Eastenders Spoilers 13th July - 17th July

[Dazzle]

Ian's mum was raped so he's probably more inclined than the majority to believe Linda (or be bothered enough to side with her) even though Dean was never charged.

Surprisingly, Ian doesn't believe Linda. He made a comment to that effect a couple of months ago (just after Jim's funeral I believe).

I don't normally post here, I just like to keep up with the spoilers, but people mentioning Dean getting away with the rape... am I the only one who thought his recent pairing with Roxy was going to lead to him either confessing to raping Linda or trying to rape Roxy, all whilst Ronnie's spy cam downstairs captures the lot on film? Just some assumptive guesswork!

Hi Anfunny

I think Ronnie's cameras could still catch him out. Her paranoia over Roxy and Charlie seems to be over now, and I'm hoping the whole point of that storyline was to put the cameras in place to catch Dean out. I don't think anything's going to happen soon though as it unfortunately looks like Matt di Angelo will be in EE for the foreseeable.

Meanwhile, Nancy heads out with Linda - wanting to give Lee some space so that he can speak to Mick about his problems. Unfortunately, various dramas at The Vic leave Mick distracted and make it difficult for Lee to find the right moment. Things get worse when Lee realises that he has left the door open and Lady Di has escaped, which infuriates Mick. Fortunately, Lee manages to find the Carters' beloved dog at the allotments.

Later, Lee makes another attempt to speak to his father but ends up playing the role of confidant himself when Mick opens up over his own fears. Nancy gets angry when she returns home and realises that Lee still hasn't said anything to Mick, but as she tries her best to force him, Lee pushes her and she falls down.

Elsewhere, Stacey helps out Shabnam at a birthing class and reveals that she is pregnant. After some encouragement from Shabnam, Stacey speaks to Martin about what she wants.

[Perdita]

Looking at Ian on the photograph I get the impression he has been having too many fish and chips

[tammyy2j]

If it is a new suspect it could be Dean

[sarah c]

If it is a new suspect it could be Dean

and he gets convicted and banged up for ever!!!!

and Jane and ian say nothing because they know he is a nonce!!

[anfunny2003]

It's obviously Max. He has no job and no home and the actor has already left for a 12 months break...

Oh dear. I wouldn't want to be Ian and Jane then. I mean, I can understand them lying to protect their son, but setting someone innocent up to take the fall...that's not right! And there's no way they can keep it secret, as nothing ever remains secret for long on EE, and how's Bobby gonna react one day when he finds out he really killed his sister and that someone innocent took the fall.

If true, this would be the second time that Ian's lies have put Max in prison...
