Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

Was it Dean? Could it have been Ben, watching someone else just out of shot?
I am thinking Broadchurch here, where they only showed us bits of things, but it all made sense when it was all joined together at the end.

Would Ben or Jay (since we know he has a thing for hoodies and other dubious clothing), have anything against Lucy?


I am still favouring Ronnie, but that is based on prejudice (as in, I don't like her, so if I can pin it on her, I will, even before I know the full facts) rather than logic


As WalfordE20 has also just reminded us, Ronnie does turn up and leads Charlie out the pub. We haven't seen much of Ronnie lately.

I think it is a character we haven't seen too much of, but will see more of from about October.
Just livin' in perfect New Zealand!

One more thing. Dom said the curveball will air in the run-up to Christmas. Well, Peter and Lucy were born on the 9th of December. Hmmm.

I've just thought - if they're going to film a flashback episode they'll need to cover up the fact that Lee's hair has grown. I wonder how they'll do that... Beanie hat anyone?
Think you are spot on here.

Remember Billy said Lee was following Lucy. Lucy must have boarded the bus after her row with Billy as Jake had to have been back in the flat by then.

I think a flashback episode is certain because Hetti and Adam both seemed to hint that they knew of something big but couldn't reveal it yet. So as Hetti is gone only thing she could be referring to is a return to film that.

Revealing it as Lee wouldn't really be anything new though. I'm not sure what else it could reveal, and if Lucy kept going back and forth from Walford then it might make the situation slightly contrived. I'll admit it's not impossible though.

Also Jamie Lomas hinted about being back next year.

I hope if they do a flashback episode it's in addition to the anniversary episode, not the actual episode itself. I like the show to stay as diegetic as possible (thanks for the word MrJames ;) )

I feel like it might be quite good to have the flashback episode the episode before the anniversary with it either ending with the killer reveal or on a cliffhanger of who the killer is going to be (similar to Phil's knocks on the door after Who Shot Phil?). Then the anniversary episode deals with the unveiling of the killer, juxtaposed against some sort of nostalgic 30th anniversary event in the Square.

Because I'm amazing, I had this planned out months ago:

Monday 16th - Killer revealed at the very end of the episode.
Tuesday 17th - Flashback episode detailing Lucy's last hours alive.
Thursday 19th - Hour special aftermath, anniversary episode, all kinds of shit happening.
Friday 20th - 'The morning after'. Aftermath of the aftermath.

I feel like they'd want to save the killer reveal for the actual anniversary episode though because that's the big 'event'. But the flashback episode would only really work before the killer reveal I reckon (in order to maximise the tension during scenes we already basically know about and so clues and hints can be dropped), so I'm thinking the flashback episode would be 17th as you say, but it will finish just before the killer is revealed.

Us fanatics would then have less than 48 hours to madly piece together the clues of the flashback episode before the killer is revealed on 19th.

It just hit me that this is still six months away. I'm in a bad place right now.
"I loved it in the Olden Days because you talked more. There’s more action now. You know, we would do scenes in the Rovers of me, Bet and Doris Speed with a cup of coffee each before we opened the pub, talking about absolute rubbish. But it was something, and it was what people do." - Betty Driver

I'm hoping there will be two episodes on the anniversary, the first one ending with the reveal and the second one being the flashback. It would take the tension out of the flashback episode as we'd already know who did it, but if it was revealed in the flashback we'd miss someone finding out what happened or confessing which is what I'd rather see.

Personally I'd prefer the flashback to come before the reveal so we're left guessing for thirty minutes straight- preferably sixty.

With all these twists and turns, we really need to see everything for ourselves. Casual viewers won't bother piecing everything together in their heads, and as the majority of the audience fall into that category I think flashbacks are a near-certainty. Without them I just don't see how they could do the reveal justice. This is so much more than the usual whodunnit and deserves so much more than the usual half-baked explanation.

Perhaps the beanie thing is just a way to get out of jay that he knows bens whereabouts as we know ben is on his way back.

I haven't watched the alibis but honestly id imagine most of them saw lucy that night so it reveals nothing in that sense. If peter had had a final moment with her, whitney, even lola then regardless of their alibis they still fitted in a lucy meeting somwhere along the line.

maybe lucy was letting out a property to ben, they are related after all.

Also, who messaged her to meet them? Am I right in thinking we still dont know?

It's been established that the email was from Jake. It was meant for Lauren but Lucy went in her place, found him drunk and brought him back to Walford... which reminds me of something. The person who dumped her body has to be someone that knew she had reason to be on the Common, i.e somebody who knew Lucy met Jake or that she was selling flats there.

I imagine that's why Charlie and Les have alibi videos- its foreshadowing to the Nick reveal not anything to do with Lucy's murder, as I can't see Les killing anyone and I think both him and Pam are here for the long haul. And oddly I think Charlie is also intended as long term as they've given him a child he has no idea about, and Yvonne returning ties into the idea

The idea I'm getting is that although Charlie, Nick and Les faked the death and funeral, the motive isn't money I think Nick's finally crossed someone far more dangerous than himself and for Dot's sake he told Charlie to keep an eye on her after his 'death'. How Yvonne fits in beyond been the abandoned ex-wife I don't know.

Ooh exciting init?

But doesn't Emma 'doubt her decision' or something?

It depends whether Emma arrests Charlie in her capacity as a police officer on Lucy's case, or just more generally as a police officer.

I think Charlie might find out about Emma and Max during the family celebration. Perhaps Max does some digging and then Emma arrests Charlie to make sure he doesn't blab about them? I love how all these stories intertwine!
