Has it happened yet or is it due to happen when the killer is revealed? I can't see how anything has changed as of yet. Lucy is dead but life (and other storylines) go on.
With that in mind, if indeed Walford will change forever when the killer is revealed, then that narrows down the list of suspects significantly. There aren't that many characters who would change the show forever by killing Lucy Beale. It has to be a Mitchell or a Beale who killed her in order for Walford to change forever.

Nit picking here, but if only 4 people know who the killer is then unless you're one of those 4 people and you know this for a fact then tweeting the hashtag #WalfordWillChangeForever is more than a bit disingenuous.

There's only so many times I can read her tirelessly repeating the same crap about "Millennial's" "The. Worst. Actress. Ever. To. Appear. In. EastEnders." [Insert some joke about DTC being compared to Jesus].
Jeez, broaden your horizons.
The Ronnie theory is a great one. I could see it being her. And she's a Mitchell....
I'm also not engaged with the story so far. I'm still in the dark over what it is I'm supposed to be blown away by. Peter and Lauren? Ian cheating and crying? The waste of time red herrings like Max and Jake? I'm hoping DTC fires a rocket up this storyline's backside soon.
I fear that may be me in 5 years if I don't get out more.
Please don't turn this thread into an attack against anyone. I created it to discuss if and when Walford will change forever.
I love that theory. The most interesting thing for me so far in this has been Denise. The rest of it not so much.
I think it has changed for numerous reasons. I think even the intensity of the episodes has changed. You are constantly aware that their is a grieving family in the corner. Even small stories have a link back to the grief of the Beales.
I agree. Denise has been the best part of the storyline so far. I feel more sympathy for her than I do for anyone else.
I do. Even more than Ian and Peter which surprises me.
I see that but it's to be expected when a character dies. It's been depicted many times before and hasn't changed Walford forever. I can't imagine Walford will still be grieving the death of Lucy Beale 2 years from now. To make a statement like "Walford Will Change Forever" it has to be transformed in some way that can never be reversed. With the exception of those close to Lucy I can't see how her death will change Walford forever. That's why I'm thinking the killer is a Mitchell or a Beale.
Ian has cheated on Denise and their days are numbered.
Max and Lucy's affair is about to be exposed...this will probably destroy his family.
Peter has grown cold towards Lola and is growing closer to Lauren
Jane has dumped Masood and taken Bobby
Cindy has left after being thrown out by Ian (taking TJ's sprog with her)
? There's a drug dealer in the square
I expect there's plenty more to come
A Watts? Sharon couldn't face Ian and they always do hatchet jobs on the icons.
That's the problem. There is quite a fair few fans myself included, that don't like or care about this generation of the Beale family. So I'm afraid I'm not being 'move'd by this storyline.
I would go as far as saying Diederick Santer is a better EP than Dominic Treadwell-Collins. While DS was mediocre at best, at least he didn't put all his eggs in one basket like DTC seems to be doing with this Lucy storyline.
Do you really think any of those things will change Walford, the fictional setting of EastEnders, forever?
The Beales have been changed forever but Walford remains the same.
You sound like you are surprised. I have given up all hope on Sharon returning to her best
I am actually really disappointed with this year so far. How many times can they churn out mediocrity on regular basis with adding in sensationalism on the side every now and then?
I always read it as things would change for the people of Walford.
So far the Beales, Cindy, Jane, Masood, the Brannings, TJ, Lola...
I'm hanging on. (Lol, that sounds dramatic). I liked the Albert scenes, the hints about Sharon s revenge, Dot/Nick stuff, Ronnie going mad, some of the Carter stuff, Shabnam, so will wait and see. Sometimes it is really good. Other times I feel like I'm being taken for a mug.
It's not changed Walford forever. Sure Lucy might be more important than most characters due to her links to Ian and her history on the show, but her death really hasn't been any more impacful on the Square than Archie or Den's deaths (who were both bigger and better characters than Lucy), actually I'd say it has had less impact than their deaths. Even after the killer is eventually revealed, I don't see how her death will change Walford forever (unless it is a huge, long-term character like Phil but I doubt they would go down that route).
Like all murders/deaths on soaps, people whisper about it for a few weeks and then everything will go back to normal once everyone realises how useless the police are in finding the culprit
To be fair though, I think TPTB know that as it's very rare for a storyline to "change Walford forever", but they wanted to hype up the storyline to get as many viewers watching. So a tagline like that will get people talking.
All those things are normal grist for the mill in soap land and would happen without the murder. I am expecting something major. I guess it's early days yet.
Yes, it's a huge statement to live up to. I remember the Den murder year and I recall it being really exciting the way it involved all the big characters in the square. I'm expecting this to be the same.
I'm not attacking anyone.
I'm critiquing an assessment of EE.
True, I hope it does live up to the hype.
