Does anyone know why Jason didn't like taking his shirt off? Have I missed something? Is there a specific reason? Or was it just out of sheer embarrassment/lack of confidence in his character? Is this going to lead up to something bigger?

So confused.

By the looks of it, he feels as if he's inferior to Ziggy. Not in the Dodger/Will way, but more in the fact that he wishes he looked like Ziggy. Could be a very interesting story.

Makes no sense as he was training in the garage with his shirt off a few weeks ago and had no issues whatsoever.

The same way Seth felt about Riley. I don't like it, nothing wrong with this chap.

He wasn't in front of a bunch of girls, didn't have a girlfriend and the majority of the village hadn't seen his brother naked by then, had they? Not saying you are wrong but I assume that's where the problem is stemming from.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It could be interesting, but I have no idea where it popped up from! Which is why it had me thinking I must have missed something.

It would be interesting if it led to a storyline such as eating disorder.There is even a disorder where diabetics decrease their insulin intake to lose weight.

I reckon it will be solved in two episodes though.I think after the last few weeks he is feeling inadequate against his brothers.

I think that would be great, showing that these things happen to everyone, and not just girls. If they do it right, of course.

If he had girls laughing at him then he probably worries about the way he looks.

Good point. But the quickness of everything happening did take me aback. Would have been better if it had been spread out slightly more.

Agreed. If they had placed small hints it wouldn't have seen as random as it did. Intrigued by the story though, could be very good if done correctly.

It makes a change to have a character that doesn't want to take his top off all the while.
Jason is supposed to be a sensitive character so situations like that where robbie or ziggy would laugh it off he feels shy.He was even quite shy when his insulin was mentioned by ziggy. they should maybe show him having some conversations about being diabetic.

It wonder if the supposed boxing will be brought into it.

Unless this is the hints and will be touched on again in a few months?

It's obviously stemmed from his 'sext' picture being put up for everyone to see in the village. Could be an interesting storyline if they stick with it.

I wonder if he's going to become addicted to steroids to bulk up or something.

I'm sure they said there was going to be a boxing storyline involving him and Fraser coming up soon. Could be good.

No but alfie (jason) does have a twin in real life,they are not identical though.
They did well with casting them as brothers.

It looks as if they are heading down male anorexia and I hope they do. But the other week he had his shirt off while boxing and seemed fine with everyone seeing him then, I know it was only his brothers and Ruby but anyone could have walked in, if he was that embarrassed wouldn't he have kept a vest or something on?

I wondered about steroids too - not sure weight is the issue, I think he wants to bulk up his muscles. Interesting to see a male body image story either way. x
