Current Episode Discussion VI

[Lizzie Brookes]

I don't think Ian is being very considerate towards Jane's feelings at the moment as he plots his revenge against Steven for accusing him of trashing his stall. Jane is obviously still petrified of Steven, and who can blame her?. Ian should have handled the whole CCTV thing without involving her. Seeing Steven wreck his own stall on the video must have worried Jane as he is obviously still not the full ticket and he is based right outside her back door.

I've got no qualms about anything Ian has done or said to Steven but I do think he should be a bit more discreet where Jane is concerned.

I agree about Jane but not about Steven. Ian should have been more considerate towards Jane who is naturally afraid of Steven and instead of focusing on a stupid revenge he should be looking after Jane. At least he could have watched the CCTV tape alone - still I think it's pointless to wreak revenge on soeone who was mentally ill and didn't know what he was doing. Even Sonia forgave Martin for running Jamie over which was muich worse than Steven getting deluded and locking Ian up but I agree with what she said - "Forgving you for killing Jamie was the hardest thing I ever had to do but what was the alternative? Hate you for the rest of my life? What would that have done except mess me up? I couldn't let you destroy any more of my life Martin so I had no choice but to forgive you for killing Jamie" - shame Ian doesn't think like that. I'd be a bit warmer toward him then. I was sorry when he went through all that persecution etc but now he's back to being a pathetic little weasle who neglects his wife and tries to get one over on Steven just as he usually does with Phil - he has learnt nothing from what he went through. Jane had a point when she told Steven the problem was that Ian doesn't realise how much Jane and his children love him.
