What I can tell you about Lucy Beale's killer is that on New Year's Day, viewers are going to be very clear on who did not do it," says the show's boss. "The list of suspects will become much, much smaller!"

I've been thinking that it could be a video from Roxy and Ronnie's housewarming party that shows all of the people who were there at the given time, thus giving everyone there, and thereby a large proportion of the Square, a massive alibi.

That's my idea anyway.

Brilliant idea, a big fuss was made about the party too.

I think I mentioned the party further back in this topic. Surely the police would have interviewed people there, and quite a few of them would have been there all evening so would have given each other alibis without the need for a video. Although I suppose the police could have done this without the viewers knowing.

Today's news has thrown me into turmoil. I was so, so sure Peter was the killer, and I really want him to be, but now I just don't know. There's no one I can think of that would be a more suitable choice, or cause more devastation. All the clues, the motive, the lack of questioning over his alibi, it all fits beautifully.

I think if Peter was the killer, the show wouldn't have confirmed Ben Hardy's departure. The upcoming curveball may point the story in a different direction and possibly towards the killer.

In the 'next week' section of What's On TV's new issue, it says this:

It's a huge week for the troubled Beale family as dark secrets start coming into the open. What will they reveal?

Colour me excited.

With Ben Hardy's departure official, that seems to rule out Peter. I never quite bought him as the killer anyway. I'm leaning towards Whitney or possibly Lola.

As Nick Cotton has called himself Reg Cox I believe that there is a high percentage chance that he will be a murder victim on the 30th anniversary and his murder scene will possibly show the killer in action rather than new evidence/confession coming into play. Therefore going with this we can rule out Abi, Whitney, Lola, Bobby, Cindy, Jane, Denise, Lauren etc... the possibilities left are Charlie, Ronnie, Nick Himself (suicide/accident), Ian, Sharon, Phil, Jay, Ben, maybe Peter and my pick (Aleks).

BTW, what I saw from tonights episode Lee is now less likely as Eastenders like dropping a spate of obvious hints about specific characters over a period of time, Abi ("Atleast i dont think shes killed anyone", "things die" etc), Lee (him going psycho now been addressed a few times, just obvious snap backs to him looking guilty numerous times).

Abi killing someone and holding it together for months? Suddenly dark Abi? Who dopily runs over her dog, who cries straight after dunking her sisters head in a bowl, IMO she should never ever be considered in the first place.

What needs to be considered is that DTC is trying to fool atleast the majority of the public so the obvious snap backs to Lee/Dark Abi stuff will be what the majority will be seeing, also Ben and Jay dropping to favourites on the betting market when it was revealed that they buried the purse/phone is funny to me as this makes them less likely to have killed Lucy.

So after all this it leaves 7 suspects if Nick does become a victim (IMO)

Sorry about the length just quickly wrote some opinions and thoughts into the idea of what if Nick (Reg Cox) dies on the 30th.

I'm practically foaming at the mouth at next week's developments. Who was Lucy's unsent text for? Who does Lee discover has lied about their alibi? Which Beale secrets interrupt Peter's proposal?

Full steam ahead. I'm also going to come out and say this: I no longer have any idea about who the killer is. At all.

So the killer will be exposed to the residents Xmas 2015 before he/she makes their escape on a plane, but not before Max confesses that he always loved him/her and Shaggerhayes meant nafink.

Ian killed Lucy
So says Ben Hardy, but if Ian killed Lucy, where does Ian go from here? Even if her death were an accident, he's willfully concealed it and perverted the course of justice with regard to the police. How would he not escape a prison term?

I'm sorry, if that's the case and Ian remains on the Square, then the show will not only have jumped the shark, it will have jumped the whale.

i really dont want it to be Ian. As I said a couple of pages back, it is hard to have sympathy for anyone who has kept it this secret for this long.

I know Ian took it hard (what parent wouldnt, and as much of a weasel he is, he does love his kids unconditionally).
If it is him, he should have come forward.
Just livin' in perfect New Zealand!

Whoever killed Lucy may have done so accidentally, but the fact that her body was dumped on the Common and the killer is obviously concealing something or has blocked the event from his/her mind, still adds to the seriousness of the act.

Some people noted that immediately before Lucy's death, Ian started exhibiting some of the physical quirks that developed when he had his breakdown - the scratching of his arm and his shuffling gait being two of them. Ian may have been the killer, but may have blocked the act entirely from his mind. If Ian is the killer, what does that leave for his future? He would have to spend time in some facility someplace. If not prison, then a hospital, if he's deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, but how could he live with himself having committed such an act?

I don't think Ian is the killer.

I did think Peter might be, and I'm still suspicious, simply because no one's bothered to get the story from Peter about where he was that night, amongst other things. Now we know that Ben Hardy's leaving makes it easy to think he may be the culprit, but I don't think he is.

Lee Carter is another possibility. Someone earlier suggested a PTSD episode, where he blacked out and did the deed and remembers nothing. Now we're having it introduced that Lee has a violent temper, has had one all his life to the extent that he left his sister scarred, so Lee is in with a shout.

Also, no one's questioned Whitney about what she got up to that night. We know there was no love lost between her and Lucy, that Lucy bullied her about her weight, that there was an issue about Lee at the time of Lucy's death, that Whitney was heard to issue the blank threat "I'll kill her" and send a card to the funeral marked "Rot in Hell" and that hasn't been pursued.

All of those are strong possibilities, but there are two, possibly working in tandem, who are stronger contenders for the killer.

Yesterday, Nick Cotton, laughingly, addressed himself as a psychopath. That wasn't a throwaway line. Nick isn't the killer. That would be the biggest cop-out in the history of the show if he were. He may, however, be accused of the deed. The psychopath in the Cotton family isn't Nick, at least not the one who kills ... and I'm not talking about Dot.

I'm staring to think it was Ian. If it was an accident he might not have to confess and go to prison for it. It will be a dark secret he harbours for the rest of his life and be more interesting for it.

It has to be someone, and Eastenders isn't so clever it won't be someone who seems wrong in some way. I think the impact on us will be that it seems very wrong at first and then we'll understand it.

I'm convinced it's either Whitney or Lola at the moment... they've received very little focus this past year and I think that means something.

Praying it's Whitney, I'll get a handy 60 quid if it is.
