EASTENDERS - Changing persons!

By changing persons - I should mean personalities.

We've learnt quite a lot in the two EastEnders episodes so far this week, and some revolve around 'Who killed Lucy Beale' themes while others are things we probably shouldn't care about, but have noticed anyway.

Firstly - as the 'changing persons' theme runs around Patrick Truman - can I just add my congratulations to how fabulous Rudolph Walker's acting has been this week. He played out having Patrick's stroke beautifully heartbreaking and must have touched everyone watching. It actually just went to show just how underused Rudolph has been of late on the show.

Rudoplh Walker made a moving performance as Patrick

Patrick, as we know, found out all about Ian's rendezvous (it's the politest way I could describe it!) with Rainie. This is the first 'changing person.'

Ian showed a glimmer of Phil Mitchell in him, as he shoved Rainie against a wall and threatened her, quite menacingly (for Ian Beale's standards) and it looked as though EastEnders' resident prostitute was quite shaken up.

This could be an important clue towards Lucy's murder. We've never seen Ian lose it quite like that before (remember, this is the man who's been scared of a whole heap of both men and women for the entire time we've known him onscreen!)

So, could Ian have gotten so raged with his daughter on the night she died that he accidentally killed her?

My money (despite me telling all and sundry that I wasn't going to guess until the end of the year!) is that Peter should be the number one suspect so far. I don't know why. It's just the incline I'm getting.

The second 'changing person' was the shock return of Anthony Truman. He had the same face (in fact, he hasn't aged one bit!) but the way he callously left his fad, chucking money at poor Denise, as 'help' to care for his was not in character of the kind doctor we once knew.
Anthony's scenes with Kat also cringed me out a little. It was as though they were still having a secret love affair. I just found it very uncomfortable viewing and not endearing in the slightest.

Anthony looked heartless as he left his dad

Patrick's recovery, we've been told, will be a very slow process. It's horrid to watch him struggle - trying to tell Denise the truth about Ian - who's thrilled, deep down, that Patrick has lost the ability to speak, as it keeps his secret. For now...

There were also rumours yesterday that last week's episode of Lucy's phone and purse being dumped has been taken off BBC iPlayer, as it showed (apparently) the so-called murderer.

An avid viewer has revealed the face in the phone reflection to be JAY...

Now, call me cynical, but I don't think the Enders' bosses would be so slap-dash that they'd make such a silly mistake. If anyone was filmed dumping the phone and purse, it would, surely, be a runner... and not one of the actors - as even they don't know the culprit.

Have your opinions on Who Killed Lucy changed?

And what do you think of Patrick's storyline?
