That's because the character has done more or less nothing since the Baby Swap storyline finished lol. The Amy Mitchell custody battle has been his only major storyline since then and surprise surprise, Jack slept with Roxy in the midst of the custody battle - that didn't happen a very long time ago.

But what I meant by the "endless shagging" comment was that the majority of Jack's storylines seem to involve a woman in some way and how he can't seem to keep control of his cock . Give him a different storyline for once.

I just realised, he's had 3 or 4, hasn't he?

So how old was the first one?

And how old was he then?

His wives are Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes. Mimi Rogers was born in 1956, and Nicole Kidman was born in 1967. Katie Holmes was born in 1978, so an eleven year age gap for all those. He married Mimi Rogers in 1987, so when she was thirty-one, (and he was twenty-five) and filed for divorce, when she was thirty-three; it was finalised when she was thirty-four. In that year (1990) Cruise married Nicole Kidman, who was twenty-three at the time. Cruise, would have been twenty-eight then. Cruise divorced Kidman in 2001, when she was thirty-three. It was finalised, when she was thirty-four. Cruise, then married Katie Holmes, in 2006, when Katie was twenty-eight (Kidman would have been thirty-nine in that year) and Cruise was forty-four. And now, Holmes has filed for divorced age thirty-three.

Granted not from the same family.

Tiffany got pregnant in 1996 and Sharon/Michelle in 1995. Which is why Courtney was born in 1997.
So Jack wins as he got 4 women pregnant and 3 from the same family

Just out of interest do you know why Katie Holmes has divorced him? It must be over something real because she's filing for sole custody.

Well, I don't *know*, but from what I've read it's mainly comes back to Scientology, and the direction Katie's life has gone in since she's married Cruise. I don't think she wants Suri apart of Scientology, and apparently the age Suri is (age six) is when Scientology starts become a really important part of a child's life.

Hi PrincessPerfect,

Thanks for that. It must be a sad time for them, especially the poor little girl, but I can totally understand why Katie has made this decision if it's affecting the way her daughter is brought up. I really hope they can come to some agreement in which Tom can see his daughter as it painful for both father and child to be apart.

Don't blame Holmes if that's true. I also read that Cruise is quite controlling toward her, hence her reason to split from him.

At the moment, there's no female cast member with whom he has enough believeable chemistry for TPTB to create a relationship.

Actually, tell a lie ... there is: He had more chemistry with Roxy in that last ONS scene than he ever had with Ronnie in all their years of to-ing and fro-ing; but Roxy also has immense chemistry with Alfie.

They tried a pairing with Denise, and that was a damp squib. Any sort of pairing with Kat would be an epic fail. Jack has said repeatedly he doesn't like brass, and she's full of it. Besides, it wouldn't be long before poor Kat would be playing the dirty girl again.

Most of the rest of the female cast members are either too old or related to Jack. I think it's time Jack went to visit his son, Richard, in Portugal.

I think they had plans for Jack Max and Jim but they had to scrap them

I wonder if Tom will jump up and down on a couch and declare his love for his next girlfriend like he did for Katie Holmes . I predict Blake Lively or Jennifer Lawrence will be Tom's next victim .

Ha Ha, he did make a fool of himself when he did that; I doubt he will ever do something dumb like that again lol! If I was in the press doing something ridiculous like that I'd be traumatised for weeks.

That too, and they were scrapped because of John Bardon's stroke. Right before Jack's initial appearance, Max's ex-, Rachel, alluded to the fact that Jack was the favourite son.

Also, during Max's year of ritual humiliation, Max told Tanya that Jack was a bent copper on the take from some drugs' lords, who'd thought he'd grassed them up and targeted his wife and child (disabling the child). He also inferred that Jack wasn't "retired" from the force on medical grounds but because of his extra-curricular activities and that his pension was enhanced by some dosh he earned helping the bad guys. There was also the issue of Jim's grandfather's service medal, which Jack stole and for which Max got the blame.

There were loads of issues waiting to be explored, none the least, the bad vibes between the brothers, but that got brushed under the carpet in 2009, and now they're the best of mates.

If TPTB had any integrity, they'd study Jack's dark past as a bent copper. Earlier in the year, when David Wicks was there, Derek alluded to Jack, when he was a policeman, helping Derek dispose of a body. If they're going to go through Max's dark side when he was mooching around Derek, they should study Jack's sordid professional past as well.

I have sympathy with your view, however I think Holmes should plough on with her sole custody case, because with joint-custody Cruise can still induce Suri into Scientology.

Yes, I read that too (I'm reading a lot of TMZ, radaronline, blogs etc in light of this story!)

Those are good guesses. Although, he should really get a more shorter girl this time

Yes, that's apart of Scientology. Kelly Preston, John Travolta's wife had to go through it, as did Lisa-Marie Presley, who had to bite on a belt to stop herself from making noise. Presley, is no longer apart of the COS, thankfully. And not only does the COS require a silent birth, but you also can't say one word to your kid for seven days.

I don't like making judgements, but that man has something wrong with his mental health. He should get psychiatric help.

LOL if I did what Cruise did, I would've relocated myself to Alaska in order to hide from the shame and embarassment lol .
You never know with celebrities. I wouldn't put it past Cruise to do the couch stunt again .

I'm not one to jump to any conclusions either, I put a lot of thought into my views. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said "freak" - he is disturbed though. And I'm glad I'm nowhere near him.

LOL true.

I think Tom Cruise would make a cute couple with Susan Boyle . He definitely needs a older woman this time . The young women haven't done him good.

[priscilla]

katie should have kicked him in the balls then he should have pushed somethimg out his arse then.if he didnt scream then he could have told katie to.do the same thing

I'm glad I'm nowhere near COS (and since the acronyms debacle, I'll confirm it's Church of Scientology). I don't understand why anyone in their right mind would join such an organisation, especially one which requires you to exchange money for information.

LOL His first wife, funnily enough was older - and Kidman was only five years younger than him; so not unusual - it's only Holmes who has had a fifteen year age gap with him. Saying that, with Cruise, I don't actually think it's the women that's the problem.....
