Ok so the flash back episode answered all our questions so we as viewers know exactly what happened.
I honestly cant believe they've charged Max and I also cant believe that the Beales house has never EVER had a sweep of forensic investigators set upon it.
Max's version of events actually matches the forensic evidence that was found in Jakes flat, Abbey states that Max was only gone for a shot time so how and when do they think he had time to move Lucys body????
Evil Abbey also had an altercation with Lucy AFTER she had been to Jakes, so she knows he didn't kill her at Jakes.
One detail I can not understand is Denise actually holds vital information about Lucy on the night she died, so why has she never spoke about the fact she saw Lucy and that Lucy was actually in the Beale house near to the time of her estimated death. I wonder if this will ever be explored?
They are also missing the absolutely unbelievable fact that Lauren knows who killed Lucy and there is no way on earth she'd sit back and allow Max, her own father to be convicted of a murder he didn't commit.
I wonder if this is how Lauren will return?

This will definitely be brought up again [as I'm sure Abi's 'battering' of Lucy is next to be aired to the square], but Denise isn't gonna confess to this because, uhh, she hit her... For all we know she thinks maybe she caused that fatal head injury.
[Although that scene suffered from a bizarre cut of Denise lashing out at Lucy and then the next scene was Lucy sitting outside on the doorstep, IIRC]
You'd expect it to wouldn't you. She had multiple blows to the head and anyone of them could have lead to her death. Although it is Eastenders, they're not quite as thorough as the Silent Witness team but you'd have thought they could have asked for their help.
Then they have evidence that Ben mugged Lucy and he's released without charges.
Have they never done any forensic investigation in the house?! I thought they had!
I can't remember but did they ever question the Beales?
I'm also enjoying it despite the plot holes. They're no worse than the ones in all of EEs other stories.
Speak for yourself because I'm loving this storyline. They found blood on Max's shoe that turned out to be Lucy's & this is the evidence they have to go on, plus Abi said she saw him go into the flat with her, & this places Max in the frame as the police think he was the last person to see her alive, even though she had an altercation with Lucy afterwards, & I hope this is revealed eventually.
Only Lucy's bedroom. Not the house and not their cars.
Blimey! Tory Cuts! Shakes fist at Cameron.
The only other blow apart from Bobby's that I feel was strong enough to cause some form of internal brain injury was the fall in the car lot. On the whole, I remain convinced it was Bobby's blow that was solely responsible but I can see the multiple blows defence being used if Bobby is ever brought before court. I don't think he'll go to prison whatever happens, which would be a typically heartwarming EE ending.
The most jarring thing for me in the story so far has already been mentioned, and that is the lack of scrutiny placed on the Beales by the police throughout. Searching the victim's house would be right at the very top of my to-do list if I was an investigating officer. Ian and Lucy hadn't been getting on, so you immediately have a motive for Ian which would presumably go a long way to gaining permission for a warrant to search the house. Why aren't the police wondering why Peter has scarpered too? He had a job and a girlfriend on the Square and was seemingly happy, yet in the immediate aftermath of his dad's wedding, he leaves?
Even though we've now seen the whole night in question, in the lead up to the reveal I was still dead sure that Peter wanting to leave the square the day after [and again not long after] were dead ringers of his guilty part in Lucy's death.
I'm still not wholly convinced there wasn't something more to it [at some point in the plot].
But I guess it just means that as nice to look at as he is, Peter is just meant to be a big of a coward like his father.
This! Why haven't the police spoken to Denise? They knew she was living at the house at the time. I'm sure her stating Lucy was home would provide evidence in Max's case as he couldn't have killed her when he was seen with her?
Also, isn't Abi stating her belief of Max's guilt on the fact that she knows Max went back out to check if Lucy was okay AFTER the whole Jake incident.
Half will probably never be explained. Still wait to see why Billy was stealing the post
That's what I'm thinking. She'll hear what's happened and comeback to get him free and set the record straight.
Yes. Max went out again, which we saw near the end of the flashback episode.
I recall when the police arrived to inform Ian that she'd died the forensics did go all over the house, and even blocked off her bedroom (which had the jewellery box inside).
Why they never found a trace of blood or anything suspicious I don't know.
They don't know Lucy died at home so they assume she was killed at the common surely?
Nobody knows it was "around the time of her estimated death" because Lucy was found on the common the following morning after leaving the square.
There's even speculation now that there is going to be another twist and flashbacks will show stuff we didn't see bla bla bla.
Why on earth are they dragging it out for so long when we already know who killed her!
I am just hoping that poor Max doesn't go down for this. I hope Lauren comes back and saves him....
I'm pretty sure that in one of the videos on the website Keeble said that Lucy was found dumped on the common but had not been killed there. They know that she didn't die on the common.
Love the fact this story is back.
They have an approximate time of death. Keeble mentioned it when questioning Abi the other day.
Like?
Me, I'm a bit more of a stayer but even I am getting a little tired of this tawdry tale. I wish they'd put it out of its misery asap and let us get back to how EastEnders used to be!
Is there a link to the flashback episode? Watching it again may help me understand it more
They only searched Lucys bedroom
They know she wasn't killed on the common.
