Current Episode Discussion VI

I agree he hasn't realised the extent of what he has done and that he is still not fully well but i can''t believe the medication and counselling haven't helped at all. I mean if you have high mental resistance you can just about make counselling ineffective but high mental resistance doesn't work against medication. Besides why should he mentally resist counselling when he himself admitted to being unwell and chose to get counselling? I don't think he is worse now than he was when he did all those dangerous things but I agree he is still not fully well. I am sorry for him though. Actually - it's weird but the very fact that he is unhinged makes me want to sit down and talk through my own problems with him. I think the clinic thought he was better - he certainly seems calmer now than he was before - he needs a friend to talk to, not just "nana" Pat.

How long was he at the clinic? The state he was in he would have needed much longer before he would be well again. Also, he may need to take the medication for life, depending on what it is that's wrong with him. If, for example, he has schizophrenia, he won't ever be better but the medication will help keep it under control. As soon as he stops taking it he will just revert back to how he was.

He was orginally scheduled to only return in December. I think the producers brought the date forward because Steven is such a popular charecter and Aaron is such a popular actor. Anyway it's a soap. It isn't supposed to be completely realistic. Nobody for example would lug a coffin into a guy's back yard in real life - unhinged or not. I don't think he has schizophenia because I don't thinkhehas hallucinttions or hears voices. I just think he was quite delusional and is less so. Yes we are allagreed it was stupid of himto quit medication but I suppose the medication did his head in - still he should not have gone off it. I don't think he is dangerous any more though - may not be fully well but he wouldn't pull any more stunts now. He is a bit better though not completely recovered. I can't wait till Monday and I'm definitely watching the omnibus tomorrow.

I love the Jase stuff, and the scenes between Jane and Tanya were brilliant.

I was so sorry for Steven tonight though I fully understand why Ian and Jane reacted as they did. Going to the police station took a lot of guts and shows his repentance is genuine but if he had handed himself in Lucy would have got into trouble for lying. Ian should be spending more time looking after and supporting Jane rather than being so obsessed with Steven and keeping him locked up in the clinic and all the rest of it. I can't blame Jne for being scared. Ian was quite rough and harshh but obviously from his viewpoint Steven was there, Jane was getting distressed and he was protecting her. Desperate as Steven is to make amends he should perhaps have given them a little more space. Clearly he has to earn their trust seeing that he hid his psychosis nd put on an act before but mesed up or not I cannot and will not believe he would intentionally hurt anyone. I saw no signs of aggression today. I wanted to give him a hug when he stood outside the door and said Ian couldn't turn his back on him.

By the way have they found that dog, Chips? The last we saw him was October 4th when Steven left the gate open and the dog wandered out and never came back.

Liked the Steven scenes. So Roxy is jealous of Dawn/Jas as is Garry by the looks of it maybe they should get together. Garry was hilarious last night as usual.

By my calculations no more than 2 weeks is all he got ,, the kid was off the rails, and he should have stayed in for a lot longer period of time. The medication was given to him for what ever ails him, they did not give him the pills for no darn good reason.

I really liked last nights episode,, they sort of gave us a micro mini cliff hanger ( before Tel and Bird and their rowdy men barged into the Vic ) I have a feeling we are going to have something WORTH watching this evening,
I think Jase is our new eye candy , I think he can actually act,, and hes good looking too...Ummm the shirt he bought must have come from the ALFIE MOON line

You are so right.
Uhm I think I missed something while watching fridays epi. Did Jase P*** off Tel and Bird because they look up to no good. What happens if they find out that jase is not at the Vic? It is going to be worth watcing.

[JustJodi]

Jase did not think he pxxxed off Tel when he told him he wanted out of the motely crue,,he told Tel he needed to focus more on Jay and all that stuff, Tel hugged him,, so Jase went off thinking he was FREE of the thugs he hung out with in the past. But my guess is Tel's group is some what like the American Mafia,, once u are in u are in for life,, that sorta thing...
Jase ends up in the Vic some how tonight,, guess we will hafta wait and see how he stumbles in on his old crew at work ?????
