Well it makes a change from an iron or a glass ashtray

Was he returning the favour after her plate smashing on his head do you think? What goes around, comes around as they say?! lol

EXCLUSIVE: THE KILLER OF ALBERT SQUARE
HE GOT RID OF PAULINE.. NOW HE'S AFTER DOT
By Nicola Methven, Tv Editor
THIS is the shocking moment when Joe Macer tries to throttle poor old Dot Branning after she discovers that he killed Pauline Fowler.

Dot (June Brown) has puzzled over Pauline's end since she dropped down dead on Christmas Day.

Daughter-in-law Sonia Fowler's in the frame because she slapped Pauline before she died.

But Dot's not convinced and confronts Pauline's husband Joe (Ray Brooks) who confesses he smashed her over the head with a frying pan after they rowed. Viewers are set for a cracking episode tomorrow as Dot's husband Jim (John Bardon) turns up in the nick of time.


A show insider said: "Dot is suspicious about Joe's return and questions him as he rummages through drawers at the burnt-out house.


"She begins to realise that Joe came back there on Christmas Day and tries to make sense of what happened. He admits that he did indeed return and hit Pauline hard on the head.


"As he makes the astonishing confession, Joe becomes angry and Dot is scared but she eventually gets the full truth from him - that he's a killer. Joe insists that she keeps quiet and she realises he intends to let Sonia take the rap."


Dot frantically reaches for the phone to call the police but Joe lunges at her. Luckily Jim spots her in the window as he walks across the Square. He rushes over and goes for Joe.


The Albert Square killer ducks and plunges through the window on to a market stall below.

FFS, how totally ridiculous. As if Jim could see them, as they'd be on the ground floor, and there's a wall and fence in the way. Also how does Mr Benn fall onto the market? That's well away from the Fowler house. He'd have to fly 70 metres out of the window. I see they chose the Arfur battering method again, how original.

My boycott is about to resume in a few days....

i read on itv teletext today that Joe did kill pauline he confesses to dot that he hit pauline over the head with a frying pan

[Lizzie Brookes]

I see. So it had nothing to do with the bowl then. In fact even if the bowl bounced off her head it smashed on the floor immediately afterward and I don't somehow think a person drops dead every time they hit their head on something. I'm wondering if Phil suspected because if so why didn't he say? Though it would certainly explain why he helped Sonia get away. I'm just thinking - I mean even if Joe did visit Pauline's house and use his key to get inwhy did she suddenly look terrified and say "you"?

Well I remember they did have an arguement and he smashed up her things, so I would be suprised if she looked teriffied.

Obviously they would have to move upstairs so Jim would be able to see them.. and Martins stall is just outside the door and if Joe jumps with enough force he could land on it.... It is a soap and it is pretty good stuff

[Jojo]

So Dot confronts Joe in the Fowler house, so I'm thinking that Dot makes a run for it upstairs after Jo stops her from getting to the phone, and thats how Joe falls onto the market stall.

What a turn around for the mild Joe though! And I still say its payback for Pauline whacking him with the plate lol

[Jojo]

Merging two similar threads as both now discussing Joe being the murderer and his death following Dots discovery etc....
