I think the next big reveal will be that he's the spawn of Paul when he did the nasty with that rancid Quill woman. She made a big deal about their one night stand being why she hated him which is a tad excessive. Maybe she hated him because he impregnated her and didn't phone her the next day. Only a guess but it kind of fits and the rest of Paul's kids/family have gone apart from Amy.

Yes, it's awful. I don't know why they've done it unless they're trying to say Paul is too vain to be known by the usual Granddad as he doesn't want to admit being old enough? But that doesn't come across, he seems thrilled at gaining a Grandson.

I think it is meant to be cute but it isn't. It's just yuck for some reason.

Jack isn't necessarily a Catholic priest. He could be Protestant, they also wear dog collars, and can date and marry. But I don't see them letting the 'forbidden lust' aspect of the drama go untapped in his relationship with Paige and 'being married to God' explains his sub conscious holding him back from entering into a full relationship with her whilst he had Amnesia.

I hope Paul doesn't try to get back at Steph because of Jacko/Jacka (?) being involved when she was so sure he wasn't. He should overlook that after all she's done for him, but no doubt he will soon be made a figure of hate again. Shame.

I actually have enough faith in Paul as i know him from the start that he will remember Steph's faith in him and put aside her believing in Jacka as misguided belief/friendship.

To answer somebody's question, I'd very much doubt that Stwph will get the bail money back even when Paul is cleared. It doesn't actually matter whether he was guilty or innocent, the bail was an assurity that he would not try and flee before the trial - he did so the money pledged that he wouldn't is gone. It isn't actually to do with the guilt or innocence of the crime charged, it is to do with the promise of keeping within the bail rules pending trial being breached.

Sorry to bring another soap into it but it is like Max escaping from the dock after being found guilty, hitting a Policeman and going on the run for which he received an extra years sentence on top of his murder judgement. His being exonerated of the murder charge will not negate his assaulting a court official and going on the run. That is a separate charge.

Re max, he served a year in prison so he has already served that sentence

Exactly.

I'm not Catholic $yself and i'm not denying there has been (maybe still is, i don't know) a huge problem re abuse by people in a position of power within the Church, especially towards young boys. But i do still think it is a minority, most Catholics, and Catholic priests are not 'wrong uns'.

I did also laugh though. She has been so desperate to have him as her boyfriend, adamant that nothing could matter and anybody else was taking advantage of him. For this to be the reason he hasn't gone there - ha!!!!!

Yes I know. I nearly put in my post that he'd already have served the time for that separate charge (which is why it hasn't been addressed in EE) but didn't want to talk too much in depth about another soap.

However, if max had been cleared the week after his escape, re-arrest and sentencing for that additional charge, they couldn't just have wriTten off as being okay because he was innocent of what he'd been charged and convicted of.

No but they could have done it as time served

Don't post much on this thread but Father Jack really? will he be saying "drink, f.eck, a*se, girls" ?

John Doe being a priest is hilarious. This is definitely going to go down the Thorn Birds route. I also think him being the son of Paul and Julie is a real possibility and a good twist. Paul being the father of a priest is a delicious irony

Paige is going to be worse than ever now

I also find g-dad yucky - and the devil child himself!

John (Jack?) is obviously Catholic as he is 'Father' and they take a vow of celibacy, unlike Protestant. Obviously this is meant to explain his subconscious reluctance to take things further with Paige, and will put the mockers on her hopes!

Still wonder what his connection is to J Quill - she gave him some very significant looks yesterday!

PS if he's really Father Jack, it should spice things up if he starts to behave like his namesake in Father Ted!

Getting chucked out of The Waterhole for being drunk and disorderly

The whole "G-Dad" thing has to stop - it's beyond cringe. I literally wince every time Jimmy says it. Petition, anyone???

Maybe Sonya could take him into AA? Remember the epi when Father JAck attended an AA meeting because he needed new glasses and could only read the word drink on the poster?

Well done Piper. Great slap
Well done Terese owing your mistake
well done Steph for telling it how it is.

Welcome back Sir Paul

Good idea! Maybe a petition against Jimmy would be a better one?

Funny how Piper changed from the Little Orphan Annie look to something more sophisticated!

AKA "FFS Get Rid of....."

YES!!

It's been a while since we've had a 'FFS Get Rid Of...' thread. I think the last one we had was Mason, and that one definitely worked!

I'd rather start one of those on B*** than Jimmy though. He offends me more.

poor old Paige, doesn't have much luck with the fella does she, she should have stuck with Tyler when she had the chance

I've a feeling we may need one for another character beginning with M who looks like she's returning tomorrow...

We could just resurrect the 'Mason' one and ask the Mods to edit it to add a 'di' in the middle of the name!

On a random note, every time I see John/Jack, I'm reminded of this smiley.


Bit of a relay situation at the prison with Paul out and Jacka in. I wonder if they just swapped tee-shirts. I think they'll have to crowbar that white jacket off Julie Quill when she rocks up at Wentworth.

I liked that they had Steph point out to Mark that he may have been biased with Paul's case.

I never suspected Julie at the start, because I thought she was too obvious. But, in recent weeks they had exhausted every other suspect that she was the only one left. I like how they tied all the stories together: Julie blowing up Lassister's, John getting his memory back, and the teens stealing Tom's money. The later being more important that was first thought.

Gary acting all mature is so weird. I like that he's trying to be a decent father to Xanthe, but he can't blame Sheila for turning into a criminal. He needs to own his choices. I did like how Gary put Tom in his place, and Aaron being privately amused.

Paul's going to take revenge! I hope he can find a way to forgive Terese.

The FFS series has a 100% success rate as far as I am aware. Apparently it is the lad's first acting role so I allow him a bit of leeway, but goodness some of the scripting for him is awful and cringy.

So glad Steph gave it to Mark both barrels. She was right he was biased the whole time. He has such a fixation with pinning stuff on Paul (presumably because of Kate's death) he is blind to any other possibilities. I kind of hope Paul brings an official complaint up against him.
