Lucy Beale of the Beale Family

Lucy Beale

One half of the Beale twins, Lucy's life has already been quite eventful. With a mum like Cindy Beale, that's only to be expected. 

First appearance: 16th December 1993
Address: 45 Albert Square
Occupation: Walford High School 6th Form student, taking a year out. Since Ian’s breakdown, Lucy now owns all of Ian’s assets including his house and all his businesses!
Lucy’s been held hostage, mugged, run away from home and put the frighteners on Christian and Syed, not to mention making life as difficult as possible for Ian's various love interests.

  • Allergies: Fabric softener
  • Hobbies/Interests: Shopping, money
  • Qualifications: GCSEs - cheated then retook
In spite of her constant need to rebel, Lucy loves her Dad and Bobby dearly and is fiercely protective of her family. She played a key role in ending her dad's relationship with Mandy Salter for this very reason.
Ian's subsequent breakdown and disappearance left Lucy holding the fort, and, since his return, she's not relinquishing control. Having persuaded Ian to sign all his assets over to her, Lucy is now the proud owner of Ian’s house, Beale’s Plaice, Cindy’s CafĂ©, the Fruit and Veg Stall, and is also the landlady of 15a Turpin Road and 89b George Street. No wonder she felt the need for a year off her studies!
