All the Beale/Mitchell haters foaming at the mouth due to the prospect of Max getting his revenge while ignoring the fact he's out to ruin the lives of hundreds of innocent people who had nothing to do with his imprisonment:D
I admit it's an interesting direction to take his revenge storyline in but I hope Innocent Billy, Innocent Donna, Innocent Denise, Innocent Mick and the rest of the innocent residents of Albert Square will get the same sympathy An Innocent Man (TM) got when The Philth and Beale the Squeal let him get banged up for Lucy's murder. Somehow I doubt it;-)

And tie Ian to some train tracks who squeales uncontrollably until Kathy and Jane come to the rescue on a hand powered rail cart.
They don't fit in IN the Vic. Hopefully it will culminate in them all being written out of EE
He wouldn't be out for revenge if the Beales, Mitchells and others hadn't done what they did. That's what it boils down to.
Of course it's wrong if anyone unconnected suffers, but Max at least has good reason for being twisted and acting the way he is. While on the run, he inferred to Jane that prison is no picnic for a man up for killing a young girl. He's clearly broken hence the self-harm.
Other than Ian and Jane, Bobby's deluded parents, none of those covering for Bobby really had good reasons for their actions. It was plot-driven sh**e that by rights should've ended several characters who're still around in plots obviously designed to undo the damage and get us liking them again . However, it's only really worked with Jane, which is a surprise given her body-dumping antics.
Agreed.
Like Max when The Philth and co. framed him?:D
It still doesn't excuse him destroying the lives of those who had nothing at all to do with it.
By that reasoning Jane and Ian should be fully excused for what they did to protect Bobby. That was a pretty good reason to be fair:p
True. At least he's somewhat interesting for the first time since he joined the show.
That's true aswell.
Thanks, Aar:)
I suspect the writers knew Max would never get the better of The Philth and so this mysterious businessman has been dragged into it to give the storyline some gravitas. We all know the square is going nowhere so hopefully this is the end of Max when the truth comes out.
Maybe this return for Max is just a six month stint to tie up the revenge story and leave.
But the set is going to be changed and brought up to date starting this year so it is going to happen. Some of the locals might hate the idea but I'd say the viewers are excited and the likes of Ian will not object. It's a good way of rebuilding the set without having to restrict filming.
I expect he'll chicken out at the last minute and turn against the chairman. I'm sure Dot, Lauren, Abi and the rest will take him on a long guilt trip until he switches sides. All will go back to normal since no one liked Max to begin with:p
You're probably right. Max has always been a bit of a loser. Every time he plays with the big boys he ends up getting his fingers burned.
I'd argue it's Philth who has treated Max the worst. Ian and Jane at least had a motive for their actions (protecting Bobby) and Jane went out of her way to stop Max going down by lying in court about the affair. They also showed at least some remorse. Phil's only motivation for stitching Max up was that he didn't like him.
Could be argued if Jane and Ian hadn't covered up Bobby killing Lucy in the first place then no one including Max would have been in the frame for it in the first place and Phil wouldn't have been able to stitch Max up for it.
They all deserve some form of punishment.
I always assumed Phil helped Max go down as revenge for Max getting Ben to sign over the Arches to him when Phil was wrongfully imprisoned for the car crash on the day of Ronnie and Charlie's wedding.
It was Jane that set the ball rolling. She even lied to Ian and Peter letting them believe the worst...assault and rape by a stranger. Peter never forgave her and is now an alcoholic and addict. Something that seems to bother her not at all. Nor Ian for that matter.
Scum the lot of them. They all played a part in ruining Max's life...Jane, Ian, Phil, Sharon, Lauren and Abi (to a lesser extent). And Max's crime...sleeping with a woman who seduced him for money.
Phil had already got his revenge for that by conning him out of the car lot , causing him to lose his home.
Oh yeah. You have a much better memory than me!
I don't think Ian is aware of the current state of Peter. I think Steven hid the full extent from Lauren and then confessed all to Jane when she discovered he was fiddling the accounts to pay off debt. Lauren is now fully aware but I believe Ian isn't.
For me, it was Sharon who in my own personal view has taken leave of her senses. Ian is one of her best friends and she's always been close to Jane but she's also always been relatively morally sound (if you ignore sleeping with her husband's brother and getting back with Dennis behind Zoe's back).
I always thought it was a shame the Carol left before all was revealed. Just imagine her going for Phil, Sharon, Ian and Jane. God I miss Carol Jackson, one of EEs greats.
If Jane hasn't told Ian then that's another crime to add to her list. How dare she not tell him...Peter is his son not hers. He had every right to know how Lucy died and he has every right to know that his son is in a desperate state. Is she going to wait until he turns up dead in some hovel with a needle sticking out of his arm.>:(
You leave MyLinda alone.
She just needs a new husband.
I think that's because Jane was the only character involved that had any development with the plot. Her background with the family, her emotional explanations, the fact she can't have kids of her own helped to explain her involvement and why she did what she did in a moment of madness.
Whereas the other 352 characters who covered it up..... just for the sake of covering it up was just preposterous.
