Why is Ian going to attempt suicide if Bobby's secret is still safe?

Why is Ian going to attempt suicide if Bobby's secret is still safe?

I think you'll find, the way it's going at the moment, it's because Corporal Jones bursts in shouting, "Don't panic! Don't panic!" while Barbara Windsor reappears with Sid James and Kenneth Williams in tow making double entendre remarks about her....well,you get the idea.

Is Jay's ankle bracelet and curfew gone as how is he in the Vic for birthday celebrations

Jay was given the ankle tag for three months at the end of July, which means he should still be wearing it at the beginning of October. He probably has to be home by a certain time (it was 7.00 pm for someone I know).

Why is Ian going to attempt suicide if Bobby's secret is still safe?

Sounds like it's to do with:

"Later, Ian hears some harsh words when Sharon dishes out home truths about his disappearing act."

All the stress has probably made his previous mental health problems re-emerge. Or perhaps parkerman's explanation is more likely!
