Jacqueline is defiantly returning. But Lauren would be heavily pregnant now so can't fly back. |

Lauren can't travel while she is heavily pregnant. |

She may get told and then put her plan into action and decide she will come and help her dad as soon as she can after giving birth. I hope Lauren beats Abi up and disowns her. |

I would hope no violence is involved. But you can be pregnant and talk to the police. She is in New Zealand she can easily make a statement from there. Which they would do in something as serious a murder. But Cam is right they will give a stupid unbelievable story that somehow she didn't know and didn't care when she didn't hear from her dad in ages. I really hate it when EE really dumbs it down which is happening often of late. But maybe he get released in a couple of days? I could see Lauren disowning her sister but Max being her dad probably wont. Edited by Jade, 28 Jul 2015, 22:59.

Well maybe once Lauren is told may she plan what she will do and come back as soon as she can. |

Abi vs Lauren? There's only one way to find out. |

Max also walked away, at Tanya's behest, after Stax and the ridiculous burial scene took place, and didn't get in touch with his children for months on end. IIRC, he had changed his phone, and Abi had to steal Tanya's phone in order to text him to come home. I can easily see Max not contacting his daughter for months on end and easily see Lauren not contacting him. The Brannnings' modus operandi is selfishness. They do what they want for themselves. Since Lauren left Walford, Max has hit upon hard times and beaucoup self-pity. If he hasn't been in touch with Lauren, he's been lying to her that he's ok. That's nothing new either. Lauren, herself, has other concerns at the moment, being either heavily pregnant or having just given birth. Whatever Peter knows, he might be keeping from her in order to alleviate the stress factor. Abi is so deeply entrenched in Mitchell madness that she probably hasn't given Lauren a second thought, and if she has, she's too ashamed to confront her. Besides, whenever anyone leaves Walford, it's out of sight, out of mind. We won't hear Lauren's name mentioned until closer the time for the actress to return. I agree, it will probably be Peter's refusal to budge on the matter of shopping Bobby that will break them up, when Lauren does, eventually, find out about Max, but at this moment, I'd say it's probably not possible for her to travel that distance in order to sustain Max. Also, where's Lauren's proof that Bobby killed Lucy? Didn't she destroy Emma's notes? All she has is Peter's word, and he'd most likely retract what he said in view of family loyalty. This is going to be a game of Blink on the part of the Beales. When and if Lauren returns, it depends on which one of that lot she can get to confirm what she says is true. FWIW, I don't think Kathy would want to see this situation go unpunished. |

I'd much prefer Lauren to be the person who salvages Abi and helps her with her very clear issues. Beating her up really wouldn't help this situation at all. |

The only blood we saw that night was from Lucy's nose. She was struck full on in the face by the backhand of a man who wasn't small, but big and poweful, it drew blood, but no lasting contusion, swelling or bruising. By the time Lucy was writing a note to Ian, her nosebleed had stopped. Some head wounds bleed if they're open head wounds. There was no blood from Lucy's wound, no blood on the Beale carpet. She probably died from internal bleeding out onto the brain. Unless there was some sort of bodily fluid - in this case blood - left on the spot where she was killed, there is no proof. Lauren destroyed Emma's files, and the Beales would refute everything she said with no concrete proof. |

BIB Unless the fatal head wound produced intercranial bleeding. Pauline got dealt a fatal head wound and there was no external bleeding. |

Back to the car as I am not sure I buy your theory but on the car are you suggesting Jane had no (PHYSICAL) reason to clean it? I don't believe there was not even one speck of blood in the house or car. I don't think Jane cleaned just in the Lady McBeth fashion, I am sure there was something in that but not the only thing. I am sure you will argue that, I am no forensic expert like some but I find that incredibly hard to believe. Edited by Jade, 29 Jul 2015, 00:43.

If and when Lauren is interviewed by the police (via videoconference), I will be surprised if Peter then lies about what he knows. He will be putting his half brother who murdered his twin sister above his partner's father and child's grandfather knowing that the man is innocent. That doesn't fit with Peter's character to me. |

That is what I am thinking. When Jane came around, I thought that it was obvious that Bobby had left Lucy there for a bit because I don't think the fatal blow killed her outright. I think she had an intracranial bleed. Specifically a cerebral hemorrhage of the brain that slowly increased her ICP until her brain herniated. I wish the autopsy (if it was done? I don't remember) was more specific. |

What theory? There is such a thing as intercranial bleeding, and that's fatal, in and of itself. Yes, head wounds can bleed outwardly, and profusely, because the skull is covered by a thin and very veinous layer of skin. This is why when you bump your head and cut it, it often looks worse than it is because there's so much blood. However, many times there are head injuries that don't bleed outwardly, and these are the most fatal ones. When Lucy fell in Max's office, she cut her forehead on the sharp edge of a desk and broke skin. When Jake effectively punched her in the nose, he broke skin inside her nostril, and she bled. Bobby hit her with a blunt object (the box), which didn't break skin. By the time Lucy got hit, her nose wasn't even bleeding anymore. In fact, there was no sign of trauma to her face at all, and certainly Jake hit her hard enough to cause bruising and swelling. Jane would certainly have noticed bloodstains on the carpet by the sofa where Lucy died. When would Jane have cleaned that? She certainly wouldn't have had time to have moved Lucy's body to the car, come back inside, cleaned the carpet (no easy task), dumped the body and returned to Masood's house without having encountered any of the people living in Ian's house. In fact, I'm astounded that all of this took place with both Cindy and Denise upstairs and hearing nothing.
I beg your pardon. You misunderstand. I suggested nothing of the sort. What I said was that there was no blood in Jane's boot from Lucy's body. There could certainly have been stray hairs, dirt granules from her shoes and, considering what happens to the body in the first hour or so after death, traces of bodily fluid. Jane cleaned her boot afterward, and it probably wasn't enough to rid the car of minute DNA traces, but I'd wager these traces weren't blood.
Once again, no one said that. I said that her head wound didn't bleed externally. In all the shots we saw of Lucy's body post-mortem, there was no evidence of dried blood on her hair at all. Lucy had a nosebleed as a result of Jake accidentally punching her, but by the time Bobby killed her - even before, by the time she had that confrontation with Denise upstairs, the bleeding had stopped, and Lucy looked fine.
Jane wasn't even living in the Beale house at that time; she was living with Masood. She shouldn't even have been there and wouldn't have been, had Bobby not done what he did and called her. She obviously sent Bobby upstairs and her aim would have been to remove Lucy's body as quickly as possible, not hanging around. She certainly wouldn't have had time to clean any blood from the carpet - not an easy task, in and of itself. She wouldn't have wanted to risk faffing about the kitchen, risking waking Denise or Cindy, preparing to clean, or even running into a returning Ian. Most of the subsequent action taking place in the Beales' house has centred around the spot where Lucy's body fell. I would wager that forensics experts would have more of a chance in detecting samples of Ian's and Liam's sperm in that spot than any blood belonging to Lucy. Lucy's head injury simply did not bleed externally. To be fair, EastEnders are usually pretty accurate in their trauma make-up, and we saw no evidence of Lucy's head being stoved in and bleeding outwardly. |

Heather head wound didn't bleed either neither did Saskia's. And how many times do you read in the paper of someone dying instantly for hitting their head on the pavement. I bet they don't always bleed. Also unless they was loads of Lucy's blood it would not be proof of her death. As she had lived there for yars they blood could be quite accidental.

Saskia bled. Steve pushed Matthew to the floor and his hands landed in the blood, that's when the realisation hit him and he broke down. |

In that iconic scene of Steve hitting Saskia, she falls to the floor stone dead and instantly a puddle of blood forms. |
