So, Reg Cox was killed in the first episode, and he'll die again in the 30th Episode...I'm liking the circle here - I'm just hoping Mick doesn't break the door down before saying "It stinks in here!" |

Nick (Reg) dies in the ruin of the Slater house (where Reg lived) and the first scene of anniversary week will be Mick (Den) kicking the door in ("stinks in 'ere don't it?") with Ian (Arthur) and Alfie (Ali) and finding Nick's body. And playing the role of Nick/murderer? Ben Mitchell. |

I could not agree with you more, and as you know, we rarely agree. This can only mean that June Brown is calling it a day. Dot would never EVER be able to live with herself for doing such a thing, and the actress would never countenance Nick being killer off unless she were finishing with the show. She is 87 years old and does limited scenes, and without Dot, what need is there for Nick? What I object to is that this is a totally sensationalist route to take. It's beyond laughable that the Square has become a haven for people who have killed. |

Absolutely. This is beyond jumping the shark. This is sensationalism at its cheapest. And furthermore, I predict they'll say Nick killed Lucy, even if he didn't and thus protect the real murderer, whom we'll know. |

I mean I don't mind that that Nick is being killed off especially after all the murders he has committed, and I understand the how his death would be symbolic to the history of EastEnders and his character as he was the one who killed Reg Cox exactly 30 years ago. BUT (and its a big but), why does it have to be Dot who allegedly murders him? I really hope there is more to this storyline than we think. Last year EE was firing on almost all cylinders they can't suspend all disbelief for a ratings grabbing storyline - C'mon Dom and crew, don't let us and more to the point YOURSELF down. |

All I see is a 30 year storyline reaching it climax and coming full circle in a really rather fitting way. |

I doubt Dot will kill him unless he is Attacking Charlie or Ronnie and she has to kill him to save them. Otherwise Charlie or maybe Ronnie will do it and dot will take the blame for a while until the truth is revealed and she is released. |

I wrote my earlier post when I was drunk last night. Very proud that it's actually coherent. Guys, Dot is not the killer. She's accused of his murder but of course she didn't do it. It's Dot. |

I have a feeling Nick tries to kill or harm the baby as a way of getting back at Ronnie after she wakes up, but dear old Dorothy sees this and in a spilt moment whacks him over the head with her Victoria sponge. Thus he is dead. |

A shocking storyline, for one of the soap's most cherished characters. Dot a murderer of her own son...goes against everything Dot is about. It's so against the grain, which is why it is so shocking. They need to be very careful here, but oh my god it's going to be must see. |

Maybe Walford should be twinned with Midsomer. |

OK, I've re-read the article and I don't think Dot IS actually the killer, she'll just get accused of it. |

Yes, it's very fitting and quite clever. The article does say there will be twists and turns and it won't be as straight forward as just Dot taking her son out. But I do think Mrs Peel has a point, this would be Dot's biggest ever story and at this stage of her life, it could easily be a climax to Dot's time on the Square. |

Urgh. The plot is not "sensationalist" - it's effective, rounded and totally within the realms of possibility. When you actually open your mind a little, you can see that Dot is the ONLY person that could take Nick's life. As for Dot 'not being a killer', anybody can become a killer. Whether you're a god-fearing octogenarian or a geeky eight yesr old victim of bullying. The circumstances have not yet been revealed as to how Nick's death comes about. June Brown is not a child. She knows full well that John Altman - as a fellow performer - has freedom to do whatever he wants. She wouldn't kick off at him being okay with them killing Nick off. Seriously, some people really have a low opinion of June as a person. If June was not okay with this, she would have said and it would never had happened. End of. And let's not forget that Junehas already said that she is happy being there until her death. Edited by Ross, 11 Jan 2015, 17:59.

Anyone on the Square "could" take Nick's life and would be more realistic than Dot. DTC is, unfortunately, way too obsessed with irony to give us any kind of sense sometimes. However, I do agree that the subsequent articles are ambiguous in whether Dot actually killed Nick or is just accused of it. If she were simply accused, it would be slightly better but it still could go horribly wrong. |
![]() 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! | |

This article is from the Daily Star and they are pretty much the best for spoilers usually right. I read it and if anything it tells me it was her. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz-tv/hot-tv/419462/Eastenders-Dot-Cotton-will-murder-her-son-Nasty-Nick From the article "It will leave Dot’s faith in pieces as she is forced to come to terms with causing the death of her own son. She refuses to see a solicitor despite the locals rallying around her – and insists her fate is in “God’s hands”. " Now possibly she doesn't mean to kill him but it is said again later in the article. Another magazine also said Dot causes his death. So maybe it isn't murder but if she caused it which all the article say she does (unless someone has seen one that says different) then Dot is the person who did it. |

Your approval is neither desired nor required. Julia Smith "We decided to go for a realistic, fairly outspoken type of drama which could encompass stories about homosexuality, rape, unemployment, racial prejudice, etc., in a believable context. Above all, we wanted realism". | |

Sounds to me like she thinks she killed him but it will turn out to be someone else. I seriously doubt the production team are going to turn Dot into a murderer. Don't forget how much of a fan Dom is... he knows that would be a collosal mistake. I do agree that this storyline is being set up to be Dot's last 'big story'. Once it's over, I can see June Brown leaving and Dot dying either at the end of this year or next year. |

Yes but that was euthanasia. This sounds like it would be an accident. Still, I thought that June Brown would REFUSE to let them kill off John Altman. Unless she HERSELF is planning on leaving. |
