There are just a few hours to go before Lucy Beale’s murderer will be unveiled on EastEnders.

Before we find out who killed Lucy, here’s a look at all the deaths on the BBC One soap since it began in 1985.

Christmas is especially deadly – 17 died in December. Summertime appears to provide brief respite to the cast, only four people have been killed off in May and August.

The Butchers and Cottons are the joint top deadliest family, having been implicated in six murders each.

Lucas Johnson’s murderous rampage makes the Johnson name second with four.

The Mitchells were responsible for three deaths.

The Moons were implicated in two, with Branning and Fowler families on one apiece.

And the Beale family have never been implicated in a death…yet!

The findings were carried out by bookmakers Bwin, who have tipped Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) as Lucy’s killer, with odds of 8/1.

Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) is second at 6/1, followed by Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) at 5/1 and Bobby Beale at 3/1.
