Lucy Beale

Perhaps. I never took Pam, Les, Lee or Ben seriously as suspects anyway. Ben has form for manslaughter and is related to the Beales, but I don't think they'd have him kill again when they've just brought him back. There would be no sympathy for him then.

but we are still assuming that the killer gets caught? what if the killer is revealed to us - but not to the Albert Square residents?

I was meaning viewer sympathy. Ben was pretty hated by the audience when he left I think, so why waste the improvement that there's been on another murder? He's an important character in the history of the show so they should be staying away from writing him into another corner. He's more important to the show than Louise, as Kathy was also a major character. Lisa, like Laura Beale, seems to have been forgotten.

That would mean the speculation would go on for ever. If the killer isn't revealed, the Beales will have no peace and the ongoing investigation will keep recurring, even when we, the viewers, know the answer. I can't see that happening, it would quickly get very boring.

On the other hand, of course, to counter that, it may be that after the killer is revealed to the viewers, the investigation won't be mentioned again even though as far as the residents go the killer hasn't been found which would just be totally unrealistic.

EastEnders have released a new teaser image as the 'Who killed Lucy Beale' storyline nears its long-awaited conclusion.

The picture focuses on Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater), with the faces of her murder suspects lined up at the top of the image.

The suspects were narrowed down over the New Year period, leaving only 14 characters in the frame as opposed to the entire cast.

However, fans may notice that Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) does not feature in the image, indicating that she might be ruled out of the murder mystery in the coming weeks.

Next week's episodes will see Lauren uncover a vital clue in the investigation, after she finds a missing piece from the important police file of Emma Summerhayes.

EastEnders recently released a chilling new trailer for the anniversary week, which will start on Tuesday, February 17.

And as EastEnders fans wait to discover who killed Lucy Beale, we can show you the first pictures of actress Hetti Bywater filming her character's grizzly murder.

In a series of flashbacks, viewers will see exactly what happened to Lucy on Good Friday before her body was found on Walford Common.

After nine months of twists and turns, the killer will be unmasked during the live episodes for the soap's 30th anniversary, starting on Tuesday, February 17.

Our exclusive pictures from the flashback scenes show Jay Brown following Lucy after she gets off a bus.

They speak to each other and Lucy appears to be giving him directions.

Jay has always insisted he was in the area of Walford Common to meet Ben Mitchell and carry out a robbery with him.

But what we didn't know was that Lucy's twin brother Peter was also out near the common that night - buying drugs.

Viewers have already found out Peter was Lucy's drug dealer but we had no idea he was close to the scene of her murder.

However, with 14 suspects still in the frame, we will have to wait to see if the drug deal has anything to do with her death.

Hetti, 20, returned to the BBC One soap last month to film the creepy new trailer promoting the big reveal.

All the week's episodes will feature a live element and the anniversary show will be completely live.

The anniversary week, which starts on Monday February 16, will also feature Lucy's on-screen dad Ian remarrying his ex-wife Jane.

An EastEnders source said: "It's been a storyline that's had viewers gripped for months and it's been very cleverly done.

"There are still only a handful of top executives who know who killed Lucy.

"Even the actor or actress responsible has no idea it was them.

"Bosses are still deciding when to tell him or her that they are the killer before it is revealed to the nation live on the anniversary.

"There are other surprises planned throughout the week and a real twist that no one will see coming.

"There's another huge storyline that's going to happen that week too.

"The 30th anniversary is a huge event in the soap's history and we're making sure it's one the fans will never ever forget."

This week's Radio Times has the "suspects" saying who they think killed Lucy:
Lorna Fitgerald (Abi): Ian. But added "Just in case it's me, I've been practising my guilty face."
Harry Reid (Ben): Jane is involved. Could be Cindy or Bobby with Jane covering up.
Laurie Brett (Jane): Abi or Peter.
Adam Woodyat (Ian): I suspect everyone
Diane Parish (Denise): Lady Di
Mimi Keen (Cindy): Peter
Ben Hardy (Peter): Abi
Jake Wood (Max): First thought it was Abi, then Ian, then Max, now has no idea.
Shona McGarty (Whitney): I think it's me
And finally, Hetti Bywater (Lucy): I want it to be Peter but part of me thinks it would give the public a shock if it turned out that Lucy committed suicide. Who killed Lucy? Lucy!

I am kind of on the fence about suicide. Whilst it certainly would be the biggest surprise, the fallout of the reveal would then get boring whereas a murder is more entertaining even after the killer is revealed. Anyway too bad suicide has already been ticked off the list.
