What happened in Frank Carson's dressing room?

[jackc1806]

Any guesses?

[Verbal]

:joker: i was waiting for this to show up, I wanna know

[AnnieK]

I've just posted it in the other thread...

Brian was filmed stealing money from Franks wallet. He was charged and fined

[smeagol]

gangbang with hobbits

[joeysteele]

I know,I was hoping to get the full story,clearly something quite big. Linda was really ridiculous though although I respect her husband being dead is a factor as to why she won't talk about it.

I didn't see Jim as doing any great wrong again though, she was the aggressor from my point of view anyway.

[MrWong]

I've just posted it in the other thread...

So totally irrelevant and nasty from Jim then.

[GiRTh]

Dunno what happened but if Jim is actually referring to an incident that involved her dead ex husband then he has finally overstepped the mark - as I knew he always would do. He seemed ruffled that Luisa had told Linda, I dont think he was expecting her to. It seems its a sensitive subject and Jim seemed to lose his confidence after he knew Linda knew he had brought that up.

[Cherie]

Oh lol that was bad of Jim and I think he was sorry he let it slip which is why he backtracked she was goading him all night she has to take some responsibility.

[Josy]

I was coming to post this thread dammit!! :joker:

He asked her to so I don't know why he denied it.

[sampvt]

Linda is saying she hasn't brought Jims past up, she has done nothing but. Silly vindictive cow is now getting her own medicine but the way it panned out left egg on Jims face as he shouldn't have really brought it up but who can blame him. She has been riding his arse for the whole show and was due to snap.

[Verbal]

Jim - King Troll. Genius.

[GiRTh]

He asked her to so I don't know why he denied it.I agree. The moment he knew she had actually told Linda Jims mood changed. Clearly its something sensitive.

[MTVN]

Oh lol that was bad of Jim and I think he was sorry he let it slip which is why he backtracked she was goading him all night she has to take some responsibility.

Yeah I agree with this, could see he did kinda regret bringing that up afterwards, it is a bit of a cheap shot

I agree Sam,she has been doing it for days to everyone and anyone,although Jim probably shouldn't have said it,i can understand he has had his buttons pushed for days,Linda made that a whole lot worse

[Moosething]

WTF U GUYS
The man is dead :shocked:

[Josy]

Linda started the argument AGAIN but Jim shouldnt have said what he did after that.

[Verbal]

WTF U GUYS
The man is dead :shocked:

He did it to stir **** up in there, which at the end of the day is what I wanna see. I've never been a fan of Jim, but he is the perfect character for this show.

[smeagol]

why cant he mention her dead husband he wasn't dead then.
unless he isn't dead and he is a zombie and she has him chained in the basment where she feeds him hobbits and pot noodles

[AnnieK]

Following behind the scenes troubles, Linda left the act, leaving the five piece as a four piece once more. She never sang professionally with the Nolans until the 2009 reunion tour. She secureed work at working mens clubs up and down the UK and also appeared at Maggie May's Showbar at Blackpool's Central Pier for eight years. the show transferred to South Pier for two years before Linda suffered a humiliating blow. Her husband was filmed taking money from fellow performer Frank Carson's wallet. He was arrested and charged. He pleaded guilty and was later fined. Further shame was to fall on Linda when in 1995 she was declared bankrupt.

Stirring **** up is great but a dead partner should be off limits I think.

[Videostar]

That's where Jim and Linda conceived Luisa. :devil:

[PrincessIona]

I think Jim said he had an argument with Linda's late husband.. But what about? Whatever has gone on is clearly a sensitive matter.

Jim knows exactly what he's doing when he makes these little comments to wind Linda up. He knows she will react and make herself look bad and that's why he does it. He twisted things and stories a couple of times on the show tonight to make Linda look worse and make it sound like he was doing nothing

Well Linda will keep on at Jim, bitching about him and about what she thinks he is, sniping at him all the time, what did she expect.?

The biter got bit.

..yeah it was, it was a really low thing to say but it's lovely to see a Jim fan saying that as well because people are never always right and Jim does say and do spiteful things as well.....Linda has got quite serious anger issues with him though...

Jim should not have denied saying to Luisa to go and ask Linda about Frank Caron .
Linda was spoiling for a fight and she got one ,the fact that she was injured... well that's what happens in fights.

It wasnt common knowledge, obviously it was out there but nobody gave a ****. Now she's in the limelight and she obviously wanted to keep it quiet, and now cos of Jim it will be on the front page of every tabloid in the country tomorrow. For this reason, I love him.

[Kazanne]

:joker::joker:sorry made me laugh

Frank and Jim were best friends maybe Jim feels bitter that someone stole from him,whether hes dead or not:hugesmile:

[SocietyIsRuined]

And there was I thinking it was a sexual act. Common theft it is then.

[Kazanne]

He did it to hurt and embarrass her.

Then lied about stirring it up to make Luisa look like a liar.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

He must have wanted the ground to open up and swallow him when he found out Luisa told her.

Why would he even bring up her dead husband? It was totally irrelevant and then watching him backtrack and say he didn't tell Luisa to ask her was the final thing that made him look like a t!t.

To be honest Linda gets on my nerves and im not a fan but Jims comments were below the belt and you could see he knew he shouldn't have said it.

Great telly though :)

Nah I think that's nonsense, dying doesn't suddenly vindicate someone of bad things they did when they were alive - I'm not suggesting Jim's allowed to sit and rip into Linda's deceased husband but he shouldn't have to tread on eggshells if Linda's been the one niggling away at him over something that happened all those years ago. If she'd not even hinted at having some kind of issue with Jim and he'd brought it up the way he did, I'd be on her side, but she's been trying to get a reaction from him for two weeks now and he finally gave her one. It clearly rattled him when he found out Luisa had actually gone and asked her though so I think he felt bad, as he should. I feel sorry for Linda but she's had it coming from day 1.

from what we have seen in tonight's show jim and linda were getting on fine
jim cooks a meal for everyone after the previous night luisa was spiteful in refused to cook for him and lionel

after eating dinner they are in the kitchen and the topic of conversation is about how luisa is happy being single and how she spends time with her kid


jim asks her dont you miss having a man in your life out of blue linda jumps down his throat and causes a argument

he goes into the garden has a bitch about linda as does she while in the kitchen


jim returns to the kitchen cleanse away linda's plate for her asks her
has she enjoyed her meal and then she kicks of again he asks not to do this but she carrys on


linda is in bed luisa is asking jim whats the deal with you two there must be something thats gone on in the past


hes gone ''i dont know ask linda'' then ''ask about frank carson dressing room''
He has told luisa the reason without actually saying anything


linda comes out into the smoking area talks to jim like **** gets into his personal space pointing her finger at his face



and people think jim crossed the line ?????

seems this hate stems from jim having a argument with her husband because he stole from his friend

[MTVN]

Trouble is with the history that some of them have in there (obviously Jim in particular) it's a slippery slope if you start bringing in people's past to try and point score in an argument

Linda has been subtle but devious with it repeatedly saying how she doesn't like Jim and talking about the history between them without going into the specifics, Jim slipped up by bringing that incident into the argument and I think he knows it

Yeah definitely - while Linda has been trying to provoke him, she has been very, very careful to not say anything specifically about why she dislikes him so much. He knew that and was responding in kind; by not mentioning anything specific - but bringing up that incident was a mistake and now Linda can quite reasonably claim that he fired the first shot - before it was all just posturing, really.

Jim once again turned the convo into a man/woman thing.

Linda pointed it out. He did the same thing in his row with Luisa.

Jim then alluded to an incident involving Linda's late husband.

Nasty and totally irrelevant. He knew instantly that he looked like a massive **** which is why he denied saying it then denied telling Luisa to ask in the first place.

[sampvt]

I personally think he threw it out there to make her admit where her anger was coming from to try and dispel any correlation to things Jim is being judged for that happened a long time ago. It wasn't done with any great finesse but its now out there and the reasons for her hatred are now out in the open and he can deal with it accordingly.

Oh he most definitely regretted it as soon as he's said it, she finally got what she wanted and that was to push and push him until he reacted then go for the sympathy vote even more so and now she can and she will really milk it for as long as possible.

I just can't at how blind you are to defend a housemate and find an excuse for them with everything. I support Luisa but know she can be a bitch at times, but you just seem to think the sun shines out of this man's arse. I think a dose of perspective is needed on your part.

He offered to apologise, fair enough, but you can;t expect her to accept that apology instantly.

I am entitalled to an opinion Ben,I said he shouldn't have said it but I can see why he did,I don't think the sun shines out of his arse at all,I know he has done bad things as have most of us,but I don't hold on to the past like that,especially with someone I don't know

The mans dead

The mans dead

So where exactly are we drawing the line at when you can and can't bring up someone's criminal past when they're dead? Are we remembering Adolf Hitler as a German politician not a genocidal maniac, Myra Hindley as someone's girlfriend not a serial killer, Sergei Magnitsky an accountant not a tax evader? Like I said, I don't think it's appropriate to insult the dead but what, are we supposed to pretend that all dead people were perfect human beings and only eulogise select parts of their personality and their life? All people are imperfect, that's what makes us human - I think Jim was completely out of order but facts are facts, Linda's husband was caught stealing.

But Jim never insulted her husband. He was just wondering if that was the reason she hated him. Probably should haven't said it, but he didn't mean to upset her.

You're possibly right Vanessa - certainly what he said was because he was angry but he didn't say it to Linda's face because he knew it would upset her, and I don't think he expected Luisa to go and do it (which was naive of him) so when Linda's calmed down he should try and apologise to her again, what he said wasn't fair, and Linda didn't even hear it from him so that makes it a bit worse, she's possibly even just upset because she's fearing the worst.

Great post and I agree with it all except that really I have very little or even no sympathy for her, this to me has backfired on her and she is the one who looks the worse for it.
I'd even say she got off lightly because still the other housemates have no idea what went on in that dressing room.

[RomanyGirl]

It was totally uncalled for as it wasnt Linda that stole, but her dead husband.

He told her to ask so enough of this he didn't think she would do it.

He then denied it.

[Mac1978]

It all makes more sense to me now.
1. Mr Nolan stole some money from a friend of Jim's.
2. Jim got drunk and mouthy about it in a pub.
3. Linda had him thrown out 'cause he was probably out of line.
4. Jim knows he was out of line, but deep down, he wants people to remember that he wasn't the only idiot in the pub.

[Z]

It came across to me as "go on, I dare you to" and then ****ting a brick when she actually dared to.

[Lozzibear]

I can't stand Linda. From the very minute she stepped into the house she said she hated him... actually, no - that's wrong. She said it in the VT BEFORE she even stepped foot in the house! Clearly she has issues with him, and never fails to remind us of that. He doesn't seem to know exactly why, so I see nothing wrong with him pondering if that is the reason why... in some ways it might be irrelevant, but it isn't if he is right!

Linda just likes to play the victim. She is constantly goading Jim, and if he bites then it is 'woe is me' from Linda. Pathetic behaviour from a grown woman.

Before entering the house, I neither disliked or liked Jim or Linda... Now I am in full support of Jim BECAUSE of the disgusting way Linda has behaved towards him.

Jim had a show that Frank Carson was appearing in. Lindas hubby was there as well and he was caught on camera stealing £20 from franks wallet. Jim was involved and he was arrested. Later in a pub he got into it with Lindas hubby and Linda fell out with him that day. She had him evicted and holds a grudge because she blames Jim for getting her hubby arrested and fined. Jim didn't get him arrested, the camera did and it was Jims show so I guess he was figurheading the incident but Jim didn't ask him to steal and Linda supporter her thief hubby and now wants to hound Jim for something her scammer hubby did.

Has it not crossed your mind why Linda is on benefits when her sisters and family are well off. They too have disowned her. She isn't a saint or blameless here, even if Jim should have done it with less deception.

[Robodog]

Tonight Linda finally got what she's wanted. She has been drilling Jim non stop from day one, trying constantly to provoke him into an argument. So far Jim hasn't fallen into the trap and so far, no matter how hard Linda has tried - Jim has always walked away.

Tonight though he finally cracked. He made a bad choice in mentioning something upsetting from the past but to be honest he has done well to hold his tongue for so long.

She was really gunning for him - again - tonight for no reason other than wanting an argument. She drilled him over his totally normal question about Luisa being ok having no man, tried to turn everyone against him (as usual) then falsely accused Jim of calling her an asshole, which he never said.

If she hadn't been on his back all night (let alone the amount she has been on at him since before the show even started) then he never would have felt pushed to say anything at all!

She has started this whole argument since the show began, yet he has always been the one to try and make up and make light of it.

Then tonight - she went too far and also so did he.

The big difference between them though is that from the start - she has been constantly trying to have an argument with him and he has been constantly trying to avoid one with her.

Jim didn't get him arrested, the camera did and it was Jims show so I guess he was figurheading the incident but Jim didn't ask him to steal and Linda supporter her thief hubby and now wants to hound Jim for something her scammer hubby did.

Has it not crossed your mind why Linda is on benefits when her sisters and family are well off. They too have disowned her. She isn't a saint or blameless here, even if Jim should have done it with less deception.

Well that makes it even clearer so sampvt. It was actually Jim's show, so Linda's bitterness stems from there. I do think Jim was probably out of order in the pub. One usually doesn't get thrown out unless one is. I'm a recovering alcoholic for a decade now, but I do remember acting the clown in a lot of pubs. Nonetheless if somebody whom I wronged back then, couldn't let it go, and I knew that they weren't as blameless as they'd like to think ... I'd be very tempted to tell the world why they really hated me.

All in all, it seems Jim's been quite honourable in holding his tongue for so long.

Was Jim involved in the Frank Carson story? Like there when it happen and somehow involved in the incident? If he was, and Linda resents him for something to do with it then fair enough, but if Jim had nothing whatsoever to do with it, then it was a pretty low blow, but that in no way excuses Linda's behavior tonight.

Exactly,She's had a grudge against him for years and she won't let it drop even in the house.She's been picking at him since they entered.If she can't let it stay in the past then he has every right to expose why.They should have both left it where it belongs,In the past and tried to forget it for the 3 weeks they have to live together.I think the producers of the show probably knew it would cause drama aswell.

They were sparring as usual thanks to the drink but jim stuck the knife in and gave it a 360 twist.
It was screamingly obvious his intent was to hurt her whilst seemingly blameless due to his act of wide eyed bewilderment when confronted.

But Jim never insulted her husband. He was just wondering if that was the reason she hated him. Probably should haven't said it, but he didn't mean to upset her.

You're incredibly naive if you don't think Jim meant to upset Linda.

Linda should have just been civil with Jim....she has pushed and prodded at his every move. She had no need to make that comment to Jim...he was talking to Luisa and asked her a simple question...and she snapped at him for being sexist???... now its backfired...or has it? Did she want to goad him to make him look bad?.
IMO she has dealt with it all the wrong way....

[Macie Lightfoot]

"asked her a simple question" Jim knew exactly what he was doing and I don't see how the **** anyone's defending him

When did this happen? It seems ridiculous that someone is arrested over £20. It must have been way back for £20 to be worth stealing. Anyway Linda just loved everyone round her bed feeling sorry for her, cant stand her, shes a manipulative cow

If you notice, she does it all the time. Needles Jim, then goes to the group to bitch about him. Cries. God, that woman is a master manipulator and everyone is falling for it. :fist:

It happened well before many of the forum members were born, over 25 freekin years ago. That's a long time to hold a grudge.
