Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth)

Lord Lucan was never found ...

True - but then his main crime was murder!
At the risk of sounding cynical -the law is
harsher on crimes of property (.money etc)than
crimes against the person(.murder rape sexual
&physical assault) The punishments for financial
crimes are harsher snd more rescources put into
solving them.
Id have to say that changed a bit recently due
to the avalanche of child sexual abuse cases
going back decades. That has changed the balance
at least for now.

Some people think Lord Lucan is still alive
or if not only recently deceased - S Africa
has been mentioned.
As a British "Lord" is/was a member of a very
self -protective club-who really look.after their
own.!!
Anyway hes definitely not in my garden shed!!!

Kathy Beale is back from the dead in the new trailer for EastEnders.

The formidable character - played by Gillian Taylforth - returns to Albert Square next Friday (August 11), ten years after faking her own death.

EastEnders Gillian Taylforth on Kathy return: 'I can't wait to get into The Vic and the cafe'

Kathy was at the centre of one of EastEnders' biggest ever surprises in February when she briefly reappeared in the show's 30th anniversary week, following her off-screen 'death' in 2006.

Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins recently explained his decision to bring Kathy back.

"When I came back, Alex [Lamb, story producer], Sharon [Batten, series producer] and myself always said we wanted Kathy back but we kept saying we would only do it if we had a credible story to bring her back," he said.

her return ad is awful hope the end storyline is better

The thing I am annoyed about is Sharon (Atleast we know she will) will decide Ian and Ben are better off without her and should remain dead. She can bugger off because it's Ian's and Ben's choice whether they want anything to do with Kathy when they find out. Just annoys me that Sharon can just decide for herself.

Well -if thats what Sharon decides?- from
the spoilers pics we saw - the decision
wont have much effect !!! at least not.for
long.

But its a general fault in soaps( and real
life).that well- meaning people keep info
from others on the grounds it will upset
or be bad for them!!

When no one really knows how some one
else feels inside-they can only guess.
With small children it can be for protection
- but not for adults.

In real life the truth will usually emerge -
but now there may be additional bitterness!

In soaps keeping info from.characters is
often a ploy to pad a story out a bit!!

Sharon of all people knows what it is like for a dead parent to show up, she should tell Ian after all he is her best friend or even like a brother to her
