i agree - you get new fish that are in shortly and when they dispare they expect a exit like pauline or dirty den or someone big.

Just re-watching New Years episode.

The scene when Emma meets up with killer cuts to show an empty Branning house. Does this imply that a Branning may have killed Lucy?

Or just coincidental?

I hate that Nick convinced Yvonne to help frame Phil.

At this stage I think that it's a mixture of both. It either did that as a red herring or because it was one of them.

I was confused by this as well, I was expecting to see an empty Beale house, too. It may just be to play with your mind.

Suspicion is rife. :joker:

I'm starting to believe that it was Max who killed her. The confusion of whether his name was cleared or not is a red-herring in my opinion.

It's between Jane and Max for me, but I'm still sticking with Lauren too because I said her name when it first happened. :laugh:

I don't think Lauren was the killer surely she would of been more relieved when Emma died and she kept asking questions as to why Emma was acting so strange. I don't think she would want to draw attention to Emma stringent behaviour because if she was the killer she would already know why and she wouldn't want people finding out why.

But then again this is soap logic they probably haven't made up their mind on who the killer is.

she sounded genuinely concerned whereas Abi couldn't care less

I think it was either Jane, Denise, Abi or Max!

The writing for this story really has been amazing - let's be honest, we don't have a clue who it could be yet.

Eastenders getting Over 8 million :clap1:

I think they're deciding this month.

Aparantly it's between two people, but their 'first choice didn't come from the heart'.

Lol what do they mean by it 'didn't come from the heart'? :suspect:

They already know who killed Lucy, the will tell the actor this month. Originally it was supposed to be someone else but it didn't make sense so they changed it.

I don't know, Armand :joker:

Yeah, I think Jonathan is right actually. I misread the 'Who Killed Lucy Beale' Wikipedia page.

Looks like Stan will be sticking around for a few months

Good, the longer the better, I've already lost Emma this year, I want to cherish him for as long as possible :sad:

what characters have an iphone cause it can't be them, looking back at when Emma sent the text message it was a Nokia message tone..

I wouldn't trust that, they probably used a generic text tone. Although Max has an iPhone, I think.

I think they use the same text tone no matter what phone it is.

I hope they announce who was going to be the killer before they changed it too.

Flashback episode to air during anniversary week. It's likely to be the episode following the live one. The flashback episode will be set the night Lucy died. Tanya Franks and Jamie Lomas will return as Rainie Cross and Jake Stone, respectively.

Hetti Bywater will return as Lucy, obviously.
