Joy Lucas arrived in Walford on 21 September 2006, with her husband Cedric, who was visiting his old friend and bandmate in The Five Hectors, Patrick Trueman. They got lost and asked Denise Fox in the Post Office for directions to Patrick's house. She complimented Patrick's wife Yolande on her cooking, and helped her with the washing up. After Cedric had revealed to Patrick (and his friend Jim) that he was dying, Joy and Cedric left. They stayed in London to visit more friends, and planned to return to their home in Trinidad.
Joy returned in October 2006 to tell Patrick and Yolande that Cedric had died. She attended his funeral and wake, with Patrick, Yolande, and Cedric's other surviving bandmate, Aubrey Valentine. Denise Fox had revealed that her father was in a band called The Five Hectors, and Patrick told Joy and Aubrey that her father was either himself, Cedric, Aubrey, or one of the two other deceased band members. Joy later returned to Trinidad.

Famous quotes containing the words joy and/or lucas:
“Nor good, nor bad, nor fools, nor wise,
They would not learn, nor could advise:
Without love, hatred, joy or fear,
They led—a kind of—as it were:
Nor wished, nor cared, nor laughed, nor cried:
And so they lived; and so they died.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“The beast exists because it is stronger than the thing that you call evolution. In it is some force of life, a demon, driving it through millions of centuries. It does not surrender so easily to weaklings like you and me.”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Lucas (Nestor Paiva)
