Asking how long they're going to be together, suggesting that Beth will be brought up in a broken home. Fair enough Bianca doesn't have the best track record, but this is first time in ages she has had stability and off the Square at that.

This is the same bloke who has had how many failed marriages and relationships? The same guy who walked out on everything (though he admittedly had a breakdown) leaving Lucy to take care of home and the businesses.

Terry seems to be a good dad to TJ and Rosie.

Agreed: pot, kettle, black?

Seeing Terry again tonight reminded me of how much I liked the character and didn't want him to leave :/

I agree. Terry doesn't seem terribly smart but despite that he comes across as a very caring, attentive, supportive father. Something Ian has never been.

.
Actually, as a parent I'd argue that Bianca's track record is better than Ian's.

The only way to tell that Whitney wasn't Bianca's biological child was she didn't call her mum; it wasn't bought out in every argument and there was no doubt that Bianca loves Whitney.

I'd say that if TJ doesn't want to step up as a parent to Beth, Bianca and Terry will.

I'd like him to come back in it - minus Bianca. I never liked them together, but I liked him away from her.

Ian and Jane have messed up 5 kids between them, one of whoms blood is on their hands. No matter how loathsome Bianca is, she isn't on the same scale of repulsiveness as them.

I agree, Bianca might not be the best person ever but she is the better parent, Ian may loves his children but like Max he is terribly selfish and can be spiteful when things don't go his way, but again he gave Cindy a home and provide for her when he didn't have too and raised Steven as own but they both just cause him trouble, not that his biological children have been much better granted the only decent one is Peter and he want nothing to do with him,

Ian pretty much has himself to blame with his roving door of women who use him and leave him which directly affect his kids over the years.

The problem is he wants what he had as a child & teenager, a good family life and he just can't get it right.

Good point lol, I sometimes forget that fact, amidst all the snide remarks he makes about her, though she never liked that much as well. He's not exactly close to David Wicks (his half-brother) either.

Ian's still being a judgemental hypocrite? Surely not?


He's NEVER going to change, he's always going to look down his nose at those he feels are inferior (yes, even family) while blithely ignoring what's going on in his own house/life. I reckon he has a superiority complex, if he's looking down on other folk he can bury his own feelings of inferiority/failure.

To be fair most characters in EE are hypocritical.

Probably only Tambo and Nancy who aren't.

Yeah, I don't think, I have seen an episode where Tamwar and Nancy have acted like hypocrites. What about Jay?

Doesn't make him any less wrong, Ian and Jane seem to be for the long haul now and even if they're not they have Bobby to tie them together even if they aren't husband and wife.

I did think some of the comments he made seemed wrong but I guess when we are angry we don't think before the words spill out. Hopefully Beth will be back

Its so nice to see that Ian thinks SO fondly of his NIECE not that he ever refers to her as such. And Liam is his GRANDNEPHEW. Oh if only Liam was Beth's father, then she would be Ian's GREAT-GRANDNIECE and he would have some small claim to her.

Terry and Bianca are more stable then Ian and any of his marriages. Lets recap shall we?

Ian Beale is the Ross Gellar of the Square: Three divorces just like Ross. One marriage that ended with him being a widower and ignoring a baby who he didn't think was his until a DNA test proved other wise. Ian has been married 5 times: divorced from Cindy I, Mel and Jane (the first time), a widower from Laura and remarried to Jane. I wonder how long that marriage is gonna last?

Jane helped her evil son cover up the fact that he cracked his sister's skull open like an egg, shoved her body in the trunk of an ugly little Nissan and then DRAGGED her to the common.

Terry is a very dependable guy and was divorced once, amicably from Nikki. Bianca has been divorced twice, but from the same guy and she must still be on speaking terms with him even if we are never ever ever gonna see Sid Owen again because she sent Liam to Ricky after the laughable gang storyline.

Ian and Jane NEVER had any claim to Beth. Ian wanted Beth because he still creams himself even all these years later at the memory of his first ex-wife, who tried to have him killed and then slept with his stepbrother and his half-brother. If Beth wasn't Cindy I's granddaughter, he wouldn't give a damn. The child isn't your anything Ian. She is the granddaughter of Cindy and NICK HOLLAND.

Jane wanted Beth because she felt entitled to her. Beth's aunt Lucy aborted the child she promised to her and her uncle Steven made sure Jane would never had a child when she was shot.

I worry about what's gonna happen when baby Beale Branning arrives when Jac Jossa comes back from her maternity leave. Jake Wood is leaving for a year so all Lauren will have is Abi if Cora doesn't come back. If you thought Ian was pathetic around Beth, just WAIT until Lauren and her baby are back. This will be the FIRST grandchild Ian shares Cindy I so he is GOING to do anything to try to get the baby from Lauren. Jane will help him, ignoring the fact that the baby is her BFF's grandchild because she'll be entitled to a child.

Ian is a massively flawed character, whatever story lines he goes through, he always returns to the self-centred, selfish idiot he's always been! I thought with the mental health issue/ homeless storyline he would at least grow somewhat as a character, but no! He's been vile to Cindy (yes I know she's a terror, but she is also a child who currently feels no-one listens/ understands her and from what I can gather has been pushed from pillar to post in her life with no stability or continuity so of course she's going to feel insecure) he's businesses are always his priority, and he's a big oafish coward! Why any woman finds him attractive is beyond me!

Well said JB, spot on! I wouldn't trust those two with a pet hamster never mind a kid! Add Bobby to the mix and would anyone want to leave a vulnerable baby where HE is?

Totally agree with all your post but Cindy Jnr was taken on by Cindy Snr's sister and mother and was living with them (having the odd visit from Lucy/Peter) until she landed at Ian's door. So although she might not have been totally happy (and was perhaps jealous of her half-siblings and the things they had that Ian bought his kids off with instead of giving them attention) I can't recall hearing that she'd been dragged from pillar to post or been dragged up/badly brought up. I recall her saying that she'd felt unloved but let's face it, pre-baby Cindy was bloody hard work (even Peter and Lucy didn't seem to like her much) and might well have landed on Ian's door in a strop because her Aunt or Granny asked her to e.g. clean her room or something else completely inane! However I do think she has been a bit messed up by knowing her mother died giving birth to her and having a largely missing father which might explain the way she is, she hasn't had a mother or father's love so she feels different, even guilty, so she reacts to that.

However I think Cindy is a glass half-full kind of girl who will always find something to strop over/feel hard done by about and the fact in this case with Ian and Jane she has a genuine grievance doesn't stop the fact that she was previously a stroppy mare! Which is what makes this storyline so interesting to me, Cindy isn't that sympathetic a character but Ian and Jane are a pair of ghouls who are almost making Cindy look saintly!!

I don't think its far to say Cindy caused him trouble...

I was absolutely horrified at Ian and Jane...OUR little girl. Beth isn't their little girl. They haven't tried to understand why Cndy doesn't want Beth near her...it's all about them. She is living under this terrible secret and in the house with a child murderer. Maybe she is frightened Beth will suffer a same fate? Not once have they thought about what she has done in keeping such a terrible secret or considered the impact of burgeoning a teenager with such a secret...if course she is cracking up! What teenager wouldn't especially when all her feelings are pushed aside and she watches what is a reward go to a child who killed her sister! It's disgusting!
