About Lucas Johnson in brief
Lucas Johnson is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders. He made his first on-screen appearance on 3 April 2008. Lucas is introduced as a reformed drug addict and criminal-turned-preacher. He appears as the estranged father of established character Chelsea Fox. He also has a young son, Jordan, and later goes on to marry Chelsea’s mother Denise. Lucas slowly became the show’s secondary antagonist when he causes the death of his former wife Trina by leaving her to die in a raking accident. The character soon departed on 30 July 2010 when Lucas gets arrested for the murders of Trina and Owen, both of which were publicly exposed. Lucas made a previously unannounced reappearance on 1 January 2016 before returning for a short stint in the year, in which he escaped prison until he was rearrested and left the programme again on 10 March 2016. On 1 October 2020, it was announced that Gilet is set to reprise his role and and returned on 25 December 2020. During his time working on the show, Gilet has described Lucas as having ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ aspects to his character. This multi-faceted personality was further explored in the BBC Three special EastEnder: The Two Faces of Lucas. The character also appeared in the spin-off series Eastenders: E20. He is now married to Denise – whom he had previously been in a relationship with prior to their reunion. He later marries Denise and buries Owen’s body in Albert Square, under a tree planted in Trina’s memory.
Lucas later admits that he could have saved his wife’s life but chose not to go to the police and tell them everything, claiming that he will go to a canal to tell them about his crimes. He has a daughter, Chelsea Fox, with Denise, who he later rekindles his relationship with. Lucas comes to Chelsea’s aid when she develops a drug habit but Denise is furious to see him and tells him to stay away. He meets a woman named Jade and takes her to a secluded area, where he forces her to kneel and pray. He becomes suspicious after finding scratch marks on her neck, so Jade reveals that Lucas will help her wash away her sins and get her back on her feet. She tells Lucas that she is proud of what he has done and he takes her back, claiming he killed him in self-defence. Lucas eventually forgives Denise and they rekindle their relationship, becoming engaged. Trina repeatedly tries to come between Lucas and Denise. She eventually agrees to a divorce, planning to move to Walford to be with Jordan. Lucas and Trina have sex, and during an argument, Lucas pushes her away and unintentionally causes her throat to be impaled on a rake. He leaves her to death, making it appear that she died in an accident while taking drugs. When Jordan’s sheepdog, Sugar, starts sniffing around the tree, Lucas disposes of her at a nearby canal, telling his family that she ran away.
