In this episode that has just aired, one of the policemen told Ian that they had been knocking on doors with in a half mile radius to see if anyone knows anything about Lucy that could be useful to the police. I suppose everyone would have found out this way.

Hope this helps!

Everyone saw Ian upset in the pub and would've heard Peter screaming outside

It would have been on the local news

Close friends and family would have phoned each other up

Neighbours gossip with each other

You didn't miss anything. We just have to take it for granted that others were told. You can't expect a television programme to show everyone spreading the word around. God how boring to watch would that be! It's the same as in real life things just appear to become known at times. I know I've been informed of things that I hadn't said anything about but somehow everyone knows.

I was confused at first too. I thought it was because it isn't on on a wednesday so they told them on wednesday. Only logical explanation...other than they all killed lucy

The last Episode I saw, Ian only told his family and Denise... (Bobby, Jane, Cindy and Peter)...

Then in this episode, everybody seems to know about Lucy dying, but how?

Why have Eastenders like skipped bits?

Dot seems to know, this other lady who were old pals with Jane and Ian seem to know and also Lauren seem's to know but nobody told them and her death wasn't exposed all over the square...

Or am I missing something?

How come everybody knows about Lucy's death when Ian only told immidiate family unless Eastenders have just decided to randomly let everyone know without the viewers seeing it happen!

I'M SUPERRRR CONFUSEEDD!
