Ian and Jane's behaviour and protection of Bobby is ridiculous hand him in Bobby should face the consquences of his actions why should he get protected and let other people take the blame. Also Cindy is right that kid needs help he isnt right in the head. How long is this gonna go on for?. DTC better have Bobby exposed soon I cant take much more of Ian and Jane protecting him

It feels like it has been going on forever.

It's not ridiculous it's utterly brilliant and they can't risk handing him in, he would surely kill them first hence the name "Bloodbath"

The echo of the murder night in tonight's episode was amazing... I feel it served the purpose of both Jane and Cindy now starting to realise Bobby is dangerous

It has very suddenly hit Jane that whilst she thought she was doing the right thing in protecting Bobby, she ultimately hasn't, that realisation dawned on her tonight

It's not ridiculous a lot of parents have and would do the same thing, as immoral as it is, a lot of parents are also in denial of what their child is like.

This makes sense. Protecting Bobby is obviously wrong but many parents would do anything to protect their child

Im glad dtc is finally using bobby and making him a valuable character and not just a pointless character. He's giving meaning to bobby character and not just a back fader character

Next tracey please lol her last story was when Sam beat her up

This. I can't 100% say I wouldn't do the same if I ever have any children. I don't think anyone can until they've arrived at that horrible situation.

This whole storyline is just terrible. It's spiralling out of control very quickly. If producers are seriously writing this on assumption that folks feel for Jane and Ian they are very mistaken. Only those with a complete morality by - pass can feel that way. Their behaviour has been abominable and in Jane case sociopathic. Cindy is redeemable away from them. Peter only Beale with credibility in tact. It's pathetic anyway that Max is in prison but Lauren is with Peter who knows truth.

I agree with this, I just don't see how anyone can defend Ian and Jane. Protecting your child is one thing, but their actions have been apalling. I'm wondering now how they will be redeemable in the future as characters. Surely there would have to be some consequences for their actions.

That's my issue. Why would EE want to damage Ian as a character and Beales as a family? Well the answer is sensationalism to satisfy the gnats who crave this sort of stuff but it destroys the fundamentals of the show. Brookside set off down this route and look at how that ended up.

The problem is that Lucy was also Ian's child and like a daughter to Jane yet she was just dumped amongst the insects and left for an innocent little girl to stumble upon. She was treated like she was nothing.

It's beyond belief that dumping of a daughters body to be eaten by vermin. Covering up for a year and letting others rot in jail for the crime is seen as OK. I can only assume that folks are so desensitised by more and more of this type of stuff in soap that the connect with reality is gone.

You can't limit a show's potential and certain characters because of how it might end up. They have to embrace the challenge of writing that aftermath.

Again, why do you assume it's being written that this is seen as ok? The only thing we're meant to slightly sympathise with in this whole twist is that Jane, Ian and Cindy don't want to let Bobby go to prison for what they assume was an accident. It's not OK, hence all the scenes where Ian and Jane are beginning to crack up under the pressure.

I think it's given the Beales better material than they've had in years...this is really dark, intense stuff that very few soaps would have the bottle to attempt and it's fascinating and uncomfortable to watch. I don't think it has destroyed the show at all.

I get protecting your children, but allowing an innocent person to go down is completely wrong. He needs to get help, that would be better for him than just covering up, and if they are so obsessed with protecting him maybe one of them should take the blame.

Surely you already know how long it will last and when it will end....Aren't you psychic? Or is that just to real world events?

there is little question, that should Max look like he will go down, they should stop it, HOWEVER that really lets them off the hook, he is in prison now.

The problem they have is also that they have covered up for him for so long, they wold be considered accessory after the fact, or the preventing the course of justice, even more so if they let Max go down.

Beale family is f. .ked and Ian as a character is f..ked. Ian the only long term character left is given a storyline that marginalises his character. Why do it? Few soaps would attempt it because it is destructive.

Jane is guilty of a multitude of crimes....failure to report a death, interfering with a crime scene, covering up a murder, wasting police time, allowing Max to be falsely charged and imprisoned etc. Max should sue them for every penny when he finds out, they are even indirectly responsible for Emma's death and his daughter fleeing to the other side of the world.

It's not ridiculous at all, we've all been there after all. Most weekends I drag my missus's eldest down the common and leave her there. Cover up her death and everything. Only problem is that the swine keeps coming back

No family in real life would protect their child they would hand them in as they would be getting themselves into trouble by covering for them
