Lucy Beale

[parkerman]

My post was doubled, no idea why, can anyone tell me what i did to have my post duplicated?

You didn't do anything. It happens to all of us. It's a strange quirk of this site - and this site only - that apparently everyone is powerless to do anything about.

I've been reading some interesting discussions on Lucy's murder since the New Year episodes, top suspects now seem to be Abi or Jane.

Abi - Motive being that she found out about Max's affair with Lucy. The 'but it's still murder' comment from Emma at the park also suggests she didn't mean it, it was a row that got out of hand etc. Plus there's the whole thing about Lucy's row with Max on the day and she hit her head, with Abi clearing up the blood in the car lot. If Abi or Max did it, then the other one has helped them cover it up. Also, Abi has been really quite odd since it all happened, running over the dog, attacking Lauren at Halloween. Abi is one of the few people who looks like she might be cracking under the stress. She was also in the Beale house at Christmas and could have planted the music box.

Jane - Motive being that she she blames Lucy for not being able to have children (she gave Steven the gun which he shot her with) and also cos Lucy had an abortion when she said Jane could bring up the child. Also, on a slightly more cynical side, Jane has come and go as a character for a while and it makes it easier to write her out. Jane also didn't want to go to Lucy's funeral, she slept with Ian and then legged it - now that is odd on many levels! She also claimed to have seen Lauren going to see Lucy and then turning back - Emma seemed obsessed with the houses on the square before her death, looking at footage etc. She said to Max in the car "it wasn't there", suggesting Jane's claim to have seen Lauren is untrue.

Anyone else got any theories?

Winston - Motive, years of being overlooked and ignored. Thought this was a way to get himself a good story line. He has already been written out, so no problem with him leaving.

Nick Cotton - Motive: He doesn't need one as he is a soap villain and has already murdered two people. So, a possible motive could be to become champion soap murderer with more murders than anyone else. Another character who comes and goes so not difficult to write him out. Also the very first episode of EE began with Reg Cox's murder, committed by Nick, so it would be fitting for the 30th anniversary show to have another Nick murder. Also, why exactly has he returned to the show?

Peggy Mitchell- Motive being that she would want to be central to one of the biggest story lines in EE history. We know she is making a return in February. Why?

That's got to be worth a triple Parkerman ...
