I like the character, but she did tell Joe that she was sleeping with someone else, she did break up with him. Her acting like Joe and Nancy were in the wrong is just annoying.

Also, she was going to pick Freddie, just because Freddie didn't know she called, she went to Joe.

Basically, she is coming across like a bit of a hypocrite, and Joe is in for a big old heart break.

If you love someone you don't just jump into bed with someone else, I know she said she cheated but if he really loved her no way would he have literally waited a few minutes before shagging another woman.

I think it was he jumped into bed with Nancy merely hours after and he lied about it I think if he had told her she might of took it better, its split really,yes she lied about cheating so some would say she had no right to be angry but then he slept with someone who was living with them and pretending to be friendly with her, considering Nancy knows how it feels to be that person, I'm surprise she would do it to someone else.

Of course she was cheated on, I know she said she had slept with somebody else but that doesn't make what Joe did to her ok. Like she said to him, he was that heartbroken he just slept with the nearest female.

You don't know she was going to choose Freddie, just because she said they need to talk - that doesn't mean she chose him. She will always choose Joe over Freddie because she only thinks of Freddie as a little brother, she will never love him in the way she loves Joe so all those waiting for it to happen - it won't!!!!

His mistake was not being honest, but seriously, she told him to his face she was sleeping with someone else. What he did after that was not a reflection of if he loves her or not, he was heartbroken, he thought he had been cheated on, because that is what Lindsay told him herself.

Yes, he should have told her after she told the truth (well,she never did, she still is lying to him), and she actually has no right to be angry at Nancy neither, Nancy was under the impression, that Lindsay was with someone else.

He'd been drinking and was in a pretty low state, it was meant to come off like one thing had led to another with Nancy and neither were really thinking. It wasn't premeditated.

So there really isn't any argument Lindsey's got and there really isn't the defense that oh he wouldn't be hopping into the sack with someone else so quickly if he really loved her. He regrets it and he regretted it right after it happened. The show's going to act like Lindsey has some high ground in the situation though because that's just how bad the writing is. They needed an excuse for her to be able to consider being with Freddie, so they came up with this mess.

I get really sensitive about stuff like this because it's pretty much how they treated Ste back when they were having Brendan sleep with anything that moved to spite him like it wasn't Ste who was the victim in that relationship and they just put Brendan on this pedestal as their big bad sexy star who could do anything he wanted. I was disgusted then and I'm disgusted now with all the shitting there is on Joe now just because people ship Frindsey.

Exactly. I actually think Lindsay and Freddie would make a better couple, but boy did Lindsay's description of Freddie make me pity him a bit. He seems to have no life outside of worshiping his brother's fiance/gf. Also Freddie is completely in the wrong lusting after Lindsay. Confessing his feelings to her was just wrong.

In terms of honesty, shouldn't Lindsay actually be honest with Joe, and tell him about Freddie and his love confession? Because right now Lindsay is hiding so many more secrets from Joe than Joe's ONS secret.

Yeah. I feel like Nancy brings out some personality in Joe. He's so blah with Lindsay.

Yeh, Lindsay is a bit blah on her own too, or just basically a nice character. Freddie brings a bit different side out from her. And Nancy livens up Joe.

Agreed. She's completely bland. Natural yoghurt has more spice than her

So therefore he must have thought she didn't love him as she had slept with someone else I don't think loving anyone has anything to do with it in that he could still be in love with Lindsey but devastated by her news and in a weak state of mind when drunk.

She is being a hypocrite and is very irritating for it. She admitted that she left him out and lied so virtually the same as cheating but without the excuse of being devastated by something he had done.

I'd love Joe to get with Nancy as I like them both. Don't give a damn about Lindsey and Freddie as they are DULL imo.

Exactly. He was left feeling cheated on, humiliated in front of the whole town, and with a broken heart. While she sort of shrugged it off as "Oh well, see ya" and left with Cindy.

He had a nice little chat with Nancy, who was left shattered by Darren yet again. They were drunk, and one thing let to another.

He should have been honest about it, but so should Lindsay about her extra curricular activities. She is hiding even a bigger secret still, and is relying on Freddie about it. The way she talked about him, it seems like she already has an emotional affair with him, And no doubt she won't tell Joe a thing about Freddie being in love with her and wanting to be with her.

Had Sinead not stolen the phone, Lindsay would be having a chat with Freddie while poor Joe was waiting in the taxi for her.

Lindsey a breath of fresh air compared to some of the characters, far from bland, her and Freddie are a much more interesting pair and have chemistry, her and Joe are just dull.

I'd say they're all extremely dull.

And I'd say too right

It seems obvious to me too that Freddie and Lindsey wouldn't ever last too long anyway, and it'll just tear that family apart so much it's difficult to think how they could ever get back to normal.

I think it's really just going to feel like one big pointless storyline by the time they settle it.

When's the show going to ever do a story worth caring anything about again? Something deep and meaningful?
