Eastenders - Current Episode Discussion - VIII

[maidmarian]

So Max is just able to go back to the Square and go to Jane's house without being seen....except by Brian Rix, Coco, Corporal Jones and Kenneth Williams of course.....

Youve mentioned many comical people in your
comments on this subject parkerman.

Just one possible omission-
In the court scene where Jane is providing
Maxs " alibi" -I thought a cameo performance
by Dick Emery going "Oooh you are awe-fullll"
might have been a nice addition!!

lauren should have told marsbar, keeble, marcus, abi and carol and all of the vic then went off back to peter in nz

To be honest, I don't think any of the detectives would have believed Lauren at that point, and I doubt Abi would have either. It would sound like a desperate ploy to get her father off. Carol probably would have believed after some convincing, and I'm sure Marcus would try to use it whether he believed or not.

How did Lauren manage to get a passport so quickly for the baby?

It is possible to get a passport urgently. You can get one within four hours of your application being accepted. I don't know if that would apply in Lauren's case, but I suppose if the writers know it's theoretically possible they might not think it necessary to look into it any deeper.

if detectives questioned jane she'd crack, bryant wants to punish max, lauren didn't make an effort after telling bryant

I agree Jane would crack quickly under interrogation, but I'm still not sure the other detectives would be interested in Lauren's story about Bobby unless she had some proof. As far as they're concerned justice has been served. Cases classed as solved aren't easily reopened, so I doubt they'd be interested in questioning Jane. They've moved on to their next case.

Lauren's best bet would have been to try and convince Marcus. He has the power to take it further and to find evidence that could be used for an appeal.

Wish Lauren had demanded to see someone else to give her statement, and told them how biased the other officer was.

Marsden would be have been better as Bryant and Keeble have it out for Max over Emma also though how can Bryant work on Lucy's case with Max arrested given their history and conflict over Emma

Emma chose Max and he didn't kill her

If Lauren had told about Phil paying off a jury member to Marsden she would investigate

Also Lauren could have gone to see Marcus after the police station instead of just leaving back to New Zealand

I still don't understand why Lauren wouldn't tell Abi and Carol the truth

she had some of emma's evidence notes about the case or were they destroyed, lauren just giving up after telling bryant was lazy script writing, she could have contacted marcus and threatened jane and went to the papers and other media outlets, stop at nothing to free her father like any child would do

She certainly could have done a lot more than she did. She gave up far too easily.
