Jacks Ronnies (on/off) boyfriend

Jack and Ronnie fancy the pants off each other - why are they dancing around?
Women have always been an important part of Jack's life, but they aren't the dominant force. Jack is shocked by his feelings for Ronnie because he likes her and she has started to become important to him. That's strange as Jack's got history - he's had his fingers burnt.

Are you saying he's actually fallen for Ronnie?
He's attracted to her. Ronnie's a bit of a challenge, and Jack likes that! If he just wanted to sleep with her he'd have tried it on much earlier, but he likes the finer things in life - he isn't just a leg-over merchant!

So after their Christmas kiss under the mistletoe, why hasn't the pair of them taken it any further?
The kiss was the start of it. The gloves are off now and Ronnie wants to know more about him. She starts to do some digging, going through this mail - but that's not on. He wants her to trust him - however, he won't be pressured into giving information.

And is that why she takes the keys to Jack's flat?
Yes, she nicks them when she starts to suspect Jack's giving presents to other women! He doesn't catch her in there, but he finds things have been moved and has hunch she's involved.

Does she find anything?
No. She's dressed up in a glam outfit, waiting for Jack to come home - and then Roxy walks in. That makes Ronnie think better of it, but she leaves a bottle of champagne behind by mistake, which Jack later finds - and that's the major clue that she was in the flat. He knows she was snooping.

So she wanted to take things to the next stage, did she?
Yes! It's definitly a step up in the passion stakes and another step towards them getting into bed!

So what's Jack's plan?
He ask's Ronnie to a meeting at the club, but changes the venue to his flat because, of course, it isn't a business meeting he has in mind! Roxy turns up instead, as Ronnie's got food poisoning. But Roxy doesn't tell him that - she just says she's there to talk business. Then she notices the set up and realises what's going on. It's awkward, but she promises to get Ronnie out the following day.

So Jack finally gets Ronnie where he wants her, then?
I can't reveal what happens this time, but eventually at the end of the fortnight they end up in the sack together - she can't resist Jack Branning's charms forever!

It's taken a while!
Yes, but i think that's good for these two because they are both so damaged. They put a brave face on, but there are trust issues they need to resolve.

What doe's Roxy think?
She's very wary of Jack and is always in Ronnie's ear. And she's a little jealous because she tried it on first! Also, Roxy's a Mitchell and takes Phil's side against Jack.

Talking of Phil is Jack trying to make amends with him by offering to help find Louise?
Jack's got no time for Phil, but he's Ronnie's family, so if Jack wants to be with Ronnie he has to make an effort with Phil.

Does Phil trust him?
He doesn't believe Jack's being genuine until Jack gives him an address for Louise. Even then, they don't trust each other - thats not going to change!
