Does the Ronnie/Jack thing remind anyone of Steve Owen and Mel?

You know what, now that you've said that, they do a bit

[Siobhan]

I like last night episode... showed a lot of interaction between character that actually work well together

You have Jack and ronnie, like to think they are oil and water but they are more alike than they think
Then Jean and Sean... mother/son thing gone wrong but still Jean will protect him and she hit a nerve with Sean when she told the police he would never come to her for anything.
Sean does have a soft side, asking Tanya to go with him was just to protect her from what is coming. He wants to kill Max but doesn't want Tanya to be hurt.. he is a bit of a heathcliff!!
And last Pat and Steven.. lovely and warm and get together... I like them too

[Lizzie Brookes]

That's a good point actually. At first I thought he was crazy but yes he does hate Max and he knows it'll come out sooner or later so he wants to protect Tanya. Yes he does seem like a bit of a Heathcliff. Good comparison that. Yes I loved the Pat/Steven scenes. Hopefully more Stevento look foirward to tonight.

Does the Ronnie/Jack thing remind anyone of Steve Owen and Mel?

Yes so agree

I liked the scenes between Pat and Steven. It must have been hard to Jane to see pregnant Tanya knowing she will never have kids of her own. I blame Ian and little brat Lucy. I really can't see how Jane and Ian's marriage can recover from this.

[Lizzie Brookes]

Yes it must be hard for Jane to see Tanya knowing she is now infertile and Tanya is pregnant. You can't blame Ian though - I know he's pathetic and takes Jane for granted but it wasn't his fault that Steven held him hostage for 3 weeks. Lucy was a bit of a rebellious teenager at first but when she found her dad she really started to mature.

[Siobhan]

everyone is talking about Lucy maturing been different, well you would be too if you knew that the gun you gave your brother cause that much damage to your stepmother to the point where she could have children of her own. Lucy feels guilty.. if she had not given the gun to steven, there would have been no accident

[Lizzie Brookes]

True. Maybe she should confess the truth - they wouln't be angry with her surely because she did not know Steven was unhinged and it might make Ian and Jane less angry at Steven. Remember they thought he had it allalong but he never intended to have or use a gun till Lucy gae it to him and he was slightly annoyed himself that Lucy gave him that gun - he wantedto get rid 0f it at first so it would not "mess with (his) head".

[Siobhan]

In her defence.. Lucy didn't know he was unhinged and she felt she could trust her big brother.. He should have gotten rid quick as but instead he chose to bring it along with him to talk to Ian... did he want to use it or was it just for scare tatics????

[Lizzie Brookes]

He was going to get rid of it but when he was questioned by the police he decided to keep it. I don't believe he would have used it against ay of them. He maybe intended to kill himself and only took it out to stop Ian ringing the police - actually that's quite natural. Anyone unhinged or not wouldsurely get the wind up if you threaten to call the police on them. Yes Lucy naturally trusted her older brother which you normally can, only in this casse it was unfortunate. Even when he was in that room with Ian talking, I couldn't help trusting that he would never use that gun against Ian which he didn't. If I were Lucy I'd probably have waited. If Lucy had waited then maybe they would have come to an understanding and certainly Jane would not have been shot. I'm not sure why but I seem to understand Steven quite well.

[Lennie]

No way was Steven going to use, he did say he came here to let Ian out now, but Ian wanted to call the police and thats when Steven got the gun out
