EE: Will Cindy be framed for Lucy's murder?
We know someone is soon going to be wrongly arrested for the murder of Lucy and everyone assumes it will be Max since there's evidence putting him in the frame - plus he is leaving temporarily. But what if DTC throws a shock at us and it is Cindy who is framed by Ian and Jane? It may sound ludicrous at first but would it really be that out of character for either Ian or Jane considering their behaviour recently? It is also worth mentioning that Mimi is of the age where she may need a break in order to focus on her school work (I'm not sure whether she is still at school) since a lot of soap actors her age have breaks in order to focus on their studies. It'd also be a very dark and twisted development of an already dark and twisted storyline for the Beales. It'd also allow Cindy to eventually be released and show a more relentless and vengeful side just like her mother. Connected in both name and nature etc.

I'd love for her to come back and be like "Amanda Clarke" from Revenge.
That's true but I think there was no going back for them once it was revealed what Jane did to Lucy and how Ian instantly accepted it. Their characterisation would change but would that be such a bad thing? Phil has gone from being the softer Mitchell brother to getting his partner beaten up at The Albert, making her believe a stranger is her father and even suggesting framing Peter for the murder of his twin sister. That said, it would be very out of character even for Ian. But I wouldn't put it past Jane.
I could be completely wrong, and I kinda hope I am because I think it would be fascinating to see them justify ruining Cindy's life to protect Bobby, but idk if it will happen.
You actually raise a very valid point. I can certainly see this secret continuing up until Laurie Brett decides to leave the show (or another year or two at least). It'll be interesting to see what happens once the truth does come out. Will Cindy, Jane, Bobby and Ian all be arrested and charged? That'd be explosive if it ever did happen - a whole family facing prison. I'd assume Jane would just take the punishment for Cindy and Ian when it comes down to it - after all, she forced them into this mess.
Although I think a more likely scenario would be the social worker (who has already voiced concerns over Cindy possibly harming Beth) alerting the police to said perceived unhingedness and them using this as a basis to build a case against Cindy, leaving Ian and Jane once again to decide if another member of the family needs to be sacrificed to protect Bobby - with their desire to keep Beth now also in the mix.
Yes, I think that is more likely.
I can't see either Ian or Jane being bad enough to set out to frame her but how they'd react if she was falsely accused is harder to say. Jane I believe would sacrifice absolutely anyone to save Bobby (and herself so she can look after Bobby) but Ian would be more conflicted I suspect.
I do think that the Social Worker might jump to conclusions about Cindy's Anger Management issues.
Yes. Jane kept those for a reason.
It'd be interesting if Cindy was framed for the murder (or wrongly accused) and when Lauren returns, she reveals the truth.
That's assuming they'd find out. Are they in much contact with their families and depending on who is arrested, would they be told if they did ring?
If Ian and Jane are prepared to let somebody innocent go to Prison, they'd probably be at pains not to tell anybody that could clear them and implicate Bobby. So any info they get would most likely come from Max or Abi. Then they'll be the issue of whether it is too late in Lauren's pregnancy for her to fly although you'd think they could give a statement in NZ. It's still hearsay though, Peter didn't actually see anything, he's just going by Jane's confession and Lauren didn't even get that first hand. Didn't they burn Emma's notes so Lauren can't even produce those to 'prove' that it was somebody at the house.
You make a fair point. Can't really disagree!
Wow, that would be some dark shizzle though!
