AAWWW Danny dies by accident, poor Jake glad the Mitchell brothers see how he's doing after.
Yeah, it's not like them to be so understanding is it?! I feel sorry for Jake, he does seem to have a lot on his plate. His brother dies, and then Johnny puts him in charge of keeping an eye on Ruby (well giving her money anyway, but it seems he may expect him to look out for her as well).Originally Posted by soapyclean
I'm confused about where Jake is working now? I thought Pat put Jake in charge of the bookies, but then he was at Scarletts the other night dealing with a 'supposed' delivery. Where does he work?!
Actually going by other spoilers, I think it's not Johnny putting Jake in charge (as I thought it was at first as well), but Jake taking on the responsibility himself.Originally Posted by littlemo
I'd say Jake's still working at the bookies. Mainly because if he's not, then who is because Pat sure as hell isn't anymore. I remember all the thing last year about how she was really good at it, and she really loved working there, but I don't think she's mentioned it for at least a month. I think the whole "delivery" thing the other night was just Danny being an idiot.

I got the impression that Jake worked in the bookies and when he recieved a text from an unknown number, thought it was Johnny because he is still in charge of Scarlet, and thought it would be best if he went along to see what he wanted.Originally Posted by littlemo
The Mitchells boys can be understanding at times, not very often admittedly. Yet they know what it would've cost Jake to accidently kill his brother, they wouldn't leave him to deal with it on his own.
Jake wouldn't work for Johnny even if Johnny paid him everything he had, the bookies was Dennis's and Sharons business.
Jake may have thought that Johnny would do something against him if he didn't go to see what he wanted, and went for that or purely because he was curious.Originally Posted by soapyclean
Stacey would understand what it would cost Ruby to phone the police on her dad, so she would be a friend to her.

DEAD BRUVS WALKING
The Mitchell boys go after Johnny Allen but then face being killed themselves
AS much as viewers will be hoping that the second coming of the Bruvvers Grimm will be as hilarious as their original return last October, this time the humour is at the expense of Philthy Phil and Grunt.
Even Grant Mitchell is a little bewildered to find himself inexplicably outside a remote country mansion and Phil telling him he is ‘confrontin’ the demons. Welcome to Johnny Allen’s’.
‘This is a joke,’ stupid slaphead says to porky slaphead. ‘You ain’t gunna sort yer ’ead aht by playin’ Knock Down Ginger wiv some ’as-been villain.’
Well, from the moment Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber set off into rural Essex on Monday to deal with ‘a situation’ – with Grant waving goodbye to daughter Courtney who’s staying with grannie Peg – you really do wonder what this expedition is all about.
They are the Batman And Dobbin of soapland’s comic book heroes. Five months ago they helped make sure Chrissie Watts went dahn for murdering Dirty Dirty Den. Now they want to avenge the slaying of his son Dennis Rickman.
Look,’ Grunt tells Philthy helpfully, ‘if you wanna wind somebody up, let’s go back to Walford. You can dangle Ian Beale off the roof of the Vic.’
For Phil, who is living with the guilt of sending Dennis to his death, and leaving Sharon without a father for her unborn baby, this is all a matter of honour. Ha!
‘The day that me an’ Sharon left for America,’ he reminds his bruv, ‘I promised that I’d get ’er justice. An’ that’s what I’m doin’ ’ere today…’
Villain Johnny Allen may be holed up in his rural hideaway with drippy daughter Ruby and a hi-tech security system, but that is soon breached by Phil simply reversing through the gates in his Range Rover and strolling through an open door.
For all Johnny’s paranoia, his only other protection is weedy Danny Moon – and frankly, you’d find more mussels on a jellied eel stall.
Add the fact it’s the second anniversary of the death of Johnny’s wife and daughter Scarlet, and the whole business smacks of being some ludicrous gangland parody.
Ross Kemp and Steve McFadden can be fun as Grunt and Philthy, and there are lot of fights, car chases, revelations and sawn-off shotguns going off. But they’re let down by an unconvincing concept.
Told over this week’s four episodes, the big showdown comes on Friday when the bruvs are finally captured by Dennis’s real killer, Danny, and taken into the woods to be executed – unless Dan’s brother Jake can rescue them.
Dead bruvs walking? On their salaries, obviously not. But somebody else is taken out in a body bag…
