As with a lot of eastenders stories the seeds seem to be getting sown for the future although they are getting sown very slowly.

Just wondering if perhaps Steven and Lauren go too far, get caught Beales threaten the police, Lauren threatens to spill the Lucy history and the Brannings somehow take the Beales for a lot.

Then max returns of course

I cant believe Lauren would actually blackmail the Beales after letting her stay and help look after her baby. But knowing Steven he would try and persuade her to do it even though she knows it is wrong

I didn't watch much at the time when Bobby admitted that he killed Lucy so forgive me for asking but do the Police believe that Bobby killed her out on the common then? If he told them he'd hit her in the house then surely they'd be asking questions about how her body got to the common in the first place?

In 2014 the police believed that Lucy's death was staged to look like it was a mugging. However it was retconned this year and the police think that Lucy got hit on the head and walked out and collapsed (not sure why they'd think she would walk in the Common at night though!)

The police also didn't interrogate the Beales when they found out that Bobby killed Lucy. When Bobby confessed in front of the police, Ian didn't even act as if it was the first time he'd heard it. Although Keeble found out after the court case that Ian knew since his wedding night, and she decided to let it go as he had already lost so much.

No, that's what Steven and his hot sister should be doing.

Lauren has known the full story for nearly 2 years and has done nothing. She doesn't hold the moral high ground over the Beales at all. If anything she is worse than them as they were protecting Bobby, one of their own, and have no real allegiance to Max (they hated him anyway if I recall because of his affair with Lucy). Yet Jane still tried to get Max off by giving him a false alibi. Whereas Lauren knew full well Max was innocent yet allowed him go down for a crime didn't commit. Her own father. If she did reveal the truth now she'd be in serious trouble herself for withholding evidence and perverting the course of justice. If Max returns with a grudge it should be against his daughter for her appalling actions.

Lauren's been so far up the Beale's backsides for ages, I can't see her wanting to spoil that and it doesn't seem like she cares about Max at all now.

Thanks for answering! I remember the conversation between Ian and Keeble after Bobby was sentenced and Keeble saying that the family had been through enough so she wasn't going to take the case any further. Nice sentiment and all but when you think about it, how many man hours went into the case? How much money was subsequently wasted for the investigation and Max's court case? I am sure there were other cases they needed to be getting on with but because of that high profile case they put them on the back burner, if I were the head of the investigation I don't think I would be too amused!

As for the original OP and the question of Lauren blackmailing Jane and co, there's no point. I say that because it's fairly obvious to anyone that Jane knew the truth, that's why she covered for Max and gave him an alibi because she knew he wasn't guilty and who the true perpetrator was. And even if for argument's sake Lauren DID attempt to blackmail them, all Jane and Ian have to turn around and say is 'Well, you also knew the truth so if you try and take us down, we'll drag you right along with us!'.

And wrong though it was, Jane and Ian had a decent excuse for not telling the truth. They'd lost Lucy and did not want to lose another child even though it became clear Bobby had serious issues. Lauren allowed her dad to get sent down for murder knowing that he was innocent in order to protect a boy that she had no familial ties to.

I hope not cos there have been more than enough blackmail plots recently.

Plus Steven has stolen all the Beatles money.

I am not sure why Lauren is at the Beatles or with Steven but it's not for love

Agree that Lauren is in no position to judge. What her and abi did was far worse and as much as I like Lauren I'd like to see her and abi at least acknowledge what they did was wrong. At the moment they still think max is to blame for everything that's happened. I definitely don't want him returning and all is forgiven.

To be fair to Abi though she never knew the truth and genuinely thought her dad was guilty of murder which is why she disowned him. Lauren on the other hand knew full well he was innocent yet sat back and watched him get sentenced to life for a crime he didn't commit.

So far up, she's been coming out their mouths, back into the backsides again and is in a constant loop as we speak.

As much as I don't want that to happen, I am very fearful it will. Either that OR they'll make Max out to be the unreasonable person in this despite the fact he's the one who has been wronged here.

I don't like Abi but very fair point there.
