Apparently nothing is set in stone ...............no one knows and it hasn't been decided yet.
What a brilliant ploy to keep the actors on their toes and make them keep their demands small if they want their contracts renewed
more to the point... who cares?
"There's going to be a lot of twists and turns in the storyline. We're going to use this storyline to find out a lot about every single character on the Square. We're also going to find out a lot more about Lucy after she's died.
"The story is going to run and run, but I think sometimes soap whodunits can be too intelligent and not come from the heart. The identity of the killer is known by myself and three other people on the team. When it's revealed, we don't want people to say, 'Oh that was clever, I never guessed that'. We want people to say, 'Oh, that makes sense, that's upsetting and it's very clever'. The story is very much based on truth."
I hope I'm wrong, but I always get a bad feeling when Soap writers start talking about how "clever" they are. We've been here before: remember the death of Ronnie's daughter, Danielle? Eastenders were very proud of that storyline, and even made a special "making of" progamme with loads of writers patting themselves on the back over how "clever" they'd been, As it turned out, the viewing public hated it: they considered it a huge mistake and it remains one of the most complained about Soap storylines ever...
