Also would Ian really stay with Jane even if she was protecting Bobby after covering up Lucy's death, I think it push them more further apart, he would resent her
So many loopholes in the storyline
I dont think Bobby will remain"dormant"Quote:

Some parents wouldnt like their child to

When adult psychopaths are diagnosed
and more of their life story comes to light -
they are often found to have committed
serious crimes as a child.But no one knew
or few suspected!!
If this is the route for Bobby to be" evil"
then as so many "know" but are doing
nothing - he will have to be found out
in the relatively near future??
Not the decade or more it sometimes takes?!

I was thinking about this the other day.. what would you do if your son killed your daughter (abet not a nice one), would you go to the police? From what I can tell it wasn't premeditate so I would bring my son to the police.. As he is just a kid, I don't think they would send him to jail. Or would they?? Maybe therapy and a social worker to keep an eye on things
All very logical and most likely what would have happened in real life but does not make for a good storyline in a soap
I think it would with most children andQuote:

- but I would have thought time in a secure

I thought this was what Jane& Ian were
concerned about as could be lengthy process.

They also don't want Lucy's death on his conscience - but they might come to realise he doesn't have one...Quote:

I agree. It's the same with a lot of things with kids; if you're forever cleaning up after them, they'll never learn. Of course it also depends on what's actually wrong with Bobby. I said once in a previous forum that Bobby might possibly have IED, a psychological condition where the patient literally can't control their rage. They can be calm and in control one minute, and suddenly explode with anger in the next. These anger outbursts usually don't last long, and the patients apparently feel something like relief or even pleasure while they're going through it, only to later feel remorse once it's passed. During these outbursts, they can be capable of virtually anything, from mere shouting and cursing, to inflicting physical harm on others. From what I've read about it, Bobby seems to have all the symptons.Quote:

I am very happy to say that my son is a millions time better and is very calm and loving. However, anything could have happened to me or my daughter when he had these outburst (always made sure my daughter was somewhere safe when my son would freak out) but I never ever covered anything up nor would I.Quote:

The Boarding Schools' Association (BSA) has accused the BBC soap of propagating a myth that boarding schools are "corrupt".

Bobby is miserable as Jane and Ian prepare to say goodbye

The plot was branded "fanciful and damaging" by the group that represents roughly 500 independent and state boarding schools across the UK.
Responding to the claims, a spokesperson for the show said: "EastEnders is a drama and although we cover real life issues, our characters are fictional.
"At no point has EastEnders ever implied that Bobby Beale received his place at boarding school through anything other than merit. His father, Ian, merely suggested that he would like to make a donation in the hope of speeding up the process."
EastEnders continues tonight (January 28) at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Rumour is rife among EE fans that Steve Beale will return to the square with Lauren and threaten to reveal that Bobby killed Lucy. The rumours started because Aaron Sidwell (who previously played Steven) has recently started following some of the EE team and actors on Twitter (and vice versa).
It does make sense because Peter and Lauren have been staying with him in New Zealand, and would probably have confessed the truth about Bobby and the cover-up to him. He'd have no loyalty to Bobby (to whom he's not related) or to Ian and Jane after his last disastrous appearance in Albert Square when - among other things - he stalked Ian, shot Jane (causing her to be unable to have children of her own) and eventually left after being completely rejected by Ian. I think he was also close to Lucy, so is likely to be furious that Bobby killed her. Steven is a total loose cannon and would undoubtedly cause untold trouble for Ian and Jane. :D
I'd love to see the character back so I'm hoping this speculation turns out to be true. :thumbsup:
We can only hope, Dazzle!
Of course, the cast would then be severely depleted as Bobby, Ian, Jane, Kathy, Phil and Sharon, maybe Abi, could all be spending time at Her Majesty's pleasure! I'd also get European arrest warrants out for Cindy and Liam. Peter, if he comes back, should also be arrested. Lauren is the only one who could escape as she did tell the police. Police Sergeant whatever his name was (sorry, can't remember) could also be in trouble for not following up Lauren's "confession".
The courts are going to be very busy round Walford way.
You never know, you may get your wish because new EP Sean O'Connor could be planning a huge cast cull so that he can introduce a whole plethora of new characters. :DQuote:

Also there was the Mitchell family lawyer Ritchie Scott, inset.

But with Jake Wood, 43, set to return as Max this summer after a year-long break, it looks like he could soon be a free man if our exclusive pictures are anything to go by.
The Who Killed Lucy Beale? storyline was EastEnder’s biggest ever whodunnit.
Bobby was eventually revealed as the killer on the soap’s 30th anniversary.
Devoted step-mum Jane covered up the crime by dumping Lucy’s body on Walford Common.

Bosses have already teased that it will be a “big year for the Beales” with the return of Jane’s brother Christian, actor John Partridge, and her mum Linda, played by Lynda Baron.
Rumours are rife that the storyline will also see the dramatic return of Aaron Sidwell as Ian’s eldest son Steven.
He was last seen in Albert Square back in 2008.

An EastEnders insider said: “Bobby knows he killed Lucy but his parents shipped him off to boarding school in a bid to protect him. “
He may have killed her but his parents helped cover it up and watched as an innocent man went to prison.
“So they too could face charges.

“And like most things in Albert Square, the truth will eventually come out and it’s going to have a huge impact on the Beale family.”
The Who Killed Lucy? storyline was the brainchild of the soap’s top boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins who bowed out in style on Friday following his “gut wrenching” decision to leave earlier this year.
The Archers boss Sean O’Connor has been lined up to take over.
Our source added: “Dom oversaw the soap’s momentous 30th anniversary which kicked off with Lucy’s murder.
“The storyline was always going to be revisited before Dom handed over the reigns to Sean, and the fans will not be disappointed.”

richie wouldn't represent jay but will bobby or is most of the square up for concealing the truth
I think we already know the answer to that one!Quote:

Jane (Laurie Brett) and her husband Ian decided to cover for Bobby after it transpired that he killed his half-sister Lucy back in 2014, but his behaviour has continued to cause them concern ever since.
Although the couple believe their problems with Bobby are behind them since placing him in a boarding school, they will be given a devastating reminder of just how troubled the youngster really is in upcoming episodes.
When Bobby overhears Jane and Sharon talking, he learns some upsetting news and decides to take matters into his own hands. A furious Bobby is soon taking his anger out on Jane's car, but no one is prepared for what happens next.

Things will take a sinister turn when Bobby loses his temper yet again, leading to devastating consequences that will change the Beale family forever.
Further storyline details are being kept under wraps, but it will undoubtedly pave the way for the returns of Christian and Linda Clarke. Aaron Sidwell is also reprising his role as Ian's oldest son Steven Beale, with his return likely to be linked with Lauren's as well.

About time! Hopefully this will start the conclusion for evil Bobby, as I am so sick of waiting for the end.
Does he kill again?
That is what I am thinking too ..but who would be his victim if he does?Quote:
