Current Episode Discussion VII

[Lizzie Brookes]

Lucy is such a spoiled brat. At least in Steven's casse you can say that when he did those terrible things he was mentally unwell and so didn't have much control over his actions but Lucy is far from being mentally ill. They seem to have reversed roles now. When Steven was ill, Lucy was calm and mature and stood by him and made him see that his actions were wrong. Now Steven seems to be calmer and more adult while Lucy is the rebellious teenager. I know Tanya is naturally siding with her best friend Jane but I can't agree that Steven is still causing trouble - he's not. He wass going to call the police I think but then something happened with the mobile (I didn't quite see) and of course Ian's mobile was turned off. Good thing Steven notified Iasn even though it was more because the police wanted to speak to him. Sean called Steven a "stalker" - f course he was joking but I'm not surprisedSteven was a bit taken aback - after all during his mental illness, Steven did stalk Ian even if Sean and Stacey don't know. I agre with Sean. They don't need Max's money. They can be happy. I'm fed up with both Max and Tanya these days. Sean alone is decent out of the three.

I must have missed something, are we talking about the Sean that killed his father, who had people beaten up (I know he was wrongly accused of beating up Patrick, but that does not entitle him to order Deano to get a good hiding! ) and who in general is just a thug when he does not get his own way?

But Deano did get him back before he left.

[Lizzie Brookes]

True. I'm not saying Sean didn't do all these things and they were still wrong but I am saying in this particular case, out of Max, Tanya and himself he seems most decent at the moment because 1) he genuinely seems to like Tanya despite his poblems seeing that he told her things he has never told anyone, 2) Tanya is stringing both Max and Sean along but Sean is not doing that to Tanya and 3) Sean doesn't want Max's money, he wants a life with Tanya. Tanya and Max are using each other which is unfair on their children. So in this case Sean alone seems to be acting decently though I agree in other ways yes he is a thug and a bully.

Lucy really deserved that slap.... The spoilt, ungrateful little brat.

[parkerman]

Yes, but Ian did say that he was going to spend time with her when he thought he couldn't go to the Palace any more, then as soon as he found out he could get in he dumped her in favour of the Queen. I have a lot of sympathy with Lucy.

[Siobhan]

Yes, but Ian did say that he was going to spend time with her when he thought he couldn't go to the Palace any more, then as soon as he found out he could get in he dumped her in favour of the Queen. I have a lot of sympathy with Lucy.

Yes I have a degree of sympathy for Lucy in that regards cause Ian did promise he would forget the queen and spend the time instead with her, which is all she wanted, but how she went about getting revenge/attention/whatever was way over the top and not the right way to go about things.. She totally wrecked his house and really didn't care one bit

[parkerman]

Yes, but to her way of thinking, Ian showed that he didn't care one bit about her.

I can't excuse Lucy's behaviour at all. She is a selish, self centred, spoiled princess. My dad sometimes promises me things too and usually my dad carries out the promise unless something happens. In that case I am understanding and reasonable - two words Lucy doesn't know the meaning of. Tanya's mistaken. Lucy is trouble, not Steven.

[Siobhan]

Yes, but to her way of thinking, Ian showed that he didn't care one bit about her.

I noticed that... you seen the look she gave Ian when Peter won the mile.. she just wanted him to notice her and he said to her that she was his princess and nothing is more important than her then Jane shows up saying they can still go and it was a broken promise to Lucy.. with some bull excuse.
But as I said, it doesn't excuse what she did to the house inviting totally strangers to wreak it...
