Realistically, who from outside Albert Square would go to Lucy's funeral?

EastEnders isn't known for its track record of realism when it comes to family reunions. Whenever it comes to weddings and funerals, the classic "ill/in work/on holiday" excuse is wheeled out for everyone who realistically should attend but never does for whatever reason related to the actor. Usually this is a case of an actor who only left recently and doesn't want to retread their steps, an actor who has faded into obscurity and probably couldn't be traced, or an actor who point blank said no.

So, imagine money and tracing actors was no object, and no one would turn you down. Who would you bring back for Lucy's funeral?

Cindy her Mum. But she'd have to come out of witness protection first.

Possiblky Mary since the Irish lot were mentioned today - fairly sure she used to babysit her a lot. Also, Joe Wicks is her cousin and knew her as a child, Sarah and Tony Hills are also related through Kathy, Mel Owen was very fond of her.

None of these people will return but as members of her not that extended family they probably would if it were real life.

Did the Beales have some relatives they used to visit in Lee on Sea? Maybe they'd come.

A lot of possible attendees were very minor characters in the 80s and 90s from a quick read of Wikipedia - they could probably get away with recasting them.

Dr Legg, he will have known the Beale's for years, and would still be in touch with Dot.

All the friends she made when she was living in Devon. She was always going on about her time there.

Stephen Beale - her brother
Christian Clarke - her step-uncle (whom she was very fond of)
Beverly Williams - her grandmother
Gina Williams - her aunt
Martin Fowler - her cousin
Michelle Fowler - her cousin
Ben Mitchell - her uncle

That's it for now as I'm sure the rest (of her off-screen family) are all pretty much deceased themselves..

They met them on holiday in Clacton on Sea and have been close ever since.
