The writers don't seem to know what the hell they're doing with the Bobby plot anymore, it was farcical today.

Ian wouldn't leave his wife after Bobby did that to her.

He wasn't going to though.

I find the story compelling but not believable.

Pat in last tuesdays episode was jumping the shark.

Ian being a weasel and acting like one was true to his character

You clearly don't know what jumping the shark means.

And two farcical lines from Kathy:

"It was an accident" (this one made me laugh out loud)

and

"It's what Jane would have wanted"

It should be banned from this forum. It gets thrown about so often on here, usually out of context.

I agree

But it's lost it's meaning over the decades when people apply it to anything that doesn't seem right to them.

When a TV show begins a decline due to using a gimmick to draw in viewers? Killer child battering his mum with a hockey stick seems like a gimmick to me, unless I'm misunderstanding the term? Bobby killed Lucy by accident, I wish they'd followed that rather than now seemingly turning him into a devil child.

I think it's actually you who killed Lucy Mr S. You've been on a 3 year crime spree bashing the poor residents of Albert Square to get SexyParamedic on screen.

I just think it's perfect how Lady Di has turned this around on Bobby Beale. She is a criminal mastermind. Love her
