and the Carters have already got plenty going on without having a killer amongst them, but his movements on the night of Lucy's death have yet to be properly clarified.
It would make them true local family then. They all have at least one murderer amongst them :P

This might be really clever, or really stupid, so here goes.

I've been thinking, what if Peter loved Lucy? And by that, I mean what if he was in love with her?

Hear me out. I think his reaction to Lucy's death was more like a reaction to a lover's death. His speech at her funeral was amazingly emotional, and to someone who had never seen EastEnders, I bet they'd have thought he was talking about his partner. And this was someone who he went ages without seeing.

A lot of people thought that Lola was jealous of how close Peter was to Lucy. That makes me think this even more. Then of course there's Lauren. They've grown close recently because they both had a connection to Lucy. He told her he loves her, but I think he loved Lucy and just sees Lucy in her.

And another point. The photos that Pam found in Billy's house. Billy told Pam they were Peter's, and we all assumed that was a lie, but what if it was true? What if he was in love with her and he'd started collecting photos of her?

If this (admittedly unlikely) theory is correct, then Now that Lucy's dead, if he's with Lauren, maybe he feels like he's finally with Lucy. And maybe he killed Lucy. And if he did, then how 'upsetting' (in the words of DTC) would that be? A young guy so in love with his sister but unable to tell anyone, so killed her in order to be with someone who would remind him of her. Heartbreaking.

I'm probably a million miles off.

I'm no fan of Peter but Lucy was his twin and there was a special bond between them because of that. I don't think there is anything deeper in the funeral speech.

Could he have killed her? Yes. Did he kill her? Maybe but I don't think so. He is most likely a red herring but a red herring the police should be very interested in as his whereabouts on the night of Lucy's murder are unaccounted for and he was known to be angry with Lucy on the night she was killed.

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!

I really hope they have had a quiet word in the ear of whoever is playing the character responsible for Lucy's death. The worst thing about Who Killed Archie was everyone suddenly acting guilty between Christmas and the anniversary and the fatal flaw in this storyline could be the character walking around carefree and innocent-looking for 10 months.

is that why we haven't seen Ronnie?


Daniel - I was trying to look for the Broadchurch angle, and you have just found it for me. You might be onto something :)

This is what I don't like.....how can you act properly if you don't know your character has killed someone? Unless of course the character genuinely doesn't know they've done it.

Hahaha. They've removed that dodgy CCTV clip! Damn it, I was just about to listen to it with earphones for the first time.

And now I want to know if anyone got fired...

They've kind of given away who gets arrested tonight on the website...

And now they've deleted it. Why does this always happen to me?

Without saying who it is, can you explain how they gave it away? Was it a preview clip?

Or could you post it in a spoiler tag? Intriguing...

The web team have made a few cock-ups lately. If DTC's reading this, I wouldn't mind a change of job!

Don't read the spoiler tag if you want to know who it is, but it was revealed by accident on the BBC EastEnders twitter page,

Jake Wood's choice of words on Strictly were very interesting. "Max is currently a suspect in a murder TRIAL." Accidental slip of the tounge for future events?

Do the police know that Ian lied about his alibi yet?

Actually does anyone know? Ian told Phil and he may have told Denise (?) But I'm sure he just told Peter that Denise had found out that he'd slept with a prostitute, which I guess everyone else just knows. But they don't know when. Is that right?

Also, do you think we'll see anything else about Shabnam taking Whitney's note?

I really could care less who killed Lucy...The fact that this storyline has dragged on since April for what I consider "a secondary character," makes absolutely no sense...Now, if someone had bumped off Kat, Alfie, Dot, Ian or even Max or Stacey, that would interest me. But Lucy? No way

I think your clearly missing the point. This story isn't about Lucy. But about those left behind like Ian, Peter, Whitney, Billy, Lola etc

Not to mention that Lucy, as a character, has been in the show since 1993. I'm not talking about the actress, but the character. She's the great granddaughter of the original matriarch. That's not what I'd call a secondary character at all.

Agatha Christie doesn't use much loved, popular cases. In many cases, the murder victim is the least important factor.

Same with Broadchurch. We didn't get to meet the victim at all in that.
You can't just come bounding in here like John Wayne on a Spacehopper!
