These girls cannot be left without their beloved mother and in the hands of this monster. What a staple good character Denise is to Eastenders. Please bring her back! we never saw the body! How could this be left for so long un-realized. I hope Patrick sees through Lucas story and goes to the Police!

But think about it... Lucas went into the viewing room alone,, so he could have identified the body even if it was her.
And I never heard anything about her leaving... so...watch this space!

At 07:40 19th Jul 2010, Alida Schaap wrote:Lucas breakdown and confess his guilt? After what he has done that would be a piece of cake for him. But Lucas is beyond confessing, he is way in to deep! He is a serial killer who won't or can't stop. Denise was his fourth victim, yes his fourth, we must not forget poor Sugar, the dog. Lucas is a cold calculated man; he said he loves Denise but kills her as soon as a matter of opinion about baptism occurs. That is not love, that is wanting to be in control, like a puppetmaster who pulls the strings of his marionets. So Patrick, Libby, and yes even you Chelsea and Jordan, beware of Lucas, he is dangerous!
I must agree that there is a possibility that Denise could be alive. But wouldn't that be a miracle after we saw her being killed by Lucas?
Allright, suppose Denise is working together with 'the old Bill'. Then she must have given Lucas the impression that he killed her, the drowning part could have been easy. And procucing a corpse that looks like Denise is with help from the police not unthinkable. But Denise is a brave woman and I wouldn't put it past her if she was ready to help the police to get Lucas behind bars. But faking getting killed while it is realy happening is very tricky. But theoretically speaking not impossible.

He has even fooled himself - into believing that he's doing the right thing. Makes you wonder where/how it will all end?

Why is it that only British fans are allowed to watch previews and missed episodes...there are EE-fans outside the UK as well you know!.
Missed the entire series last week and part of the week before (due to technical malfunction of the recorder) would be so nice to be able to see it on the BBCwebsite.

Which apart from the fact there would be potentially obvious strangulation markings on her neck, in addition to this, would be that as she was killed before entering the water; there would be substantially less fluid on the lungs and that is something easily detectable. Surely the writers would not have overlooked this, so something exciting must be going to happen!

I am knew to this.
Well Denise does turn up at her own funeral. She is in the background to the left hand side. Also when i received my eastenders newsletter this morning it said that some people think there is a ghost present! So if that isn't a big enough clue. I also think that Lucas dies in a fire as i have read that where he is going is going to be very warm.
