Eastender current episode discussion IV

I think in some ways Bobby is relieved to be able to be honest

Yes, that's the impression I got too.

Do Mick and Linda know about Bobby? There's been so many that I've lost count.

They've only just found out since Bobby's very public confession. They weren't in on the cover-up.

How has Bobby still got the jewellery box or know where it is?

The last time I remember seeing the jewellery box was when it turned out to be the mysterious present under the Christmas tree. Perhaps Bobby took it and hid it? I hope it's true he knows where it is because I can't imagine Ian being able to protect him if the police get hold of it.

Jane buried Lucy's phone and wallet under the floorboards, and Phil later handed them over to the police.

Mick has had his suspicions though from something Ian said to him a long time ago...though I can't remember what it was he said now!

P.S. Inspector Marsbar was never convinced of Max's guilt as far as I remember. Maybe she plays a role in all this?

It was at the end of the live episode. Ian met Mick in the street and said something along the lines that he knew who killed Lucy. Mick questioned him about it a few episodes later but Ian made some excuse to placate Mick. I'm pretty sure Bobby wasn't named.

I think Mick put two and two together when Bobby confessed and realised immediately that he was telling the truth, whereas everyone else (apart from Stacey) dismissed what Bobby said because it made no sense to them.

P.S. Inspector Marsbar was never convinced of Max's guilt as far as I remember. Maybe she plays a role in all this?

I hope so!

I think it's premature to say that, and anyway it's moot now the police have heard Bobby's confession.

However, suppose that surprising twist hadn't occurred: Mick and Linda have only known for a couple of hours at most. I think most people - on hearing something so shocking about a friend's child - would at least wait to confront their friend about it before going to the police. They don't strike me as the types who would keep quiet long term (they're not criminals or easily intimidated), but it looks likely we'll never find out now.

That's true, I'd forgotten about that. However, I still want to give him the benefit of the doubt because I think it's possible he'd want to stop rumours spread until he'd spoken to Ian, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'd go along with the cover up.

They've sabotaged plenty of other characters for this storyline of course, but I like to think DTC would stop at doing so to the characters he based on his parents.
