Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

For me at this moment I am torn between Dean, Ronnie, Cindy, Whitney, Nick or Steven.

I think I'd rather Dean or Ronnie at the moment.

I'm also now starting to fall into the Dean camp. So much more plausible than the Ronnie theories plus Dean being the killer does tie in with the press releases. DTC said the story would be sad and tragic. Not sensational. Ronnie is a sensational character. So anything she is now involved in is OTT and implausible. That's why its not her. Besides all that there has been zero hint she is dealing drugs and she didn't steal any drugs off Carl either. The money in the bag came from Mick who gave it to Phil as a deposit for the Vic sale. Ronnie stole that. Nothing else. A situation of Dean lurking in the shadows watching Shirley and being discovered by Lucy is much more plausible given that Dean also has reason to resent Lucy for his prison stint.

This storyline is making me wish my life away. I'm really desperate for it to at least be October just to see what else has been revealed by then. And don't even get me started on te Christmas twist.

Ah!

After tonight's episode my imagination has gone wild and I'm still just as clueless as to who killed Lucy. I've collected my musings below.

I know Whitney's meant to help with the playgroup, but I'm suspicious of her involvement with Billy tonight. I'm not sure she's the killer, but I'm not she isn't either.

When talking about finding Lucy's killer Ian said 'if he hasn't already left the country'. Do we know where Ronnie is now? Cindy is also off-screen at the moment, and I seem to remember granny Bev wanting to take her abroad. Be mindful of these two.

The final scene was the most interesting. If Dom's correct in what he says and the killer reveal is upsetting rather than shocking, then I think the person burying Lucy's belongings and the person that's truly guilty are two different people. It's telling that they chose tonight to show that end scene, after the phone and purse were specifically mentioned.

I'm starting to suspect Peter more and more. If it's him then the only way he can be redeemed is by him genuinely not knowing he did it, and as others have said he's never mentioned where he was that night. Ronnie is still at the top of my suspect list though. Until it's confirmed Lucy's things were buried at the allotments then neither she nor Cindy can be ruled out, and even then they may have had someone else do the digging.

I wondered if perhaps somebody is thinking they killed her when in actual fact they didn't.

Whether the person who did or not knows what they've done I don't know?

I assumed it was peter burying lucys stuff (like the creepy advert him digging in the allotments)

I am swaying more and more towards Peter doing it. That may be leading up to the upsetting rather than shocking reveal. Maybe Peter was drunk the night Lucy died which may explain why he may not remember doing it if he did not know he did it. That could explain why he has not mentioned where he was.

I feel like tonight's episode was such an important episode in terms of the wider community's view of the murder that I think the killer was present in the episode...

Potential Christmas Twists:
It is revealed that one character knows who the killer is.
Another character is killed.

I guess the November twist is something to do with Jake. Isnt that when his trial is due? (I am sure I read that somewhere).

I am all for it being Ronnie, but if what DTC is true, then that wouldn't be upsetting or shocking. What would be upsetting is if it is Peter or Ian. Even if it was Billy or Whitney, it wouldn't really upset me. But if it was Ian or Peter, it would also be shocking. So I don't think it would be them.

There won't be a trial as the CPS have confirmed they are no longer pursuing Jake.

Peter and Ian would certainly be shocking now, but by the time of the reveal, the evidence could point in their direction, making it a more natural conclusion.

I think we'll find out the identity of the killer at Christmas, and then the other residents will find out in February :)

At the moment, in regards to who the killer is, I'm torn between Denise, Phil and Dean.
Massive thanks to NickM for this wonderful signature! :)

I love that we are starting to see the policy's point of view. It's something that I was really hoping for.

Also, three months down, seven to go. We are RACING through this year.

After watching Thursday nights episode I have an inkling that Lola may have killed Lucy. The raw emotion she showed made me think this! Just wondering, why are some people saying they think Ronnie is the killer? As far as I'm aware (please correct me if I'm wrong) but Lucy and Ronnie hardly, if ever, interacted so I'm intrigued as to why Ronnie is a popular chief suspect.

Has anyone actually worked out who the reflection on the phone screen was as it was thrown in the allotment?

There definitely was a reflection and its been claimed around the internet that some have been able to zoom in and see but people are "certain" of it being either a bald man or a blonde lady in a yellow top or Jay or perhaps just a member of the crew or anyone else!

Funnily enough, people seem to think the episode was pulled off iPlayer because of this but the omnibus is up so I don't believe that.

I'm more interested in knowing if there was meant to be a reflection or if there was a cock up than who the reflection is of...

Check out a recent Showbiz Geek review "did Ronnie Mitchell kill Lucy Beale?" on YouTube for a quick summary of what links Lucy and Ronnie. Regular poster Mrs Peel has put forward a Ronnie/Lucy theory from the beginning.

The only other small bag of cocaine we've seen recently, apart from Lucy's, was found by Ronnie in Roxy's bag around Christmas which she had from Carl, who Ronnie killed...

Doesn't mean it has to be Ronnie but it would be plausible in terms of what we've seen.

Hope this helps.

Yes, the whodunit is not even the most interesting part of the Lucy storyline - which is the constant spilling of new secrets such as Rainie etc.

We can't read anything into that. There's no way they'd have the real culprit film that scene so as with Archie's death, Max's hit and run and probably numerous others the producers would have just used a random crew member.

I just watched that scene again, and I think this was someone from the production staff. There was definitely a reflection of a man with a high forehead, possibly bald, and then a flash of yellow, followed by a glimpse of another man. Extras/crew filmingn this probably got in the way inadvertantly.
