Albert Square is in for a shock, as a resident is charged with the murder of Lucy Beale.
Digital Spy reports that the suspect’s friends and family struggle to come to terms with the news, with one person resorting to drastic measures to protect their family.
Viewers already know that the murderer is Lucy’s little brother, 11-year-old Bobby Beale, after the reveal in the 30th anniversary episodes in February.
But Walford residents are still trying to figure out the mystery.
On July 24, Max Branning (Jake Wood) was taken into custody after his daughter Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) gave a statement, putting him in the frame.
Cops believe that Max, who had an affair with Lucy, may have had something to do with her murder last April.
But Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) is also under suspicion, and DCI Jill Marsden (Sophie Stanton) is still convinced that he is the culprit behind Lucy’s death.
Who will be charged with Lucy’s murder?
The EastEnders episode airs tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
