Cedric Lucas arrived in Walford on 21 September 2006, with his wife Joy, to visit 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. Cedric seemed tired and worn out, and Patrick was shocked when he declined an offer of a glass of rum, and only asked for a small portion of food. Patrick's other guest, Jim Branning, had heard of Cedric's wild reputation from Patrick, and was also shocked at the frail old man he met. When Patrick confronted Cedric, he told him that he was dying of pancreatic cancer, and this was the "farewell tour" - he advised Patrick to enjoy his life, and not take it for granted as he had done. Afterwards, Cedric and Joy left to go home.
After Cedric's death, Denise Fox revealed to Patrick's wife Yolande that she had never known her father but she knew he was in a band called The Five Hectors. It is therefore possible that Cedric was her father.
