EE Steven should've been a surprise return
It would've been so epic if Steven was a surprise return, it's a shame EE don't do them anymore

I get the impression it was supposed to be but Aaron Sidwell was spotted in the background of a video one of the actors uploaded to Instagram forcing the BBC's hand.
It was obvious from the way tonight's episode ended that it was supposed to be a surprise imo. He was omitted from the cast list for the episode and his return was only announced a couple of weeks ago. Usually if they intend to announce them it's a bit further in advance. They still do surprise returns - Peggy's in January was a surprise. |

A lot of people don't spoil EastEnders for themselves? Steven returning tonight would have infact been a surprise to quite a lot of people.

There was a thread on here months ago what suggested it because Aaron started following half the current cast. Then the girl who plays Linzi uploaded a pic which had him in the background on set with Jac Jossa. I suspect she has been axed because of it.

Yep surprised and horrified to see the son that he disowned because he (accidentally) nearly killed Jane and then tried to kill pat. But more than happy to cover up for bobby who he knew killed Lucy, attacked Denny and then smashed jane's head in.
Bobby is Ian's pure fresh and blood though and at the time was 10/11. Bobby has also never kidnapped Ian and locked in up for two months like Steven did. Its a very different situation. Ian tried his very best to build bridges with Steven after EVERYTHING he did but cut all ties after finally reaching the end of his tether. Ian gave Steven several chances and each one Steven rejected and used as a means to cause trouble. Edit, also you case you have forgotten and it appears you have, Ian paid for Steven to get rehabilitated in a special clinic which cost him a lot of money, its not much different to Ian sending Bobby off to a school to teach him better discipline. |

In fact, there was nothing onscreen to even suggest that Linzi was anything more than a short-term character. |

Bit of selected memory going on here but its not surprising given you seem to hate everything about the Beale's.

Good post, esp highlighting the lengths Ian went to in order to keep Steven out of trouble. People are trying to rewrite history to suit their opinions across various threads. Its starting to get annoying. |

And yes, I may talk about it a lot on here but that's because it's the major storyline in EE at the mo and there are several threads covering different aspects of the story. For the record, I don't hate all things Beale, the original beales were awesome and I actually loved Peter, Lucy and Steven. Ian and Jane were also a great team up until this farce. i do have a massive problem with the way the bobby storyline has been handled and the way certain characters have behaved but that's my opinion and it's fine if people don't want to agree. Would be a very boring world of we all thought the same. |

I remember the spoiler for Steven beale coming back hardly being one you could avoid
Especially when DS do a big headline on the home page saying "Steven Beale confirmed for return". So you didn't need to click on the article as the headline spoke for it's self. |

It wasn't supposed to be a surprise, can't think why anyone would consider it was supposed to be, just on the basis of they hadn't heard about it being the only reason no doubt.

Ha ha, I make no apology for the fact that I hate Ian and Jane! I don't have selective memory, I know full well that Ian paid for Stevens rehabilitation and I also remember that Steven continued to be unhinged and did some outrageous things afterwards. But your point that Bobby is flesh and blood and Steven is not is (respectfully in my opinion) irrelevant. Ian thought Steven was his, he brought him up as his own son when he found out the truth and was devastated when he went to live with Simon. Are we now saying that he loves Steven less because he isn't actually his?

This was a surprise to me as someone who avoids spoilers where possible. Agree with the poster above who says he's much better looking now though- he looks great.

I agree, the constant 'calling out' of people by some on here because they don't have the same opinion is getting tedious.
Yet here you both are all day discussing the same characters. I call that being a hypocrite. So if anything is tedious its the games people play in topics on here. |
