I can't remember. Was Dean in Walford at the time of Lucy's murder?

Oh, never mind, I did a search and found an article of unlikely suspects. Sorry, parkerman, but it's doubtful Dean will ever be a suspect...

Dean Wicks is guilty of a heinous crime on the soap, but it isn't Lucy Beale's murder. As well as the lack of obvious motive, the man who raped Linda Carter was absent from the soap at the time of the killing.

As he has -so far- got away with one crime-
it might be poetic justice if he was arrested
for another one he hadnt committed!

Well EE has a track record on this. It's what Pat did to get Janine arrested and banged up.

Yeah, but how they get anyone to believe Dean did it? Like I said, he wasn't even in Eastenders during the whole murder thing, and as far as I know he didn't really know Lucy all that well, if at all. Writers would have to do a complete overhaul to make this seem plausible.

billy was never a suspect with police was he?

Billy was interviewed as Lee Carter told the police that he saw him arguing with Lucy. They made the storyline quite disjointed with those online only interviews I think. Billy and Jay were interviewed in that way (as was Jake) but it was only Jake that wasn't back on the Square by the next episode.

Dean was around that week. There was a creepy scene where he was spying on Shirley. If the police found out that he was in Walford but never spoke to anyone, suspicion could fall on him.

I doubt he would be the one arrested though as it would help Ian and Jane's conscience if a suspected rapist were arrested. Ian's mum was raped so he's probably more inclined than the majority to believe Linda (or be bothered enough to side with her) even though Dean was never charged.

No-one here is suggesting he will be arrested for the murder, though Kim is right about that one creepy scene he was involved in at the time of Lucy's murder....

Surprisingly, Ian doesn't believe Linda. He made a comment to that effect a couple of months ago (just after Jim's funeral I believe).

Hi Anfunny :)

I think Ronnie's cameras could still catch him out. Her paranoia over Roxy and Charlie seems to be over now, and I'm hoping the whole point of that storyline was to put the cameras in place to catch Dean out. I don't think anything's going to happen soon though as it unfortunately looks like Matt di Angelo will be in EE for the foreseeable. :thumbsdow

Cindy and Liam's prom day has arrived. When Ian refuses to visit Cindy, Bobby decides to take matters into his own hands and invites her over to the Beale house. When Cindy arrives, she is surprised by Ian's kindness towards her - but the atmosphere turns sour when he reveals that Jane has been paying Carol to look after her. Following another argument with her family, Cindy returns to the Butcher house and accuses Liam and Carol of betraying her.

Deciding to drown her sorrows, Cindy visits The Albert and asks two men to buy her drinks. Liam comes looking for her but is shocked when he sees her getting into a car with the men. He rushes off to warn Ian and Jane, who immediately call the police. Cindy starts to regret her foolish decision when she realises that she might be in danger...

Meanwhile, Nancy heads out with Linda - wanting to give Lee some space so that he can speak to Mick about his problems. Unfortunately, various dramas at The Vic leave Mick distracted and make it difficult for Lee to find the right moment. Things get worse when Lee realises that he has left the door open and Lady Di has escaped, which infuriates Mick. Fortunately, Lee manages to find the Carters' beloved dog at the allotments.

Later, Lee makes another attempt to speak to his father but ends up playing the role of confidant himself when Mick opens up over his own fears. Nancy gets angry when she returns home and realises that Lee still hasn't said anything to Mick, but as she tries her best to force him, Lee pushes her and she falls down.

Elsewhere, Stacey helps out Shabnam at a birthing class and reveals that she is pregnant. After some encouragement from Shabnam, Stacey speaks to Martin about what she wants.

Tensions run high in Albert Square following Cindy's disappearing act. Ian finds it particularly difficult to cope, breaking down as he speaks to Jane about it. Ian and Martin launch a search for Cindy, but the situation quickly becomes too much for Ian. He heads to the police station but is relieved to find Cindy outside.

Once the family are reunited at home, Jane asks to be alone with Cindy and is relieved when she reveals that she wasn't hurt in any way. Ian is now keen to make amends, but Cindy insists that they don't really care about her and leaves. Liam encourages Cindy to return home, but what will she decide?

Later, the journalist who slandered Lucy at the press conference arrives and tells Ian that the police have a new witness in Lucy's murder case...

Meanwhile, Lee makes an excuse for his scuffle with Nancy when Mick starts asking questions. When they help with the search for Cindy, Whitney realises that all is not right with her boyfriend. Lee finally opens up to Whitney when she presses him on the situation. Lee admits that he is scared to see a doctor as he doesn't want to lose his job.

Elsewhere, Stacey and Martin continue to discuss their future together, but they are interrupted by Ian.

News of a new suspect in the Lucy Beale case has hit the front pages, shocking the residents of Albert Square. Ian struggles to come to terms with the revelation and wonders what to do. He heads off to the restaurant when he feels overwhelmed, but Sharon encourages him to get to the bottom of what is going on.

Ian takes Sharon's advice on board, telling Jane and Cindy that they need to ask the police about the new evidence rather than running scared. It's not long before the police arrive on the Square, determined to make an arrest...

Meanwhile, when Max learns that Carol is planning to sell Jim's motorbike to help him out of his financial mess, he suggests that they should go for a final ride together. Carol isn't sure, but eventually agrees after she and Max find themselves in an argument with Ben.

Elsewhere, Phil has received a tip-off from Ritchie and tells Ben that the police will be on the Square today. Keen to take precautions, he asks Ben to get rid of a dodgy car. With Paul playing on his mind, a distracted Ben decides to show off and takes the car over to Blades - with embarrassing consequences. Ben later meets with Paul and the pair share another kiss.

Also today, Dean sets Paul and Lola the task of a 'cut and colour' to decide who gets the job at Blades. Lola is quick to recruit Jay, but Paul gets more than he bargained for when Pam agrees to take part.

Finally, Max and Kush both discover Stacey's baby secret, while Pam has an idea up her sleeve to get Paul interested in the business.

Oh dear. I wouldn't want to be Ian and Jane then. I mean, I can understand them lying to protect their son, but setting someone innocent up to take the fall...that's not right! And there's no way they can keep it secret, as nothing ever remains secret for long on EE, and how's Bobby gonna react one day when he finds out he really killed his sister and that someone innocent took the fall.

Max wasn't arrested before that I can recall. He was only a suspect in Keeble's head because of his secret affair with Lucy. Only Jake, Jay and Billy were ever questioned at the station as far as I know.

Perhaps Max will head off with Robbie and Carol and decide to return after a year. With Lauren in New Zealand, Abi with the Mitchells for now, he doesn't have much of a reason to stick around. Or maybe he'll want to move closer to Tanya and Oscar as he feels the other kids don't need him, so he might as well be there for the one that does.

Plenty of possibilities to write him out at the minute.

Meanwhile, EastEnders reintroduces a familiar face later this month as the Lucy Beale storyline takes its latest twists.

Phil Mitchell's old enemy DCI Marsden (Sophie Stanton) will take charge of the murder investigation after new evidence comes to light, putting one Albert Square resident in the frame.

Lucy's murder case was shelved in February after the police realised that they had exhausted all avenues, but that all changes next week when a witness comes forward with new information.

The witness's evidence leads to a wrongful arrest on the Square as the police mistakenly think they have now uncovered the truth.

Our pictures show Marsden working with DI Keeble (Alison Newman) on the case, but who is the innocent party they have in their sights?

It's a male, because Keeble said, "We didn't want it to spook him" (in reference to the newspaper) and Ian and Jane thought she was referring to Bobby, when in fact she was referring to the suspect. Whoever it is, they get formally charged with murder on Tuesday, so it's not going to be Phil, who is essential to Kathy's return in a few weeks. I doubt it'll be Ben, either - he's Ian's brother and has the gay storyline just starting up. It's more likely to be Jay, who has zero storylines... he's going to be with Lola getting his haircut and the police will make a public arrest, creating drama, right? My guess.

So it WAS Ben! And I think it's going to be Ben who is charged and remanded in custody too. As it stands, all the police have (as we're about to find out next week) is the taxi driver Lauren tracked down, who positively identifies Ben as being seen with Lucy near the time. Jay is Ben's alibi, and vice versa, so to go from that positive ID to a formal charge, they're going to need something more.

We know from the spoilers for next week that the charged suspect's family turn their back on them too, which is something Phil would simply never do, not even for Jay. So could it be Ian and Jane who drop Ben into it with the phone and purse containing Ben's fingerprints and it's that family walking away from Ben? DTC did say the storyline was going to get very dark for the Beales after the reveal...
