I'm still recovering from the fabulous New Years Day episode, and the guys and girls at 'Enders have decided to throw yet more excitement our way!
EastEnders have now revealed that they're set to welcome back a few old characters in what's set to be the 'pearl' in their anniversary week episodes.
The special ep will be a flashback to Good Friday and will reveal what happened to Lucy on the night she was killed and why - filling in the many blanks we all have!
Hetti Bywater, who played Lucy, Jamie Lomas, who was Jake Stone and Tanya Franks, who plays Rainie Cross are all returning to their roles so that every aspect of Good Friday night are shown.
As we already know, Rainie was paid by Lucy's dad, Ian Beale, for sex that night - after an almighty row with his daughter. Jake Stone, who Lucy's best mate Lauren Branning had a fling with, after meeting at an alcohol counselling meeting, also shared a taxi with Lucy on the night she was killed.
Speaking of her return as Lucy, Hetti Bywater said: "It's great to be part of the conclusion and find out what really happened the night Lucy Beale died."

Tanya Franks added: "It's fab to be back celebrating the 30th anniversary of EastEnders. Where have the last three decades gone?! So, if you want to find out if Rainie was really with Ian Beale on the night Lucy Beale died, then all will be revealed!"
The episode will be written by Jesse O'Mahoney, who was also responsible for last year's Good Friday ep, which saw Lucy's lifeless body left on Walford Common after she walked off into the night...
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins explained:
"When we first created the 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' storyline, we knew that we had to flash back to the night that she died on screen. So much happened on Good Friday 2014 after viewers saw Lucy leave her home and walk off into the night – and this flashback episode will fill in the pieces for the rest of that night, before she was killed. This also gives us the opportunity to have some fun with other characters, with new twists appearing in old storylines as secrets from the year before are revealed. With the added live element for some scenes, this is going to be an extremely special episode and the pearl within our week of celebratory episodes for EastEnders' 30th birthday."
Because the episode will be broadcast during Anniversary Week, which will also see Peggy Mitchell return, some aspects will be pre-recorded, and others will be live - with a main live whole episode also being aired during that week, which I'm presuming will included the reveal of Lucy's murderer.
