EastEnders: Credibility Down The Toilet
So in the last few episodes Ian and Jane have been discussing Bobby's manslaughter of Lucy in broad daylight, in the middle of the square, without even bothering to whisper.
And we're supposed to believe in this story? Yeah, right. |

Jane is losing it - she wants people to know and she's not thinking clearly.
As much as I dislike Jane the Bodysnatcher, the past week or so has really started me feeling a little more sympathetic towards her. I think she realises now that Bobby is deranged and that he's going to hurt someone again. |

The show lost credibility years ago, it's got like 5 murderers on the square and another return from the dead, it ain't big on being credible anymore, times are changing and with that the 'realism' element gets more and more thin on the ground, it more drama, sensationalism and escapism then being real, if your looking for that you will be hard press to find it nowadays.

After watching it tonight it's Ian that is really getting on my nerves. I think the truth will be out soon, I think it will be tied in with Ian's suicide attempt, and Kathy returning.

It's a soap not a documentary if you want to see a really ridiculous soap story watch any of the American soaps,that will remind you just how good the British soaps are

I don't think its lost all credibility but I do find it harder to believe that Jane would hide Lucy's body and cover up her involvement as coldly as she did then go around to tell Carol everything after all her work to keep it quiet. If Jane had been acting like this before the reveal it would have been so obvious she was involved.

It's making less and less sense as the writers are clearly desperately trying to tie up loose ends and patch over the daft pointless storylines. I don't understand the Cora storyline at all.

![]() I appreciate Bobby being seriously out of control is now getting to her and that is an interesting turn of events but what would telling Caeol achieve regarding this Why not confess to the police Also wasn't she going to take the blame herself, so what on earth would that achieve. How convenient as well that she chose to tell Carol when Carol was completely taken up with Cora which Jane knew. Finally (rant nearly over ) What had blood in Max's work place got to do with it Bobby still killed Lucy or has she totally lost the plot now. Anyway I for one am very pleased that Cindy spilled the beans as this story line and my desperation for the end is on a par with the Dean rape story line now. |

EastEnders hasn't been a realistic show for the better part of a decade, and that's being extremely generous.

To be honest it's getting a bit Spartacus and they have really over milked this Lucy storyline. By adding all these further mysteries they are undermining the big impact of the live episode and over egging the pudding.
Jane confessed to taking the body to the common believing Bobby to have killed her. Now they're saying Max did it, when actually Lucy fell and hit her head. Somebody else will be along in a minute to say they did it as well. They're in danger of giving the viewers mystery fatigue with all these twists and turns. I'm past caring. |

The Lucy story has long since decimated all credibility, realism and plausibility from the show.
