After cheating in her GCSEs Lucy left to live with her nan in Devon.

Melissa was seemingly fired after soap bosses grew tired of her off-screen behaviour which alleged included underage drinking.

Lucy returned to Albert Square in 2012 played by Hetti.

In 2015, the character Lucy was killed off in one of the soaps biggest ‘whodunnit plots’. After 10 months of viewers waiting, the killer was revealed to be Lucy’s little brother Bobby Beale.
