Current Episode Discussion VI

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes. that makes sense. If Steven was 11 or 12 in 2002 then he must be 16 or 17 now. New actor playiong him in that case. Also we know he was always a strange boy but I onder why he would go to all the trouble of pretending to be his mum and writing to his foster sister and father, returning from New Zealand and stalking Ian. I mean what's the point. I didn't actually recognisehim at all so I wonder how so many people guesed it was Steven Beale. I didn't give Steven a single thought since he left five years ago.

Glad we got to see him! A very creepy and excellent episode!

[Lizzie Brookes]

Yeah it was creepy all right and brilliant. I'm definitely watching the omnibus tomorrow.

[Chris_2k11]

I dont know what the casting department were thinking, he looks nothing like the other one ?

[StarsOfCCTV]

That episode was great (out last night just watched it)....can't believe they managed to string out that Ian scene for 10 minutes

Still, bit creepy! The end was soo annoying he just said "can't be!" Do we defintately know who he is yet? Is it Steven?

Spoiler:

I'm guessing that they deliberately made it so that the new Stephen is nothing like the old one, because would have wanted to string it out for as long as possible, which they are doing as we don't find out it is Stephen until Friday when Jane closes the door only to come face to face with him.

vhew - scary. I reafd the stalker described somewhere as "a dangerous individual who is capable of anything" - but why Ian did not keep all those notes and things as evidence and go straight down to the police station I don't know. Of course he had to ascertain first that it was not Lucy being a teenager but once he realised it was a genuine stalker he should have kept the evidence and gone straight to the police, not just rung them up without evidence.

You took the words right out of my mouth, how stupid this all is. But hey it is soaplnd.

Also, when the police asked him to go down to the station he said he was too busy!

Well in that case they are doing a good job
