The Best Internet Reactions To Who Killed Lucy Beale On Eastenders

For the best part of the last year one question has been driving soap fans crazy, placed thousands of bets and even involved private investigators: who killed Lucy Beale? Our long wait for the truth FINALLY came out last night in two sensational live episodes, and we were not expecting the culprit to be little Bobby Beale. Thank God that the Twittersphere's reaction was as brilliant as we'd hoped it'd be...

Summary

· Plenty of people loved that the murderer was a CHILD
· A BRILLIANT thug life Bobby Beale account was quickly created
· Some were impressed by the pressure it must have put on the child actor
· People started to worry about their own younger siblings
· Some made references to that highly similar occasion on The Simpsons when Maggie shot Mr Burns
· Plenty were frustrated by the twist
· Then there was the real life Bobbie Beale from the USA who couldn't understand why people were tweeting her about murdering Lucy...
· Then there were those that cared more about the rest of the episode

Plenty of people loved that the murderer was a CHILD

They do nap time and play time in prison right?

My question is, how can he keep such a big secret for so long? I can't nick a chip off my mate without cracking under pressure.. #EELive

so a 7 year old can kill someone with a jewellery box but I can't even open a jewellery box without flinging half of the stuff out #EELive

Hats off to Eliot Carrington, a 12YO tasked with delivering one of the biggest lines in soap history. And he did it live #EELive

People started to worry about their own younger siblings

Kid's don't murder your older brother's or sister's if they annoy u, there are times we all would love to but don't lol. #EELive

Some made references to that highly similar occasion on The Simpsons when Maggie shot Mr Burns

I bet everyone's saying this but surely the worst baby killer since Maggie shot Mr Burns. Still, what an episode though, wow! #EELive

Plenty were frustrated by the twist

It's as bad as Ben killing Heather with a picture frame ffs #EELive

Then there was the real life Bobbie Beale from the USA who couldn't understand why people were tweeting her about murdering Lucy...

Why are 3 people from Scotland that I don't know, tweeting me about killing someone named Lucy...
— Bobbie Beale (@BobbieBeale) February 19, 2015

I'm scared for my life about my last tweet
