ben, Max, Rainie, Phil. Whitney isn't beyond anonymously leaving a note for someone. I'd like that. |

We could start a new thread for it. "Who knows the Beales know who killed Lucy?"

I can't imagine anyone on the square doing something so disgusting except, at a push, Ben. But even then I find it unlikely. The only person I could ever imagine blackmailing the Beales is Nick Cotton but he's dead. |

I don't want anything like this. No blackmail, no elaborate mystery. At the moment, no one knows about what happened except the Beales, Cindy and, obviously, Lauren. Ian is basically being held a prisoner of his conscience. Kathy is returning. I would absolutely love for her to discover what happened and how Jane kept this a secret for one entire year almost. Yes, Bobby is Kathy's grandchild, but Lucy is the grandchild who remained close to home as a small child, when Peter and Steven were taken to Italy by Cindy. Lucy is also named after Kathy, having her name as her second name. Other than that, let's wait and see how Bobby's behaviour develops. I do think we have a child psychopath here. But no blackmailing. There are enough killers roaming free on the Square who haven't been punished. I count two waiting for legal retribution. Let's not make the killer a victim by blackmailing him or his family. |

When Ian starts thinking independently again, I hope he makes Jane go through the story of what happened that night again and trips her up on it because she was, to be frank, taking Lucy to the hospital my arse. He's already asked how she could act like that around Lucy's grieving family knowing what happened and there has to be some blowback for Jane here to stick in the dent in this "kindest person I've ever met" crap we hear from Masood on a regular basis. |
![]() 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! | |
