Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[lizann]

I'm sorry. I couldn't get over seeing my hero again. I thought he'd disappeared for ever. It was a great touch by DTC to bring him back and feature him in so many scenes.

The rest was ok. Some good scripting and acting and knocked spots off Corrie at the moment. I agree that Adam's performance in the live episode was a tour-de-force. In truth I think he outshone everyone else. I think it was a bit of a shame that Bobby being revealed as the killer was not a great surprise thanks to social media. I'm afraid it didn't really have the shock value it should have done for me. As a plot device it was a good idea and what happens next with his development will be very interesting.

The thing I am still not sure about with this though is what happens now with the investigation. Are the police just going to forget it? Are the Branning Family just going to drop the whole thing? Ian told Mick he knew who killed Lucy, is he just going to forget it? Sharon has been a life long friend of Ian; will she just forget it and never raise it again. Stacey also thinks Lauren knows who did it, won't she pursue it? I still need to see how all this is going to resolve itself.

I'm also very unhappy about bringing Kathy back. It just happens too often in Soaps. Finding a way to bring someone back from the dead or getting them out of prison because the actor and producer thinks it would be nice to be back. Sorry, don't like that. Reg Cox will be next....or will it be Dean?

at time of lucy's dead mick made of point of his daughter being same age and didn't want a murderer on square around her now he knows ian knows the real killer what will he do they cant just drop the case

Don't know whether D.I Keeble will do a great deal ,not on past performance. Denise may be the one to start shaking things up. The only couple of comments I would make about the plot is, I think it went on far too long with the result that silly side issues were included i.e Billy keeping pics of Lucy and then writers trying to justify that red herring how they did. Finally I think the creation of that so called shortlist of suspects well out of order , in the knowledge that Bobby was the killer. I understand that he couldn't be included ,would be too obvious he was involved . Far better not to have had the list.

I was just repeating what was said in the episode I wasn't suggesting she died from a fall.

I think Emma thought it was Jane when she met her at new year.....

When and how did Emma realise Lucy was killed at home by her own jewellery box?

There is a lot of loss ends (DTC and the writers to address better imo) and I don't think Ian can tell Keeble and the police to drop the case

Lauren knows Lucy was killed at home so she must suspect one of Lucy's own family

Stacey knows Lauren knows, Mick now knows Ian knows, Abi and Max know Lauren knows something too about Lucy's death

My biggest fear is that they are just going to fudge over all this and no-one outside the Beales will mention Lucy's murder again. We'll see....

Mick's a very different person to who he was when Lucy was murdered. Something big has happened (or will happen shortly) with Dean, Linda's pregnant (possibly with Dean's baby), he's just getting used to Shirley being his mum and Stan's dying. I think his priorities are different nowadays but that doesn't mean he won't ask Ian about it at some point. Ian'd better have an excuse prepared.

I like your idea of Denise being on the case.

Yeah the Billy thing was nonsense and out of character.

To be fair to DTC he did say in at least one interview that viewers would be misled. He even used the word "gimmick", so we were warned that we'd be deceived. You're not the only one who's miffed about it though Glen - some people have even made official complaints to the BBC and Ofcom!!

When and how did Emma realise Lucy was killed at home by her own jewellery box?

It was explained during Friday's live episode how Emma knew Lucy was killed at home (though I still think it unlikely that nice but dim Emma would have put all the pieces together lol), and it seems likely that Bobby left the music box under the Christmas tree (I've no idea why) so Emma probably didn't know anything about that.

...and I don't think Ian can tell Keeble and the police to drop the case

Ian would be silly to do that as it'd immediately make them suspicious of him.

My biggest fear is that they are just going to fudge over all this and no-one outside the Beales will mention Lucy's murder again. We'll see....

I'm glad to see from Tammy's spoiler that this isn't going to happen, but there's no doubt the case will die a death sooner or later.

Emma is suppose to have guessed Lucy was killed at home from Patrick's fall, how is that exactly?
