Jane Beale could be making a sensational return to Walford after seven years, according to a fan theory.
The speculation comes as details of an hour-long special episode of EastEnders were revealed, marking the 10th anniversary of Lucy Beale’s murder.
Set to air on April 17, the episode will commemorate a decade since the shocking storyline began, with Lucy’s death originally airing on April 18, 2014. Spoilers suggest that the episode will feature drama for Jay Brown and Elaine Peacock supporting a friend, while a fundraiser is set to take a dark turn.

It has been confirmed that the Beales will gather to remember Lucy on the anniversary of her murder. Fans will recall that Lucy was accidentally killed by her younger brother Bobby Beale during a heated argument at their home, reports the Mirror. Lucy and Bobby’s stepmother Jane covered up the crime for almost a year, even moving Lucy’s body to the woods.

A year later, the family discovered the truth, but it wasn’t until another year had passed that Bobby confessed his crime and was sent to a youth detention centre. This year marks the first anniversary of Lucy Beale’s death with her mum Cindy Beale in the square, nearly a year after her jaw-dropping resurrection from the grave in a classic soap bombshell.
The buzz around an upcoming hour-long EastEnders special has fans absolutely convinced that the showrunners have got something massive up their sleeves. While it might just be a bit of schedule juggling to make room for some sports action on the telly, the whispers among the fanbase are that the 10th anniversary of Lucy’s untimely demise is bound to come with its fair share of twists.
