Pauline Fowlers Death

I think id send a warning to the residents. Quick find somewhere else to live. Im surprised they dont just kill off every one and do a brookside.

I know it's hard to picture jim as a murderer after recent years but he has had a history of being nasty. When he came in wasn't he an old racist? Plus it's been hinted at through his relationship with his son that he used to quite cruel. That's not to say I think he did it...I just don't think it's hugely far fetched.

Very true babyblue, i think people are just saying the way they are doing this storyline is just a copy of Emmerdale.

I think Joe did it, he wants us to believe he was at his daughters, he may have gone, AFTER, he whacked the miserable old Moo over the head, and slipped out the back door and back to his daughters ???
I think Sonia will finally be cleared, but the damage will have already been done !!! Too late for her and Martin to reconcile over all of this, this is just my 2 euro cents worth

What copy from Emmerdale. They filmed this ages ago. Ray Brookes left in November, long before Emmerdale was screened. It is pure coincidence.

[JustJodi]

Jim...a murderer??!!!
to be perfectly honest....what else would they do with Joe if they didn't kill him off?? Now Pauline's dead and buried, he has no purpose!

only problem I have with this comment , is Pauline has NOT been buried yet, they had to yank her back out of the crematorium for a PM, then had a PRAYER/MEMORIAL service for her this past Friday( no funeral ), so she ain't buried yet

[JustJodi]

I do not think any of the buildings will be high enough to kill Joe..even if he did slip and fall out the window , the fall would not have killed him..
I still think that Joe killed Pauline, remember he is a smooth EX-CON , he fooled every one in Walford about his past,, so how do we not know he is not capable of murder..??
Jim a KILLER,, thats a joke, as he says about Dot,, he wouldn't hurt a fly...

If EE keeps this up , Walford is gonna be a ghost town ,,

[Abbie]

Im still unsure but I dont think it will have anything to do with sonia, its way too obvious.

Brilliant just what we need yet another Explosive Sensational storyline EE are so good at doing these

It's also set to 'ROCK THE SQUARE' don't forget alan

Rock the Square? It couldn't even Rock The Casbah!

Sounds on paper to be another ridiculous 'sensationalist' twist in the utter farce that has followed Pauline's death.

The 'who killed Pauline Fowler?' storyline is set to take a new twist in the coming weeks.

It was revealed some time ago that Ray Brooks, who plays the battleaxe's now widowed husband Joe Macer, would be written out of the show.

But it seems he won't simply be disappearing into the sunset.

Instead, Joe will be killed off in dramatic fashion following an argument with Jim Branning.

Like Emmerdale's Tom King, he will fall through a window to his death.

But has Joe been pushed, or did he jump after becoming one of the chief suspects in Pauline's mysterious demise?
An EastEnders insider told The Sun: "The whodunnit is set to carry on. Sonia is the main suspect but then Joe dies, throwing confusion into the mix."

The plot will also thicken next week when missing Sonia returns to Albert Square - only to be driven away in a police car.

Ray Brooks has had a long and successful career, starring most notably in seminal Sixties drama Cathy Come Home, Big Deal, Growing Pains and Two Thousand Acres of Sky, as well as voicing several children's shows.

He took the role in EastEnders as a tribute to his daughter Emma, who died of cancer. It was her favourite programme.
