The Unmaking of Lucy Beale – EastEnders Special
Yes, I am afraid, I surrendered. I watched Eastenders after a hiatus of 3 years. I made a decision three years ago not to watch EastEnders anymore as it was making me uncomfortable with all the nasty shenanigans and wheeling and dealing of horrible characters. I know it was not for real, it was only a tv soap but it did get me down!
Anyway, lately there was such a buzz regarding one of the show’s major character’s demise. I sort of saw the character ‘grow up’ (though several actresses had played the role over the years). I was, therefore, suitably intrigued with all the hoopla about the murder of Lucy Beal.
It seemed I was not the only one. William Hill, the betting shop, had to close the wagers that was started to guess the killer of Lucy Beale as they were inundated with so much bets, so many risk takers, more than what William Hill can handle! LOL I wonder who was the final winner and how much was won?!!!
Lucy Beale was killed last year and it took a long time to give her the closure she deserved. Everyone, every character in the soap was shown as the potential murderer and my goodness, they milked every scenario, every story line for all its worth.
EastEnders is a long running UK television soap which is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The Lucy Beale murder closure was the pinnacle, the highlight for the anniversary. And as a special treat to fans, followers and licence payers, Eastenders was shown as a ‘live’ action. For me this was not really a treat as most of the scenes were so stilted and the acting so wooden, you can use the actors to fence off the studio. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Many of the scenes were so dull and could have been easily written out completely.
The ending was tense and really unexpected and sorry to say a bit of a cop-out. Probably, they didn’t want any of their leading actors to go so they used the story line that Lucy’s youngest brother, Bobby, killed her.
The final outcome will be shown tomorrow. Probably Lucy will not going to be laid to rest just yet. Perhaps Ian will be blaming Jane for the murder and Jane would willingly go to prison as she adores Bobby and will do anything for him including cover for him……
