EastEnders' Lucas Johnson has set tongues wagging with another shock storyline.

The preacher, played by Don Gilet, has murdered his fiancée's ex-partner Owen Turner (played by Lee Ross).

This killing comes after Lucas stood by as his ex-wife Trina (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), impaled herself on a rake in a shed.


The bodies are definitely stacking up in Albert Square. Alongside the likes of Coronation Street's David Platt, EastEnders' Janine Evans, Hollyoaks' Clare Cunningham and Emmerdale's Kim Tate, Lucas and Owen are examples of soap baddies we love to hate.

Without them, the shows might as well not exist. Where would EastEnders be today if Dirty Den had been a faithful, loving husband to wife Angie? Soap villains are an essential element of the genre because they keep audiences watching. We celebrate some of the best bad boys and bitches in our gallery.
