    I dreamt last night that Lucy wasn't actually dead. Imagine that! She just turns up: "hiya! What did I miss?"

    The number being Tanya's is the only one that makes sense to me.

    Emma would already likely have access to phone numbers of everyone already on the square, especially the Beales. And unless it was someone close to Lauren why would she be hesitant to reveal it to the police?

    The list of people who Lauren cares about who Emma is unlikely to have the number of and therefore a surprise to discover that not only does she but it's on a piece of paper where she's suspecting the murderer - is Tanya

    It cannot be the number for Ian, Peter, Jane, Max, Abi or Lauren as they all live in two houses which Emma would presumably know the number of off by heart without need to write it down.

    The number being Cora's a possibility too, but even that might still tie in to Tanya just not in a way we suspect.

    Interesting quotes from DTC interview on BBC this morning
    Restated that the suspect list has been narrowed to 11.

    Said we would find out who killed Lucy at the end of the flashback episode and why they did it in the Friday episode.

    Suggests that it wasn't an accident.

    I don't think that's much of a spoiler.

    11?

    Ian, Jane, Peter, Cindy, Max, Lauren, Abi, Tanya, Denise, Jay & Ben?

    I still think it is Abi, I have done since I watched all the alibi videos, just a gut feeling I got when I watched hers, ties in with idea of the number being Tanyas I just thought it was her that did it, after watching that video

    although I do think they could go with it being Jane, she is my 2nd suspect, I got suspicious after it was revealed the killer would be revealed on their wedding day

    Still think it is Abi though, with that being the reason Lauren cant marry Peter because her sister killed his sister

    Abi is my worst case scenario as I don't think the audience cares about her. She's some mardy teen whose done nothing for years other than be seen occasionally fretting about upcoming exams. It'd be a terrible decision to make her the killer as the character has absolutely no warmth or redeeming features.

    Just years of being stroppy, a bit immature and bitchy. I can't think of a character less relateable who has been there for a long period, than Abi. Such a wet-porridge character.

    The 11 has never been officially confirmed but we are assuming it's not Lauren, Les or Pam and so that leaves the 11 from the 14.

    BTW I'm assuming you mean Whitney and not Tanya. :)

    What are people's thoughts about Lola? Could she still be a contender? Or even Whitney? These two are rarely mentioned these days. Perhaps this is what DTC wants!

    The suspect list came about because of the camera shots showing people elsewhere during Emma's talk to the suspect. But, what if, just suspend your belief for a moment, the shots of people like Billy and Lola leaving their flat etc... were not necessarily taking place simultaneous to the killer conversation

    Don't forget opening the door. Perhaps she banged the door in Lucy's head and that's how she died.

    I think so. Something in the back of my mind, says it could be her. Reason being with the puzzle, saying LEE - STOP IT, Lee was looking thru the video, she was in background saying stop it 3 times, she also said in her alibi that she was at home all night. With regards to the music played at the NTA's i think thats her baby toy. Also when emma went to the park, they showed us billy and lola leaving, remember this was the first shot after emma was in the park, so i stil have an open mind about lola, i done bet £20 at 40/1 yesterday. On the other hand, Denise was my original character that killed her.

    If the show is genuinely giving us clues and not red herrings one could assume the killer is a Beale or a close member of the family. Top of my list is Cindy, she has been rather low key in all this and I'm not clear why she was even brought back unless it's for this storyline.

    It also paves the way for Cindy to be written out (would anyone care?) and Jane is left holding the baby.

    Ha, true.

    I discount Whitney as I think we've been led towards thinking she has a motive.


    The only suspect who people seriously consider who we've been given no-onscreen reason to doubt is Jane.

    Peter - drugs tie in, he's been seen to get violent when using them

    Ian - lied to police about where he was, still question marks about it

    Denise - showed dark side with Patrick abuse, struggles, has alcohol problems

    Whitney - Lucy bullied her, wrote 'Rot in hell' note that Tamwar found



    ....etc.

    Jane? What's Jane done that's out of step? Okay there's the providing Lauren with a false alibi but that ws a throw-away remark in the kitchen, you'd have to be paying ridiculously close attention to that (like be someone who discusses it obsessively on an internet forum for example :D) to even be aware that this is an anomaly.

    It's another reason why I think it's Jane because as yet if you follow the official episodic narrative there's so far no reason to believe that it is.

    If they are doing that kind of thing it would be very annoying.

    Cindy is at the top of my list but I doubt she would be written out, the Beales are already losing Peter I think they need to increase the family not get rid of more and Mimi is a great actress now she is getting older she will get more scenes.

    Cindy like Abi isn't really a central character which is why I discount her. Yes she's a member of the Beale family and she's given birth during an episode but even so I don't think the audience care for her enough to be give this storyline.

    I get why people think it's Lola and if she were in the final 11 suspects then I would be strongly tempted to back her. But she's not, so I don't think it can be her

    I agree. Pointless character, awful actress.
