Lucy Beale/Ben Mitchell

[lankeela]

Told Ian she had to sell Bobby's games to buy food - er remind me again exactly what businesses she runs? The copper who told Ben he was going to be charged - surely he didn't give him the correct 'caution'?

[pips1]

That was absolutely ridiculous how Lucy had that man come to the house with papers for Ian to sign. He isn't of sound mind at the moment and that's just for starters, ridiculous!!

[sherrardk]

Wish he would take that hat off, does he sleep in it?

[ummmm]

Well they arrested him with murder, read him his rights, and charged him.

What did they do wrong?

[ummmm]

She's very slim. Some people are just built like that.

[ummmm]

I hadn't noticed.

[lankeela]

They didn't read the right caution, there was a bit missing in the middle about it being put in writing.

This whole Ian Beale/Lucy thing is really annoying me. Firstly, as if a girl that age would be able to control the businesses and Ian's lack of finances.

Also, Ian Beale needed serious help with his mental health when he came back. You wouldn't let somebody act like that without seeking some sort of medical help for the poor bloke.

I didn't see the programme but the wording used in England and Wales is ""You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

They have to condense everything into 30 minute slots. I'm sure they could make it more realistic but then how boring would those 30 minutes be if we had to watch the step by step process of someone being charged with murder.

As for Ian, I do agree that it just wouldn't happen but it's the same again. Do we really want to watch months of boring legalities and reports as someone is deemed to be sound of mind enough to make that decision? I don't.

/// Do we really want to watch months of boring legalities ///

Shouldn't that read "Do we really want to watch many more years of boring Eastenders"

[murraymints]

Pssst !...it's not real

[pusskin]

stupid story lines at times, but i love E/E --only soap I ever watch.
Its quite gripping at the moment lol

[EvianBaby]

Oh AOG, I wondered how long it would be before someone appeared with a hilarious and unique comment such as that.

[pips1]

murraymints - don't you get tired of posting that same comment - we know!!!

[wazzaa]

It it what it is....a soap. Not a documentary, so what if they get a few things incorrect. I mean, what do you want? Drivvel or documentaries, they're all available online, you know. ;)
