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:
“The myths about what we’re supposed to feel as new mothers run strong and deep. . . . While joy and elation are surely present after a new baby has entered our lives, it is also within the realm of possibility that other feelings might crop up: neediness, fear, ambivalence, anger.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“The polls say we are within three points. We haven’t made many converts, but we sure have made a lot of undecided.”
—Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)
