:rotfl: I read that as an embarrassed Jake avoids Grant like the plague.

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.

I still think that there is more to Johnny and Jake than we know:D Thinking about it there is a lot of "bad" blood between these two right now, espec. as Jake shooting Danny was all down to Johnny and look at how Johnny destroyed Danny.

"Daddy theory" will never die! :cheer: :p Actually quite oddly, while there is bad blood from Jake's side (ie, he hates Johnny) I do think on Johnny's there's still some respect for Jake. The scene where Johnny phoned Danny and Jake answered, Johnny asked straight away "Jake, where are the Mitchells," almost like he was expecting Jake to snap to attention and tell him. :searchme: Or if not respect than a weird sort of trust, or maybe he just knows that Jake will do the right thing which in this case would be to take care of Ruby. :searchme:

You've hit the nail on the head there Johnny respects Jake, even though Jake has told him to go to hell on more than one occassion. (I'm still sticking with the possible Daddy theory:p )

Now I've been doing it again and come up with another theory about this offer Jake makes Grant, yes I would still like the possibility of them being "housemates" but I've been wondering if as well as handing Ruby over to Jake if Johnny will also hand the club over to Jake along with the house he lives in. This would be good and show signs of things actually being on the up for Jake because he would have his job at the Bookies, Alfie's stall, his own house and his own club!! Perfect. Jake Walfords new business man along of course with his new mate Grant.:p

(Sorry I've gone into "Theory" mode again. I guess it's all the Jake stuff that has got me going again and JAKE CERTAINLY GETS ME GOING:wub: )

:rotfl: :rotfl: That would be an interesting one:lol:

I don't think Jake will get money from Johnny's estate, as it's still to go to Ruby -- it's just that Jake's controlling it until she's 18. So I think if Jake is running the businesses he would get paid wages, but any profit would go into the estate and then go to Ruby. :searchme: I'm not a legal boffin though so I don't know.

But I suppose it has solved the rent problem, :p


I'm not sure if I want Jake running Johnny's businesses full time -- I'm really enjoying the interaction with him and Pat in the bookies. Maybe he could do both -- and Johnny must have had people working for him and running things on a day to day basis, seeing as we never saw him doing anything like collecting rent or what not.

Yeah but then he won't be holding the estate and businesses for long as Ruby turns this year dosn't she?

Yep, Ruby turns 18 in October I think. :)

So then if she does turn 18 in october Jake won't have hold of the house and buisnesses for very long will he?

About six months. A lot can happen in six months in soapland. Also if they try to convince me that Ruby is capable of running a business even at 18 I will laugh and laugh and then possibly laugh somemore.

But no, generally it's not that long a time.

Well I got to see Tuesdays epi this morning and I LOVE Jake's character the way it is developing and this brutal dark side which he has, the character is/has developed exactly how I hoped it would. Poor baby he really has lost it and it's quite scary really espec the Ruby stuff.

Loved the Bookies scene and it was a reallyheart touching scene with Ben, aww he really liked Jakey and when Ben asked Jake ifhe could come back and Jake shook his head, touched Ben's arm gently and said take care of yourself. Now it would be nice, with the Mitchell interaction coming up/developing if in the future we saw more Jake/Ben interaction.

Aww poor Jake when Ian was confiding in Pat about Ben, it was so Jake/Danny and just too much for Jake it was the final cherry on the cake. Unfortunately he saw Juley annoying Ruby and beat the hell out of him, loved it. I thoughtit was funny when Juley didn't really take any notice of Jake's threats and said your gonna have to kill me, thinking Jake would back off, but boy did he get the fright of his life and if it wasn't for Grant Jake prob would of killed him or put him in intensive care at least. I guess Grant seeing Jake act like that kind of reminded him of himself and what he used to be like. I actually liked Phil last night and liked the scene in the Vic when Phil and Grant TOLD Juley that he wasn't going to do anything. Well I can go on and on about this but I'll summarise it all now:

Like the way the Mitchells are looking out for Jake

Like the Bookie Scenes

Loving Jake's character more and more, I'm just finding him so sexy right now.

My heart is breaking at what Jake is going through espec as he feels all alone after the Ruby confrontation, she was his security but for now that has gone. Jake needs something/someone to hold onto.

Ruby/Jake scene very powerful and moving.

Excellent epi and Joel is truly really amazing.
