Totally disliked, with no real family ties, lives in an old terrace house & don't even have a garage to keep her car in. What were the writers thinking about?..

She owns several properties within walking distance of the square where she can keep her car. I think the main reason she hangs around the square is because she grew up there, she probably still has feelings for Michael and her ultimate goal is to own the Vic since that's where she was happiest when she was a kid.
Tbf to Janine, it worked until her departure last year.
She only employs Silly Billy so she can boss him about
She hasn't mentioned millions recently has she, usually thousands. Having said that, she has made some smart investments so you never know
It would make anyone stay
Sorry, but Her wanting to own the vic is a HUGE retcon since she never previously expressed ANY attachment to it at all.
Well it is pretty obvious EE has grown accustomed to these major retcons :sleep:.
I haven't seen the show in ages yet always wondered how people in EE would own a Mercedes or BMW yet don't have a washing machine. That's soapland for you
Haven't seen the show in ages...yet feel compelled to drop by every once in a while to remind us of the fact
Alas yes - sign of VERY lazy writers.
They all get an "F" for history.
I don't think she does want the Vic i only recall her once mentioning she wanted to buy the Vic and that was to Peggy in what i assumed was an attempt to wind her up.
Yes it does!
But you can bet your bottom dollar, sooner or later Janine will come crashing back down.
Was poor, gold digging Janine not already stale though? Giving her money has rejuvenated her.
Although it's not unusual that someone with decent wealth with a lot of cash tied up in property would live in a decent sized house in London, especially when her office and several business interests are local.
When she was poor she was more bitchier, scheming, conniving. I preferred her those days because you didn't know what she would do next. However she was written well during Bryan Kirkwood's tenure. During Lorraine Newman's tenure her character has become petty and repetitive.
Really? When she was Archie, she really wanted to be joint owner of the Vic and lordedit over Tracey if I remmeber on Xmas day. And when she bought Roxys share in R&R she said to Phil 'First this place... then I'm coming for the Vic.'
The Vic was where she was happiest as she explained to Archie. So yes she has wanted to own it before
If she was mixing with people of equivalent wealth, she wouldn't be able to Lord it over them - owning properties and being able to hold her wealth over people's heads to either play Lady Bountiful or punish them for insubordination makes her feel powerful and she enjoys that. Especially as it is to people who she feels have tormented her and looked down on her in the past.
