Good God.

Well if Jane is the one to be shot - accidentally I suppose - then I think Steven oes to prison bt I'm confused as I heard the actor is staying long term and yet there is no way back for Steven from such disgrace.

Steven takes the twins out of school and takes them joy riding with Jane's car. Jane goes mad and tells Steven to leave and keep away from his brother and sister - later that night Lucy goes missing. Steven takes her to the flat were he is keeping Ian hostage and Lucy is over the moon to be reunited with her dad - she is later shocked when Steven pulls out a gun on them both. Lucy texts Jane who rushes to the flat and punches Steven as she bursts in. The gun drops and as Ian and Lucy both dive for it - it goes off. Who has been shot and will they survive?

From Inside Soap.

Odd as All About Soap says Steven shoots her but this seems to suggest either Lucy/Ian do.

I thought Steven only pulled the gun out on them when Ian tried to ring the police. In a hostage situation - I may be wrong - but the last thing you do is call the police. This is because the captor either acts on the fear of being cornered and caught or on the belief that the person he or she is holding captive is dangerous. If a person locks you in a room and holds you captive, the best thing to do is to be submissive. In this case Ian (and Lucy) should do whatever Steven tells them to - surrender their mobiles to him, put their hands up and turn round slowly, or whatever. If the captive obeys the captor, does not become angry and makes no atte,pt to become a danger to the captor by ringing the police or trying to escape, there is a slim chance the captor will spare their life. If the captive is a danger to the captor then the captor would kill them or attempt to kill them anyway.

Look at the way in which lisa dealt with the situation when after Sharon left him Phil went mad and took Louise. Mark and pauline were angry and wantedto call the police but Lisa was gentle and patient with Phil and he gave her bck Louise. It is a real shame people in EastEnders do not think.

Thanks for the spoilers by the way. I think its a shame if they keep Aaron only for this small storyline - I mean it is such a waste. He has real acting potential.

its like the real life miss marple

Does anyone know what happens to Steven at the end of next week then?

I do want him to pay some kind of penance for what hehas done to Ian. As Jane is the one to be injured when the gun accidentaly goes off I assumed Steven wen to psychiatric prison but it can't be if Aaron has signed a 6 month contract. I suppose as he didn't mean/intend to kill anyone and the gunshot was ccidental and f he repents, he could just about get away with an offical police warning which would also square with the actor staying long term.

ian starts telling the emergancy service about what happened at the flat before he can tell them that steven was the gunman lucy comes up with a story and tells the police that a mugger wanted ian's wallet and shot jane in the struggle! lucy starts off with the lie and ian is forced to go along with it!
anyway to cut a long story short ian puts steven in a private psychiatric clinic! source: 'whats on tv' magazine

I'm glad. I didn't want him to go to prison. He's ill not evil and he would have a complete mental breakdown in prison. Despite feeling angry with him for the chaos he has caused I was sorry for him when he struggled to tell Lucy what was going on tonight.
