Explosive new EastEnders plot revealed as Who Killed Lucy Beale? storyline takes savage new twist
TENSIONS run high for the Beale family as killer Bobby visits step-sister Lucy’s grave in EastEnders.
Bobby (Clay Milner Russell) goes to lay flowers at her headstone in upcoming scenes in the BBC One soap, a decade after he killed her.
But his dad Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and step-mum Cindy (Michelle Collins) turn up — with the latter lashing out in temper.
Bobby is sent flying head first into a gravestone.
In a rage in 2014, Bobby hit Lucy (Hetti Bywater) over the head with a jewellery box.
The crime was initially covered up by Ian’s former wife Jane (Laurie Brett) but Bobby was later jailed.
Only time will tell what the graveside altercation will mean for Bobby’s blossoming romance with Cindy’s daughter Anna Knight (Molly Rainford).
A soap insider said: “It’s clear that hidden tensions are set to be uncovered in a fight between Cindy and Bobby.
“And though Ian and Cindy leave the incident together, it could spell trouble between them – as well as for Cindy’s daughter Anna, and the wider Beale family.
“It’s the perfect storyline to be revisiting as the soap gears up for its 40th anniversary celebrations next year.”
Bad sign For Alan bullies
Alan Carr faces up to his childhood bullies in the new series of ITV comedy drama Changing Ends.
But it’s not just on screen that he’s had the chance to get his own back.
The comedian, who is played by Ollie Savell in the show, admitted that he has since come face to face with some of his old school enemies, who have turned up to book signings as fans.
He revealed: “When I did my autobiography, I did a signing in a local store.
“A couple of the bullies were there and asked if I could sign their book.
“I don’t think the bullies realised they had an effect on me.
“They are there like, ‘Oh, remember me?’ and I’m like, ‘Yes, how do you spell t**t?’ ”
The second series makes its debut on Saturday with two episodes, starting from 9pm.

Carr KOs job on The Box
Jimmy Carr was more than happy to sign up for new UKTV game show Battle In The Box – provided he wasn’t the one doing the battling.
The comic feared he was being picked to compete in the series, which sees celebs confined to an increasingly cramped container if they fail mind-boggling challenges.
So he was glad to learn he was being scouted as host.
The show is based on a Korean format and launches next Tuesday.
Jimmy told The Sun’s TV mag, free with the paper on Saturday: “When I was offered the show, I initially said, ‘No, that sounds like a nightmare’.
“But it turned out that they wanted me to host. I said, ‘Of course I’ll host.
“I’m just not going in there. I’m not an idiot!’ ”
Rogue cops doc
Channel 4’s real-life Line Of Duty-style documentary series is to return.
Bosses are in talks for a further two series of To Catch A Copper after the success of the first three-part run in February.
The show follows the policing teams who investigate officers’ misconduct.
Its first season looked at mental health, race and sexual misconduct.
The new series will focus on the exploitation of vulnerable members of the public, corruption, and the use of excessive force.
C4 has also confirmed a second series of The Jury: Murder Retrial.

It’s Trait to No1
The new podcast from The Traitors stars Harry Clarke and Paul Gorton has gone straight to the top of the comedy charts.
Their funny look back at the “scarcely believable crimes that have hilariously gone wrong” is, appropriately enough, called Devious.
Paul and Harry – who both starred as traitors in this year’s series of the smash hit BBC One guessing game – look at everything from botched art heists to ridiculous robberies in the 30-minute helpings of high jinks.
They even beat podcasts from seasoned comedians including Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe and Harry Hill.
