East End Giallo?

A few years ago I suggested here that soap operas and most specifically EastEnders, might consider turning to the conventions of Giallo movies in order to wrap up storylines that had gone on too long and dispose of characters that had come to the ends of their tenures.  At the time, the soap had supposedly decided to cut short a story arc which had originally been planned to span several years, but had quickly become tedious.  I felt that the best way to do this would have been to introduce a mysterious black gloved killer who dispatches various of the characters in suitably bizarre ways, before vanishing, never to be referred to again.  Either that or, years later, to have someone discover some dark secret which, while unconnected to the original truncated plot, binds all the deceased characters together and points to the identity of the vengeful killer.  Well, of late it seems that they have taken my advice.  Sort of.  Of late, just about any character departing the soap has done so by being murdered by the resident serial killer.  

While solicitor and wife beater Gray Atkins, the character in question, doesn't really fit the Giallo killer criteria - there is no mystery as to his identity, he doesn't wear black gloves and doesn't leave taunting clues for the police - he does enjoy the sort of outrageous luck usually seen in Giallo movies in order to avoid detection.  Moreover, he has, at last, committed a sort of bizarre murder by pushing someone under a tube train - avoiding detection by the unlikely expedient of the station CCTV system not working - highly unlikely in these days of constant terror alerts, (extra security staff would be deployed if the cameras were down).  Of course, while his identity is known to the audience, it isn't to the rest of the characters, a situation with precedent in Giallos.  In Mario Bava's Hatchet for the Honeymoon, for instance, we know the killer's identity from the off, as he tells us in the voice over who and what he is.  But while EastEnders' producers haven't quite gone the whole hog in embracing the spirit of Giallo with this plot, there's still time to rectify the situation.  Perhaps they could introduce a quirky detective, who looks like Donald Pleasance or eats hard boiled eggs all the time, as a protagonist for the killer.  Or maybe a new piano teacher who looks like David Hemmings could turn up to unravel the mystery.
