I thought the same. I guess we're now supposed to think that Abi suspects Max of double bluffing.

Hopefully this inconsistency will be explained. I think she genuinely does suspect Max because in my opinion she acting like someone who's reluctantly telling the truth. Also, it'd be out of character for her to be so cold-blooded as to frame her own father. That's an evil thing to do!

Yes, it certainly appeared that Peter told Lauren about Bobby at Lucy's graveside, so I'm going on the assumption she knows. However, the writers could legitimately retcon it since we didn't hear the actual words.



I think Abi genuinely thinks Max killed Lucy.

Everything seems up for retconning. Dominic's era started off quite well in the continuity stakes but now he even retcons his own work.

I wouldn't find it convincing at all. Lauren wasn't going to go with him so he must have said something pretty big to get her to change her mind. I think Lauren even thought that Peter might have done it so she'd have to know the truth to trust him again.

Yeah. Typical soap thing of audience finds out who the culprit is and all other residents conveniently stop worrying about who did it. In the episodes I have seen, I can't remember Abi showing any signs of being concerned about whether he might have done it between February and now. The same goes for Mick last week, suddenly deciding that what Ian said that night bothers him.

Abi has changed, she stalked her own sister and she is so obsessed with Ben and him wanting, loving and needing her she wants Ben out of jail

I must admit I'm not so sure Abi thinks Max is guilty after Monday's episode. She still seems torn to me, so I'd say she thinks it's a possibility he did it, but she doesn't really seem to care too much either way. The manner in which she off-handedly said the police would let him go if he's innocent was pretty callous!

I know Abi's changed a lot from the nice girl she once was, but I still think it's a major character transplant for her to frame her own father for murder (if that's what she's doing). Maybe the whole point of the Max conning Ben storyline was to make Abi hate her father?

I forgot about the drop of blood that fell on Max's shoe (I think it happened when Lucy fell over and hit her head in the car lot office). It's definitely Lucy's blood, so there's going to have to be a major new twist to get him off the hook now. Jay's still in the frame of course...

I don't think Lauren's going to be involved at the moment because the truth about Bobby would come out. I can't see that happening because, from what I've read, twisted Bobby is going to be a long-running storyline for the Beales.

It is possible that under pressure from Lauren to get her dad off, Jane "confesses" to the murder to protect Bobby and tells Ian and Lauren not to tell the police it was Bobby. That would still leave EE free to develop the Bobby Beale as a twisted psycho story. Mind you, I've not heard about Laurie Brett leaving any time soon.

[tammyy2j]

I hope the writers don't forget or ignore the fact that Lauren and Peter know it was Bobby

Max is Lauren's dad and also the ex husband of Tanya who is Jane's best friend and Tanya is also on good terms with Adam aka Ian too

[parkerman]

I don't think they will forget about Peter and Lauren knowing and this could well be the key to getting Max out.
