This. They are all too worried about their own involvement and getting into trouble. I thought sharon was going to step up to the mark especially as Bobby attacked Denny before but even she was still trying to protect the secret.

Disgusted by Jacks comment - as a former police officer he would know that the evidence is only circumstantial at best.

Disappointed Mick didn't back Stacey up - he might be ian's friend but in these circumstances I would have expected him to say something. And I don't know who linda Carter was replaced with, but the real linda would never have listened to denny say he found out bobby was a killer at Christmas and then not question him further!

Great to see keeble back but was thought the interview was weird. Even if they didn't or don't want to believe bobby they didn't even question him properly and were just dismissive of his claims over lucy even though a) he had just battered Jane and b) knew Lucy wasn't killed on the common. They started to ask how she ended up there and then didn't pursue it!

I'm guessing that when Lauren comes back she'll stand up and tell the square what she knows. I'm also guessing that she'll go back to the police station and tell them that she did try to tell that detective before but he didn't want to know. And unfortunately I think stacey and martin's marriage is about to be tested as she supports max and he supports Ian.

WOW. Amazing how everyone but Bobby was trying to tell the truth to the police [Phil, Sharon and Ben... ]. And no one believed his public admission [bar Stacey]...?!

Jack really doesn't like Max, does he...

Glad that Bobby actually just kept spilling the truth despite the ridiculous peer pressure not to - let him be punished - he wants to be and deserves to be!

I'm just wondering how in the Hell Ian is going to get out of this unscathed.

He can't really. But if Kathy can fake her own death in an insurance scam and get away with a suspended sentence then Ian will probably get 100 hours of community service.

But Ian has to; I'm pretty sure they're not going to get rid of Adam and I doubt he'd leave so I'm intrigued as to how he's going to wriggle out of it.

Also, was this written without the writer seeing the ending of the episode?

Because it seems to me, following THAT cliffhanger, that the police most certainly WILL reopen the case. Did the BBC withhold the full ending from the media?

If Jane ends up in a wheelchair and with the loss of his daughter as well, even in real life that is quite possibly what would happen, there would be a considerable amount of sympathy regardless of his mistakes

I hope they dont put Bobby jail and they see that he gets the help he needs

Fantastic episode again tonight.

I feel people will only start realising that Bobby killed Lucy, when Lauren returns, and I can't wait to see Abi's smug face see reality 😊

Wonder what the Mitchell's are gonna do about Stacey... they better not threaten her. I can't see Martin standing by and protecting Bobby, knowing what he now knows about Lucy's murder- BUT one never knows unfortunately...

It'll be sad for them on a personal level if that's what happens to Jane, but in a sense it's a kind of nemesis for covering up a death in their own family and lying to get an innocent man locked up.

Come to think of it, Phil got his karma in a way for what he did to Max. Soon after Gavin's henchmen held him captive and he turned to the bottle and has cirrhosis of the liver.

Other than Stacey and (surprisingly) Bobby, everyone else in the episode was utter filth. Ben, Jack, Abi, Sharon, Ian....

Abi and Jack's reaction made me sick. I hope Max and Lauren cut them out of their lives when they come back.

I really can't see how this can go on beyond this week now; I've thought that before but this time we have the killer in the police station confessing with Ian stood right behind him. If it's taken any further then it's just farcical.

Do you mean sympathy from the police /courts or the community? I know I am biased against Ian and Jane but I don't think that the court would take that into account. I think they would see the amount of police time wasted and the cost to the tax payer. They would also consider that he allowed an innocent man to be sent to jail. As for the square, yes some will sympathise with Ian because they will need to write in some support to keep him in the square but this in itself is annoying as there was no sympathy for max - despite the fact he'd been there for years they were happy to believe he was a murderer - and yet there will be understanding and forgiveness for those who are actually guilty.

I do mean the courts and the public at large. In fact the public at large may be the biggest factor as a case like this would garner national headlines and it's naive to think that when politicians and the media and the public get involved that this doesn't influence the courts

They are all at it


The killers of Jamie Bulger were younger


Idiots


They are hopeless


Are Social workers obliged to be at the scene of the crime ?


Nope. They haven't reached there yet


Poor Bobby


She is licenced to kill as she is bi-polar


Nope


Agreed


She si the only one in Walford


I sniggered when he was arrested for actual bodily harm


Scum indeed


The case is officially solved but the Police are incompetent


They will all get away with it


Looks like it


Shredded it


He had not been told about it

You have your wish, you'll be more careful in future I'm sure

Some bizarre lines tonight

Whist at the Police Station .... Bobby to Sharon 'will mum be angry with me'

(nah i'm sure she will forgive you, she forgave you for murder so smashing her over the head and spoiling a wedding cake is no problem - she might even buy you another bike)

Ian talking to Cathy at the hospital 'Bobby was doing well with Hockey at School, possibly being entered for the 2020 Olympics'

(well don't let this hiccup spoil his Olympic future, just tell him that the stick is for hitting a ball and not to be used as a murder weapon and then maybe he might get the gold medal)

The script is nuts.

I wonder how many more times Bobby is going to have to admit to killing Lucy to the keystone cops before they actually believe him?

I'm sure he could produce his own CCTV footage of him committing the crimes and still no one would believe him.

Don't worry Son, I know you've just caved your mums head in with a hockey stick but we'll see if we can get you sent home now OK?

Just an absolutely absurd plot.

YouTube might be Bobby's best bet, they have all his best bloody bits on there.

This story line has got to end soon as I'm getting concerned that Bobby really does need to have a shave.

but why? They were friends when Jack left the square.

Wow that was a great episode, I loved every minute of that.
I can't wait for Thursday episode
10/10

Surely when Christian is told everything on Friday he will also support Max getting released - he always seemed quite a moral man.

Well that was an episode full of despicable behaviour by the Beales and Mitchells, I see the Philth is back to being the lowest form of scum and will no doubt be threatening Stacey very soon.

I hope that Martin punches his lights out.

Roxy you stupid cow, Gaga you fool, Ian you prat, Sharon you dumb blonde.

The most likable member of those two families was the Bloodbath which says it all.

At least he confessed to his crimes although Walford police are (yet again) making the Keystone Cops look like Sherlock Holmes.

Still it was enjoyable but I really hope poor Max will get his revenge - in particular on King Weeble who is so happy for Max to go away for life because he had a young and attractive girlfriend like Lucy.

WTF?

Hypocrite thy name is Mitchell.

Ian saying how highly the school thought of Bobby's hockey skills. Who knows, they may have offered him a sports scholarship to stay at the school. We may never know.

I hope so.

I want Lauren to come back all guns blazing, complains to the IPCC, Bryant loses his job, and is prosecuted for misfeasance in public office.

They then have to pay Max shedloads in compo and he buys up all the Beale businesses, Branning Bros become kings of the square and Phil has to abdicate.

Well, he might be full-time carer for his disabled wife by then, that would help him get a lighter sentence.

Just to add another couple of things why does Jack suddenly hate Max?

Why has Kath turned into someone thicker than a whale omelette?

So.

Sharon - dumb scum.
Philth - utter scum.
Gaga - twisted scum.
Kath - thick scum.
Jack - traitorous scum (but does not know the truth).
Abi - traitorous bitch scum (but does not know the truth.
Ian - scum (but still loves his son).
The Bloodbath - psychopathic scum (but at least he knows exactly what he is and confessed).
Keeble - Keystone Cop scum.
Babe - blackmailing scum.

Have I missed out anyone?
