Dean sexually assaulted Linda in 2014 was last seen in 2016 after being arrested for the attempted rape of Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons). Shona, who has played the character since she was 16 years old, made the decision to leave EastEndersto "spread her wings." Cindy's return has provided us with a whole new dimension to the 'Who Killed Lucy?' plot, given that it ultimately acted as the catalyst as to why she left the Knight family in the first place.
EastEnderslegend Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) returned to Walford after four years with her granddaughter Peggy Taylor in tow. In 1992, after serving a short stretch in prison, Wilmott-Brown returned to the square, refusing to accept that Kathy wanted nothing to do with him. In five years’ time, Ian Beale might just be a soft-edged dad again, alarmed to discover he has a sixth or seventh lovechild, a full-grown adult who has never texted him once before today who then turns up fully formed to shout at him in a launderette. Or: after a series of dodgy dealings, with Phil holding the keys and waving at him from the shore, Ian Beale pounds on the windows as his Escort bubbles to the bottom of the Thames. Hard to ever tell. It is out of our control. Desperate for her daughter to escape Nish's controlling ways, Suki made sure that she took the job by goading her and telling her that she wouldn't be able to cope. She knew that Ash would want to prove her wrong and go against her mother's words, so accepted the offer. Lisa's lies soon began to unravel as it was revealed that she had been lying about Louise and was using Keanu's money to fund a gambling addiction. Not only that, but she had also taken Peggy without Louise's permission.Another factor that leads us to think that Ian may be dead is the blood on Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) wedding dress during the flash forward scene. There's been some issues though with the funds for the business, with Cindy believing George owed her money after selling their Marbella bar. With the money seemingly sorted, Ian is on the hunt for a venue and believes he has found the perfect location to secure his and Cindy's future.
Finlay threatened to go to the police and after discovering that Eve was the intended target, he set out to tell her everything. Well, Sharon’s trailer is another one to include a bouquet of flowers, but these ones are not pink tulips. The fact that they are white roses instead suggests to us that they symbolise that the person she is marrying, who at this point appears to be Keanu, is unrelated to the crime. Stacey’s trailer With Ian and Sharon having been best friends for nearly 40 years, with the odd blip that we won’t mention, he would certainly fall into this category. In a surprise twist that EastEnders has never done before, the episode flash forwarded to Christmas 2023 where a wedding was taking place at the Vic. It was soon revealed that Sharon was the bride as she was wearing a blood splattered wedding dress. The 'Who Killed Lucy?' plot is unquestionably one of EastEnders' most memorable stories of recent times, but who would have thought the writers would be adding more layers to it nine years later?

EastEnders fans will know that Kathy has experienced a lot of trauma in her life, one such occasion being when she was raped by James Wilmott-Brown in 1988. With all this in mind, it makes the fact that Kathy is holding a knife in her trailer incredibly important. Could she be set to finally find the courage to use it?
Finlay demanded money from Suki in exchange for leaving the Square and threatened to expose their secret to Eve. A spooked Suki gave in to his demands and handed over the cash.Emma made a brief appearance at Lola's emotional funeral and swiftly left the church before anyone could see her. The doctor first arrived in Walford in 2019 and had been at the forefront of many storylines, mostly involving her troubled family, her sexuality and her difficult relationship with her mother, Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal). However, she later revealed that he had left her feeling so scared that she had just frozen, meaning that she couldn’t bring herself to actually use the weapon against him.
A source told the publication regarding Shona's departure: “It wasn’t an easy decision for Shona to make and she is gutted to be walking away from her soap family, especially as she has grown up on set with most of them. She’ll be sorely missed by the cast. After overhearing at the Vic that Eve would be driving Finlay's sports car to Brighton, Vinny broke into the garage and cut the brakes. Since their arrival, the mother and daughter have moved into the Panesar household, with Priya already at loggerheads with fiery matriarch Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).The main thing about Kathy’s trailer that stands out is that she is holding what could be the murder weapon. Obviously, this in itself is important, as she is the only person out of the five trailers so far that has been seen with a weapon. Given the twisted villain's lying past, it's possible that he may be lying about Shirley's current situation.
