EE: Bobby away to boarding school? Don't make me laugh!
Sending Bobby away to boarding school is NOT the answer!
For a start, he's going to be coming home for the school holidays - that's four weeks each at Easter and Christmas and eight weeks in the summer - so he'll still be around to face things at home. In addition, has Ian got any idea how much it's going to cost? Even a middle order preparatory school - full boarding - will cost easily upwards of £20,000 per year and if Bobby ever gets into a public school, the costs for places like Harrow, Eton and Wellington are in excess of £35,000 per year .. out of taxed income. You're not telling me that the Beale empire can stretch to that! This is just not going to work! We'll still have an unconvicted juvenile killer at large and Max (he may be a snake but he's not a murderer) still banged up. Come on EE writers .. you can do better than this.

I agree, I like EastEnders but the scriptwriters are going a bit silly now with them coming up with the idea of the Awful Child and boarding school...... he does need professional help, but boarding school is not where he would get it, he needs some psychiatric help from how he is portrayed, he veers from being naïve to downright evil and not realising what his actions do to others. This whole storyline seems made up as it goes along and I think the writers have lost their way now. Bring it to an end. Please take Bobby to the Station and sort it all out. What a sorry mess.

This could work though. If Bobby carries on with his violent behaviour at school, they won't cover it up like his family do. Also, Bobby seems willing to admit to killing Lucy now that he knows, perhaps this will happen without Ian and Jane hovering over him 24/7.
I have a feeling he won't be there for very long. |

I thought he would've gone to a Priory-type clinic not boarding school.

Won't the school soon work out they have a psycho on their hands when he starts beating up other kids and murdering animals.
Problem is they are in a bind - as the alternative is half the cast going to jail over the cover up! I expect Bobby will be forgotten about - and the Lucy story too, No doubt Sharon will forgive Ian by mid. Jan. And then we await Max to return. |

Desperate writing from scriptwriters that have got themselves in a terrible mess over this whole ongoing storyline.

In some way, I feel sorry for the writers. Because they essentially go by what they are told to do for storylines. They deliver what is essentially ideas from someone's head. So the blame goes on who came up with the idea. It's silly. But i am not convinced it will happen.

Ridiculous. My boys are day boys at a school which takes boarders. The school is strict with day pupils but the level of discipline with boarders is unbelievable. The boarding master and Matron take no prisoners. Bobby the psycho would be expelled the first time he chucked someone down the stairs for not doing what he asked. I don't for one minute believe Ian could afford it either. It's not that long since he lost all of his money. Of course there are scholarships and bursaries and he'd likely get a discount although I doubt he could even manage day fees never mind full boarding. Packing Bobby off to boarding school is a cop out for a storyline the writers don't know how to end. Half the square know he killed Lucy, he's turned Jane into a simpering fool (no mother no matter what would bundle a step child's body into their car and dump it), an innocent tight buttocked man is in prison and there's no way to have a conclusion without half the Square "going dahhnnn".

My kids go to Boarding school and he won't last 5 minutes with his attitude. All this will do is leave him feeling more resentful for being packed off out of the way and when the school send him back for his behaviour issues he will be twice as bad.

Look, he's not that bad, he's only murdered 3 innocent people and tried to kill 3 others.

So fed up with this ridiculous storyline. It's clear that Bobby knew what he had done to Lucy. if he really thought Lucy had been killed by someone else, he would have been upset at what Denny said and would have gone crying to Jane about it. But instead, he watched and listened and then came up with a plan to Lure Denny to the common - where lucy's body was found! - In order to beat him up. Must have done a good job too,cos Denny was still lying on the ground when Ian and Phil found him. Bobby then called Jane and asked for her help quite calmly. he planned it all out,and now Ian wants to send him to boarding school? WTF. Seriously, this storyline is beyond a joke now. Too many people know, too many (supposedly) shock twists and turns and still no one cares about the innocent guy in prison.

If DTC and Alex Lamb get this right (lol), the net will close in on Bobby if the boarding school calls his parents about a serious incident with another pupil. Either he kills again or badly injures someone during one of his rages. Then *hopefully* the Squeal Beales will finally realise that their special snowflake needs to face up to his earlier crime.

Can't stand this obnoxious little twerp. It's beyond me why Jane has covered up for him for so long. I'm glad he's been written out.

Ian is dreadful in all this. Yes, Bobby is his son and he wants to protect him but Lucy was his daughter. Does she not deserve some justice for what was done to her??
Bobby is dangerous and out of control. It won't take long for that to come to light at his new boarding school. Probably when he viciously attacks another boy or teacher. It will be out of Ian and Jane's hands then, Thank goodness. |

The problem I have with this is that after like 20 months of the Lucy storyline, the solution is to ship the murderer off to boarding school. Also Bobby doesn't seem THAT shocked/upset that he killed his sister. I expected a better climax for the storyline

I went to boarding school, but not for being a psycho. Or was I?
