View Full Version : Who killed Archie poll!
Only around a month before we know who killed him but would be interesting to know who people think killed him.
I have put the main suspects and added "other" option for those who think it was anyone other than the main ones
my money is on Bradley too but known EE and for what was hinted at on this morning show, it might be a complete outsider and the Sean Slater rumor could be true... I hope not.

I've voted Bradley, but I keep changing my mind.

it can't be peggy, archie was a foot taller than her - she would have had to go get a box to stand on!
They used a stunt man to film it, and in a soap, size does not matter lol
I dont want it to be Bradley
I hope itsSean or maybe Jean even
I dont want it to be Bradley
I hope itsSean or maybe Jean even
The reason I want it to be Bradley is that I know he is leaving and Stacey is not and I would like them to leave together.. especially as they have only gotten back together and they are due to get married.. I would hate for Bradley to leave her again for a stupid reason (like last time).. at least if he is the killer and goes to prison, it would be a nicer end to Bradley and Stacey then him leaving her to go back to Syd..

Now bearing in mind I was away for three weeks at Christmas I think it was...

Well, I keep reading that he is supposed to kill again
I'm going for Janine. She has no conscience and wouldn't think twice about killing someone.

Cool, thanks. Hopefully I'll post what I put originally very soon! :)
I think Ben. Archie was bent down picking up the snow globe and the queen vic bust was pushed onto him, so him being taller than Ben wouldn't matter. It's not really realistic but then neither is Darren being George's Dad!! lol

If Lauren can drive a car like an expert to mow her dad down without any explanation I don't think Eastenders will have any problem not explaining this either.
hehehe.. we might all be wrong with Bradley as read spoiler he kills himself just been a suspect in Archie's death...

hang on here thought bradley commites suicide
That was refuted within minutes of the claim, he is not going to commit suicide

That was refuted within minutes of the claim, he is not going to commit suicidereally! i didnt know that, pitty though it would of been differant
I think is Bradley, it just fits. The actor playing him is leaving.
I know Peggy is leaving also. But I think that is because won't be able stand Roxy owning the Vic.
I have pondered about numerous people, Grant (shock return, unlikely), Ryan (as he seemed jealous of Janine and Archie), Ronnie (hated him), Jack (revenge 4 Ronnie sort of thing) and even Jay (could be jealous of Billy re-uniting with his children) however my 1st thought was Bradley and if I'm wrong then so be it, I'm sticking with him

In the Radio Times today, Diderick Santer says that the live episode seemed a good idea at the time, "Now, however, it's a logistical nightmare. Eastenders has shot eight weeks of episodes following the events of the live one in a way that doesn't reveal to the actors and producers who killed Archie."
I suspect Becca. Stacey had told Becca what Archie did to her and Becca was so freaked out the first time she went into The Vic that she ran back to the psychiatric unit.
Who cares. Its just a pty most of those named as suspects didnt go as well
Although I voted Bradley above, it's looking too obvious to be him now. Also, we now know that although the murderer will be revealed on Feb 19th, most of Albert Square won't find out at that time. So my initial reasoning that it must be someone who's leaving doesn't necessarily apply any more. It looks like the murderer will get away with it (at least for the time being).
If you don't care, why are you reading the 'Who Killed Achie?'
Yeah, much and all as I like Becca for it, I'm attracted to the Sean theory, too. Just 10 days to go!

well the police set up a voluntary DNA testing and bradley offers his DNA so then jack offers that male copper(hughes i think) £5000 to lose the DNA results and then they tell bradley to do a runner before he gets arrested its all in whats on tv its going to be good

The live show is definitely going to be a big TV event, though maybe not big enough to take time off work for. I, for one, am really excited about it. Of course, the trouble with building it up so much is that it may feel like a let-down.

Ah now Alan.. it is much more than a TV programme
Of course, it is more than a tv programme when a storyline comes to a conclusion. I hope that I will be able to watch it without interruptions and I am glad that I am not working nights
CrazyLea
09-02-2010, 15:33
I can't see it being Bradley myself. For the main reason the revelation is supposed to be on the live episode. And all Bradley did was hit Archie.. not hit him with the bust :s I don't get why Bradley hasn't worked out he didn't hit him with the bust! :S
At the end of the day its still a tv programme. True it will bring to an end the story of who killed Archie although knowing Deadenders it will open another can of worms. Its not as if its a life changing event and certainly not worth taking time off work for. It will be repeated later on BBC 3 and on Sunday. It will be available on the Iplayer and be the talk over on the Deadenders fan club boards as well. Im sure it will be on the BBC News at 10.
So dont worry EE fanatics if you miss it as the world will still go on after the duff duffs.
Nothing in the real world will have changed.
You are of course right, Alan, the world will not end if somebody misses this episode, but if you follow a show, you would like " to be " at the event and not see it when everybody is already talking about it :D
I suspect Becca. Stacey had told Becca what Archie did to her and Becca was so freaked out the first time she went into The Vic that she ran back to the psychiatric unit.
If Becca is the killer it will be a terrible let down - i dont think its her since she was only released from the hospital after christmas
Bradley is going to have a breakdown or give himself a heart attack he is acting so guilty but i think he knows he didnt do but the fact he was there and fought with Archie he is afraid he will be blamed

Well you can always make sure that the person you are caring for at 8pm is watching EE and you can sit with them for company!!
Has DS narrowed down the suspect list to so many?
I think he does die....
Friend of a friend went to the EE set and saw his funeral being filmed...They also saw Roxys name above the pub - so I think they are right about Bradley...

Im sticking with Peggy, its who I thought from the beginning so im staying with that lol
Nobody mentioned Roxy... We all suspect Janine cause Archie said he changed his will but he didn't.. so how do we know that roxy didn't see the will and think this is her way out.. she is least likely cause she is a daddy's girl but what a perfect way to get millions, a pub and security for her daughter and not be suspected???
I guess most people think about characters that are leaving the show, to explain their absence with a jail sentence or so. Unless the murderer is going to live among the other residents for a long time yet :hmm: We will know who killed Archie but the others in the storyline won't, maybe the killer will not get found out for quite a while
It's looking like it can't be Bradley if he's gonna die, because there would be no point in the other Albert Square residents and the police not finding out the identity of the killer for a while.
It sounds like the storyline and police investigation will continue after the viewers find out who killed Archie.

Perhaps it was DCI Marsden. She hates the Mitchells.
:rotfl: She probably would have quite liked Archie for causing so much trouble for the rest of the Mitchells.

I am telling you.. everyone will be shocked if it is Roxy... the one you least suspect :lol:
If it is Roxie, she is putting up a very good front, whereas the other suspects are all going to pot :hmm:
I think it will be silly if Roxy turns out to be the murderer, given that she's the only person who cared for Archie. Saying that, sillier things have happened on EE for the sake of shocking the audience - Darren being the father of Heather's child, Lauren mowing down Max to name a couple of them.

I kinda agreed for a while. But now I'm not sure. Urgh, I think I have actually thoght it was everyone at some point (all the suspects).

Yeah I suppose :hmm:. It would have to be really believable as well mind. Not some random killing.
What kind of good reasons do you think would be good.. if it was someone not in the suspect list.. ?
Well Roxy.. she read the will and felt it was a way out plus she was mad at Archie for all the thing he did to his family.. playing the grieving daughter is just part of the plan.
Lucy Beale - thought if she killed Archie the pub would go back to Ian
Billy Mitchel - was sure Archie changed his will to favor Janine and he gets to keep the house for himself and the kids
I am just really stretching here and trying to think EE way.. seriously as was said before Darren the dad and lauren the stunt driver...

12-02-2010, 05:39
I`m guessing it`s Ryan - Whitneys brother.
Just because EE hasn`t announced he`s leaving doesn`t mean that his contract is up. The writers did the same thing with Lexie Nichols/King in Emmerdale too where it was kept a secret til the day she left.
I`ve had my suspicions since Christmas Day. When Ryan first told Janine Butcher about Archies murder, he kept asking her if she had an alibi.My theory is that he was in love with Janine and was so furious that Janine and Archie were engaged that he probably went to the Vic to confront Archie and then Archies makes a nasty comment about Ryan and Janine, Ryan loses his temper and smashes the Queen Vic bust over Archie`s head.
Ryan isn`t that strong a character, nor is he an established one.I don`t know when his contract is up, so it`s purely guess work on my part.
Bradley is too obvious - so is Roxie, Ronnie and Peggy.

Got this for DS:-
'The end has come for Bradley Branning.
He will fall to his death from a rooftop in Albert Square after a dramatic Police chase.
He becomes prime suspect in the murder of Archie Mitchell.
The entire Live episode revolves around Max and Jack trying to smuggle Bradley out of the Square. But the police catch up with him and he makes a run for it.
Cornered on a roof top Jack tries to talk Bradley down from the roof and tells him he knows who killed Archie. Jack promises he wont take the rap but Stacey shouts for Bradley and he loses his balance. He dies on the pavement surrounded by the residents.
The episode will end with Jack confronting the 'real' killer and promising them that he will ensure Bradley takes the blame'
Sounds plausible for Bradley's ext but still no where nearer the killer??

Makes me think it is ronnie.. he said he won't let her take the rap last night
I agree, it must be Ronnie from the above. Surely Jack wouldn't let Bradley take the rap for anyone else (I'm surprised he'd let his own nephew take the blame for anyone, to be honest).
Actually, thinking about it, it's plausible that it could be Roxy too. Jack wouldn't want the mother of his child to go to prison.
Poor Bradley :(

Oh my gosh. Can't believe Jack would do that!!! Poor Bradley.
Well it has to be Ronnie then :s, who else would Jack cover for?
The only other person Jack might cover for (apart from Ronnie) is Roxy - given that she's the mother of his child.
CrazyLea
12-02-2010, 15:07
Oh yeah that's true!
I want it to be Roxy. Would be "shocking" HA. Well even though some of us are thinking it already lol.
They're the only people I can think of that Jack would cover for. Unless he is being bribed for some unknown reason.
parkerman
12-02-2010, 15:08
Perhaps he was talking to a mirror and he is covering for himself.
The only person Jack would cover up for would be:
Him, Roxy, Ronnie or Sam or a member of his family - maybe it is Stacey!!
I will be watching the episode because I want to see how they reveal the killer, but I must be the only one on here who does not care who it is :hmm: Might be because anybody I guess to be the killer will be wrong anyway :lol:

Same here Perdy.. I never guess who it is :lol:
No, I don't care who it is either as long as it's not something stupid like Lauren and her car driving antics.
That is what I am bit concerned about, tbh, that all this build-up will lead to a very big disappointment or will be a bit unbelievable like Darren being the father of Hev's baby.
That's what I'm worried about too. If the murderer turns out to be Roxy, then there damned well better be a good explanation for why she killed her beloved father.
Hopefully, the producers will have learned their lesson after the viewers' reaction to the Darren/Heather storyline, and won't use shock tactics at the expense of characterisation.
Mind you, this is EE we're talking about :hmm:

EASTENDERS stars have begged their bosses not to make them Archie Mitchell’s killer – because it could mean the end of their job on the soap.
The killer’s identity will be revealed in a live show on Friday night to mark the soap’s 25th anniversary.
So far, none of the cast knows whodunnit.
But those in the frame for the killing are praying it’s not them.
They fear their character will be sent to prison – and they will effectively be out of a job.
Charlie Brooks, 28, who plays one of the suspects, Janine Butcher, said: “I wish I knew who has killed Archie.
“I would like to know whether I have a job next year.”

I've just seen Larry Lamb being interviewed on BBC 1 News. He said his money is on Ronnie!
I just can't be bothered to try to guess anymore, I will wait until Thursday and see who it was. I keep changing my mind all the time and more than likely will get it wrong anyway, lol :p
EastEnders' executive producer Diederick Santer has promised that viewers can expect a "satisfying" conclusion to the soap's 'Who Killed Archie?' mystery.
Walford's secret killer will finally be revealed to viewers and cast members alike during the show's live 25th anniversary episode this Friday.
The much-anticipated reveal will follow weeks of secrecy and suspicion which began when Archie, played by Larry Lamb, was murdered in the Queen Vic on Christmas Day.
Discussing the whodunit storyline, Santer told the drama's official website: "I've said before that the outcome is surprising and yet, like all good surprises, will be in retrospect inevitable. I think it's a good outcome, I think it makes sense - I know it makes sense.
"I don't think it will be one of those ones where the audience go, 'Huh?' I think it will be satisfying, most importantly. I hope so - it's for the audience to tell me."
Meanwhile, offering advice on how viewers can crack the case themselves, Santer revealed: "What I can tell you is that there are three big clues - one in the Christmas Day episode, one more recently than Christmas and there's another one that, if I were to tell you where it was, would perhaps give it away too easily.
"There have been numerous red herrings as well, so me saying that there are clues may or may not be helpful!"

Former EastEnders star Larry Lamb has predicted that the killer of his character Archie Mitchell was a woman.
Mystery has surrounded the identity of Archie's murderer since the Walford villain was bumped off in the Queen Vic on Christmas Day.
However, on Friday, viewers will finally discover who was responsible in the BBC soap's live 25th anniversary episode.
Asked who he most suspects in an interview with BBC Breakfast, Lamb commented: "I sort of reckon on a female. I don't think it will be Peggy. Peggy's out soon but you can't touch Peggy.
"I'd put money on a female but I have to say, I've got no idea which. Janine's got form, but I don't know."
Meanwhile, the actor also branded the idea for the live instalment as "extraordinary", adding: "[There'll be] a lot of very nervous actors. I'm getting nervous just thinking about it for them!"
[B]Stacey or Roxy maybe

As I said above he said he thought it was Ronnie this morning.
Bookmaker William Hill has slashed its odds on Tracey The Barmaid being revealed as Archie Mitchell's killer in EastEnders.
The long-standing Queen Vic employee was previously one of the biggest outsiders in the betting with odds of 100/1, but she can now be backed at 7/1 following strong support from punters.
Jane Slaughter, who plays the background character, recently spoke to DS about the possibility of Tracey being Archie's killer.
Speaking at the time, Slaughter commented: "I wouldn't think she's that dark but who knows - she could be. I've heard there are odds at the bookies to be had for her but why? Why would she have killed him? Because he's threatening The Vic? Is it The Vic she protects or the family?"
Meanwhile, Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) remains the favourite to be unveiled as the murderer in Friday's live 25th anniversary episode. Despite the character's absence from the programme, he currently has odds of 7/4.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams commented: "Tracey would be a serious shock to all, but we are hoping that Sean is proved to be a saint not a sinner, as if he is the killer we will be paying out a small fortune."
I can't believe it's Tracey or Sean. The spoiler above told us that it would be someone Jack would cover for, even at Bradley's expense. If that's true, I think the murderer must be Ronnie or Roxy.
However, if the thing with Jack doesn't turn out to be true, my money's on Peggy at the moment. I'm absolutely sure it's not Bradley now, even though I voted for him.

Bradley and Ronnie and Janine all seem to obvious
I think its Roxy or Jack himself
Why would Jack cover for Peggy or Sam ??????

He was involved with sam at one stage... maybe that is why.. The Jack spoiler might be fake.. it might be him

I think there's a possibility that DCI Marsden could have killed Archie. It would be a brilliant twist to the story, a real surprise to the viewers but it would also make perfect sense.
EastEnders is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week - a big part of the show for the past 25 years has surrounded the Mitchells, how corrupt they've been and their dodgy dealings with 'the old bill'. This week, all of this could be brought together if it's revealed to us that Marsden killed Archie in a desperate attempt to nail one of the Mitchells for his murder and bring down the whole Mitchell family once and for all.
It's been mentioned in passing that she's dealt with the Mitchells before and since the murder has happened, she has been presented as almost obsessed with catching out one of the Mitchells to pin the murder on. When Ian was brought in for questioning, she would have been delighted if she could have pinned the murder on him, as his arrest would have hurt Ben Mitchell who Phil and Peggy really care for.
With the weeks leading up to the murder, she would have observed that Archie was becoming disliked with all members of the community, especially the Mitchell family. Her obsession with the Mitchells would have meant she was watching and observing them at all times. She came up with the plan to kill Archie so she could destroy the Mitchell family by framing one of them, and also upsetting Peggy and Roxy as she knew how much they loved him despite everything he did.
Not only this but she seems really obsessive and passionate over her police work. Not only could she destroy the Mitchell family by killing off Archie but she could also provide herself with a big murder investigation to get her teeth into.
She seems devious to me, as if she has a hidden dark side that could snap.
On Friday, I think Bradley will be firmly in the frame but Marsden panics as her plan to bring down the Mitchells has gone wrong. She doesn't want Bradley to go down for it, so she asks him to help her frame one of the Mitchell family. Bradley is confused and she confesses to him that she killed Archie. In a panic, Bradley rushes towards the Vic to tell the Mitchells what he has heard when he is knocked over by a car just outside (recreating the tragic death of Tiffany Mitchell in 1998). Once Bradley has died, everyone assumes he murdered Archie and Marsden is left roaming free for now.
What do people think?

Every one seems to have forgotten Max and Jack's sister, Archie really gave her some grief, it could be her if it is a woman ???Just a thought :-)

Suzy... yeah we did forget about her but I doubt it.. he paid her off and she wouldn't come back to kill him.. the Sean slater return is bad enough

Well, I guess we probably know now it is not Bradley because as far as we know the murder will be pinned on him but he didn't actually do it. Jack apparently knows who the murderer is and tells them that he will make sure they get away with it and that the murder is pinned on Bradley. Why would he cover for anyone other than Ronnie or Roxy? Maybe he would do it to have a hold over them. If it was, say, Phil, think of the power this would Jack give over him.
Great theory DaveyWavey. Inspector Marsden. I like it.
Sean Slater is now the odds-on favourite to be revealed as Archie Mitchell's killer in tomorrow's climactic edition of EastEnders.
Bookmaker William Hill has slashed its odds on Sean being the murderer to 4/7 following a flurry of bets from punters.
The troubled character's strong showing in the betting comes despite the fact that he has been off screen since January 2009 following Rob Kazinsky's decision to quit the role.
Meanwhile, Janine Butcher's love interest Ryan Malloy - played by Neil McDermott - remains second favourite in the betting at 11/2.
Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Walford legend Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) are joint third favourites with odds of 9/1.
In a statement, William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said that a total of £1 million could be gambled on the outcome by the time the betting closes.
He added: "The BBC have done a brilliant job keeping everyone guessing as we have taken bets on 24 different members of the cast, but the absent Sean Slater has been today's big gamble."
The killer's identity will finally be revealed to viewers in tomorrow night's live 25th anniversary episode.
DS
William Hill's odds don't seem to bear much resemblance to what we've been discussing here. I guess most people don't hear about spoilers like the fact that Jack may be covering for somebody.

I don't know why Sean is the favourite! I am really surprised... it has to be one of the current cast that killed him or it's a complete cop out.
Surely he'd have gone to check Stacey was OK if his motive was killing Archie because of what he did to Stacey? It just wouldn't make much sense if the killer was Sean, if you ask me.

There was a rumour Sean came back so everyone is expecting it to be him now.. I now think ronnie but Bradley will be down as the killer in the police eyes and ron gets away with it only to come out in 5 years in a christmas special explosive episode
...it has to be one of the current cast that killed him or it's a complete cop out.
I agree Davey, that's how I feel too.
I'm gonna be absolutely gutted tommorrow if Bradley dies and is blamed for Archie's murder. I can't wait but I'm dreading it at the same time.
I'm thinking its Roxy who killed Archie more and more

We asked you who you thought killed EastEnders' villain Archie Mitchell and an overwhelming 32% think that Stacey Slater is the one with blood on her hands.
http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/blog/article/406997/
Stacey finished ahead of Phil Mitchell, who got 16% of the vote, while 8% think that Peggy Mitchell was behind the Christmas Day murder.
Interestingly, 12% of those who voted in our poll thought that none of the 12 key suspects we had listed were to blame and instead thought that someone else was behind the killing. Perhaps a character from the show's past will be unmasked as the culprit in a shock twist?
Amost 3,000 votes were cast and the full poll results were:
Stacey Slater - 32%
Phil Mitchell - 16%
Someone else - 12%
Peggy Mitchell - 8%
Ryan Malloy - 7%
Jack Branning - 7%
Bradley Branning - 6%
Glenda Mitchell - 3%
Sam Mitchell - 3%
Janine Butcher - 3%
Roxy Mitchell - 2%
Ronnie Mitchell - 2%
Ian Beale - 1%
The murderer will be revealed tonight at the end of EastEnders' first-ever live episode at 8pm on BBC One.
The outcome of the storyline is such a massive secret that the actor who is behind the killing will only be told he or she is responsible halfway through the episode.
Only seven people in the EastEnders' production team know the answer to one of the biggest soap whodunnits ever.
My wife's sisters cousin heard someone in town who knows a man whose brother once watched Eastenders and he told his Uncle that the killer was Mr Pappadopolous.
So Im off to Peter Barlows bookies to stick a monkey on the Pony to win
Ben Mitchell has become the surprise favourite to be revealed as Archie Mitchell's killer in tonight's live episode of EastEnders.
The unlikely suspect, played by young actor Charlie Jones, now has odds of 11/4 with William Hill following strong support from punters over the past 24 hours.
Yesterday's favourite Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) follows closely behind at 7/2. The troubled character being unveiled as the murderer would also be a shock as he has been absent from screens since January 2009.
Jean Slater (5/1) and Becca Swanson (6/1) are the next two biggest suspects in the betting.
Meanwhile, Ronnie Mitchell's first love Joel Reynolds has now made a late appearance in the market with one gambler placing a substantial bet on the character at 33/1. Since the bet, William Hill have slashed his odds to 7/1.
In other news, Dot Branning, Heather Trott, Minty Peterson and Ian and Jane Beale are currently the main outsiders, with each being available for bets at 100/1.
EastEnders Live airs tonight at 8pm on BBC One.

My final decision is Ronnie killed Archie and I'm sticking too it. I think she'll confess to Roxy tonight.
You sure you will not change your mind, Davey?? :D

the ghost of den watts did it (ok I have picked everyone else just clutching at straws)
Diederick Santer has also said that it would be a surprise, which is why I don't think it's someone obvious like Ronnie or Janine. I think it may be Roxy, as that would be surprising, and Jack would cover up for her, but then again she's one of the only characters who hasn't been angry.
Stacey also fits the bill, but I don't think she'd let Bradley suffer as he has been.

So I read this on my FB page, one of my friends commented another and said the below..
Therefore it is not very reliable but sounds reasonably likely.. Though, why would Jack help the person below out though? No idea. "bradley dies today as well today!! that becca bird goes all psycho and kills him and while hes dying stacey admits she killed archie.. but as bradley is the one to blame everyone will pin it on him and now that hes dead staceys got away with it!!"
Stacey isn't acting guilty enough IMO. You can't bump somebody off and act like it never happened or not show any signs of knowing more than one should.
I honestly don't know who it is. My money was on Janine to start with but I don't think she did it.
Was Becca around when Archie was killed? She seems the most likely person and she's also unbalanced enough to do it.

I've got to say how mean and nasty was Mr Beetroot tonight? A James Bond Baddie in the making. I was disapointed that our favourite poison dwaf didn't get the chance to say "Get out offf Maaaaaaaaaaaa Pubbbbbbbbbbb" live on air. I would have loved for her to say that to Janine. Then have janine turn round and say. "Peggy. It's not your pub no more" :lol:

So the idea that Jack was going to confront the killer and say he would protect them was complete and utter b******s!
Yep. I feel quite stupid for believing that one :o
I'm glad that Jack was really trying to help Bradley, and not manipulating him to cover for someone else though.

It seems so... I fell for it hook line and sinker..
