Eastenders: Who do you think kills Lucy Beale?
 

Theres a poll for Hollyoaks Fraser and Corries Tina... Lucy Beale deserves one :tongue:

I genuinely have no idea

Its a pretty long shortlist of suspects... if it ends up being somebody else I didnt include in the poll... :joker:

My top 5 suspects atm:

1. Lee Carter

The Carters are a new family to the square. I think theyre being built up to be the new 'Mitchells' and so need something massive to happen surrounding them. We know Lee is a little unstable atm and I reckon theres a chance were gonna be fooled into liking him and feeling sorry for any accusations going his way.


2. Cindy Williams

With Lucy Beale out the picture Cindy could well fill her 'space' in the Beale family... Ian/Peter/Jane could grow to love her like they loved Lucy until the shocking revealment. If it is Cindy I would guess it is an accidental murder or perhaps acting on impulse.

3. Charlie Cotton

Is he Dot's grandson? Probably not. Seems dodgy and a pretty good call for it. He could easily try to seduce Lucy, and failing that (because she is into Lee), he lashes out and murders her. Maybe hes done it before?

4. Whitney Dean

Whitney likes Lee.
Lucy likes Lee.
Lee probably likes Lucy more than Whitney.
Lucy's been a bitch to Whitney recently.

Impulse murder? Dunno. Shes not been involved in too much lately...

5. Nick Cotton

I dont think hes dead. And if Nick Cotton isnt dead... its every chance it could be him. It could be a double-wammy revealment: Lucy's murderer and Nick's alive.

i voted for whitney since it'd be pretty fun and unexpected

Voted Aleks cause he's so pointless.

Where is the option for Pat's ghost

I don't know but I hope they do it quick... she's a terrible actress.

sonia

Drug overdose..or something like that. Don't think it will be murder.

Actress who plays Abi thinks Ian

Could be Billy Mitchell.

He was really proud to have a career at Butcher's Joints estate agency. Janine may be a b*tch but she sort of liked Billy and gave him a decent post in her empire "director of operations". Not only did he lose his job, Lucy and Danny betrayed him by deciding to set up a new property venture without Billy , Danny left but when Billy divulged his contacts to Lucy she cut him out and teamed up with Lauren. Billy's been feeling worthless, wondering about providing for his kids. Lola seemed terrified of Billy learning about her shoplifting so Billy is probably getting a bit aggressive again like when he was with Jamie.

Dot Cotton.

A family member. Or someone like Nick Cotton.

They're going to make it someone like that due to it running up to the 30th anniversary. They'll have it connect back to the beginning.

Another whodunit murder, starting to become a trend.

Voted for Cindy just now, but will change my mind over the next few days I imagine

Think it'll be drugs related but someone walks away without helping her.

Interesting that we saw the "drugs" tonight even though Hetti Bywater's Lucy has never had substance abuse issues

I think that's the point. She's not really been onscreen a lot for several months so her death will uncover what she's been up to and covering up.

I've thought for a while it's Max but frames Jake for it, cause of the whole Lauren thing, but I could be totally wrong.

Cindy

My current top suspects

Aleks market inspector
Could be Aleks, he's enigmatic and briefly dealt with Lucy. Also remember after the market protest he roughly grabbed Ian when everyone else had left by the scruff of his neck and menancingly promised that he'd "pay" for scuppering his market closure plans. We know Aleks has a dark sinister side as he offered to help Ronnie kill the White clan

Denise
Denise not sure of motivation, but in terms of production Diane P really is strong actress who deserves a big plot and can pull it off. But if she did want shot of Lucy it could be as Lucy read the note from Poppy detailing Denises's affair with Fatboy which she could use to blackmail Denise into ditching Ian. The Oxford University trip to visit could be a red herring to distract from the fact she does meet Lucy later that day. She may have told Libby she wants to end the engagement but she may have been covering her tracks if investigated. Patrick has expressed concern about her mental well being and hinted that she is only with Ian for financial reasons, golddigging and not to be lonely, so it's not beyonde realms of craziness that she wants to kill Lucy. She doesn't love Ian, but doesn't want to be alon eking out a living in bnb and mini mart.

Peter
Then there's Peter, way way before he returned from Devon, remember the episode ages ago where Lucy and Lauren went on that girl's night out up West (travelled on tube, Lauren ditched Lucy to hook up with hot bloked, Lucy rescued her etc) Lucy told Lauren she had fallen out with Peter as he'd done something awful, maybe it's connected to the drugs and friend drowning. Peter didn't seemed shocked about the drugs when Ian asked. Peter's quite mysterious, resentful for Ian preferring Lucy despite him being the force behind the protest and there's hints he's a contol freak with Lola

Max for me.

there is no need to rush with this one - we have 1 year of suspension. pace yourself everyone.

The undertaker, Les Coker is my number 1 suspect. I am beginning to think that the market inspector maybe involved too

I think the DS theory that Charlie Cotton, Nick Cotton and the Undertaker being involved will come true.
