I agree with you DG cos I said it in another post that was ignored, I think Andrew will probably murder Heather, in fit of jealousy, don't think Ben will do it. Andrew was not hired to be on full time was he ??? But Ben is too wrapped up in his Dads story line to be dragged off for Heathers murder,, hmmm I can also see a story in this too father and son in the lock up both in for murder ...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmQuote:

Ben confesses his crime to dad Phil, who keeps an eye on the police investigation and persuades his son to keep quiet.
"Heather's murder is the next really big storyline coming up - and it's going to be huge. Everyone was desperate to keep the fact that it's Ben who kills her under wraps because it's all pointing towards Andrew," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.
"He's been getting more controlling and possessive over the last few weeks and has a bad temper.
"So even though it's Ben who kills her, the police and everyone else on Albert Square believe it was Andrew. It's a terrible crime that sends shockwaves through the Square."
It was announced last year that Fergison would be leaving EastEnders after five years.
She filmed her final scenes last month and her co-stars will film Heather's funeral this week.
did we ever find out anything about Andrew's past. when he kicked off at Heather his mum said something like 'i don't want anything to happen again' - are we thinking he might have a police record for violence or anything?
The police investigation will probably bring any past violence to light.Quote:

Over on EastEnders, heartbreaking scenes lie ahead as Shirley Carter is left devastated by the death of her best friend Heather Trott.
As first reported some time ago, Heather meets a tragic end later this month as Ben Mitchell kills her during a furious showdown at her flat.
The drama begins when DCI Marsden is given cause to question Ben's statement regarding Stella's death, which leads to the troubled teen being charged with perverting the course of justice. Phil's release is then immediately ordered as the case against him has fallen apart.
As Ben wonders who informed Marsden of his deceit, Heather is at the top of his suspect list - so he storms round to her flat to furiously confront her. Jay soon arrives to calm things, but the situation escalates as Ben starts ransacking Heather's home - looking for the money that Dot gave to her so that he can use it to run away before Phil arrives back.
When Heather tries to stop Ben, he lashes out in a moment of fear and desperation - grabbing a picture frame and hitting her hard over the back of the head with it. As Heather falls backwards, she hits her head on the kitchen worktop - and Ben and Jay are horrified to see that she is dead.
A sickened Phil (Steve McFadden) later helps Ben to cover up the crime, faking a burglary at Heather's flat, destroying evidence and leaving the scene.
Later, when Shirley (Linda Henry) finds Heather dead at the flat, she's distraught - and it's Phil who's left to comfort her, feeling torn by what he knows. Can Phil, Jay and Ben maintain their momentous lie?

What's wrong with that? If you hit someone over the back of the head they are quite likely to fall backwards.Quote:

It would depend on the angle of the blow and the strength behind it, but, until we see how it's done, I don't think you can say the scriptwriters have made a mistake.Quote:

EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has admitted that bidding farewell to the soap was an "emotional" experience.
The actress recently filmed her final scenes as Heather Trott, who meets a tragic end later this month as she is killed by troubled teen Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe).
Fergison reflected on her Walford exit while speaking to Red Carpet News TV at the season two premiere of House of Anubis yesterday (March 11), confirming that her fellow cast members threw her a leaving party.
"I've actually finished at EastEnders now - I finished filming about three weeks ago," she explained. "You'll see the results of that on the 19th.
"The send-off was very emotional and we had a great party. It was lovely to see everybody. I'm just going to miss it, because it's a great family show. But onwards and upwards."
She added: "Working with Linda Henry who plays Shirley has been an amazing experience, [she's] a very close friend. I've made some really good friends.
"Keep watching and thank you very much for all of your support over the years. Keep an eye out for other stuff that I do."
Fergison's EastEnders departure was announced last September.
Ben kills her and Andrew gets blamed and charged with itQuote:

Actress Fergison recently admitted that bidding farewell to the soap was an "emotional" experience.
EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell embarks on a desperate attempt to protect son Ben next week after the troubled teenager kills Heather Trott.
As first reported earlier this year, Heather (Cheryl Fergison) will soon meet a tragic end as Ben (Joshua Pascoe) turns violent at her flat, believing that she's responsible for DCI Marsden discovering that he lied about Phil and Stella.
Heather's final scene sees Ben lash out at her in a moment of fear and desperation, picking up a picture frame and hitting her hard over the side of the head with it.
As Ben and Jay (Jamie Borthwick) watch on in horror, the mum-of-one then falls backwards, hits her head on her kitchen worktop and is left lying dead on the floor.
When Phil stumbles upon the disturbing scene after being released from prison, he decides that he has to protect his twisted son and goes all-out to conceal the crime.

Thinking quickly, Phil fakes a burglary at Heather's home and takes away all evidence which links to Ben and Jay. He's also forced to leave Heather's young son George lying asleep in his bed at the flat.
Phil then comes up with a cover story for Ben and Jay, ordering them to claim that they've been busy working on a car at The Arches all night. Additionally, he arranges for the boys to burn their clothes, while the all-important picture frame - which contains a happy photo of Heather and Shirley - is dumped in the canal.
However, it seems that Ben is already scheming as he deliberately conceals Jay's hoodie, not wanting it to be destroyed with the other items of clothing…
When Shirley (Linda Henry) later finds Heather's dead body at the flat, a police investigation is launched - and Ben and Jay are among those who need to be quizzed to eliminate them from the enquiry.

While Ben seems eerily calm, a tormented Jay is traumatised by the entire situation. As the pair are led away for separate questioning, can they really maintain their lies?
To make matters worse for Phil, the police are also starting to suspect that the burglary at Heather's flat was faked. Is his cover-up already in jeopardy?
EastEnders airs Heather's dramatic exit and its fallout all next week on BBC One.
So Ben will frame Jay at some stage as he kept the hoodie
So it will seem.
EastEnders star Steve McFadden has revealed that he is thrilled to be involved in Heather Trott's tragic exit, hailing it as one of his best storylines yet.
The actor's character Phil Mitchell embarks on a desperate cover-up next week after his troubled son Ben (Joshua Pascoe) kills Heather during a furious argument at her flat.
Even though Heather was the best friend of his partner Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), Phil decides that he must put his own flesh and blood first - doing everything he can to help Ben and hiding the truth from Shirley.
McFadden told Inside Soap: "I would say that this is one of the best storylines I've ever been involved in - and I've been here a long time.
"When we first got the scripts, I said to Josh, 'There's a scale of one to 10 when you get a storyline here, and this is a 10. So roll up your sleeves, because you've got a lot of work coming your way. It could be great if we get it right'. And I think we are getting it right."
The 52-year-old said that he would be "sad" if Phil and Shirley split up as the story progresses.
"Phil and Shirley are great together - they're a match made in heaven," he explained. "But they split up and then they get back together again - that see-sawing always goes on, and if you want to have a career in soap, I think you have to embrace that rather than bemoan it."
McFadden also confirmed that he is planning to keep in touch with Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather, as they became good friends on set.
I could think of another place....Quote:

I agree lizann but it looks like Ben will drop Jay in it and probably Phil eventually, I would not be surprised to see this storyline run till the end of the year. It surely must only finish when Ben leaves the show, assuming he gets caught?Quote:

> 'EastEnders' death aftermath: Full spoilers revealed
Of how Phil tries to cover up the murder to protect his son, McFadden told What's on TV: "He manages to get hold of Shirley's phone and delete the message without her realising.
"He has to because Heather was on the phone when she answered the door to Ben, so the message machine had recorded everything. Hearing it sickens Phil."
"Family is everything to him," McFadden continued. "First he fakes a burglary, then he destroys the evidence. He gets Ben to throw away the murder weapon - the frame he hit Heather with.
"Then he finds Jay and gets both boys to change their clothes. He burns them so there is no trace of blood on either of them. Then he creates an alibi for them.

> 'EastEnders' exit was emotional, says Cheryl Fergison
"This is a story of loyalty and betrayal - his love of Ben is what forces him to be disloyal to the love of his life, Shirley."
McFadden recently lauded Heather's exit storyline as "one of the best" he has "ever been involved in" since joining the Albert Square soap in 1988.
EastEnders actress Linda Henry has paid tribute to former co-star Cheryl Fergison, praising her portrayal of kind-hearted Heather Trott.
Fergison filmed her final scenes for the soap a few weeks ago, and viewers will see Heather meet a tragic end in Monday night's (March 19) episode.
Henry, who plays Heather's best friend Shirley Carter, shares her memories of working with Fergison during an interview on upcoming BBC Three special EastEnders Revealed: The Murder.
"The public took to [Heather] immediately," Henry explained. "It could have been a one-dimensional role, but Cheryl has brought so many different layers to Heather. I don't think there is anyone who could have played Heather like Cheryl."
She continued: "We just immediately, and I'm not just saying this, clicked."
Monday's episode sees troubled teenager Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) kill Heather during a furious showdown at her flat. However, Fergison stayed on set for the aftermath scenes, which air across the rest of the week.
Henry confirmed: "Cheryl decided to play the corpse, because she knew how much that meant to us and how much we would relate to seeing her there."
In the hours following Heather's death, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) tries to cover up his son's involvement in the tragedy - concealing the truth from partner Shirley.
Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood told EastEnders Revealed that Heather's exit sparks "an enormous storyline that is going to rumble on for quite some time".
He added: "When Shirley finds out, there's going to be a nuclear reaction. Phil always wanted Ben to be a Mitchell and now he's got what he wanted in the worst possible fashion, so I think Phil is going to regret ever saying those words to his son."
EastEnders Revealed: The Murder airs on Thursday, March 22 at 8pm on BBC Three. The show features interviews with Cheryl Fergison, Linda Henry, Steve McFadden, Jamie Borthwick and Bryan Kirkwood among others.
Two benefits from Heather's demise.
1. Harry Hill surely has to drop his stupid, cruel and unfunny "Heather from Eastenders" skits.
2. Lisa Reilly now has some competition when scripts call for a Thirtysomething " larger than life" female character. Hopefully, in future, producers employing her will give Cheryl Fergison's characters the benefit of brain cells, unlike their Eastenders counterparts.
I thought Sharon and booze was the love of Phil's life :pQuote:
