EASTENDERS - Looking ahead to LIVE...

In just over a month's time, EastEnders will be taking us on a week long Live spectacular, so I thought I'd round up a couple of things we have to look forward to, along with some speculation rumours on what we can all expect.

Lucy reveal:

As we all know too well, Lucy Beale's killer will be revealed on the full Live episode on Thursday 19th February.

I thought that I'd start with the Lucy plot as it's the one that everyone's waiting for. The 19th will also be Jane and Ian's wedding day, and with the two of them also being in the group of remaining suspects - could the confession come from one of them, or will a guest ruin the Wedding party atmosphere?
Of course, just because the killer is revealed, it doesn't mean other characters in the show will find out - it might just be a case that we find out as a viewer.
I'm still at a loss at who's guilty and everyone I speak to has a different theory and not one is picking the same person as the culprit.
Time will tell!

Favorite returnees:

Peggy Mitchell is coming home - yay! And some have speculated that it will be for Ronnie's FUNERAL? Now, personally, I doubt they would bring the amazing New Year's Day episode all this way, just to kill Ronnie off while she lay in a coma. She's gonna survive - she's got to!
Also announced this weekend is the return of Jo Joyner as Tanya Branning, for Live Week, as Tan is coming home for her best pal, Jane's, wedding. Tanya is another of my favorite characters, and Jo is one of my pick of the best actresses out there, so her come back is most welcomed by me.

I have a theory here, too. I was swaying towards Abi as Lucy's killer, but I'm now wondering if it's all too obvious right now. Something happened between Abi and Lucy on the night she died, and Max knows (and was maybe involved in helping his daughter keep schtum). It's also something that they don't want the police to know, as it could make Abi look guilty (or guiltier!). Abi will confess to her mum about what she and Max have been hiding - but Tanya will also be the person confessed to by Lucy's murderer. Jane? That's one of my newest theories, anyway!

Dot's a killer mum:

Moving on from Lucy - it's also been speculated this weekend that Dot will have enough of her son, Nick, once and for all. She is said to kill him after finally becoming tired of his abusive behavior.

Will Dot really kill her own son?

The Anniversary Week is said to be kicking off with a new storyline that will see Dot standing trial for murdering Nick and will include many twists before all the facts surrounding Nick's death come to light.
We know that Nick is the one responsible for the New Year crash which has left Ronnie fighting for life, Emma Summerhayes dead and Phil Mitchell banged up for murder and attempted murder. If the storyline is true, that may just rule out a Beale being Lucy's murderer, as that would mean Walford is the home of two people who have each killed a family member. (Again, just another of my many theores!)
Each time Nick returns home to his 'Ma', it leaves me wondering what he'll do next, so will EastEnders really get rid if their ultimate Nasty once and for all?
An EastEnders spokesperson is said to have refused to comment, which may mean it's truer than it is false.
All I know is that:
1. Dot wouldn't outright kill anyone, especially not her Nick, so these said twists may prove her innocence. And...
2. With the speculation about a Beale killing Lucy and Dot killing her son - you would never see a Mitchell harming one of their own. Unless you're Grant, pushing your brother into a garage pit hole!

Lots of Lives:

With the full live episode and the live scenes in each ep that week, it really will be a soap spectacular, not to be missed! The actors have already received their Live Week scripts, as Maddy Hill, who plays Nancy Carter has said that she has 'quite a bit' in the live show, with the promise that there's a big plot ahead for her in the lead up.

I'm sure over the coming weeks, there will be more revealed about what's going to occur, and whether there are going to be anymore exciting returnees.

What are you most looking forward to about Live week?
