EE: Joe killed off in murder muddle

[carmelina]

From The Sun, January 13 2007



JOE Macer will die in a dramatic twist to the EastEnders ‘Who killed Pauline?’ plot.

Joe, played by Ray Brooks, will crash through a window after a row with Jim Branning. And viewers will be left wondering if he was murdered.

Another theory will be that he committed suicide, either due to grief or guilt at killing wife Pauline (Wendy Richard).

Joe is a key suspect, along with her son Martin and daughter-in-law Sonia.

A BBC insider said: “The whodunnit is set to carry on. Sonia is the main suspect but then Joe dies, throwing confusion into the mix. Did he kill Pauline? Was he killed himself?”

TV Biz revealed that Ray was being axed after Wendy announced she was leaving the soap.

Very interesting. I really hope it wasn't Sonia.

You know, this entire plot line is just getting to be a little too silly and weird, in my opinion. I mean, I know it's a soap, but, really, it's all just a bit much.

[Skylace]

It really is eefan. I can't figure out what they're doing. I'm very disappointed on how they have handled all of it.

Remember the "who shot Phil" storyline? There, the writers had several characters who were in the frame for the crime. How in the world does Joe come into it? We didn't see him with Pauline before she died?!?!?! This whole scenario is just too silly for belief.

It's getting BORING

My only guess is maybe he hit her after she hit him with the plate and it was building up for ages in her brain. I don't know. It's stupid.

You know, maybe it's good that the lot of them will be gone. EE can start fresh and maybe get some proper storylines going. If we could only think of how to get rid of Keith in the whole process, there might be some hope.

Amen! They keep putting him in little bits I think in an attempt to make us like him and then show him being a lazy sod as "comic relief". Still wish he'd have left instead of Rosie.

Well said eefan! I agree with you 100%. It has always seemed to me that EE has dragged on storylines much longer than need be. Unlike Corrie that seems to move along faster than EE.

Yes birdy I do agree.But I don't want to here any of that I told you so stuff.

I've just got this picture in my head of him throwing hiself through the window, like those old comedy sketch shows on TV.
