Stacey Slated Archie !! 

After weeks of contemplating, questioning and just racking our brains for the name of the murderer, BBCs Eastenders finally reveals to us that Stacey Slater killed Archie Mitchell. WOW.

I'm sure most of the country was in total shock as the prime suspects were deemed to be the adult Mitchell's to Ronnie's lover Jack Branning to his nephew Bradley to even suspects that haven't been in the show for over a year - Sean Slater. 

So everything was revealed at the last minute of the half hour show on Friday night at the normal time of 8PM. Having us - well me at least itching in my seat for 8.29PM to come to find out who did the dirty on Christmas day 2009.

The one-off live show, also celebrating the 25 years Eastenders has been on our teleboxes entertaining the nation was packed with mystery, nuttery, arguments and suicide. (Pretty much the norm for the fictional Eastend town.) The show pulled in about 16.6 million viewers last night, costing £500,000 and the use of 36 cameras (9x the usual 4).

With Charlie Clements who played Bradley Branning leaping to his death from the Queen Vics roof top to avoid being arrested by the police, now leaves mad wife Stacey Slater - played by Lacey Turner, a widow and a revealed muderer. 


The mystery has definately proved a hit, especially on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, where fans have been questioning each characters motives, leading to trending topics and many status updates a minute during each episode of the nations favourite soap !!
