Not a single mention about MAX being locked up, whilst the Beales / Mitchells were debating what to do with Bobby.

Yes, I really cannot fathom, given what's happened to Denny, why Sharon would not now go to the police, given that Max has been put away for 25 years. Are we all just expected to forget this aspect of the story?

In a word - yes. They've written themselves into a corner with so many major characters covering for Bobby. If the truth comes out, realistically half the cast would be imprisoned. Once Bobby's out of the way in boarding school I'm sure it'll be a case of out of sight, out of mind (or at least that's what the EE team are hoping!).

I bet he ends up with amnesia just serious enough for him to have forgotten that Bobby killed Lucy, but no other ill effects.

Oops! That was a typo. I've corrected it now.

Well remembered!

It's looking more and more like Claudette is the true culprit, and I'd be very glad because Fatboy's horrible death makes Ronnie totally unsympathetic (even if it was unintentional). It also explains why Claudette disappeared overnight - so that she'd have an alibi.

I take back a lot of the criticism I made of this strand of the Christmas episodes if it turns out Claudette cold-bloodedly engineered Fatboy's death. Although it wouldn't change the horror of his death, at least there'd be a reason for it (as opposed to just shock value): to demonstrate just how evil Claudette truly is.

So was it Claudette's henchmen who killed Fatboy then not Ronnie's?

I don't understand why Fatboy would do a favour for Claudette and Vincent when Vincent was making him leave unless Claudette told Fatboy he didn't have to leave and she would speak to Vincent and end the Mitchell feud

Fatboy probably died accidentally somehow because of his claustrophobia.

I'm not sure whether she paid the henchmen to crush the car (meaning certain death for Fatboy) or if they panicked when they found him dead and did it themselves (as Vincent said). I now think the latter seems more likely meaning it wasn't murder on Claudette's part after all (although she didn't bat an eyelid at the news of his death). It's all a bit confusing!

She persuaded Fatboy to go and get the ice, possibly by saying she'd smooth things over with Vincent so he wouldn't have to leave Walford.

This is all speculation anyway and we can't know what really happened unless she says more.
