Tanya's mistaken. Lucy is trouble, not Steven.

Here I agree with you and for someone who fully knows how Steven got the gun to shoot Jane, she wasn't showing any brotherly love last night

[Joanne]

Maybe Lucy figures that negative attention is better than no attention.

Is she really that starved of attention though?

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

But does your dad lie to you the way Ian did to Lucy about why they weren't going to go out on Monday?

Kinda.. look Peter has got his running which Ian took a huge interest in, Steven is Ian's little pet and he has him working with him and what does Lucy have???? She gets zero attention from him.. the only time she gets any attention is when she does something wrong eg Craig, Sindy story and now this.. If she is not getting positive attention, she is going to act out

Could she not get positive attention by being nice, polite, helpful like a lot of other 14 year old? Plus I think that she gets plenty of attention from Jane, Peter and Steven and now Christian is there too; no, I think she is a spoilt brat, sorry.

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.

That's just the way I see it too!

[Pinkbanana]

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

Yeah, people get disappointed and hurt all the time....children, teenagers, adults...thank goodness we dont all act like Lucy....

...to my mind Lucy's behaviour was inexcusable....

[Abbie]

Was it just me or tonight was Seans reaction to Tanya sleeping with Max a bit werid?

In what way?

No.. Sean really does love her.. how would you feel if someone you loved promised nothing was going to happen with their ex and then they tell you that they slept with them.. you would be devastated too... He loves her.
