BBC EastEnders viewers have questions about ghost in background of soap

Soap fans watched Bobby Beale's hallucinations get worse in tonight's episode of EastEnders - but they have a number of questions about the ghost of his sister Lucy.

Bobby, played by Clay Milner Russell, has being having visions and hearing voices following his return to Albert Square.

He had been at a youth detention centre after he pleaded guilty to GBH of step-mum Jane and unlawfully killing Lucy Beale.

But he is haunted by what he did and keeps seeing the ghost of his sister, which sees him turn to drugs.

As the hallucinations increase, viewers had a few issues with the apparitions, one asking why Lucy had aged so much.

One, @Dean_Round_1979 said: "Poor Lucy Beale in #EastEnders. Nothing to do with her death mind you, but the thought that she has to spend the rest of her posthumous life in the underworld wearing that horrific grey suit."

Another, @Shirley***** said: "Didn’t know Lucy was a 55 year old woman."

A third, @amyxlouise19 said: "Seriously gonna start seeing Lucy myself at this rate."

A fourth, @tonycIays said: "Bobby’s flashbacks to Lucy are giving me weeping angels vibes."

And a fifth, @Pablo942000 said: "Why is Lucy a middle aged business women all of a sudden."

The dramatic storyline ended in this evening's episode with Bobby visibly distressed at the edge of a train track as concerned commuters looked on.

*EastEnders is on BBC One Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays or available on BBC iPlayer.
