My heart went right out to Steven in tonight's episode. If only Jane han't come just then Ian would hve hugged Steven and Steven would have cried on his shoulder. I don't believe Ian was to blame. He did his best by the boy and was understadably angry but when Steven began to talk he seemed to get less angry. Was Steven going to commit suicide? I'm watching the repeat at 10 so I'll look carefully. I thought it was going to be really violent but it wasn't after all. That was a bad move on Luy's part - calling Jane. It would have been better if she hadn't. Ian dealt with it best apart from trying to phone the police. I can understand Steven and i know in hostage situations you obey the captor and the last thing you do is contact anyone - especially police.
I felt sorry for Steven. What he did was terrible but I feel sorry for him. I agree, Ian wasn't to blame. I don't think Lucy knew what to do really. Ian was stupid trying to call the police but then he didn't know Steven had a gun.Quote:

I had sympathy for Steven and Lucy and respected Ian to some extent. I didn't like what Jane did and Lucy wass unwise to do that - Ian would have told her not to. Even at thirteen I would have had more sense. Jane would be angry and overreact and that is the last thing either Ian or Steven need. I wanted to give Steven a hug tonight. He has just proved to me he is not evil, just unwell.
I suppose it was something we needed to see (as in we needed to know what Steven's issues are) but i was so bored
Bored? I was totally gripped. I even watched the repeat at 10 on BBC3 and I'm defiitely seeing the omnibus tomorrow.
I can totally understand Jane's reaction. She didn't know that Ian and Steven had come to some sort of understanding. After everything that Steven has put her through over the past few weeks, her reaction of elation and relief at seeing Ian coupled with her fury towards Steven I think was spot on.
I suppose, but she could have listened to Ian when he told her not to do anything stupid. Also Lucy didn't need to phone Jane at that point. She could just have waited. If i were Lucy that is what i would have done - just wait. If i were Jae, however angry I was at Steven and however relieved I was to se Ian I wouldn't have goaded Steven like she did or punched him because it is obvious the man is unwell and actually even Jane could have sensed the mood was calmer and seen that Ian was on the point of hugging Steven.
I thought last night's episode was brilliant! Even my husband who hates Eastenders thought it was good.
I can understand Jane's reaction - she had no idea what Ian and Steven had been discussing, only that Steven had been putting her, the kids and Ian through hell for over a week.
I wonder if there is any way back at all for Steven from such disgrace. I want to hope there is because I have compassion for him but it is so hard to forgive someone - brother, stepson - or not for causing such pain and creating such havoc.
