Bobby Beale

Who's that?

One letter to the right on the keyboard.

I don't know why I didn't just right it but it feels like a spoiler. Her mum and brother coming back into it briefly? Funeral? Trial of the person who murdered her.

Jane hopefully.

Friday's episode of EastEnders ended in dramatic fashion, as Jane was left unconscious on the floor after Bobble Beale (Eliot Carrington) brutally attacked her with a hockey stick.

Oh Bobby, what have you done?

It's not the first time Bobby has violently assaulted Jane (Laurie Brett), but viewers were shocked at the level of violence. Many took to social media to voice their outrage over the brutality of the final scene - which even included splattering blood on a wedding cake - all before the 9pm watershed.

So wrong...what you thinking...before the watershed....just not right, even as a massive fan. #eastenders

@BBC I think the writers/producers of Eastenders have lost their marbles. The recent events before the watershed are disgraceful. Get a grip

#EastEnders was a bit violent for pre watershed

However, the BBC has defended the decision to air the violent scene before the watershed.

A BBC spokesperson told the Mirror: "EastEnders is a fictional drama and our millions of regular fans who tunie in each week know and expect dramatic storylines.

"However, we are always mindful of our time slot in which we are shown and we ensure all scenes are editorially justified.

"The scenes in question were the crescendo of a long running storyline that has shown Bobby to have previous violent tendencies."

In Friday's dramatic conclusion, a furious Bobby was tipped over the edge after finding out that he won't be able to attend boarding school because the Beales are no longer selling the restaurant.

In the trailer for next week's episode we see Bobby's hands covered in blood as he comes to terms with his latest vicious attack.

I think maybe the issue is not knowing if she was beaten to a bloody pulp or actually killed.

The complaints feel like a bit of an overreaction to me, although I agree the brutality was unexpected. However, we didn't actually see anything apart from the blood spatter - our imaginations and the sound effects did the rest.

It'll be interesting to see just how Bobby reacts in the aftermath of Jane's attack.

If he's a (relatively) normal kid with serious anger management problems, everything should come flooding with the pressure of police questioning together with his remorse. If he really is a serial killer in the making, he'll be able to hold his nerve to some extent even though he's still so young.

Assuming residents on the square find out the truth about Bobby's attack on Jane, wonder how long it will take for little Miss Abi to realise Bobby may also be responsible for the murder of Lucy and that she is mainly responsible for the conviction of an innocent man and will do something to rectify the matter.
