Jake kills Lucy? He's the only one looking slightly pissed off and evil looking lol

Seems silly doing the photo without Stacey and Ronnie :(

He might come back?! They could have anything up their sleeves for this plot. I definitely think Jake's the blackmailer of Max and potentially strong favourite as Lucy's killer.

Mistaken identity has been rumoured in the soap mags, making a point of Lucy and Lauren having the same initials.

Looking through the cast list, these are the possibilities:

Cindy, Dean, Max, Abi, Lauren, Ronnie, Jake and Lee

But could also be Aleks, Tosh or Charlie — Tosh has a violent side, we don't know anything about Aleks and Charlie is very suspicious.

Stacey, Peter and Ian are amongst the suspects in the newspapers but I really don't think either of the latter two would and Stacey is in prison at the moment

They were also wearing the same clothes. I don't think Max's blackmailer and Lucy's killer are the same person.

Although, does anyone have any motive to kill Lauren except from Sadie?

Firewire
16-04-2014, 01:37 AM
The writers were on a three-day break and came up with loads of storylines for the next year (I believe). It made me think what sort of things we'll see.

I think Cindy will have a girl and will name it Lucy and will let Jane adopt it as she can't have kids and Cindy will be accepted by the Beales and Ian will begin to see her as a daughter.

What do you think we'll see in the next few months?

Good read here, interview with executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins on Lucy's murder and the future of the show:

What can we expect from next week's episodes?
"Over the next few days, you're going to see the Beales really shine. Adam Woodyatt, Laurie Brett, Ben Hardy, Di Parish and Jac Jossa are giving some of the most amazing performances you've ever seen. I think Adam gives the performance of a lifetime.

"This is a very, very personal story to everybody at EastEnders. We've had cameramen who've been there for 25 years sobbing behind the cameras as we've been recording. Everyone has brought their own little bit of grief to the show as we're working through it.

"Thursday's episode next week will also be a special episode, as it's just set in the Beale house. We only go outside right at the end of the episode, so the tension builds."

How will this be different to other soap whodunits that we've seen?
"This comes from the heart. As you'll see in the episodes, it's all based on truth, reality and grief. When we first talked about the storyline, we spoke about Lucy dying and her body being found on Walford Common. We decided that the story would be about grief at first, but then slowly get closer and closer, until the focus goes onto the Square and the Beales suddenly realising that actually the killer is amongst them.

"There's going to be a lot of twists and turns in the storyline. We're going to use this storyline to find out a lot about every single character on the Square. We're also going to find out a lot more about Lucy after she's died.

"The story is going to run and run, but I think sometimes soap whodunits can be too intelligent and not come from the heart. The identity of the killer is known by myself and three other people on the team. When it's revealed, we don't want people to say, 'Oh that was clever, I never guessed that'. We want people to say, 'Oh, that makes sense, that's upsetting and it's very clever'. The story is very much based on truth."

What impact will the grief of the Beale family have?
"Grief changes people and it changes relationships. For example, it's going to change Ian and Phil's relationship. They're the biggest enemies in the world, but in scenes coming up, Phil Mitchell hugs a crying Ian Beale and starts to cry himself."

How long have you been planning the story for?
"When I came back to EastEnders, the first three ideas I mentioned were the introduction of the Carters, Carol's cancer and Lucy's death. [Story producer] Alex Lamb, [script producer] Manpreet Dosanjh, [senior producer] Sharon Batten and the team of writers and directors all jumped on it.

"It's been fun to plot a murder properly on a big scale, and also to go back to the first family in the Square. Ian Beale and Adam Woodyatt are so wonderful. To have something affecting Ian so massively in the lead-up to the 30th anniversary next year was part of the thinking as well, and hopefully it's paying off."

Usually we see soap characters' lives for ourselves. Is it a gamble to keep back so many secrets about Lucy until after her death?
"That's the fun - the fun is seeing the secrets revealed. Viewers are so much more sophisticated now and it would have been a little bit naff to see everyone suddenly acting suspiciously, or Lucy suddenly upsetting everybody on the Square for no reason. A death like this is a shock to a family, and that's what we want it to feel like for the audience as well.

"We've spent a lot of time plotting it cleverly and we know where we're going with it. We're not making it up as we go along, and that's important. There are lots of clever people working on the show."

You also have a lot of experience with murder stories…
"Yes, my first job was coming up with ways for people to die on Midsomer Murders! I've always loved a good old murder mystery. When I was little, I also read every Agatha Christie book and wrote my own little murder mysteries. In the end, my English teacher made me stand up in front of my English class and said, 'You're never going to amount to anything because all you read is Agatha Christie!'

"In our case, it's a way of exploring every character. For our writers and story team, it's an opportunity to twist and play with your audience. We've seen great murder mysteries with Broadchurch and The Killing, but with a soap, you get to do it better because we're on all the time and we've got a longer time to tell the story."

What role will the police play?
"We don't want the police to come across as incompetent soap police. If the police were really good, we'd have no story to tell and there'd be nothing to watch, but as time goes on, some of the police are changed and some people are taken off the case.

"We also try to characterise each police officer, so they're not just generic fact-givers. They're all characters in their own right and they've got loads of stories running through as well."

How long will the story run for?
"It's going to run into next year and into the 30th anniversary, but there are some very, very big curveballs which will be thrown at the audience between now and then. In the run-up towards Christmas time, there's going to be a big twist that will make everyone gasp. That's all I'm going to say!"

Is it true that there's been censored scripts to protect the secrecy?
"Yes, the show is about secrets and twists. I want to surprise the audience. Later in the year, we're going to have a clever bit of trickery - gimmickry maybe! 'Gimmickry' is probably putting it down, but we're going to do something to make sure that the audience and the press don't have a clue who it is."

Overnight ratings for the soaps are currently in decline. Would you say they're struggling?
"I don't think everyone's struggling - I think everyone's watching television in a different way. A lot of our EastEnders viewers watch the show online on iPlayer, so that doesn't worry me. I hope that this story will bring back some old viewers and bring in some new ones."

Is it frustrating to have murders coming up in Coronation Street and Hollyoaks at similar times, or do you feel that yours is different?
"I think we're doing it forensically and we're exploring the minutiae. We're also doing grief first - it's not just a silly death. That's not to say that the other deaths are pointless, but in our case it's about death in the family because EastEnders is about families.

"I'm sure the other soap stories are going to be fantastic as well, but with Coronation Street's Tina, I know that she doesn't really have any family on the Street so it's quite an isolated murder, whereas Lucy's is about the death of someone's daughter and someone's sister.

"We always try to make everything about family and about relationships, and then slowly it turns into a mystery - but it's not a heightened mystery. It's very real and we keep checking ourselves all the way along to make sure that it's not melodramatic and to find the truth in each moment."

Will Lucy's fall in Max's office be mentioned again?
"Yes - we need stuff to happen now, so obviously we want the police to go, 'Ah! There's a bit of blood in the portakabin'. We as an audience know it was an accident, but that's a little red herring and a clue there."

As we saw with Archie's murder, will this story lead to the killer being revealed in a live episode and the actor only told moments before?
"No! It's been done. We don't do cover versions of greatest hits. We want new songs. Keeping it a secret is going to be difficult, but as I mentioned earlier, we have a plan. Really good storytelling is our trick, to be honest. When I said earlier that we have a trick planned, that's it - really good storytelling."

Definitely bitter. So many deaths in a short space of time is par for the course in soaps.

He might as well whinge about the number of lies characters tell, or the number of affairs. It's not going to get real as soaps aren't.

Their secret's out. Max confronts Lucy about a picture someone has taken of them. But the question is... by who?

http://static.bbc.co.uk/programmeimages/576xn/images/p01xkvdc.jpg

Here's what Hetti had to say about the scene..."As soon as Max tells her she is shocked - and there's 101 things going round in her head. Who is going to find out? What is going to happen? But there are so many things going on in her head at this point that even though that's such a big shock and is such a big worry, it gets side-tracked because it's one thing on top of the other. Things are constantly happening."


-------

My Theory -

she gets really stressed out so she goes to the common to one of the flats she hasn't sold, she is followed by someone/a couple of people she takes some coke, she argues with someone takes more coke and OD's

Anyone else thinking producers are throwing us off the ball by showing that advert with the tagline there's a killer amongst them when Ronnie & Stacey already live on the square :suspect:

This episode was Hetti's best acting on Eastenders, it's a shame she's dead because Lucy was an amazing character. She could of had an interesting future on the show.

Personally i think she overdoses and nobody killed her. I think more secrets and twists will come up about Devon, Peter & Cindy know more about Lucy than anyone else and we will slowly get to know more and more devious things she's done in the past. If it was murder i think it's either Whitney, Peter or Cindy. As for the episode, it was fantastic. Some of the best scene the show have had for years. :worship:

Yeah I thought OD at first. but they wouldn't be able to drag that out so long.
Toxicology would show that pretty quickly.
I think Peter in a moment of madness.

Hope they've filmed the murder and we get a 'flashback' style reveal but doubt that will happen.

Great post Loukas. I agree with your overdose theory but I also think someone was with her, there was an argument and they walked away and just left her for dead, making them just as guilty as if they'd killed her. That could be anyone but I'm feeling Peter/Whitney maybe.

I take it Cindy, Lee and Ian have been ruled out now that we heard their voice messages. Surely they wouldn't have killed her and then been like "when will you be home?" Unless they're trying to cover their backs, I guess.

Covering tracks. It will look weird to police if they don't express concern if secretly the murderer especially as Ian was worried about Lucy when she was sh@gging Lee. Denise, too still don't know how significant Lucy reading Poppy's letter is.

New cast member for the rest of the year..

http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article3425137.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/DC-Summerhayes-2-3425137.jpg

An actress formerly dubbed a ‘yummy mummy’ on parenting site Mumsnet has landed a new role solving the biggest ever murder investigation on EastEnders.

Anna Acton will be on screen for the rest of the year in the soap playing DC Emma Summerhayes who is tasked with gathering evidence to catch the killer of Lucy Beale.

After Lucy is murdered in Friday night's episode she will be seen by Ian Beale’s side when he identifies Lucy’s body.

She also is one of the officers who comfort Ian while their forensic team search Lucy’s room for evidence.

A show source said: “Anna has a huge role to play in one of the biggest soap storylines for years.

“She is the one who hopes to be able to pinpoint the killer and to begin with there are plenty of suspects.”

I think by "What killed Lucy Beale?" it'll turn out to be her own selfishness rather than something else. I definitely think it was a person on the square, they wouldn't promote it like this if it wasn't. But who the killer is exactly remains unknown — I genuinely do not know who killed her, but can't wait to see the developments.

Lucy said she took the drugs to cope with her dad, but she could have been saying that just to hurt him. I mean, we've never seen her with drugs before. I think the drugs came from Danny.

My speakers are not working! So I can't here them on on-line!

Well I'm not transcribing them. :laugh:

It's just a bunch of characters giving alibis with some music.
Bianca "I was at home watching the kids, they can be murder on their own" emphasis on murder.
Dot - "The Mitchell sisters were having a party, made my blood boil" emphasis on blood.

Followed by "There's a killer amongst them". :laugh:

:laugh: No, it's not motives. It's just everyday phrases made sinister using specific words.

I think that Shabnam could be a possibility, she looks like she can be capable of murder and it would make a little bit of sense, like, the extremes she would go through to pull her father away from Jane because she knows that Lucy's death will bring Ian and Jane closer together. just a theory. if this is actually true then she's a ******ing bitch and i'll poison her curry

I don't know, but it wouldn't be explosive related as 1) there would have been noise and 2) Lucy's body was all in one piece :laugh:

I think that Shabnam drugged her or something, or strangled her with her scarf

Will there be a departure on the square?

EastEnders' Denise Fox will consider leaving Albert Square in the aftermath of Lucy Beale's death.

Earlier this week, viewers saw Denise (Diane Parish) reach the difficult decision to end things with her fiancé Ian Beale, realising that their relationship isn't working.

When news comes through that Lucy has been found dead next week, Denise is forced to delay her departure as she can't bear to add to Ian's grief by revealing her intentions.

After a few days, however, Denise is ready to leave Walford and join her daughter Libby in Oxford, so she packs a suitcase and takes off her engagement ring.

When Patrick Trueman returns home unexpectedly, Denise confesses her plan to him. She expects Patrick to talk her out of leaving Ian, but she is surprised when he books her a taxi instead. Will Denise really leave Albert Square?

re Shabnam being racist, her hatred towards Carol/when she criticised Masood for bringing a "white woman to their home" was just more about her being non-Muslim. I don't think she's racist

the amount of people who kept saying there would be an uproar if it was the other way around :bored: clearly they didn't watch Hollyoaks a few years ago with the treatment of Anita, the p word was mentioned loads of times. even skin bleaching was involved

Shabnam could be much better if she wasn't written one dimensionally and they added more of the Zainab-esque comedy to the character instead of just making her a miserable bitch.

I think it will definitely be someone you'd least expect like Jane, Denise or Sharon. Someone who was close to the family and caused it indirectly or by accident.

Then a second person got themselves involved somehow and left her body in the woods.

Im wondering with Lucy's "I want to be a good person" frame of mind at the time, maybe she

A. Met up with somebody who is addicted to drugs (if she deals) and because she refused, they murdered her to get them.

or

B. Met up with her dealer and threatened to expose them.

Just thinking this because EE wants to shock and I was looking at the odds to see who looks good and Masood could fill either role. Hes had a bit of a meltdown recently. At 40/1 might put a few quid and see how it goes in the next 10 months :tongue:

EastEnders star: 'We're going to see a darker side to Masood'
Published Nov 2 2013, 15:09 GMT | By Sam Rigby

EastEnders star Nitin Ganatra has revealed that viewers will see a 'darker side' to Masood in the coming months.

The actor admitted that an upcoming storyline will "test" the love that many viewers have for his character.

Nitin Ganatra as Masood Ahmed in 'EastEnders'



Ganatra told the BBC Asian Network that he is much busier following the appointment of Dominic Treadwell-Collins as producer.

"It's picking up. We've got the new boss at EastEnders and he's injected a whole new enthusiasm into the place. He created Masood. He was originally there as a head story liner and now he's come back as the boss. Obviously, he loves that character.

"It's the stories, there's no point being there for a few years and being unhappy and bored. As long as you're given good, interesting stories and you're challenged as an actor then it's a good place to be. If you're not then it's not a good place to be."

Asked if actors often pitched ideas for their characters to the show's producers, he said: "Not usually, no, but I think they are now much more open to actors saying 'what about this, what about that?'.

"In fact, I did pitch a storyline not long ago which our new producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins is going with and we're going to see a whole new side to Masood.

Nitin Ganatra as Masood Ahmed



"The thing about Masood is people love him so much, across the board in all cultures everyone's mum loves Masood. They all want to take care of him. Going ahead with an idea I proposed, we're going to test that love.

"We're going to see if Masood can get much, much darker and much more controversial. We want a bit of controversy every now and again. It's too safe at the moment so we will go down that road now."

The actor also suggested that Masood's daughter Shabnam (Zahra Ahmadi) should make a comeback to Albert Square.

"What if Shabnam came back? That would be good. We need another woman to come into the Masood household. We haven't seen her for a long time so you never know," he said.

EastEnders continues on Monday (November 4) at 8pm on BBC One.

I'm starting to think the source of the drugs will be Ronnie/Aleks.
