I feel sorry for Steven - he is ill not evil and that has been the key. He isn't some evil kid out to harm, he is ill.
Brilliant episode tonight. Kudos to Aaron. For his first big acting role, he has been a brilliant find. The bit when he said "Dad" and Ian left was very sad. Ian's devastation in the car was sad too.
Little Bobby is a star. He is so cute.
I was sorry for Steven too and I agree that a psychiatric hospital is better for him than prison. Steven finally called Ian "dad" after so long but its too late, it's just too late. Even if they manage to get through this after he is better - it will never be quite the same again. I can't blame either ian Jae or Lucy for being angry wiyth him - he has wrecked the family and acted against the people who cared most about him, yet he is ill and I sympathise with him. Jane guesed that Steven would have a mental breakdown and she turned out to be absolutely right. Any normal person if unhappy would have done the right thing, rung up and come home but Steven isn't normal - that bit about being confused between images in his head and reality was scary. I wish he could have apologised and thanked Ian for taking him to the hospital but I suppose he wasn't well enough. I wonder how Pat will react to the news.
Loved tonight's episode, the acting was superb from all, i actually thought Melissa stole the show tho. Hope we get some more episode's like this :thumbsup:
Why did the Police not query why the Beales were in a flat on the top floor of an abandoned tower block? They must have asked them for names and address details so would know that they weren't homeless squatters.
Thanks I was thinking of the same thing, the police are going to be really interested,,,cos Ian is there,, his wife is shot and his daughter is there and some unknown assilant has scarpered off .. Ian was reported missing by his wife and now hes up there in an abondonded housing complex ..how did his wife know to find him and his daughter ???Quote:

Also Ian told the Police on the phone that he knew who the shooter was. Lucy, as good a liar as she may be then tells the Police a **** and bull story which they seem to swallow completely, no questions asked.
Just what I was thinking. Lucy's story wouldn't stand up for a second.Quote:

As far as the Police are aware there is still a gunman on the loose - this has got to be followed up surely. Otherwise, just when Eastenders has been enjoying a purple patch for several months it will lose credibility again.
I wonder if anyone will tell Simon?
I thought the same thingQuote:

Does any one think that Simon will show up and take his mixed up son back to New Zealand ?? Or Pat takes him back ( isn't it about time for her to take a HOLIDAY ..shes loosing her tan lol )
