Something to do with Ben from the looks of it.

Totally absorbing episode. The Kat interludes a waste of time imo. The quality of the rest carried it through. Take my hat off to the cast for tonights efforts. Probably incorrect, but think we're in for a complete surprise for the identity of the culprit.

Oooh I hope you're right Glen! I'll be delighted if my guesses are wrong (as long as the answer doesn't turn out to be silly).

I'd be delighted if your guesses were right Dazzle, either a Beale or a Branning. Anyone else would need to have an off the chart motive for a good culprit conclusion.

It would be a risky move by the EE team and could alienate viewers if the reveal is silly or unsatisfying. I hope that doesn't happen even if just for the fact that I think they've put their heart and soul into this storyline (and I'm guessing that careers are riding on it).

Nobody missed a beat as far as I could tell.* Well done to all involved!

So the killer is one of the Beales. I don't think there can be any doubt now that Jane is involved in some way (though probably not the actual killer). From the looks Cindy's been giving this week I'm going with her my final choice for killer I think. I think it's unlikely to be Peter from the way he accused the others. I laughed at the way Bobby was teased as the killer for a moment! :D

I can't wait for tomorrow's reveal!!

*Although I've now read that Joy Joyner called Ian "Adam" and Mimi Keene (Cindy) covered it up. If that's true I didn't notice a thing. :D

Yes, I noticed it at the time. She asked Jane "How's Adam?"

good episode, perhaps too many live bits, although it does have you on the edge of your seat, poor jo, bless. it does add to the experience. loved dots monologue, that worked well. i am not sure that it works with part of the episode being live and part recorded. i think it should be all or nothing? Looking forward to tomorrow and the live episode on friday.

Having the whole episode live is a massive logistical exercise so I don't blame them for having inserts during most of the episodes this week. I think it was very well done.

I do agree that flicking between live and pre-recorded can take you out of the experience a bit but it's been done so that the secrets wouldn't leak beforehand (as only a handful of people were in the know) and so that we wouldn't end up in the situation that happened for the 25th. There, Stacey confessed right at the end of the episode and then the storyline was then ignored for weeks as the pre-recorded episodes caught up. That was super annoying! This time we're getting lots of revelations every day, a flashback episode and we'll have a whole fully live aftermath episode on Friday.

I think we're being truly spoilt this week. :)

The wedding was amazing - seeing Winston back in his rightful place at the back of the hall. Welcome back old friend.
