Ian? - maybe he will come round, eventually. This was such a terrible tragedy though. If only he had not taken Lucy to that flat but handed both the gun and himself in, then maybe Ian would have dropped the charges given that Steven made the effort to hand himself in but on th other hand they wouldn't have reached that understanding. I am now guessing Steven was in this on his own though t one point a lot of people suspected Gina was in on it too though I never believed that.
I respect that you have a lot of empathy for Steven, he really is a tortured soul. I never watched EE when Cindy was alive, but listening to Steven last night, it sounds like Steven thought his mother could do no wrong. He even had a bit of a moment with Dot when she didn't say how wonderful Cindy was to Steven.

Steven was never 'right' though. I started watching EE about the time Janine was getting all those poison pen letters that came from Steven.
