So, im supposed to buy jay has no thoughts about ben using abi? even if he doesnt love abi, he could at least have some compassion..im not buying this at all. the way jay acted he didnt even react to maxs accusations. im convinced something has happened to make him react so cold towards/about abi. its not like he denied to phil he was jealous

Jay's hostile attitude to Abi may simply be because she's his ex. Former lovers often hate each other for no sensible reason. There's a fine line between love and hate as they say. I do think it's out of character for Jay though as Abi's done nothing that he could conceivably resent her for, but the simple truth is that love very often ends badly with people hating their exes.

I do think it's an interesting theory that there's something more to his hostility though, Mona. It'd be good if there was something concrete behind his attitude.

so annoying they cut ben telling phil

I know right lol. That was so annoying! I'm dying to find out the truth about what Ben and Jay got up to that night.

Ian was very cruel to Peter last night

I know it's bad, but I couldn't help smile when Ian said to Peter "look who's crying now". That line and Ian's facial expression were delivered perfectly by Adam Woodyatt. I thought Peter was pretty mean to Ian earlier in the episode but he's certainly correct that a lot of the family's dysfunctions are due to Ian's selfishness.

I must admit that I found Peter unconvincing and wooden during the episode which probably explains why my sympathy was with Ian.

I'm assuming that Fatboy's video was taken the night Lucy died and proves that Lauren lied about her alibi.
