I think that Kathy is just trying desparately to keep her family together
having spent many years "dead" and unable to speak or see them it makes sense that she would do this |

Not just Kathy though. He bashed Denny in and Sharon was trying to protect him, Martin wasn't happy about him being taken to the police station, Ben too even though he was nearly fingered for the crime. I think they are trying to normalize the Beales' actions by making everyone else morally bankrupt. Even Jack shrugged his shoulders!
I recon when he admitted to caving in Jane's head against Richie's advice, she realised that Lucy was a genuine mistake, he didn't want to kill her, and that everything since (Denny & Jane) has been Jane (and Ian)'s fault for covering it up. He's just a kid who's had to keep it all in. |

I think a lot of it now comes down the simple fact that many of the characters knew what happened prior to the attack on Jane and are worried about themselves getting in trouble should the truth come out; I think it's become less about Bobby and more about protecting themselves as they didn't go to the police when they initially found out and in some cases, such as the Mitchells, have made clear attempts to help cover up the truth.

Kathy doesn't really seem to have much conviction in any of her opinions. So waffley and awkward to watch really. Doesn't sound anything like the Pre-Dead incarnation.

Sharon was protecting herself, Phil and maybe Ian & Jane.

I think this is the case too, definitely with sharon and Phil. But although Kathy faked her death etc etc, her actions now DON'T fit with that of her character. Her grandson - who she had never met until she came back from the dead - killed her granddaughter, then attacked Denny, pushed Jane down the stairs and then battered Jane repeatedly with a hockey stick. if don't care if she is his grandmother, at what point will she think Bobby has gone too far? When he's taken out all his siblings and Ian too? Ridiculous.

Nah. In the moment Bobby wants to bash the living daylights out of the person (GBH) or silence them (murder). I can't believe folks are still hanging onto Jane yarn. If you hit someone with intent (GBH) and the person dies it is murder.

But now, he's had two years (during a pretty formative point of his life) of his family being torn apart by it, he's known for a year that it was basically all his fault. It's this stewing that's turned him into a complete psycho. |

You've got to remember Lucy died over two years ago, bobby was 10 (?) at this point. I'm not saying he wasn't a bit messed up or whatever to hit his sister over the head, but I don't think his intention was to kill her. Murder is killing with forethought.

Bobby knew exactly what he was doing when he killed Lucy...he couldn't have been more cold and cunning. Instead of screaming for his father who was in the house he phoned the one person he knew would take his sob story and cover up for him. The person who love him more than the rest of the family put together....Jane.

Now his intent to commit GBH on folks is far more clear. He has to hope Jane doesn't die or he'll be facing a murder charge. |

As I keep saying to be murder the forethought only has to be to inflict grevious bodily harm on someone. If you decided to go after someone to bash the living daylights out of them but they subsequently died you will be charged with murder. You don't have to go out with the intention to kill that person.

He has to hope Jane doesn't die or he'll be facing a murder charge. I genuinely believe that the storyline-big-idea is that in trying to save her son, Jane made a monster (with some nice parallels to Dot who believed her son could be saved, but in the end had to admit defeat). |
