Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

Surely Marcus's point about saying Abi could have murdered Lucy is to question the whole premise on which the police have built their case against Max and to show the jury that there is reasonable doubt that he did it as it could equally have been someone else. Lauren should be pleased with this line of questioning as it is designed to get her father off without implicating Bobby in any way.

In any case, what right has Abi got to be so self-righteous? She's the one that dobbed Max in it in the first place? Why shouldn't he fight back? And why Lauren should take Abi's side over all this when she knows the truth is completely beyond me. Bring on Brian Rix and Coco.....

The murder story is pretty crazy now. Abi was involved in scrubbing up blood and the blow could have been dealt by a woman ..( or a child... nice touch adding that bit) so should she be arressted and charged if Max is let off?
Maybe if Marcus makes more accusations towards her (as a way of clearing his client) then maybe Max says it was him after all? That'd make him the devil and a tiny bit noble at the same time. And it'd be a reason why there'd be no appeal and so no need to have him in it for a year or so. But how long would he get for that? Years and years surely.

I feel quite mixed about Charlie going. I think he came in like his dad - lying - and could have gone out like him too.
So has Ronnie bonded with Matthew now? I think that valium storyline is going to show she hasn't and that the child will need his dad to look after him.

I did see an ad after one episode saying something about they've got some plot maker thing online. Are they after new storylines cos they've run out of sensible ones? :-)

Funny you should say that! Because I did notice last night that Inspector Keeble said that the murder was probably unintentional as it was only one blow and not a heavy one at that. I thought it a bit odd that that should suddenly be introduced into the prosecution case and could mean they are leading to a manslaughter verdict instead of murder, which would mean less time in prison.........

Marcus picking on Abi as a prosecution witness cant be the reason Lauren is letting her innocent dad stay in prison, it is stupid that Lauren came all the way home to let Max stay in, plus how many times now has Abi lied and changed her story, she should he charged by now too

So has Ronnie bonded with Matthew now? I think that valium storyline is going to show she hasn't and that the child will need his dad to look after him.

I think the opposite, that she appeared not to have bonded with Matthew and was acting out of character around him because she was so stressed. I think her desperation to get him back in Monday's episode proved she really does love him. Hopefully she'll no longer need the valium now.

why did charlie leave dot and matthew he knows how bad ronnie can be he should stay and fight for him, i know declan was axed but what a stupid exit

[Dougie]

Jake Wood, one word, FANTASTIC !!!!

[tammyy2j]

I really feel sorry for Max, is Carol beginning to doubt his guilt now or does she herself feel guilty over his abuse by Jim as the oldest sibling

I agree Jake is a great actor

I wish Abi and Lauren were in court to see that side of Max

[parkerman]

G

is Carol beginning to doubt his guilt now

Well she said, "...but killer, no."
