Monday 15th October

With his family in turmoil, Ian is left with an impossible decision.

Tuesday 16th October

Ian and Jane struggle to come to terms with devastating news. Ronnie and Roxy start making plans for the future and Kevin is irritated by a new arrival on the Square.

Thursday 18th October

Peggy ruins Ronnie and Roxy's plan.
As the wedding day approaches Bradley begins to feel the strain and the Masood family move onto the Square.

Friday 19th October

Peggy's problems begin to close in on her. Minty is rushed to hospital and Bradley's wedding planner stirs up trouble.

I found some more spoilers as to what happens in the comming week or two:

* Jane tells Pat that Steven tried to kiss her
* Steven moves in with Pat
* Steven persuades Lucy/Peter to bunk off school, and Steven takes Jane's car without her knowing.
* Jane is frantic that Steven has taken the twins, Steven takes them to a place where his mum Cindy use to take him, and starts saying bad things about Jane to them
* Lucy asks Steven to dispose of Craig's gun that she has
* Jane realises that Lucy has vanished along with Steven in the night, Steven has taken Lucy to Ian, Ian is overjoyed to see her, as he thought he's been left to rot
* Steven says its over (kinda lets Ian go), but Ian decides to call the police thats when Steven flips
* Lucy calls Jane
* Jane rushes over to the flat, burst straight in and punches Steven
* Steven pulls out the gun to scare them, Ian and Steven fight and gunshot is fired in the struggle, we know its Jane who gets shot
* Lucy begs her dad not to tell the police it was Steven
* Ian tells the police, that he doesnt know who fired the shot
* Jane is in hospital and has some life-changing news

And I'm guessing - I could be wrong - that Jane's life changing news is that she has to have her utress removed so this means she can't have any children. This is really sad - all of it. Despite my glimmers of compassion for Steven he has caused such havoc that it would be awfully hard for anyone to forgive him though I am hoping that after Ian has him setioned and he returns, some kind of redemption is possible.

Maybe it could be cancer? But then again the devestating news bit does suggest kids..I think :searchme:

Here's Monday's. I'm in two minds now. I'm angry at Steven and I think he should realise that his actions ruined everyone's lives not just Ian;'s but on the other hand as he is obviously ill I am intensely sorry for him.

Monday

As a shot rings out, Ian moves backwards and sees his hands covered in blood. Jane collapses – it's her that took the bullet. Steven stands in the corner of the room, devastated by what's just happened.

As Ian calls for an ambulance, Lucy tends to Jane. When Lucy hears her dad asking for the police, she snatches the phone off him and tells him that they can't tell the authorities it was Steven. Jane screams in pain, while Steven runs out of the door, leaving Ian even more incensed that he was before.

The ambulance arrives and the paramedics prepare to take Jane to hospital. Lucy, meanwhile, is talking to the police, giving them a 'description' of the man that shot Jane. Ian, however, looks on in anger. In the ambulance, Jane tells Ian that Steven's got mental issues that he needs to help him sort out, while, back on the Square, Lucy returns home with a police officer and both are shocked to see Steven sitting at the dining table.

Lucy is blunt with Steven and tells him that his actions hurt everyone around him, not just the person who he's trying to punish, prompting Steven to break down. Lucy realises that she's way out of her depth.

At the hospital, Ian and Jane have an emotional conversation before she goes into theatre for her operation. Later, Ian is shocked when Lucy turns up and tells him that Steven's in the car – she didn't know where else to turn. Steven needs help.

Elsewhere, Pat has relentless trouble trying to get Peter and Bobby to sleep but it later shocked to hear the news about Jane.

So does Ian have Stephen sectioned?

Yes I think so. It is for the best. He's not evil, he's ill. My heart went right out to Steven in tonight's episode. If only Jae han't come just then Ian would hve hugged Steven and Steven would have cried on his shoulder.

I thought the whole thing has been really well done - and the actor playing Steven portayed all his emotions really well.

hmmmm so u think THAT Jane might be pregnant ??And the baby was also SHOT ?? Not far fetched as it has happened in REAL life before ????:searchme:

Too much of the same thing tonight i think, was rather bored and just wished the episode would hurry up and end, i liked Steven by the end of the episode and hoped he would sort things out with Ian and Jane

I read in Inside soap today that Ian tells jane they will try for their own baby once she gets better, so i agree with you here that she gets news she cant have kids, This would be an extremely sad storyline.
I hope this experience will bring the beal family closer together but if This is Janes case then maybe it would put the pair into further turmoil.

I suppose they do have more than enough children anyway and I'm not saying that to be harsh. I am sorry that this happens to Jane of course - nobody deserves that but after all Ian has two sons, a daughter and a stepson and Jane has 4 stepchildren - more than enough surely.

It's not the same as having your own children tho, and that's what Jane always wanted.

I know - but these things do happen and nobody intended this to happen. It was an accident.

Here's a more detailed Monday episode synopsis which I ound on another website:

Jane fights for her life after being gunned down by Steven. As blood pours down from the bullet wound in her stomach, she is dangerously close to death.

She is rushed by ambulance to the hospital for surgery, and Ian is frantic with worry that he is about to lose his wife for ever.

“During that desperate struggle in the flat, the gun just went off!” says Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian. “Ian wonders whether Steven shot Jane on purpose or whether it was an accident.

“At this point, however, Ian’s first priority is Jane and getting her to hospital before it is too late.” At the start of the week, Jane drops to the floor after taking the full impact of the bullet, and Steven runs away from the scene.

While Jane is being carried into the ambulance, Lucy lies to the police about what happened, in an attempt to protect big brother Steven.

“Lucy tells them a completely different version of events,” explains Adam.

“She makes up something about a mugger who was after Ian’s wallet.” Before Jane is taken into the operating theatre, emotional Ian tells her how much he loves her * and that he wants to have a baby with her! Jane gives him a huge smile.

“At that moment, Ian has realised how much he loves Jane,” adds Adam. “He wants them to have a child and for their family to be complete.” Ian assures a shaken Lucy that Steven, and the gun, are now gone. But later when she returns to the family home, Lucy is stunned to find Steven there.

Troubled Steven sobs as he admits the frail mental state he is in. Lucy convinces him to come to the hospital to tell her father about it.

Ian furiously confronts Steven in the hospital car park, but when he too realises that the boy is sick, tears of sympathy well up in Ian’s eyes.

“It’s then that Ian realises something isn’t quite right with Steven,” reveals Adam. “When Steven opens up, Ian feels for him. He seeks professional help for the lad.” Ian books an emergency appointment at a private health clinic. Steven seems relieved when he hears he can stay there for treatment.

Later, back at the hospital, the surgeon breaks some devastating news to Ian.

“The doctors working on Jane ran into major complications. What Ian is told is going to have repercussions for the whole family,” explains Adam. “It will take Ian a long time to get over this.”

I really hope - I am sure - I don't think any of them will hate Steven. I am sorry for Jane and ian too of course and Lucy but most of all for Steven. I think they can get through this. At least Jane is alive even if she can't have children and both Ian and Lucy realise and perhaps Jane too that Steven is sick not evil. Pat would definitely realise that so, come Christmas - who knows. I know Ian and Jane will be devastated theycan't have children but if they think about this the right way they at least have each other and I'm glad Steven gets the treatmet he needs and deserves. I think Lucy is stronger than the other three and can cope better with the situation and hopefully she will be nicer to Jane now.

The gun going off, might have been an 'accident', but it was one that could have been avoided. Steven brought about the situation in the first place that led to that 'accident' happening...:nono:

I feel most of all for Jane, she is the one that has got shot and (we think) has lost the chance of ever having her own child now. She was also put through hell by Steven, as were Ian, lucy and Peter. But Jane is the one, who in my opinion, has and will continue to live with the consequences of Steven's actions more than anyone else...

Sorry I have absolutely no sympathy at all for Steven, he should not have even brought the gun with him to begin with and Lucy should not have given it to him,, she could have walked down a canal and tossed it in and no one would have known about the gun,, nooooooo she gives it to her twisted half brother for disposal..So now it has caused an "ACCIDENT":nono:
I would want to see Steven SECTIONED ... but can Ian have him committed ( since he is not a kinfolk) Would Simon have him sectioned ..... I am guessing NO,,,
Lizzie I know u have an extreme soft spot for Steven,but not at one time did I feel bad for him..And none of this was Ians fault , you remember how hard he tried to Keep Steven with him and from going to New Zealand,,Ian loved that kid,, but now,,,,,,,,,,hes going to find it hard to even look at him .. for what he put his family thru,, Just my take on all of this .......:searchme:

JustJodi - I never said it was Ian's fault. Of course not. He always tried to do his best by Steven and I have nothing to reproach him with. I just felt sorry for Steven because he is mentally ill but don't call it an extreme soft spot - of course I can't condone his actions. They were wrong and twisted but he's not evil. He has mental problems that need to be sorted as he himself admits on Monday. He wasn't going to use the gun against any of them remember - he wanted to kill himself. He repented and wanted it over. You can't blame Lucy for giving him the gun. She naturallty trusts her older half brother and did not know he was unhinged.

I had the impression that Steven and Ian reached some kind of understanding before Jane came in. If he had not een mentally disturbed I would want Steven arrested and locked up but reading what happens on Monday and seeing Friday's episode made me pity him. He would probably be shocked that he injured Jane. He didn't mean to do that. It will take time but they will all forgive him eventually i am sure of it - I am disgusted that Steven locked Ian up and then flounced back into Walford "like a knight on a white charger" knowing all along that he was the cause of te family's unhappiness but I think prison would worsen rather than benefit him. Once he is better i am sure he will try his utmost to make amends.
