First I'd just like to say hi, this is my first post and thread on this forum, and I'll be really happy to meet you all

But on the topic at hand, anyone else think that the voicemail messages that played out in Lucy's death scene are more significant than we think?

All three can be heard on the EE site, but considering that DTC has given a lot of attention to detail with this storyline that surely something as important as the actual death scene would contain a clue or two?

I also wonder why they chose to do this. But a theory which ties in with some other members of this forum's theories is that someone killed her by accident, but didn't think that she was dead, only unconscious and that she would wake up eventually.

I think this links with Cindy's voicemail which said something like "Are you coming back tonight? Please don't be mad." Most people assumed that this was because of Cindy exposing her for the cocaine but did Lucy actually know it was Cindy who told Ian, and not just Ian looking through her things? Maybe Cindy attacked her but didn't want Lucy to be mad at her for the attack, hence the voicemail.

I don't know, just a theory. I have a tendency to go on a bit so sorry for the paragraph!

Welcome Vatican. That's a good point and well thought out. Also ties in with dullag's Cindy theory.

Welcome to our soap faaaaamily Vatican! I agree the voicemails could be a clue as to the mystery surrounding Lucy's death, who do you think killed her?

It looks that way as it is a family tragedy and Mimi can carry it off

Oooh, what's DJ's Cindy theory? I've always thought it was Peter, but now I think Rainie is involved.

Welcome, Vatican! Good point about the voicemails.

Hi Vatican, welcome to the nut house! Its a lot of fun, Enjoy!

I don't really like speculating because I like to see it as it happens!

I agree with your theory and I also think if Cindy is the killer, then it's a clever device having her off screen so much - nobody on the Square seems to be tormented by something apart from within the Beale family. She's off screen so we don't see her torment and guilt over the "murder".

I'd like to know when Ian left his message when he's supposed to have been with Rainie the entire night.

Welcome to DS soap forum

Good points, another member dullagj has a good theory about Cindy being the murderer.

I'm still on the fence, I think it's someone related to her as DTC said something about it being heartbreaking once revealed and make sense, we still have the issue of whether the person who killed her actually are aware they did it, she died of head injury and we don't know if it was a delayed one.

It being Cindy would bring a big moral issue for both Ian and Peter, she young, related and just about to become a mother as much as they would want justice for Lucy would they do it at the expense of Cindy going to prison and ruining her life before it's even begun.

Thanks for all of your welcomes, its greatly appreciated

And I also think that the storyline could revolve around Lucy not really being a Beale at all. Is it possible that twins can have two separate fathers or is my thinking too contrived

Twins actually can have two different dad's but it is so rare.

I think Cindy would be a good choice for the killer, those voicemails are defaintly some sort of clue.

However I think Jane could be involved as she too has been off screen so we haven't seen too much guilt on her part. It'll be interesting to see how she returns.

I think Cindy is a good shout. In a storyline running for 10 months, it makes sense to take the culprit out of the limelight for a good few weeks. Lots a lot easier for them to paint her as full of remorse if we don't see her acting like nothing ever happened.

Also it's quite sad if the girl about to give birth to Lucy's niece (half-niece?!) accidently killed her. Continuing the bloodline of the girl you killed would be a bitter pill to take! Is that why she's been so adamant that she wants the baby, in order to 'right her wrongs?'

First reasonable theory I've heard in weeks. I hope there something else that happened with Cindy that night and that's what she could have been referring to, because I'm not too comfortable with the idea that Cindy would have had a hand in Lucy's death.

To the viewers, Cindy doesn't actually have an alibi either. She claimed she was at the restaurant with Ian, but obviously Ian was with Rainie which makes it only Cindy's word.


Thanks for your feedback! Why would you be against Cindy as the killer?

Because I really like her character and I'd hate to look at her and see a murderer like I'll have to do with Stacey indefinitely.

Ian's voicemail was interesting. It sounds like he gets cut off at the end with a weird noise..

Ian message was: Im sorry. Sorry FOR WHAT??!
