would denise not put a jacket on when she left the car?
but, what happened to the girl he locked up, did i miss it with all the shifting around with the football?
also it said in the papers that 6 were being got rid of in eastenders, mostly those kids,I've counted 6 and Diane Parish is not one of them!
Nah I think he must get another "prositute" who resemble DEnise and shoves her in the water, then locks up Denise like he did with that other girl.

BBC Three goes behind the scenes with EastEnders' man of the cloth gone bad again at the end of the month for an hour-long The Murders of Lucas Johnson.

After a two-year stint, Lucas's secrets unravel in dramatic style in a few weeks' time in an explosive showdown at the Truemans' - and the horrifying truth is sure to tear the whole family apart.

The one-hour show takes a look back at Lucas's story, while also reflecting on some of the soap's best demises in its 25-year history.

EastEnders: The Murders of Lucas Johnson airs on Friday, July 30 at 8.30pm on BBC Three.

...what happened to the girl he locked up, did i miss it with all the shifting around with the football?

If you mean the girl he took Denise to see, I don't think she was locked up in that flat, just under his spell.

once the autopsy takes place they will know she was strangled and that he left the Prayer Meeting, and she was killed its because she knew who killed Owen ..

well the "supposed" body of denise was lifted in the water, but what i want to know is, what happened to her wedding ring?

Coz from where i was looking it was her left hand that was shown and there was no wedding ring on!

No doubt lucas will say she was mugged first,
but then that does not make sense why she would text her girls saying sorry (coz are we not meant to think she has took her own life?)

eh i can't figure it out, please enlighten me you wise ones

I'm as much in the dark as you are, to be honest.

I did notice that the body had bright pink nail varnish, just like Denise had been wearing, but apart from that you couldn't really tell if it was her. I didn't notice whether she was wearing a wedding ring or not.

I'm not sure how Lucas thinks he can get away with strangling her then pretending she killed herself. Surely a post mortem will find bruises and the real cause of death.

If Denise is really dead (as seems the case), I'm still perplexed by the complete lack of hype surrounding Diane Parrish's leaving EE. I can understand if EE bosses wanted to keep it top secret, but nothing's been said even now Denise is dead.

Yeah but this is Eastenders - the police have an appalling track record when it comes to these things.

The BBC has dismissed complaints that EastEnders' current storyline featuring Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet) is offensive to Christians.

Viewers have seen Johnson murder his wife's ex-husband and leave his own ex-wife to die following an accident. Most recent scenes aired appeared to show the preacher strangle wife Denise (Diane Parish).

The BBC said in a statement: "Lucas is certainly not intended to be representative of Christians. He is a very damaged and dangerous individual who has created a twisted version of the Christian 'faith' in his mind to hide behind and to convince himself that his actions are acceptable. As the story unfolds, we will see other characters questioning Lucas's claim to be a Christian.

"As Lucas has become increasingly unhinged, his obsession and reliance on the Bible and the scriptures has become increasingly frantic and desperate. This represents this character's emotional breakdown, and it is very clear that this is absolutely not normal behaviour."

It was also confirmed that future scenes will see other characters question Lucas's behaviour.

"In episodes yet to broadcast, we will see the characters Grace, Mercy and Dot - all three of whom are Christians - question and discuss Lucas's frame of mind," the statement concluded.

A BBC Three special, EastEnders: The Murders of Lucas Johnson, will air at the end of the month.

If it is not one group complaining, it is another. This is happening in real life, it is a storyline in a fictional setting and in no way offensince

I think the current storyline about Syed trying to change is offensive to all gay people. I think the current storyline about Phil and Ben is offensive to all dads. I think the current storyline about Adam being such a creep is offensive to all disabled people. I think the current storyline about Minty throwing Darren out is offensive to all football supporters (and car mechanics). I think the current storyline about Peggy and Glenda is just plain offensive to everyone.

Who should I write to?
