I agree. He was going to confess to Jane but then realised what that confession would do to Jane as well as Peter, Lucy and Bobby. It was a terrible situation for him to be in and I think he made the right choice.

[Siobhan]

Maybe he should have talked to Phil, explain that he is over a barrel but then what could Phil do.. hold him over a barrel too until he didn't have to pay the load anymore?? Tough choice but I think he made the right one too

[Dazzle]

I'm not sure he made the right choice - this being a soap it's bound to come out eventually. Also, he'd promised Ben to extend the loan a couple of hours beforehand. He should have stuck to his guns and called Archie and Janine's bluff. After all, he was in a terrible state after Jane left him and I'm sure she would come to understand why he did it eventually.

To be honest, though, it was totally in character for Ian not have the courage to stand up to them, and I don't ever want Ian to stop being a weasel - Adam Woodyat is so good at it!

Does Ian know he's only in a soap and it's not real life then?

Think about it.. Jane knows Ian's past with Janine.. yes she left him but for him to go off with Janine would be a big insult.. could he risk that?? (you are right about him been a weasel.. I love that about Ian too)

Hmm, I didn't word that quite right, did I?

I still think that Jane will find out sometime and it'll really hit the fan then.

[Chris_2k11]

Course she'll find out, these things always come out. I cant believe Ian was stupid enough to fall for Janine's tricks in the first place, everyone knows what shes like by now.

[tammyy2j]

Ian can always take in Phil and Ben when they are homeless

Jane had an affair with Grant and Ian forgave her - he should have been honest and told her the truth

[Chris_2k11]

"Get ya own stamp" haha

[Johnny Allen]

I just love Archie, coming into the vic with Janine like that.
