I know the Beales know that Bobby killed Lucy but will the police ever find out? What would happen after that, surely all the Beales would be in trouble?

I'm confused because if Bobby never gets found out then surely the storyline won't ever end until the police eventually close the case?

How does everyone else think the storyline will end and when?

This story HAS to end by the end of the year. Its reached its peak already. We need a resolution so we can start 2016 fresh.

I definitely see Jane taking the blame for Bobby since she won't let him go to prison/juvie or whatever they sent him.

Ian, Cindy, Peter could also go down .... Unless Jane lies

I agree, the storyline needs to end soon.

Bobby himself has not really done anything to be 'found out' for as there was no criminal intent - certainly not murder, even though he inadvertently killed his sister.

Jane may have committed a few offences with regards to preventing a proper burial but it is unlikely that the CPS would actually proceed with any charges against her, given the circumstances.

Ian & Cindy - I'm not sure they have done anything wrong themselves.

I agree...I did not see the point in Jane covering it up, it would have been accidental death surely and Bobby was a minor..he just chucked an item at lucy out of temper...wtf is going on..meh!

What?

Bobby Beale - Manslaughter.

Jane Beale, Ian Beale and Cindy Junior Williams - Perverting the course of justice.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of charges for jane to face , what she's done is appalling.

Maybe in soapland but I can assure you in real life the CPS aren't the ones to decide on innocence or forgiveness... she has committed serious offences and will have her day in court to plead forgiveness.

She will also get done for wasting Police time

As it's a soap, I can assume Cindy and Ian (at the moment!) will be in the best position to not go to prison - probably Cindy more so as she's younger and any good lawyer could argue she was manipulated etc. Ian could easily be pictured as the grieving father who wants to protect his son and he didn't know for 10 months.

Jane on the other hand...the fact that she moved the body is a major point.

The thing I have with this storyline is what route do they take? Bobby will eventually be found out one way or another. Do they put him in a young offenders and then he comes back older and more criminal (a la Ben) or do they go down the self-harm route where he can't handle what he's done.

I'd rather see the latter.

I guess,there isn't a lot of drama in Jane, admitting straight away, what happened.

Bobby wouldn't get punished since he didn't even know or intend to kill her

Whatever happens, he still killed her though.

Thinking about it, Jane is more concerned about herself. She will get in trouble for moving Lucy's body. If they had gone to police, straight away and admitted what really happened, the police may not have punished Bobby.

I hope the devil child gets his comeuppance. His darting eyes, furrowed brow and flared nostrils as he listens in on the Beale family conversations reminds me of Chucky.

DTC needs to wrap this up and do other stuff with the Beales, it really is boring now.

Yeah, the truth will eventually come out, but not while Bobby is still a kid. I expect the storyline to die down in the short term, but return after a number of years. Could be a potential Bobby Beale exit storyline in the future.

I can't understand why Ian and Jane didn't take Bobby to a child psychologist as he is clearly in need of help.

Are you actually serious? Ever heard of perverting the course of justice?

McBeale is a sociopath and will need regular prison beatings to atone for what she's done. Does anyone notice that Bobby never uses doors like a normal human being? He just appears in rooms, looming like a little demon.

They won't lock up Beale or MyCindy.

I thought after it was revealed to be Bobby during the live week, they were all talking about how over the summer they'll be following this up and dealing with Bobby in a 'We need to talk about Kevin' way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Nee...lk_About_Kevin) - i.e. the Beales trying to get Bobby to realise what he's done and how bad his actions were.

I suspect this is going to be over soon anyway because having Ben arrested is probably the only person that Ian would not let go to prison now for something he didn't do.

It'll probably get as far as the court case though and then Ian will break down while giving evidence on the stand.

Bobby will never get found out, as he is he next big soap villain in the making, he will still be in EE in years to come.

I think he will be find out he did it by overhearing a conversation. And i think we will see him struggle over the years or start playing god and deciding who should die.

I want jane found out though. Shame emmas notes are no longer around.

Thats True but both are clearly uncomfortable with it and have thought about breaking and telling someone numerous times. Jane however...

Cindy and ian will just need a caution/warning if anything. Jane should be locked up or killed off though. Shes irredeemable and the characrer has been ruined alot more then the likes of dean (he improved as character despite being ruined as a person) alfie, shirley, mick.
