If the Who killed Lucy Beale? storyline doesnt end with a jaw-droppingly spectacular finale, Im never watching EastEnders again.
Id never been a devout EastEnders fan; I watched Tiffany meet her untimely end, Janine push Barry off a cliff, Phil Mitchell get shot (the first time) and I knew there was a pretty horrid baby swap not so long ago. Basically, I was aware of the long-running characters and some of the bigger plots but, on the whole, my knowledge of Walford and its inhabitants was relatively limited – until the Lucy Beale murder case came along…
Id heard it was going to be a massive plot line so I decided to get involved. I didnt even recognise Lucy, who was still alive and well when I first tuned in, but she seemed a pretty disposable character and I was perfectly OK with her demise back in April 2014.

But then came Adam Woodyatts compelling grieving-father act. Ian’s grief-stricken scenes, coupled with Peters acute handsomeness and some stellar performances from multiple members of the Branning and Mitchell families and the welcome addition of the Carters, Ive gradually become emotionally invested in this unlucky lot.
Fast forward to the present day and that dastardly murderer has been on the loose for far, far too long. And now poor DC Emma Summerhayes has popped her clogs, Im losing interest. Fast.
I cant believe we have to wait another SIX weeks before those final 14 suspects are whittled down and the killer is finally revealed. And if theres not some huge, gritty, shocking twist Im going to deeply regret investing all that time and concentration on this never-ending plot and all of its ten million, billion participants.
