Lucy Beale will return from the dead for a special EastEnders flashback episode that will air during the live week and will show exactly how and why she was murdered.
In an EastEnders-first, executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins is yet again pushing the boundaries to make sure the 30th celebrations for the BBC soap go off with a bang.
Already marking the anniversary with a special live week which will see Lucy’s killer revealed after a ten-month investigation, they will now have the opportunity to see exactly how and why it happened as Hetti Bywater returns to film flashback scenes.
Viewers will be taken back to the night she was murdered where the blanks will be filled in and many unanswered questions will be answered, as well as other stories featuring.
Was Ian really with Rainie that night? What were Ben and Jay really up to? What secret are Abi and Max hiding? Is Jake really innocent?
And while it will focus on Lucy’s final moments in Walford, it will also feature other stories to tie up even more lose ends.
As well as Hetti returning, Jamie Lomas (Jake Stone) and Tanya Franks (Rainie Cross) are also getting ready to film more flashback scenes.
