Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

I'd love and hate it to be Peter. No one else would fit the upsetting tag as much as him. Imagine if after months of desperately hunting the killer he realised he'd been starting at him in the mirror every day, and had killed his own twin sister over a careless comment made by their father. Peter's motive only came from what Ian said that night, so if he was responsible it would destroy them both. The dramatic potential for such a reveal is limitless, and would bring Lucy's movements from Good Friday full circle.

On the other hand, I've seen first hand what a mess it's been to exonerate Stacey from killing Archie and would hate for these lessons not to have been learned. Whoever is behind Lucy's death, aware or otherwise, it will inevitably write them into a corner and with one Beale twin now dead it's important that Peter's future on the show remains secure. Like his sister's death, I feel it would brilliant at the time but a few years later would be deeply regretted by producers past and present.

For reasons discussed in this thread, I feel that making Ronnie Lucy's killer would be a stroke of genius but also that ordinary viewers wouldn't be able to put the pieces together regarding Carl, Lucy, Lola, the cocaine and Walford Common. However, it wouldn't come from the heart so if I had to choose a killer I'd probably pick Cindy. She's more expendable, and with Beth bearing Lucy as her middle name would tear into the Beales once more.

I'm still set on Lee, not sure why, but it seems the likely option to me.

I think him too. But I think Dean may get the blame for it.

I still like the idea of Ronnie, we haven't seen much of her and I think she keeps slipping out of peoples memory. The fact she is carrying an important baby (Nick Cottons grandson, and her being a Mitchell) gives her a bit of status (bit like the baby Kate Middleton is carrying, important, but in a second tier way). When we last saw Ronnie, she was getting quite unhinged.

But I also like the idea of Lee. He is fixated on the idea of playing happy families and Lucy didn't strike me as someone who would be interested.
He will probably get off, due to his experiences in Afghanistan, and be just another murderer wandering round the square.

HALFWAY MARK KLAXON.

If the next five months go half as fast as the last five months have gone, the anniversary will be here in no time.

As for Abi, the red dress might be a clue. Red is the traditional colour of a killer. At the same time it could also be just symbolic, or a herring.

It has gone fast, but at the end, I would like to know why it took the police nearly 12 months to even get a viable suspect, let alone find the perp

I hope in October we have more of the Lucy story. Something around Halloween maybe?

That ending!! So many questions:

- How did Ben and Jay get Lucy's belongings?
- Did they find and move her body?
- If so, where was it? This could give a huge clue as to the killer's identity.
- Does one of them know who the killer is? They might be covering for someone like Ronnie...

No wonder Jay was so keen to leave Walford. It all makes a lot more sense now. I did think his reaction was a bit extreme for someone completely innocent.

Finally this story has been given the kick it needed. Full steam ahead.

I have a hunch that Summerhayes will get killed? She'll probably get her act together and start getting closer to who killed Lucy and bang she is offed before the truth is finally revealed...

Also, was it just a huge coincidence that many people 'recognised' Jay as the one burying Lucy's things?

I don't think it was, I think the show gave us viewers a little nudge to Jay's involvement before confirming it in its full detail tonight.

I'm thinking the pair of them found her dead and staged the mugging haphazardly to throw people off.

If robbing the shop on the night of Lucy's death is anything to go by, I'd say Ben just found the purse and phone somewhere, picked it up in hope of petty gain then realised it was Lucy's, heard about her death and then the two were stuck with how and where to get rid of Lucy's items.

I don't think a killer would be remiss enough to leave Lucy's personal items lying around for anyone to find.

Lucy clearly recognised Jay as she was getting off the bus although it looks like he didn't notice her at the time. Lucy did stick her nose into other people's business from time to time and possibly followed them, saw Ben (who was her uncle after all) and threatened to expose this to Phil and Ian. Ben mugged her for her phone to stop her, which could well have been in her purse at the time and ran off. Lucy was found dead later and Ben knew that with his history, any sign that he met Lucy that night could have been it for him. So he bullied Jay into the burying the phone and purse.

This makes more sense than them either staging a mugging after innocently finding her body (why? Even if were Ronnie and Ben knew it, he isn't that loyal) and I can't see them finding her body too unless the killer left her on the street or something which would be stretching it a lot.

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!

She might get killed, but I cant see her twigging anything. She is too thick. She is still looking for Lucy in Maxs bed.

I don't think the show would show their hand this early.

Ben does give us some new questions though. Obviously, when Ben came into possession of Lucy's purse and phone is the big question. Did he come into possession of them before or after she died? Did he come into possession directly or indirectly, namely through someone else? If Ben did cross paths with Lucy, when exactly was this? Was it before or after she met Jake or during but Jake, who wouldn't know who Ben is, was too drunk to remember someone else was there? If Jake does return and sees Ben, would things start coming back to him?

If Ben and Jay were in possession of Lucy's phone and bag before she died and didn't kill her then it also proves the police theory wrong that Lucy's personal belongings were taken by the killer to stage a mugging and cover their tracks. Although they did obviously dump Lucy's handbag with her.

This raises a lot more questions than answers.

I still think that Summerhayes will end up dead.

It's good that EE have had a mini break in this SL because cases do go quiet for a while until there is a major clue, so it will start picking up again soon. I'm still scratching my head suspects wise.

There is definitely something dodgy about Les and Pam Coker too, they creep me out and I reckon their surname is a major irony considering that Lucy was taking ''coke'' aka cocaine. I wonder if they or Charlie/Ronnie are connected to the drugs?

The Cokers do have something that will be revealed at some point but I think it'll be connected to their deceased son and how he died more than Lucy's murder. The show brought back Les and connected him to Nick Cotton who both had a drug addiction and dealt drugs so my guess is Nick dealt drugs to Les and Pam's son and he died as a result and in a odd way Nick sees his 'death' as atonement to the Cokers.
