Bobby Beale

[storyseeker1]

"At no point has EastEnders ever implied that Bobby Beale received his place at boarding school through anything other than merit. His father, Ian, merely suggested that he would like to make a donation in the hope of speeding up the process."

I agree. That has got to be the biggest load of bulls**t I have ever heard!

Tonight's first episode made the BBC's claim that,"At no point has EastEnders ever implied that Bobby Beale received his place at boarding school through anything other than merit." even more preposterous. In fact a downright lie.

He was going in September anyway wasn't he, the going now was done by way of becoming a sponser.

How long before he's done something terrible as boarding school?

Rumour is rife among EE fans that Steve Beale will return to the square with Lauren and threaten to reveal that Bobby killed Lucy. The rumours started because Aaron Sidwell (who previously played Steven) has recently started following some of the EE team and actors on Twitter (and vice versa).

It does make sense because Peter and Lauren have been staying with him in New Zealand, and would probably have confessed the truth about Bobby and the cover-up to him. He'd have no loyalty to Bobby (to whom he's not related) or to Ian and Jane after his last disastrous appearance in Albert Square when - among other things - he stalked Ian, shot Jane (causing her to be unable to have children of her own) and eventually left after being completely rejected by Ian. I think he was also close to Lucy, so is likely to be furious that Bobby killed her. Steven is a total loose cannon and would undoubtedly cause untold trouble for Ian and Jane.

I'd love to see the character back so I'm hoping this speculation turns out to be true.

We can only hope, Dazzle!

Of course, the cast would then be severely depleted as Bobby, Ian, Jane, Kathy, Phil and Sharon, maybe Abi, could all be spending time at Her Majesty's pleasure! I'd also get European arrest warrants out for Cindy and Liam. Peter, if he comes back, should also be arrested. Lauren is the only one who could escape as she did tell the police. Police Sergeant whatever his name was (sorry, can't remember) could also be in trouble for not following up Lauren's "confession".

The courts are going to be very busy round Walford way.

You never know, you may get your wish because new EP Sean O'Connor could be planning a huge cast cull so that he can introduce a whole plethora of new characters.

THESE pics show baby-faced Bobby Beale may finally face justice for killing his big sister Lucy.



Eliot Carrington, who plays the troubled youngster, was spotted outside court alongside DI Samantha Keeble, who investigated Lucy’s murder.

Also there was the Mitchell family lawyer Ritchie Scott, inset.

Lucy’s ex- lover Max Branning is currently languishing in prison after wrongly being convicted of her murder.

But with Jake Wood, 43, set to return as Max this summer after a year-long break, it looks like he could soon be a free man if our exclusive pictures are anything to go by.
The Who Killed Lucy Beale? storyline was EastEnder’s biggest ever whodunnit.

Bobby was eventually revealed as the killer on the soap’s 30th anniversary.

Devoted step-mum Jane covered up the crime by dumping Lucy’s body on Walford Common.

Bosses have already teased that it will be a “big year for the Beales” with the return of Jane’s brother Christian, actor John Partridge, and her mum Linda, played by Lynda Baron.

Rumours are rife that the storyline will also see the dramatic return of Aaron Sidwell as Ian’s eldest son Steven.

He was last seen in Albert Square back in 2008.

An EastEnders insider said: “Bobby knows he killed Lucy but his parents shipped him off to boarding school in a bid to protect him. “

He may have killed her but his parents helped cover it up and watched as an innocent man went to prison.

“So they too could face charges.

BEN MITCHELL ENTERING 'THE COURT'

“And like most things in Albert Square, the truth will eventually come out and it’s going to have a huge impact on the Beale family.”

The Who Killed Lucy? storyline was the brainchild of the soap’s top boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins who bowed out in style on Friday following his “gut wrenching” decision to leave earlier this year.

The Archers boss Sean O’Connor has been lined up to take over.

Our source added: “Dom oversaw the soap’s momentous 30th anniversary which kicked off with Lucy’s murder.

“The storyline was always going to be revisited before Dom handed over the reigns to Sean, and the fans will not be disappointed.”
