Actually this could be very interesting to see. Ruby thinking she's got everything in hand and doesn't need Jake, can handle it, only to find herself in very deep water. I.E made to be an "Escort" slowly losing control of everything, club etc.. This would teach the brat a very good and valuable lesson.Quote:

Putting aside my hatred of Brat, they do have the potential to have great drama between them. But it would have to come from Ruby’s issues about Johnny, and Jake’s issues about Danny (and the whole protective thing in general). Having there be conflict because of that, yet still need each other around is good drama. Her being a brat and saying “I want you to do this, that and the other, and oh, fire Grant because he laughed when I made googly eyes at him,” is not.
I wouldn’t want that to be Jake’s main storyline though, cos I'm sure we can think of better things for him to be up to. ;) :p
^ So I wrote that before tonights eppy, but didn’t have time to finish and post. And while the above still stands, tonights gave me an idea: I think they’ve hit on the perfect way to have Ruby involved in the club, and actually the show in general. Just keep her off-screen. It gets rid of the need to have a big dramatic exit storyline if she was to leave, but we don’t have to see her and we can enjoy our Jake scenes in peace. ;) So mention her, eg “Oh, Ruby said she’d be down at the club later,” or “Ruby said she’d babysit for you.” Yet she never actually appears. :thumbsup:
Only one scene with Jake. But hee! at teasing Grant about the “mystery” woman. (“Shouldn’t have phone calls in public then.”). And teasing him about Ruby’s crush. And aw, at Grant’s first pay packet, and Grant being cheeky asking for a raise. :lol:
Noticed the line about Jake telling Grant to make sure he behaved himself around Ruby. It wasn’t said threatening, just a friendly way, but still noticed it. I wonder if maybe Ruby tells Jake that Grant’s tried it on with her in order to get him fired. Evil if she does, and I'd hope Jake would talk to Grant to hear his side first. But just a thought. :searchme:
At the mo I'm watching Easties on a Sunday, which I quite enjoy as you have the whole lot together. If howeverit's a Big Jakey one then I watch during the week and Sunday!!:lol:
I was wondering the same thing about Ruby, BK, if she does tell Jake that Grant tried it on with her or something and I can see then why Jake would fire Grant. (oo just the thought of Jakey getting angry and steamy yummmmy:wub: ) Given how Jake must still be feeling I can see him acting first and thinking later. This could be the start of the "drama" between Ruby and Jake, the type of behaviour you can get between a brother/Sister. Yes I like the idea of Jake having a rebellious sister to cope with, but this must not be a Danny repeat where Jakey puts his life on hold and basically spends it mopping up again and allowing Ruby to screw it up just like Danny did. He must now have his own life as well as a surrogate sister to care for, like the Mitchells and their sister Sam.
I'm happy that Jakey is being used on a regular basis, even though it is just a scene or two this will keep me going until his next Big Storyline, where he has to dominate it, like all the other characters do when it is their "Big One"
I think this maybe a while coming though, because of all the new comings and exits:crying:
I've been thinking about something else as well, Jakey has a lot of Dennis' traits, don't you think? In one way they are turning part of Jake into Dennis but at the same time he is his own character, one which is very interesting and has many sides too, one which of course I like very much.:love:
I agree. Although I'd like Ruby to be nice to Jakey it would become boring. There has to be times when Jake isn't nice to brat too.Quote:

They could fight most of the time but, like you've said, still need each other and be there for one another when the going gets rough. ( there are very few perfect relationships around, most have drama and conflicts, whether it is brother/sister, sister/sister, mother/daughter, father/son etc.)Quote:

Like minds again??:rotfl: The list goes on and on and on..every day I think of something new for him to be involved in.Quote:

Aww I love it when Jakey is cheeky and playful:wub:Quote:

There are a few parties coming up, one of which is Billy's stag night where the new "stripper" character comes into the show (SJ), apparantly one lucky fella ends up with her, be nice if it was Jake but then I'm thinking maybe it could be Phil. I like the idea of Jake being kept "available" for now, this way he can flirt and play with all the new totty that's around:lol: :wub: (Time he had his kit off again:lol: ) So back to why I mentioned all this, before I got side tracked, is that we should see quite a bit of Jake.
So do I -- I love it when we get him bantering with someone as part of a duo. We used to get some great scenes like that with Danny and Alfie, I'm glad we're seeing it with Grant as well.Quote:

I was also thinking that about SJ (ridiculous name by the way, I really couldn't call anyone by initials) and Jake. According to Soaplife her stage name is Scarlet, which ties in with the club. But then it could be any number of the guys in the Square, I think there's about 8 or 9 single guys in there at the moment, :lol:
So let's think we have:
Jacob:lol: :wub:
Phil
Gary
Minty
Grant (it had better not be)
That's all I can think of. I'm going for Jacob or Phil.
There's also Martin (heard he's getting with Carly, so unlikely to be him), Gus (is boring), Juley (is skeevy), Deano (is annoying), Mickey (is helium filled), and Doctor Oliver (probably leaves with Little Mo, but I've not heard anything concrete).
Yeah, I'd probably go with Jacob (:p) myself, looking at the other options. I think Grant's most likely ever left or leaving by the time she comes in, so it won't be him.
I watch it on a sunday to and i think Jake and Grant proabley would clash i know they are good mates but they both have diffrent attitudes towards life althrough Grant seems to be nicer then he was the last time he arrived in the square. Jake's been through a lot which i think only makes him stronger.
It would be good actually for Jacob to get off with SJ and have some fun, it's what he needs right now, no tie, casual relationship.
I can just imagine them going out to dinner and afterwards going back to Jacobs for coffee and it comes to that moment and Jakey saying something like "Fancy coming upstairs and giving me my own private show" or making some witty remark about how he's seen her naked before and liked what he saw...
Deano I don't think she'll be interested in, although that won't stop him trying it on with her. Mickey I had forgotten about, could be a possibility. Dr Oliver I took it that he was with Lil mo. Martin forgot he was now single but can't really see him with her.Quote:
