That bit with Stacey felt like a 'Kat' moment to me. She just brushes her self off, and get's back to the badgering. It's like nothing phases her! Classic Slater style! lol.

Wonder what Bradley would have to say about it if he found out?!

It's not about her getting on his nerves though -- people have got on his nerves before. Danny did nothing but get on his nerves, but he hardly ever reacted like that, and if he did it was an attempt to get Danny to calm down. So it's nothing to do with Stacey, and all to do with Jake losing control.

Stacey needs to back the hell off anyway. Last week in the caf when she said Jake "looked really damaged..not." How the hell would she know? Fine, tell Jake to stay away from Ruby, but she has no right to just expect Jake to tell her everything that happened like it's any of her business.

Yeah I agree, it's none of Stacey's business what happened in Essex. But she's a typical Slater isn't she?! Just like Kat! lol. And if a friend or family member is hurt, they think it's up to them to find out what's happened and 'sort it out!' lol.

Stacey's one of my favourite characters, so I find it difficult to pass judgement. I think she'd be a good friend to have!

Jake grabbing her, was his nerves wound up so much from her badgering, he'd just killed his brother. He also found out he was the one who killed Dennis, he doesn't want any of that coming out. Ruby acting like she does, she's thinking he's like her dad when he's not, its hard for her as well cos she knows what happened until Jake got back and didn't tell her he'd killed his brother.

Stacey should respect Ruby's wishes and keep her big nose out of what doesn't concern her, if and when Ruby wants to tell then she can say something.

Oh no Jake's turning into Danny! Re the way he sat on the bench in the square just watching Ruby and the look on his face..scary

I see Jake has been shopping again and brought himself a lovely *Thud* brown pinstripe Jacket now to add to his collection of Pins, so far he has a navy one, black and now a brown one...yum. Blue (shirt) and brown are really his colours he looked very sexy last night (oh and purple)

I am loving Jakey even more now I just love his brutal streak, the anger and dark side which is coming out. The scene in the bookies with Stacey was great she really is being a cow to him, but there again she wants to know what is up with "St Ruby" You could see real anger on Jake's face. Liked it in the Vic when Charlie was talking to him and yes BK I got the fact too that Jake was talking about himself, where Jake just got up and started to walk away then turned round to Charlie and said "Oh sorry have you finished" then at the end when Charlie said about Ruby and Jake went stay away, stay away. Don't worry she won't even know I'm there.

Jake really has lost it and lke Stacey said going off his rocker, but is it any wonder? Mean he shot his brother, Ruby is being a total cow, along with Stacey and Charlie and every time he sees Grant he sees Danny and all this on top of everything else which has happened to him lately. I suppose with Ruby it is the same every time she sees Jake it reminds her of Johnny. She ws a right cow to Jake when he was just trying to get on with things and he made the mistake of mentioning the word normal to her, Ruby just rubbed salt further into the wound by reminding Jake that nothing would be normal again.

Loved the first Jake scene with Pat when he was flirting with her and trying to get on with things. Hate Charlie, Stacey and Ruby for pushing him further over the edge and into total darkness. Thank god Grant saves him and hopefully when this happens Jake will lose this "Unhealthy" obsession he has with Ruby and will return to being Jake (by getting Danny out of his body!!!)and have a normal healthy relationship with her where he can care for her but each lead their own lives.

As for Joel - Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Forgoet to mention I'm loving his hair at the mo, epec lsat night with all those waves..*Um* *yum*

I thought Joel Beckett's performance last night was outstanding and he looked totally divine in his suit yumme and his hair your right is great too

Joel = Amazing. Just fantastic. To have Jake as a complete lunatic, quite creepy, yet still show above it all that he's hurting so much is just...brilliant.

Like I said, slightly creepy with Ruby and the invading of personal space (not as creepy as pervy Danny of course). For once I am actually understanding of Ruby -- on one hand I'm asking why Jake doesn't just say "I shot Danny because he had a gun to Grant's head." But if Ruby doesn't know that and with the obsessiveness I can understand her not wanting Jake near her.

Jake...oh, wow. That scene with Ben, saying his big brother would take care of him. And the scene before that when he was so good with Ben and then Pat had to go and mention Danny. (Side note -- Jake would make such a good dad. When he's not crazy of course.) And the scene with Grant, and the end and the scenes with Pat and everything and...just fantastic. *is slightly stunned...may come back tomorrow with more coherant comments*


Edit: Forgot to mention. Did not like Grant acting like Jake was a child throwing a tantrum. I can understand it from Pat because she doesn't know what's going on. But Grant knows what happened, knows Jake saved his life at the expense of Danny's, but doesn't seem to understand just what that has cost Jake. Yeah, Jake did the right thing...but his little brother is dead at his own hand. He's not only got to deal with the fact that Danny is dead, who despite everything was still his brother, but the fact that it was Jake that shot him. I hope Grant's more understanding on Thursday's ep -- hopefully he will be when he sees the state Jake's in. :crying:

My thoughts exactly he was brilliant tonight!

From the Digital Spy spoilers:

Thursday, April 20
Jake is told that he has power of attorney over Johnny's estate until Ruby turns 18. How will she take the news?

Friday, April 21
An embarrassed Jane avoids Grant like the plague while Jake has a proposition for him. Ruby finally sees sense where the monetary situation is concerned.

It was mentioned in the mags that Grant gets a job offer, and from the PO spoilers for the following week it sounds like Grant is involved in Scarlet’s (Jane goes there to look for him).

So to me it sounds like Grant is either running or working at Scarlets. Obviously Ruby will own Johnny’s estate, but Jake has control over it until she’s 18. I hope Jake will be involved in the club as well though, maybe him and Grant running it together like Babe14 suggested?

I wonder why Johnny gives Jake power of attorney? Surely Ruby does have some other family – maybe on her mother’s side. I think out of everyone in Walford, Jake would be the one Johnny would trust to take care of her, but why does it have to be someone in Walford – I’d have thought Johnny would want Ruby well away from there.

yes! It sounds like Jake and Grant will be running scarlets together and looks like it is Jake who may be suggesting it to Grant. I've been thinking (AGAIN) about Jake (just for a change) and Grant's possible (looking very likely) friendship and can see some commical moments between the two of them. First we had Jake/Danny, then Alfie/Jake (aww he really could do with him now) which provided us with some lovely commical moments and now I can see the same with Grant.

Just thought about the propositon that Jake makes Grant, maybe to be his housemate? Afterall the Vic is a little crowded. Now that would belovely to thave them living and working together. Would Jake still be working at the Bookies though? Perhaps he would be working there during the day and at Scarlets at night?

I can just see Jake and Grant "wheeling and Dealing" down the club!!

I am very happy at the mo as we are actually seeing a lot of Jake and it is his turn to dominate the soap. Also I have noticed that Jake is sort of getting like 6 storylines in one. Instead of having one person grieving insaneably, another being obssessive etc, someone else going off the rails, Jake has all this in one big storyline. Nicely done.

Haven't seen last night's yet as the electric blew up this morning grrrrr. :angry: Still I can sit and watch tomorrow, I knew I couldn't wait until Sunday!! I'll still be watching the omnibus though:D
