Jim only wanted to know why Linda was so upset with him. |

Unless Jim was involved in the dressing room incident and/or the resulting court case I don't see how that incident could explain why Linda doesn't like Jim.
It does seem very much as though Jim was rather vindictive in mentioning that to Luisa. Of course if Linda's dislike of Jim is somehow linked to the specific incident in the dressing room then I'll willingly change my opinion on why he made the comment. |

Frank and Jim were very close from another thread on here - Jim maybe thinks this may have something to do with it - he doesn't know why - the whole conversation with Luisa was to do with why they don't get on/what is Linda's issue? He then says about the dressing room as a question. I don' think it was done in a vindictive way - I think he 's wondering and when he says to Luisa ask about it - he's thinking is this it- ask about it. I don't think he was expecting that reaction.
As for the much bandied word manipulation, when I worked in the field we knew manipulation to be a tool for getting needs met -we all do it at times - when our needs aren't being met i.e. attention, admiration, love, affection. That leaves the question who was being manipulative and indeed what needs weren't being met by the manipulator? We all like to think we are in control - most of the time anyway |

Jim going into the bedroom after their row asking why Linda was upset with him was his way of trying to look like the innocent party, of course she told him where to go, but the damage is done, as Jim knows damn well that everyone watching will want to know more about the story -
he's done it to humiliate Linda - he got his own back on her days of slinging comments at him and making snidey remarks constantly at him - he's retorted with a right ol stinker hasn't he - BUT he's come out of this looking very bad. What a shame he was doing so well. |

I completely agree with you. I'm not a Linda fan. In fact, I'm hugely disappointed with her for being played like that. Jim knows exactly what he's doing and he played her like a fiddle. I would respect that if he were in the diary room later saying "I knew that would piss her off! Ha! That's what you get when you're such a nasty bitch to me!" But instead he's pretending to be naive and acting as though his actions were totally innocent and they really weren't. I just wish Linda would have some self control! He's using her to play his victim role (how can he be a victim without a villain??) and he's definitely not attempting to resolve anything. He "innocently" baits her and then sits back in front of his audience awaiting the expected manic attack. She's so disappointingly dumb and he's so annoyingly clever.

He didn't say "is it because of what happened in Frank Carson's dressing room?", well, not until he was on damage limitation after Linda had confronted him in the garden when he seemed to not even know who Frank Carson was. He quite clearly was attempting to stir up an incident(s) that Linda would not want to brought up. I don't see why people can't call it as it actually happened. We all saw it. I'm not painting Linda as an angel here. The way she picks and snipes at him is ridiculous and I can't blame him for retaliating. Despite my dislike of him I applaud him for putting up with as much as he did from her, but please let's not pretend he didn't know exactly what he was doing in telling Luisa to ask about Frank Carson's dressing room. He could quite easily have said, "I had a row with her husband about something and we haven't gotten along since", or, "I have an idea what it's about...." and leave it there. Perhaps he didn't expect the specific reaction he got, but I have no doubt he knew that he had the ammunition to get a reaction of one sort or another, even if it was just to shut Linda up. |

Neither Jim nor Linda are entirely blameless.
Jim knew exactly what he was doing when he said to Luisa, "go & ask her what happened in FC's dressing room". He did that purposely & he got the reaction he wanted. Linda also has to take some degree of responsibility. She has continually goaded Jim & he talking about her deceased husband in a deliberately ambiguous way was done to garner sympathy from the other HMs. Jim & Linda both need to look at themselves & their behaviour. |

I think he will regret this now, as it didn't look very good on him at all because her husband's dead and because it was so very personal and would have been a very traumatic time for Linda - and he's brought it all up again - but as you say , she was asking for him to retaliate. I saw a clip of Jim apologising to her, which he's done I think for effect, but she wasn't having any of it. But after the horse has bolted, still won't look great on Jim - the damage is done. |

He didn't actually kill her husband as far as I'm aware. |

Ok If you were him, how would you respond when she starts having a dig? From what I have observed, as soon as he responds to her in any way at all she just ups the ante spoiling for a fight. They are in an enclosed environment, it is less agressive to walk away and avoid fighting and argument surely?
Linda responded. She did not have a dig. |

Jim didn't say anything to warrant her attack, but he mumbled under his breath after being in the kitchen that she was an a**hole, she heard and then it went from there - he denied he called her an a**hole and he denied telling Luisa to ask Linda about the incident in Frank Carson's dressing room - he used that info to stab the knife in, so I for one am not all on Jim's side, but perhaps she won't dish it out if she can't take it, not that I think his choice of words was right - it was insensitive and nasty,, but they both instigated that whole scenario. The main thing here is Jim was doing well ignoring her goading, but cracked and that's the shame of it all, and he'll face the backlash because Lindas female, it was about her dead husband and she's cried as a result - but she forced him into a corner. |

what does it say about people who want to defend Jim ? I think it's clear that many of us have seen Linda verbally trying to get JIm to kick off since DAY 1 - and he's walked away - we're couple of weeks in and he's finally snapped

Yes I agree that Jim and Linda even if they do get into an argument are not on a level playing field and Linda is very willing to exploit that. The 'poor' widow against the 'sexist' comedian. He cannot win against that because even if people think she is behaving badly keep saying what a bad time she has as if that excuses her to some extent and I really don't think it should. Jim and Linda both have their 'demons' . I do wonder who Linda would have chosen as her enemy if Jim had not been in there. |

That is the link that shows him walking away and he did not say it. Quote:
yes he did , it was shown him saying a**hole as he was walking away from her - but she heard it and called him up on it. And she has history with Jim, and none of the others, so explanation enough.

Yes, and he also lied about what he said to Luisa to start Linder off earlier.
The guy is a knob. If your going to say something at least have the balls to stand by it. |

Whatever it was to get to the bottom of her problem with him. If it was an argument between Jim and her husband from the past would help others understand her bitterness towards Jim. That dosnt give her the right to blame him and bring up her husband's death.
He did it to cause trouble |

I hope Linda does not get the sympathy vote from the public like her sister did when she was in cbb, I dont think it was right what jim said and I believe she will milk for what it is worth,I feel she wants the public to turn on Jim and last night Jim played right into her hands, Linda using the C word did her no favours.
