grant comes home

Blondes swoons 💓💓

When will they find out babes is blackmailing

Is bobby going to be revealed as the killer as sure IAN won't do the cost Saver deal and someone - possibly Kyle will buy the restaurant

Will LEE have a std

What else is there?

Wiki says Robert

It was hilarious when the police officers didn't believe him. Even Bobby was getting annoyed.

Yes, I checked Wiki too.

However, I still thought he was called Bobby after a footballer and has always been called Bobby. What is on his fictional birth certificate is, I imagine, not known.

Am surprised that the Beale's have kept the jewellery box considering it killed their daughter and would incriminate their son.

I've said it before but I think the little lad who plays Bobby is brilliant. Although yesterday I realised how much he has in common with Ben.

Why was Sharon calling on her to protect the Beales, isn't she Phil's solicitor?
She doesn't want Bobby to tell the truth or the police will find out that Phil bribed the foreman of the jury.

I'm pretty sure Bobby was named after Bobby Moore (footballer, World Cup 1966 and all that) because someone or other was a big West Ham fan.

Gary (who originally thought he was Bobby's Dad) was a West Ham fan, which is why he named him after Bobby Moore.

I thought Bobby Zamora

Was thinking that about Jack. Surely he'd be trying to do something about Max! Unless they're in the middle of one of their rows.

"I'm in trouble aren't I?" says Bobby.
Well you've just admitted to murder and assaulted your mother so possibly....although this is Enders so maybe not...

Why did Phil bribe the jury to get Max sent daaahn? I missed all that bit.

I think - although even as I type this it seems a ridiculously thin reason - that he wanted to make sure someone who wasn't Ben got convicted so that the police would no longer pursue Ben. Does that sound possible?

(Because everything else is SO possible, of course).

Yes, the police first thought it was Ben because he mugged Lucy on the day and had her purse, or some such nonsense. At some point or another the police have accused pretty much everyone, while actually ignoring the person who has confessed.

I think Phil was still pissed off with Max getting Ben to sign the car lot over to him as well.

Thank god someone else remembers the whole Bobby/footballer thing!

I dunno why Ben was being such an arse about Max. He'd just found out his own brother was willing to let him go down for murder, but didn't believe he'd do the same to Max?

Ben is a total dick.

That young policeman interviewing Bobby was very, very irritating. I was willing Bobby to whack him over the head with something.

Do you mean the one with the curly hair? Thought I recognised him from somewhere, and then remembered seeing him on SCD. He is Kellie Bright's (Linda Carter) real life husband

No way! I love little soap facts like that. He's still annoying though

Am pretty sure he winked at Bobby a couple of times, and was trying to be all "cool grown up" as though bashing your mum in the head three times and causing spinal damage was like admitting you ate all the chocolates.

I'll go against the grain here and say I thought the policeman interviewing Basher Bobbie did a good job - he was trying to put him at ease whilst following procedure and getting to the truth of the rather more complicated than he expected matter.

(I wonder if he'll get any scenes with Linda?)

Optimist I thought the same- seemed trained/experienced in working with younger offenders (I know it's not real really)

Glad I'm not the only one, Bird !

The policeman was more Side Show Bob than Paul

Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot see how Bobby confessing to Lucy's murder would lead the police to find out that Phil nobbled the jury?

Kellie Bright tweeted that she doesn't get any scenes with him.

I was thinking how young he looked compared to her, so I googled and he's the same age as I am! A few months older, in fact Playing Linda Carter clearly gives one a fair few worry lines (unsurprisingly).

Ooh, love that someone on here described him as "that young policeman" I feel better about being 44 now!
