Inside Soap Spoiler - Lucy Beale

Now I know this is not technially a spoiler - but I did not want to put it in General in case someone did not want to read it as it does give a little away - anyway will stop rambling now:-

Prepare yourself for the most explosive week in the Beale's history, as Ians family turmoil reaches its shocking conclusion. This summer, the secrets and lies spun by members of the embattled clan will be blown apart leaving fans asking whether Ian and Jane have any hope of picking up the pieces after the terrible fallout.

Jane and Ian are almost beside themselves following Lucy's devastating vanishing act. But there are Plenty more twists and turns ahead, as the frantic couple discover more about whats really happened to their absent daughter in the weeks since she dissapeared from home and became a teenage runaway. "Before she went AWOL, Lucy felt nobody cared about her or understood her - especially her dad," explains our source. "Things will only get worse when Ian learns the real story behind what Lucys been through. Viewers have seen him go to hell and back wondering where his troubled daughter is, but the truth is so shocking that its going to give fans some totally unmissable drama!"

In a soap mag I bought this week... Soaplife I think it may be? There are pictures of Ian, Lucy and Steven at a train station I think.. or airport maybe, as Ian finds Lucy about to leave the country.. so she's not dead eh. Soaplife also said that MAYBE Steven leaves the country instead.. there is also a pic of him looking as if he's leaving (I hope so!).

Well I know you don't like Steven and I respect your view but I'm sorry he's leaving as he is one of my favourites. It's hard to see how Steven is invloved in whatever happened to Lucy though because he was in Walford the whole time that Lucy disappeared wasn't he? He is still in Walford and Lucy is still missing. I wonder if it comes out that Lucy gave Steven Craig's gun. I hope so. Then Ian and Jane will finally know that he never intended to take a gun with him to the flat that night and that the reason he did was because he was too messed up to hand it in.

The scriptwriters obviously don't know what they are doing. Lucy rasn away because Ian hit her. How could Steven be involved in that. I suppose the writers will imply next she arranged that party and got those people to smash up the house because Steven asked her to. :rolleyes:

I could believe anything of Steven, as you can see he's not totally stable...but I'll reserve judgement til we see how the storyline really pans out.

Lizzie, Im sure the scriptwriters have some clue what they are doing and the storyline is leading up to Steven's departure...you really have put Steven on a pedestal. The character has flaws in his personality, which you seem blinded too. :)

I never said he didn't. Everyone has flaws. Even the best of people. I still don't think he's totally evil though. He just has problems.

i agree. i think stevens been ploting this the whole time got side tracked by the stacey christian thing but who knwos with eastenders they often twist it into weird unheard of unrealistic plots. no doubt this would be one of them too.

I doubt he was plotting the whole time. Its so stupid to take him down the David Platt route - it would completely destroy the charecter. Last time it was a bit obvious, not onlty because he was revealed as the stalker but he also had that funny look in his eyes and he smirked quite a lot and there was all that shakimng. This time there is none of that. I'm still ery annoyed that they changed Steven's charecter completel;y just to make good drama but then again the scriptwriters are so inconsistent./ Long ago Billy used to bully Jamie and now he's had a complete U turn personality. Minty uised to be horrible to Laura over the rent but now he's become completely gentle and kind - senseless but this is EastEnders. Anyway the plot sounds very slipshod.

1. Lcy holds party. Strangers trash the house. Steven tells Ian and clears up. Steven witnesses Lucy and ian arguing. Lucy behaves like a spoilt brat and Ian hits her. She disappears.

2. Now we are supposed to believe her disappearance is part of Steven's master plan despite the fact that he would hardly have had time between the time that Lucy wrecked the house and vanished and despite the fact that he's been working in the cafe and hanging round with stacey and been in the square so much that its hard to believe how he managed to hide Lucy, provide for her and everything else without anyone noticing he wasn't around and thinking it odd.

3. Pat ends up in hospital when Roxy accidentally breaks her leg (goodness knows how) and we are supposed to believe that Steven is some super villain who can con his way into a hospital full of people and attack Pat supposedly because she finds out he is hiding Lucy somewhere and for no apparent reason.

Anyway if he were doing all this surely the audience would pick up on it - he would smirk or look uncomfortable but no we are supposed to believe that an eighteen year old is a criminal mastermind. Even if I didn't like Steven which I do, I would still say this plot is over the top - bit like Tanya going crazy and burying Max. And his relapse is based on his having stopped medication a few months ago - even if he did surely his relapse would be gradual. Honestly. :rolleyes: I am not saying Steven is perfect - nobody is. He is flawed like everyone else. It was bad of him to lie about Christian for a start and smash up his own stall and blame Stacey and Ian for it. And whatever happened to Lucy while she ran off it doesn't excuse her behaviour before she left - she acted like a spoiled brat.

I bet she is in the same or similar building he was hiding out in...

They dion't find Lucy in the block of flats though do they? But ty[ical EastEnders - all this is so far fetched. I hated the Friday episode where Tanya buried Max and Sean was so cold blooded about it. It was only the emotional scenes on Monday 24th that made up for it. It's just like that. Wonder why lots of people seem to hate Steven so much. I'm not convinced he is a psychopath or evil. I won't believe the storyline till I see it though because all the other times the magazines exagerated it so people would buy them. One time a magazine implied Steven was obsessed with Stacey and it turned out he sketched lots of people and not just her. Actually sketching someone doesn't necessarily mean you are obsessed with them - you ight just be idealising them. Also quite a bit was held back during the stalker storyline such as the shooting being accidental and the fact that Steven was going to commit suicide. I reserve judgement till I see evidence.

Because you hate Steven? I don't think it is as simple as that though. I don't believe that anyone could fool a mental specialist into believing they are better when they are not. I think he did get better for at least a while. And if he has been planning it all along why did he try to kill himself? It was just chance that Stacey saw him and followed him. He made sure he couldn't be found when he tried to set himself on fire. Why did he try and leave the square after he found out about Jane's inability to have children? It was chance that Ian went after him and reconciled with him. He didn't know Stacey would tell Ian about his attempted suicide. It would be more real;istic if he relapsed after going off his medication than that he planned it all along. There is one good thing though. Steven can't be any worse than Sean.

I actually don't hate Steven.. I just think that he is still ill and needs more treatment.. Did Ian tell the doctors why he was there?? I doubt it.. maybe he is not over his past and with his confused sexuality (which was shown before Lucy left when Christian was chatting him up) put him over the edge..

Thanks. I don't think Steven's evil. It's bad of him to lie about Christian and they are keeping the Lucy spoilers pretty quiet. Steven is much better as all the shaking has gone and his eyes look less funny but I agree he could do with a bit more help. I hope he's not leaving for good and will be back one day - it would be a waste otherwise. They can't kill off an eighteen year old who has so much history in the square.

I don't know about the Shaken and stuff.. he still get very angry when things don't go his way.. look at how he was when he didn't get the results the first time he slept with Stacey.. he got mad and angry and frustrated which lead to him kissing Christian... I dont' think that is an normal reaction... embrassed but not the behaviour he had
23-04-2008, 12:47
Lizzie Brookes

I agree he still has a bit of an anger problem. Oh the shaking - didn't you see the stalker storyline. I was referring to when he was shaking like mad on the sofa when he first got back on September 28th and then in the car on Monday October 15th when he first admitted he needed help. All of that has gone now - the shaking and the kind of manic look he had but I agree that he should take anger management classes to sort his anger out and talk to a professional about his sexuality. He seems to have got over Cindy though. All i don't understand is how he had enough time to hide Lucy away inbetween the time that Lucy hit Ian and the time that she disappeared and how he managed all this without anyone noticing or thinking something was odd. I mean half the time he's been around the Beales and Stacey. Wouldn't they notice if he disappeared a while and then turned up?

I think he's behind Lucy's disappearance, who else could be helping her? And he is supposed to be returning to his "dark side" shortly.

I know Steven and Lucy are very close and if Lucy were to contact anyone it would be Steven but Steven can't really be blamed for helpiing Lucy I suppose and if she made him promise not to tell Ian and Jane where she is what can he do? I can't hate him. I can't condone if he does wrong but if this is true I think he needs a bit more help.

well yes he can be blamed.. He was quick to tell Jane Ian hit lucy and he knows the angish his father is going through.. what person prolongs this agony and doesn't say a word?? Lucy is a missing teenager, he could be held for preverting the course of justice

Totally agree with you Siobhan. And how can Steven and Lucy be close when he tortured her with pictures and letters etc. of her dead mother and shot her step-mother? And I am not that convinced that it was an accident like most people on here seem to think. If he did not want to shoot anybody he should not have had a gun in his hand in the first place. :angry: Lucy just saw Steven as a tool to get her way with Ian in my opinion.
23-04-2008, 16:39

I don't think most people on here do think it was an accident. I've always said why did he take the gun to the flats in the first place? Nobody made him do it and it makes not a jot of differance whether Lucy gave him the gun or not - he did not have to have it on his person when he took Lucy to see Ian.

It was ages ago that he pretended to be Cindy. Lucy knows he was unwell then and they are close because she was the one he confessed to. I loved that scene in the dining room when Lucy made him understand that his behaviour wasn't normal. As for the gun - it was definitely accidental. He was trying to kill himself remember and they all tried to stop him - with all four struggling over a gun of course it went off. Its true Lucy used Steven to get at Ian by inviting him to her party etc. Steven tried to hand the gun in but backed out because he was ill and confused.

Well he is still slightly unstable and if he thought Lucy needed to stay away until things calmed down...that's what Stacey told him to do and hes likely to misconstrue that...besides didn't Little Mo know where Zoe was when Zoe ran away and she didn't say anything for a while?
