She has gone completely mental to say the least. It's not just normal teenage rebellion. She's a lot like her mother.

I must say, I would never like it in real life, but it was satisfying seeing Ian give her a slap back Laughing

This family needs some intensive therapy.

Of course, Steven didn't do that much to try and prevent the party. He was a big wuss when it came down to it.

she has lost her marbles. and she's become worse. I don't think we've ever seen her all punked up like she was. All she was missing last night was the Amy Winehouse eyeliner.

It seemed to me that the other "adults" in the square didn't think it was too big of a deal that there was an out of control party in their neighborhood. They seemed to think it was "normal". On the other hand, I may have missed the subtle "jab" at Ian, because they don't like him, so they purposely aren't sympathizing with him. They may think he got his just desserts. Ian may be a "pompous arsehole", but I wouldn't think he was as bad as to laugh at his obviously destroyed home where his children live.

I thought that as well pirty. But the ones who were watching were ones who don't care what happens to Ian. That's why it was Charlie that called. Charlie isn't as petty as that lot.

I was thinking about this a bit and I think what they are trying to do with her isn't just turn her into her mother but show something about her age. She is at an age where a young girl really needs her mother and she was so young when her mother died. It's like she's grieving for her all over again. There is a lot of anger and resentment over her mother's death and she's placing all the blame on Ian.

True, but she must really really hate her father to let the house be destroyed like that. It's not just her that lives in that house. Money doesn't grow on trees. If she keeps biting the hand that feeds her, she may find a one way ticket to emancipation, unless they don't do that in England. Maybe a one way ticket to a foster home or juvenile detention center.

I totally agree Pirty. I thought that as well. I mean, there is no way they stayed away from her bedroom as well. They would have trashed the whole house.

Ian hasn't always handled her in the best way, but overall he does do his best to provide for them and love them. It should be interesting to watch the fall out over all of this because there is going to be some for sure.

The girl has as many issues with her father as David in Corrie does with his mother. It seems to be a combination of the teenage years along with things that have scarred them emotionally in their earlier life and the actions of the adults in not responding to the fact that their kids have mental scars. Lucy needs some therapy as soon as possible to stop her going any worse.

I agree with you Twirley. Those two kids (David and Lucy) both have committed such extreme actions, that they are in real need of therapy. I don't believe in therapy for myself, but those kids really seem messed up in the head to the point that it either harms another person physically or financially to an extreme. Ian will probably be strung up by the balls by child protective services for the slap he gave her. Maybe even have criminal charges pressed against him. That would be a good way to resent and hate your kid. Let's see how this plays out.

It was pretty satifying to see Ian give Lucy a slap. She is such a brat. All of what you guys have said is true and both sides are going to have to communicate a little better to get this resolved. I was heartened to see Ian give up his audience with the Queen when Lucy couldn't be found. I figured he would just chalk it up to her bunking off school, but he is actually doing the Dad thing...good for him. I hated to see all the damage to the house. They put so much work into it to update it from the "Lou Beale" days as Pauline never really changed much and for it to be destroyed really mad me mad.

Lucy deserved the slap from Ian and I wish he had smacked her some more. She is a right evil little cow. Her character is so rotten that when Ian had to go identify if the body was Lucy I was hoping it would be...yeah yeah I know that is awful but how much longer do we have to watch her being a selfish, rotten brat. Ian is one step up from pond scum but he has always done his best for his kids.

I don't think it's terrible misslisa. After all, it's a shows character. If Lucy had been on that slab I wouldn't have been sad for Lucy but for the family she left behind because of how she treated them.

And now they are making such a BIG deal about that little slap. It's not like he had her hanging in a closet by her thumbnails or anything. Everyone is making Ian feel like such a abuser and I don' think that it is fair. I actually feel bad for Ian...

Even Ian, when confronted with it, admitted to the police that Lucy has run away in the past. She'll be back, but the next time Ian isn't watching, her next stunt is bound to be a doozie. I'm thinking she burns the house down. next.
