Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

I've always liked Lola. It would be a shame if she died. Harold is a good actress. I do find it weird that both Lola and Whitney have been MIA and there has been no explanation of their absence. Have they been off sick? holiday? suspension? And why haven't we heard about it?

Forget eleven suspects, I think the killer was at the Beales' for dinner yesterday. Peter, Jane, Ian, Lauren, Max or Abi.

We know it can't be Lauren otherwise there's no aftermath and we've been promised an aftermath.

Peter or Ian would be very unbelievable because of their initial reactions and since independent conversations.

Jane wasn't a confirmed returnee when the story was decided as Waterloo Road was still going.

I rooted Abi to begin with but since think there's been too much emphasis that she's a red herring.

Max? Hmm, I'm not sure they'd risk it because he's just too central to the show and its history. Carols brother, Jims son, Stacey's ex, the father of two leading young characters. It's a risk.

Whilst Lauren being the killer is highly unlikely, I don't think that means that she won't be on the suspect list. Walford doesn't know that Jacqueline Jossa is pregnant (speaking of which, her bump was VERY noticeable in the kitchen last night).

Max strangely is starting to sound likely? Many murders are committed through failing relationships? Don't know where that would leave abi though with Lauren leaving too.

This is just a theory about what Emma discovers, but I'm going to put it in spoiler tags just in case.

I've said so many things over the last 8 months, but:

Jane or Abi did it.

Yesssss. Good one. Make sense with what we've seen in the trailers as well.

Would make sense... she'll become convinced that he knows something.

Then Lola will be killed, Jay'll end up letting slip to Billy about the phone, there'll be a bit of suspicious behaviour about Jay and Ben having the phone and Billy being creeped up before a breakdown scene in the live episode where he asks Jay and Ben how they got hold of it, and they say Lola asked them to help move the body because she couldn't have her Pops go to prison.

REVEALED: Billy Mitchell killed Lucy, he asked Lola for help but she got Jay and Ben on board and it'll all begin to unravel once Emma notices Jay's hat. He split up with Abi out of guilt - she was convinced he loved Lola but really he was covering a big secret.

Billy then works for the funeral directors who buried Lucy and that's why he was so uncomfortable when Pam confessed to helping her son die. The pictures under the sink, having access to electricity in the flat where Lucy was killed etc. Phil will now fight for custody of Lexi so Ben can raise his child. The Mitchell family are back at the forefront of the show... voila!

Or... billy thought he killed Lucy in the flat. He told Lola, who then moved the body with Ben and Jays help. The next morning when Lucy's body was found on the common Billy believed that Lucy must have been alive and something else killed her later. Without realising his own family have covered up the crime for him.

I'm starting to think Max knows something. I don't know, he has been awfully defensive about Lauren going to the police even with Jane as an alibi. It could also explain why he wants Emma to keep away from the case so much. I don't know if he killed her but I think he could be involved somehow.

I see Max's actions as a father simply protecting his daughter from her best friends murder investigation.

I think so too.

Listening to the new trailer, I am sure Summerhayes says "she". Also, the way the body was laid out, it was done by another female.
Summerhayes also sounded more upset at the killers identity, rather than happy she had cracked the case.
Who would she be upset about thats female? Lauren or Abi

I dont think DTC is ready to part with Lauren yet, so it has to be Abi


(although my personal fav is still Ronnie)

Wouldn't she already know about that?

Abi is definitely shaping up as the prime suspect here, with Max under suspicion and Emma being reluctant to hand the killer in. Obviously we don't know the full details yet, but I'm lost as to why she would finally crack the case and keep quiet about it.

I have always and will always think it was Abi.
"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 am 100% convinced now that it's Max. It's quite possible that the only reason he began a relationship with poor, dopey Dummerhayes was so he'd have her in his pocket. I think Wood doing Strictly Come Dancing was a very clever, calculated move because it would cement him in the audience's mind as a likeable person and would do Wood good once he leaves the show because he won't just be known as "the one who murdered Lucy."

I think Peter might actually kill Max (perhaps unintentionally) and get sent immediately to New Zealand while Lauren will leave Walford to live with Tanya ,traumatized by what her father did to her best friend. Which leaves Abi (who refuses to leave with her sister) to become a full fledged wacko determined to get Ben up the aisle while Cora reaches for the bottle time and time again.

Doesn't the killer not know that he/she killed Lucy? The way that Emma says "I know you killed Lucy" makes it sound like she's explaining it to someone who doesn't realise.
I can't see it being Max who killed her but I can see Emma saying that to Max thinking that she has solved it but being wrong - she's not the best copper, is she? This would put Max in the frame again, as per the spoilers, but it won't be him ultimately.
