Week three: Who killed Archie, the results so far....

Nickie|12:00 UK time, Friday, 12 February 2010

*Updated on 18th Feb: The vote is now closed. Results coming soon. Keep airing your suspicions here or get on our Facebook and Twitter pages*

Greetings, super sleuths!

The investigation's heating up and Marsden reckons she's got the evidence that'll make it game over for Archie's killer

But while the DCI wastes her time sifting through forensics and trying to separate fact from fiction, you lot have been pointing the finger of blame at whomever you goshdarned like.

Oi Marsden, you should look at our random predictions and guesstimates, love. Go home, put your feet up. Stop hanging around the Vic, check out the results so far:



suspects.jpg

Only one week of voting left and our top 4 haven't moved. Bradley's still your top suspect (always the quiet ones...), but new entry Peggy Mitchell makes a surprise entry into the Top 5. Will she work her way up the suspect board by close of play next Thursday? You decide...

    how cud it b sam when the killer opened a safe with the stolen ring, when shes still banged up.

    The only safes im aware of is in R&R, the Vic and in Janines flat.



    Still say its Ryan. COME OOON! cant wait for friday's episode!!

  • Comment number 3.

    Looked like the box with all archies stuff in it. Could have been the car lot?

  • Comment number 4.

    TO BE HONEST WITH YA'S I THINK PERSONALLY ITS SHAWN SLATER HE LEFT A YEAR AGO AFTER BIG TEAR UP WITH ARCHIE AND WHERE ARCHIE SWAPPED SHAWN'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE.........AND ALSO ARCHIE RAPED STACEY AND OF COURSE SHAWN WILL PROTECT HE'S LITTLE SISTER AND ALSO REVENGE... SO THEREFORE MY FINAL AWNSER OF WHO KILLED ARCHIE MITCHEL IS ?........... SEAN SLATER!!!

  • Comment number 5.

    Yeah but if Sean Slater had gone intentionally for revenge, wouldnt he have prepared himself with a weapon (e.g. crowbar)rather than somehow knowing Archie wud b on the floor with the bust hanging over him?

  • Comment number 6.

    25% FOR (PHIL , DANNY , ROXY , BILLY)....... 50% ( JACK , LUCAS PAT ) ..... 75% ( STACEY , PEGGY , SAM , GRANT ) ...... 99% ( SEAN , RYAN , SHIRLEY )

  • Comment number 7.

    If you had watched the tv awards last month you would know that it was jack, thanks to the helpful hints by all the crew!

  • Comment number 8.

    Even the crew don't know who it is! Diederick, the Exec Producer, tells all here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/twentyfive/diederick2.shtml



  • Comment number 9.

    im 85% it's jack, although it could be phill because he had blood on his shirt and it wasn't from a nose bleed,



    i dont think it was peggy as she is'nt tall enough to pick it up the queen vic statue a conk him on the head,



    i think jack planted the ring in janines flat as he has a safe in the R&R and in his fruntroom fire place,



    but im still confused ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  • Comment number 10.

    I think its peggy who put the ring in someone's place to turn DCI towards someone.....not definitely ronnie and Phil since they were in vic....it might be peggy,jack and bradley who were outside and wearing black gloves....one of them should went to someone's place and put the ring....I think it is peggy since she told ronnie that DCI will not turn towards mitchells family hereafter......still it doesn't mean peggy is the killer....she might have got the ring somehow....may be she may have seen archie in blood,but just came out by taking divorce papers and ring without saving his life.......

  • Comment number 11.

    I think it could be Grant, because he always pops up out of now were and would always help his mum and family.

  • Comment number 12.

    Ryan get my vote

  • Comment number 13.

    I know who did it lol.!



    well i dont really but i have my opinion.



    i thinkk Becca did it.



    well, c`mon in eastenders its always the person you least expected.



    you all saying its Ben, Beggy, Sam, Ronnie, Max or Bradley !!



    well all of them are now options we think about so it wont be them HELLO its eastenders !!



    though if you have been watching Stacey`s story closely , she had her crazy friend Becca who she tells everything to her, and Becca wants to help Stacey so she kills Archie cause she knew he raped her only friend Stacey.!



    she kills him and appear the next day, she also appear to listen to everything and watch everything and she is a LEAST EXPECTED.



    if it wasnt Becca i will be disappointed cause i spent about half an hour thinking about who really killed Archie, i give my vote to Sam not based in any facts but just because i dont like her.



    Emma

  • Comment number 14.

    For those are sayin Pat, why the hell wud she kill Archie. OK, she may have hated him but thts not a big enough motive to go and just murder him!



    Defo Ryaaan!

  • Comment number 15.

    I think the killer was sean

    i no it seems a bit out there but eastenders is full of suprises!!

  • Comment number 16.

    I don't think it could have been becca because, Archie died on christmas day and becca wasn't there.

  • Comment number 17.

    Nahh jack gets shot him self and it say ronnie is thinking of leaving ..... bradley my main suspect because he leaves the show this week wether its because he gets sent down for archies murder or finding out staceys baby is actually ryans who nos until tonight eh :) x

  • Comment number 18.

    i think it cud be becca swanson(staceys friend) or possibly sean slater?cant wait till 2morro! :D

  • Comment number 19.

    I can imagine Bradley will get sent down for murder although it really Ryan. Ryan will get with Stacey and bring up the baby and its his thought Bradders is banged up.

  • Comment number 20.

    think about it, ben and peggy are too small to reach the queen vic bust. I reckon it was chrissy watts. She could have escaped prision and planted the ultimate blow. (: Or it could be Tracy, shes never been a big fan of Janine or Archie for that matter. But how come the killer had a key to Janines flat to place the ring in her teapot? Hmmm...

    But, my final prediction goes to Ryan! And he wants to frame Janine for some perculiar reason..

  • Comment number 21.

    in reply to pilky there is also a safe in the vic upstairs in the living room. i have two candidates ben and minty as he is hiding sam somewhere .

  • Comment number 22.

    Hi.. I Like To Say Is That Bradley Kills His Self Tomorrow i Think.. So Hes Left.. Cat And Alfie Are Coming Back To Eastenders . And Finally I Think Sean & Becca Staceys Mate Could Of not Killed Archie As She Was Not in Walford Then She Was Still In Mental Hospital....

  • Comment number 23.

    i think Janine killed Archie because he did kick her out on chirstmas eve in her underwear andi i think she killed him because she was so fad up of him being so evil.

  • Comment number 24.

    i think it could of been tracy (the woman who works behind the bar) because she has had more envolvment in the past week and she did leave a note on christmas day saying gone fishing

  • Comment number 25.

    its not ryan he were at bianca`s house when it happend its not sean becca or grant deffo i reckon its between jack and stacey maybe ronnie

  • Comment number 26.

    Bradley kills himself tomorrow so that's not him leaving to get sent down.. I still think it's Sean but in the back of my mind is Ben and Phil saw him do it.. Which is why he had the blood on his shirt as he is covering for his son!... I just don't know !!.. I am excited for tomorrow though! :D

  • Comment number 27.

    People want it to be Sean but some how that is unrealistic. Jack or Peggy would be my ideal candidates. I think it would be cheap option to say Bradley killed archie

  • Comment number 28.

    I think it has to be RONNIE, PEGGY or JACK in that order.



    The secret is to link the scenes to the words of "Once in Royal David's City", which starts when Janine was in the car lot and carries on until Roxy enters the Vic. It can be heard continously across scenes, except for about 3 lines while Archie is hit.



    RONNIE appears over the body with blood on her hands maximum 20 secs after Archie went down. That doesn't give much time for the killer to leave and Ronnie to enter. Maybe she didn't mean to kill him, only punish him.



    PEGGY could have done it, but there is a clue. The ring is next to the snow globe in Peggy's last scene with Archie. It is gone in the next scene with Bradley. I think Peggy took the divorce papers and ring on that visit when Archie was getting emotional.



    JACK left to deal with Archie, but he appears from the direction of Bridge Street when Roxy goes out to get help. More likely he went to the club safe to get the gun or whatever he had in his pocket.



    ROXY can't have done it, she was in the flat tending to Amy. STACY can't of done it, she was outside with the carol singers seconds after it happened. JANINE can't have done it, she was in the car lot when the carol starts and Achie dies during the first verse.



    We don't know wher PHIL and IAN were at the time, but they are less likely.

  • Comment number 29.

    Danielle! Clues! 1. Archie throwing Ronnie out the Queen vic and on to exact spot she threw her daughter Danielle last april. 2. Ronnie,Roxy,Peggy and Glenda having a meal in AB.Danielle was going to go their with Ronnie last year. 3.Brother named Daniel which is not his real name.Daniel - Danielle. More clues Bradley dies in Stacey's arms tomorrow! I think!Danielle died in Ronnie's arms. Lauren Crace jokingly saying she could walk across the screen,was she trying to tell us something. Glenda's reaction when she saw a photo of Danielle,dose Glenda know something,did Archie ask for her help last april when Danielle was knocked down.Did Danielle really die?

  • Comment number 30.

    I think it is pat evens. she owns the car lot (with a safe inside) and she disappeared for christmas apparently at last minute to see her son (was it?).

  • Comment number 31.

    it was tracey because she the least expected to do it lol plus she has been in it alot more lately

  • Comment number 32.

    My predictions are on Phil, Ronnie or Jack......



    PHIL is a tough man and since I watched the clifffhangers last night - Phil was the winner with most cliffhangers..... so maybe it could be phil with an outstanding "duff duff" *Laughs* once again, lol, near the end an it obviously will finish there unless it leaves with a cliffhanger in tonights ep as to who has done it but they leave it there till tomorrow night's hr long ep (I think it's an hr long).....



    As for JACK.... he is a most likely suspect as his love for Ronnie is still there.... and he knew what Archie did to her in past episodes.... (We all know & hear that likely phrase - "if u hurt her I will hurt u!" vice versa) so it could most possibly be Jack and the fact that he is alsodigging for evidence with the police say's that he could be panicing, tha's if it is Jack!!



    And as for RONNIE...... She was reallly upset when she found out about her dad's death even though he hurt her quite alot she still loved him but still, u have to be a pretty good actress not to be caught out for quite a while and keeping dead slyly quiet about it all.... but then again she got into abit of a mess a few nights back with the paint scene and hit DCI Marsden in the eye which was probably an accident but we all know Ronnie has a rough side to her....



    Funnily enough, Ronnie is my fav character and has been since she entered the square with her sister Roxy so I hope to god it won't be her but if it is.... well.... it is unfortunately!!!! lol.

  • Comment number 33.

    I personally think that none of the people shown in the normal Eastenders episodes killed Archie Mitchel. My logic tells me that Sean Slater killed Archie because Archie raped Stacey. It was when Stacey was in the mental instution and she could of easily rang up Sean and told him to kill Archie.

  • Comment number 34.

    I think it was Ryan who killed him. He loves Janine and wants to be with her but she wanted Archie! I was even more sure after his reaction last night when the ring was found in the teapot and Janine got arrested.



    My money is on him!



  • Comment number 35.

    Emma Ruby - how can it be Becca! If you watched closely, becca came home with stacey a couple of nites AFTER he was murdered and when she had to sleep down stairs for the first night, she got scared cuz she thought the MURDERER would come get her! So dont get your hopes up on that.



    anyway.. it was darren miller as hes gone abit quiet.. and like you said, its eastenders! the one you least expect it to be!





    IT COULD BE LOFTY FROM BOB THE BUILDER!! lofty lowering the bust on his head, which made him drop the glass ball and for archie to be knocked out dead on the floor! ronnie then runs to the vic and finds tyre marks in the vic so calls jack to go get him but secretly, jack is bestest friends with bob the builder so stiches up janine to take the blame!



    howz that for a conclusion Lol

  • Comment number 36.

    LISTEN EVERYONE!! I know who it is!

  • Comment number 37.

    I still think its Roxy. Even if its rubbish, on Youtube theres still the video where you can see the reflection of a figure in the globe thing. Its a ladies figure. Its got to be someone like Roxy, Ronnie, Sam or even Peggy. Everyones saying she's leaving EE this year :( we'll miss her

  • Comment number 38.

    RYAN showed total indifference to Janine on Xmas day when she told him how Archie had kicked her out. I don't think it could be him.



    If they brought in SEAN or GRANT for the rehearsals of the live episode, then a lot more people would know it was them.



    This is Santer's last big story before he leaves and I think he'll want to go out with a big bang. It will be a major charater this time round, RONNIE or PEGGY.

  • Comment number 39.

    Nathalie (37.) if you seen on BBC3, there was a stunt person smacking the bust round his head, because they thought that people might see the actual person do it!

  • Comment number 40.

    I think that it's Tracy. She wrote the note "Gone Fishing" on Christmas day. Was at the carol service. Was there when Ronnie got arrested and when Archie's body was being taken out of the Vic. I also think that the "Silent Assassin" thing that Mo did was a clue from the writers that would make people laugh and not actually think of her as a suspect because the other people on there were actually main suspects. I hope it's Tracy. It would be great. I love her =]. I know my theory of Tracy being a suspect is kinda weird as it seems very unlikely but that's what makes it more likely. If that makes sense :S lol. =].

    Is the person that had the ring actually the killer? Because if so, then it would be Peggy or Jack. I think Peggy was the one who planted the ring because she hates Janine and seems to think that Janine killed Archie. I think that on Christmas day, Peggy went into the Vic and got the divorce papers but also got the ring because she loved Archie and they were married. Also, I think that she decided to plant the ring on Janine because she knows that the police are looking for the ring and think that whoever has the ring is the killer. Peggy was also there when Janine said that she thought that whoever had the ring was the killer. This might make Peggy want to plant it on Janine because then it would look like Janine killed Archie (because Janine said the person with the ring is the killer). I don't think the person with the ring was the killer, though. I think Peggy took it for the reasons I said above.

    I also think that it could be Ben because he's witnessed everything that Archie has done to his family. Maybe Ben went to the Vic to try and talk to Archie, but saw the bust and in the spur of the moment just pushed the bust onto Archie. I'm not sure. Stacey is also another suspect for me. My main suspects are: Tracy, Ben and Stacey.

    Wow, I really need to get out more. :S

    I love Eastenders, though. =]

  • Comment number 41.

    I think either Ronnie , Bradley , Jack



    Ronnie: because she's always had a vengeance for her dad and all the pressure built up to make her do it maybe by acident maybe not



    Bradley: because he raped stacey and conceived a child so he would of been ad for that.



    Jack: beacuse he has the cunning mind to get away with murder and that he would protect ronnie and after she lost her baby he got so mad and ended him



    or a silent killer could be either Ben or Tracey or Sam these 3 could killed archie for the same reason to protect the people that they love Ben the mitchel family chucked out on the streets ben got mad and killed him (or he was lap dancing on the vic table and kicked the bust off lol)sam for archie telling her to do a runner but came back and ended him when she heard what he did and tracey beacuse she wants some attention shed go so far as murder

  • Comment number 42.

    I think it could have been a less obvious person - Minty, Danny, Sean, Grant, Becca...

  • Comment number 43.

    its the person you wuld least exspect.. i think it could be ryan?

    I would say nick cotton but he wouldnt have a reason to kill him lol :L

    cant wait for the live episode!

  • Comment number 44.

    it cant be stacey... she was at the carol service!

  • Comment number 45.

    why didnt i think of this earlier?, danny proud (the one in the wheelchair) lives in the same flaming village as me,just outside of peterborough i know loads of people who know him, i dont personally, i could have got one of them to phone him and see if he knows anything!!! may aswell wait now.

  • Comment number 46.

    Ok first of all https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1244141/EastEnders-bosses-deny-Bradley-commit-suicide-exit-strategy-wraps.html, there, Bradders isn't commiting suicide. I'm gonna go over all major suspects now.

    Sean: No. He's not in the program anymore, if he did come back to rehearse the live episode the press would've gotten word by now and he doesn't know that Stacey was raped. Stacey couldn't of rang him up and told him in the hospital because her mind was all over the place.

    Grant: He is also not in the program anymore, he doesn't know about all the trouble Archie has caused and Ross Kemp is too busy at the moment to deal with playing the guy who killed Archie.

    Becca: If you've read the comments above you should know why she can't have done it.

    Tracey: If she DID do it I think it'd be a real let down. I be a bit annoyed if they built up the story for almost 2 months to find out the killer is a minor character that barely speaks.

    Ben: I can see why some people think he did it, but personally I think he doesn't have it in him. He's just a kid, most adults don't even have it in them.

    Sam: At first I thought it would be Sam, but someone pointed out that it can't be Sam as she's in jail so she can't have the ring.

    Phil: Could well be him, however I don't think so. Mainly because on christmas he said he was going to kill Archie. That made me beleive that he won't kill Archie as it would be too obvious. But I'm not eliminating him.

    Jack: I'm not quite sure about him. He could've done it, but he might not've. Only time will tell I guess.

    Ryan: He had reasons to, but I don't think those reasons are good enough.

    Janine: Quite possibly, I really don't know.

    Ronnie: I think she's likely too have done it, with her childhood and all. One of my prime suspects.

    Peggy: Honestly, I don't think it was her. She's still on my list though, just near the bottom.

    Bradley: At first I thought it wasn't him, but my opinion has changed slightly. Again this is one I don't know, but I won't be suprised of it is him.

  • Comment number 47.

    I think it is Sean Slater (Staceys Brother).

    BECAUSE: He did not actually die, plus stacey got raped so he would kill him to protect her. Also the flat they found the key in (Janines and Ryans) was seans old flat so sean might still have the flat key to get in. DEFIENTLY SEAN! P.s: No-one else has a key to get into the flat so the only option is SEAN SLATER!

  • Comment number 48.

    PineyWhiney (45.) HIS NAME IS DAVID PROUD! lol not danny :L

  • Comment number 49.

    @Nathalie .. How could it be a ladys figure when The Stunt Man Actually Killed Him & Thats Tru Because Rita Simons (Roxanne Mitchell) Said So In An Interview? ..



    I Think Sean Slater Killed Archie After What Happened With Archie Becuase Of Archie He Lost Everything That Mattered Most to Him In The World

    (Amy & Roxy)

    And Apparantly he came back on christmas Day And was hiding in Staceys Bedroom and He Heard stacey Tell Bradley That Archie Mitchell Raped Her And That She Was Carrying His Baby So Clearly Hes Out For Revenge Knowing Sean.. :)



    The End ...

  • Comment number 50.

    I think that Ben is the killer because you never saw the person s reflection in archie's snow globe, second of all he has a lot of family that would cover for him i.e Peggy, Roxy, his father Phil, Ian and the rest of the Mitchell's and the blood that was on Phil's shirt, ben could have put it on and smacked Archie with the statue, not to mention the fact that Phil asked Shirley for a alliby. That's who I think it is or it could be sharon because her and Ian were best friends and he ould have filled her in.

  • Comment number 51.

    whatever his name is!? we live in whittlesey, jeez

  • Comment number 52.

    dot killed archie she had red nails

  • Comment number 53.

    I KNOW Ryan did it, he planted the keys and easily put the ring in the teapot with no problem. If you remember some time ago he had a thing for ronnie, and wanted payback from archie. [:

  • Comment number 54.

    luk in the radio times at the casts for eastenders and highlight who it might be!!!!! it cant be Sean or Grant because neither of the are in the cast!!! x

  • Comment number 55.

    lol well all you guys have very simalar ideas... but whos rite.. and who's wrong? its time to find out, on the weakest link. wait.. wrong show :L we'll find out tomorrow at 8 :)



    im gunna start watching at 7:30 cuz i dont want to miss the first bit lol

  • Comment number 56.

    how come Janine got arrested and Ryan didnt, cus they both live in the same flat, so surley the police should have arrested them both??? x

  • Comment number 57.

    this aint funny anymore.



    at the start of the show the broadcaster said look out for a familiar face at the end, did anyone see anything??

  • Comment number 58.

    what of tonites episode???? x

  • Comment number 59.

    pineywhiney (57.) about the familiar face... you know they had all those little pictures up at the end.. well the broadcaster might just be saying watch out you might see yourself in one of the pictures if you did one.. but yeaah thats going completely off subject!

  • Comment number 60.

    was that to me eastendergal? if so yes, they said look out for a familiar face at the end

  • Comment number 61.

    to eastendergal, someones just said on facebook when lucy drags that bloke outside it LOOKS like sean, not sure though gonna check it AGAIN

  • Comment number 62.

    I think it should be sean slater he always hated archie and archie was the reason his family fell apart. They left seans ending so he was alive to bring him back and i think it would be a great time to bring him back. And he still doesn't know about staceys baby :)

  • Comment number 63.

    wel the killer iznt grant o sean cuz they nt in the cast. i dnt thnk itz peggy cuz on christmas day she wuz at dotts with sam nd she was distraught wen she found out and it cnt hav bin sam cuz she wuz in prison wen the rng wuz put in janines teapot. it wusnt janine cuz she was in the carlott at the tym he died and she luvd him 2 mch 2 kill him. it wznt roxi cuz she was buzy lukin afta amy at jakz house. i dnt thnk it wuz phil. i thnk it wuz bradley, jack o ian in tht orda buh i so cnt w8 4 2moroww lol

  • Comment number 64.

    Everyone seems to have missed the obvious. ITS LITTLE DOTTY!

    The evidence speaks for itself. Her father is a convicted murderer, she has her eyes firmly set on being the next land lady of the Queen Vic.

  • Comment number 65.

    to pineywhiney, it were Leon that Lucy pulled outside x

  • Comment number 66.

    I am sad enough to have freeze framed the murder when it was on demand.



    It has to be Ryan or Sean from the hair and coat I saw.







  • Comment number 67.

    it was sean he is the bookies favourite and it would make sense as he is due a return so wait and see if not its got to be ryan or jack

  • Comment number 68.

    if u go on BBC iplayer and watch tonite episode and u cum to the bit where Phil apoligizes to Sirley outside and wen u see Lucy and Leon runnin/walkin and u pause it, is it me our dus the bloke in the background luk alot lyk Sean??? x

  • Comment number 69.

    Right i was told Sean killed Archie, Ryan is the father of Stacey's baby Bradley dies well it's made to look like suicide (i think) but really Becca kills him because she likes Stacy more than a friend!!!



    I'm still stuck between believing Sean could have killer Archie or Becca she's getting a bit to obsessed with Stacey the way she just rang the police to snitch on Bradley but i don't think its Bradley or jack or Peggy or Janine actually come to think of it, it could have been little BEN oh my gosh no way because he knew that Archie had got hold of the contact for the loan and he had begged Ian to help his family ARGHHHH!!!! I GIVE UP!!!! OK MY BETS ON BECCA, LITTLE BEN AND SEAN!!

    That's it no more suspects :s (FOR NOW)

  • Comment number 70.

    Yeah that did look like sean in the background!!

  • Comment number 71.

    i think it could be grant..Hes been gettin mentioned alot before archie was killed...Hes been getting informed from peggy aboout the money problems and peggy did say he wanted archie dead to phil and would get grant to do it if she could because she said to phil that he was to chicken to do it so phil went back on the booze while peggy went to see grant and also peggy could of told grant about janine aswel...Never know her and him could of plotted this and peggy is just puttin on a face to keep out of the suspition of people thinkin she was in it...

    Doesnt matter if the cast wasnt in the script at this moment..its someone keepin low and some people are comin back to eastenders (So ive read)



    The nail: that was in the pub could be anyones!..it doesnt have to be the killers...lots of people go to the vic and someone could of lost a nail not hard!..

    Black gloves: Everyone wore black gloves when the ring was planted at janines..black gloves is the usual colour you would wear.



    The Ring: Peggy could of got hold of the ring..as janine did leave it in the vic she could of sent it off to grant.. BUT there was ian messin the place up tryin to find archies laptop so he could of took it but then again the person who hid the ring in janines place doesnt have to be the killer..Yes ian could of hid the ring for revenge because she got him nicked for nickin the laptop and throwin it in the river.



    And bradley doesnt commit suiside!

  • Comment number 72.

    just to let you know the killer will be shaun slater

    thanks

  • Comment number 73.

    I reckon its Ronnie because on Tuesdays episode you saw all the suspects wearing woollen gloves and the woollen glove fiend put the ring in the tea pot . Thursday episode she kept scratching around her wrists not once but twice. Watch!! Ronnie has a severe allergy to wool.

  • Comment number 74.

    dont know who killed him

    but ronnie is going physco ! lol

    probably jack done it :)

  • Comment number 75.

    Well I think that Ryan took the ring because he knew how much Janine wanted it. Though I don't think he's the killer. I think the killer might be Bradley, because I used this site to look ahead a few episodes and on Monday something big will happen with Bradley and Stacey. And a few days after that in the description it says Jean and Max get worried about Stacey and after monday it seems that Bradley stops apearing in Eastenders. Either that or Stacey did it and Bradley takes the blame for it.

  • Comment number 76.

    Every one's wrong! Wellard has returned from beyond the grave because he knew everyone was getting slightly peeved with Archie, so the dog killed him because he is.... well 'ard. *Pause for laughter....* *cough* OK maybe not...

  • Comment number 77.

    Right lol, since everyone else is having a go...



    Charlie brookes has a contract til 2012 so even in months when the killer is discovered, its not her!



    Scott who plays Jack also has a long contract til 2011, so same applies.



    Stacey, Sam and Janine were elsewhere as others have said!



    It's odd that tracy left a note but in fact didnt go anywhere!



    Sean and Grant are not in the live episode, which leaves not many people!



    Bradley dies, the killer gets found out in like june, so it cant be him.



    i think personally,the ring...the nail and the laptop are seperate incients from the murder!



    anyway to sum up..my money's on tracey, peggy or shirley!

    What if it turns out to be the not so Dippy Danielle who didn't die but went into some form of shock which woke her up later. She may have planned this for one year trying to get close to her mother who had Archie in the way. So she killed him and then framed Janine for running her over. Remember the clue on Christmas Day Archie throwing Ronnie out and telling her she did the same to Danielle in that very same spot!



    Dierderick Santer said the fans will be satisfied, he got alot of backlash from Danielle's death and who better to kill the man who took away Ronnie's one chance of happiness.



    I looked at next weeks TV Listings booklet and it said 'after the aftermath of catching Archie's killer'..... Peggy, Phil, Ronnie, Roxy, Stacey and Jack are all in the soap getting on with other stuff so I think it will be a toss up between Grant or Danielle it is the 25th Anniversary and Santer is going to make it a special one, let's face it the killer is a hero to us the fans so why would it not be one of the two I have just named?

    Yes that man who walked across when Phil is talking to Shirley outside and Lucy and Leon walk past, sure does walk like sean abit of a slouch. I hope its not Sean it is far to obvious now I would rather he came back as a normal...ish person otherwise he would get banged up in prison for years what is the point of bringing him back for one last arrest?

    i think its sean slater as he use to be in the army and is a trained killer, this guy is a raging psychopath who would do anything to protect his little sister stacy, i think he heard what archie did to stacy which made him so mad he killed archie so that he could get revenge on what he did to him christmas 2008 and now christmas 2009 he took his revenge.

    p.s bring back sean !!!!

    yess sean slater, it could of been him in backround for us fans guessing is it him is it not?, he could make a one off apperance on the live episode, seeing bradley die because the pressue of him being put in the frame for archies murder was to much for bradley, when sean sees bradley die this could make sean shocked and feel responsible knowing stacys true love has dies partly because of him .... thus making him make a quick exit out of eastenders again



    i recon the last part of the episode will show sean shocked and worried and makes a quick exit out of the square then the DUFF DUFF !

    It was Peggy who framed Janine, So it could have been anyone of the Mitchells. She would have wanted to protect them, i think it was either Peggy or Ronnie (i know Ronnie's a bit predictable, But her character has been acting really strange) OR the queen vic statue could have fell after Janine moved it (it could have been dislodged by all the movement vibrations).

    Hi.... how exciting i lurve eastenders!!!, i think its ryan.... oh i can't wait any longer!!!, don't really care who killed him just glad someone did!!!! x x

    Cant wait for tonights episode.... It's sean slater!!!!!

  • Comment number 88.

    If you listen to Dierderick Santer he said it will be a shock killer, so yes it could be Ben because there could be potential for him to become the next phil mitchell. This gives him many opportunities ahead as Santer said in his interview, to be Phils ultimate 'Son of Mitchell'.



    If you remember the Christmas episode Peggy put her keys on the bar so did the others, in last nights episode Janine had the key to the Vic, someone has planted them on her. It has to be someone who lived in the Vic who is unlikely to give their keys to Archie? It could be Ben yes because nobody would expect him to have a set which could have been passed to Grant but wouldn't it be shocking if it turns out to be Danielle!



    God I hope its not Sean he is far too good looking to keep making him to be the baddie. It is the 25th Anniversary as I said before Santer is going to make this big and shocking so it may not be Sean too obvious now.

    Just out of interest didn't Grant have a daughter when he left for Brazil? What if it turns out be her?

  • Comment number 90.

    Well in todays tv choice I was correct in saying that the killer will be revealed at Bianca's wedding at the Vic. But nobody said the killer was going to be caught just revealed giving this person many opportunities to come back for more killings in future. We will probably see the person walk away with the single black glove and then the Duff Duffs!

    LOL @ Danyelle... Your right, he deserved it!!

  • Comment number 92.

    It is easy to tell who killed Archie because whoever told the police that the ring was in Janiens Flat then! becasue who is going to no that it was in there!!! SO all they need to do now is to do some research on who ever said to the police that the ring was in janines flat!!!! :S

  • Comment number 93.

    It has to be a mitchell because of Jannines Keys it was probably peggy or phil but we could be surprised Roxy?

  • Comment number 94.

    Just because they have contracts doesn't mean they didn't do it they might just not get caught

  • Comment number 95.

    I thnk it was grant mitchell as phil and shirley keep fightin and yesterday she was gonna tell everything.

  • Comment number 96.

    it might not be a mitchell.. becca went and stole ronnie's hairbrush.. maybe she got the keys aswell while she was there.. but i dunno we will have to wait and see...

  • Comment number 97.

    IT was grant mitchell

  • Comment number 98.

    I didnt think it would be sean till yesterdays eposode, 2 reasons :



    1. Looked like sean walking past in the background when phil was speaking to shirley



    2. Who use to live in Janine's flat, Remember Sean living there with Gus!

    so he could still have the key and changed the lock as Ryan said it wasnt him!!



    But i don't no, maybe Ryan, peggy, grant

  • Comment number 99.

    I know who dunit it was sean slater think about it he used to live in janine and ryans flat then he left somehow he must of known what archie did to stacey.

    dc marsdon said there was no false entry and sean does have a key to the flat he planted the ring in the flat and let himself out

    The killer is not revealed to many characters. So we can assume it is someone high profile who will be protected by people. Therefore, it is likely to be:



    Phil: He was on his way to the Vic and the shirt with the blood is a clue. He didn't kill him the first time when Peggy instructed him to, so maybe he wanted to finish him off to prove he hadn't become a complete softy.

    Jack: It's possible that he tells Bradley only, who then dies, meaning no one else knows. He said he would kill Archie if he touched Ronnie again. That was before he pushed her out of the Vic. He was the first to turn up at the Vic after Ronnie and Roxy.

    Ben: Unlikely, but possible. Maybe it was an accident.

    Sam or Peggy: Peggy definitely planted the keys, so she might be protecting her daughter. She might have had something to do with Jack ordering the copper to get rid of the evidence. Bradley or the real suspect would have shown up, therefore Jack was going to protect Bradley anyway. He would respect Peggy enough to help her.
