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.
Thanks for your feedback. I am well aware of the "Eastenders" history and back story of the Beales. .I just find the other storylines and characters much more interesting. It's as simple as that.

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
This forum is about opinion...I am clearly stating mine....
Your point is well taken.
Regardless, the Lucy Beale story and murder does not interest me. That is not why I watch "Eastenders."
I am much more interested in the Carters and other "Eastenders" characters and plots. I really could care less about who killed Lucy...But if I had to speculate, I'm going with Peter.

Dexter 'goes outside' in the Monday April 21st episode. Just thought I'd put that out there.

and

just disappears

the Walford Police, being overburdened by a murder that happened 5 months ago have no more of a clue on what happened to him than they do Lucy.
Constable Summerhayes is again checking the inside of Max Brannings bed to see if he is there or if, indeed, Lucy has popped up there


Just livin' in perfect New Zealand!

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.
And in many cases re Christie, her murder victim isn't such a nice person either - Murder on the Orient Express, more than anything, shows that.

Adam Woodyatt has tweeted that he just had 'One of the best days at work, when I can tell you more I will' so that suggests that there is obviously -as we knew already- a lot more to come with this story. Exciting nonetheless...
EastEnders itself is not a warm bath - it's not a show that gives you a cuddle. It's a feral, untamed animal. It's the show that I wasn't really allowed to watch when I was little. I used to sneak down and watch it secretly, because it's naughty! It's a naughty, angry show about life!

Good to hear. The murder mystery is long overdue another kick.

Imagine if Cindy Beale killed Lucy.

I imagine this is the massive curveball DTC mentioned - it's supposed to happen in the run-up to Christmas so I guess they'll start filming it soon.

Oh Lord, this sounds curiously familiar. Wasn't Archie's killer originally supposed to be Peggy, but was changed for obvious reasons?

Reading this, and regarding what he said about the rationale coming "from the heart," for this to have any real impact on the programme, I'm thinking the killer would have to be Peter.

He is the only person whose whereabouts are, as yet, unknown - indeed, they haven't even been questioned - and yet, in a real-life scenario, Ian and Peter would have been the first people they would have tried to eliminate. I don't see Ben Hardy as the sort who would commit long-term to this programme, but rather, use it as something impressive on his CV. Losing Peter would, of course, decimate the Beales, but I have a feeling that they are intent on re-building them by moving Liam more into the Beale sphere (he is Lou's great-great grandson) and focusing on Cindy the faux Beale and the return of Bobby. Besides, I don't think Peter would be gone forever if the killing were accidental, with a recast somewhere down the line in the next few years.

I just don't think DTC would want to decimate the Beales further by having one dead child and the other a killer. He wasn't in favour of Stacey being Archie's killer in fear of what it would do to her and I get the feeling he wasn't a fan of the direction Ben went in under Kirkwood. To turn another long-standing, potentially iconic character into a killer seems to go against his ethos.

But, in that case, there's few people it could be who would have an impact and come from the heart. I'm still sticking with Lola personally.

At least we know it's likely to be someone close to Lucy and someone who'll have an impact, rather than a sensationalist reveal (a la Ronnie/Charlie) or a new character.

If it's not Peter, it's Lee. Lucy's body was moved to the Common, and Lola couldn't have done that unless she had an accomplice. Unless that accomplice was Jay.

Perhaps that's how it'll be limited on New Year's Day - it'll be discovered that the killer had no assistance in moving the body to the Common.

Or something will be found/seen by the viewers which links the murder to one family/group of characters.

I think we're being lead on a merry-dance to think it was Peter. If it's anyone from that household I think Cindy.

I also think that Cindy is still in the running-Just because she's been absent from Lucy's funeral until the birth of her baby daughter, doesn't make her any less of a suspect-especially since the false alibi is still to be addressed as well.

Still going with Lee. Someone else posted all the reasons why he would good for it and I haven't seen anything else that is as compelling.
