So a Nolan hubby stole from a much loved comic.

[Videostar]

And we are meant to feel sorry for Linda and her thieving RIP hubby for what reason.? :conf:

[Macie Lightfoot]

But why are you judging Linda based on something her husband did

[Jordan.]

Considering how quick Jim fans are to forgive his past maybe you should do the say for Lindas husband.

[Marsh.]

We're meant to judge a woman we don't know on something her husband did years ago that we also don't know anything about?

Whatever happened to sticking to what we see on screen in the house? :laugh:

[Ammi]

..maybe because it wasn't her who stole anything but her husband and that even mentioning it was cruel and also irrelevant to her own character, whether past, present or whatever...

[Cherie]

..maybe because it wasn't her who stole anything but her husband and that even mentioning it was cruel and also irrelevant to her own character, whether past, present or whatever...

in fairness to Jim though Linda has made it an issue, as instead of going into the house with a clean slate and just tolerating him or ignoring him she has made a point of constantly hanguing him and telling anyone that will listen that she doesn't like him, and insinuating that it is because of past demeanours. The house breaks people I don't know whey we expect Jim to be some sort of super hero who takes it all on the chin and doesn't retaliate, it was a low blow, and as soon as it was out he wanted to retract it, but Linda is not an innocent bystander in all this as is being protrayed in some quarters.

Totally agree....
She knew he was going into the house unyet cannot be civil. Jim has been civil but Linda has had a pop at every opportunity. Now the story is out and thats her fault because she pushed him and pushed him....silly woman.

[Samm]

Stop trying to switch Linda into being the bad person

She is doing a great job of that on her own :D:

Linda and her hubby Brian, now deceased, on their wedding day before he stole from FRANK CARSON'S DRESSING ROOM

[joeysteele]

But why are you judging Linda based on something her husband did

More than likely because of the fact her Husband got into bother since it was at a show Jim Davidson was doing and it seems Jim was instrumental in her husband's arrest ,it appears she has held this against Jim for likely sticking up for Frank Carson ever since.

She is actually the one carrying the bad feeling on as to it and trying to now humiliate Jim on a public show as her husband was in that incident.

Total double standards again from a Nolan sister.

[MrWong]

I'm sorry but from the comments of the hm's Jim and Linda are as bad as each other when it comes to making comments and being nit picky but only Jim got nasty about it.

As soon as it was out he denied saying anything then lied about telling Luisa to ask Linda about it.

[MrWong]

Totally agree....

This re-writing of history is getting annoying.

They are both as bad as each other for making comments and being nit picky but it's only Jim that turned nasty.

Money out of Frank Carson's dressing room. He was charged and fined.

Ohhhhh, that was kind of low of Jim then but I guess that was his way of blowing his fuse

[Northern Monkey]

He had every right to bring it up as it is that which seems to be the root of her constant sniping at him,Atleast we all know why now.

[Niamh.]

Why would her husband stealing from Frank Carson be a reason for her to hate Jim though, this story is so confusing :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

She is a bad person by playing the mawkish victim and using her *sigh* dead husband as some sort of cane to whip jim. so what if he is dead, she made out like he could not be discussed, like his death made him a saint. Jim just reminded her that she is not so pious and should be careful mudslinging.

If she actually did anything of any entertainment value i would cur her some slack but she is very poor value.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Why would her husband stealing from Frank Carson be a reason for her to hate Jim though, this story is so confusing :joker:

She hates Jim because he knows the story and it would damage her status amoungst the girls if it came out.

[sampvt]

But why are you judging Linda based on something her husband did

People are not hating Linda for what her hubby did. Jim hasn't mentioned her husbands act, he mentioned that the reason why she hates him was because her hatred stems from an act her x committed and she holds Jim responsible for it in some way, either because he reported it or he argued with him about it in a pub. Nothing to do with lindas love for a deceased family member.

[Niamh.]

She hates Jim because he knows the story and it would damage her status amoungst the girls if it came out.

That doesn't sound plausible there must be more to her hate of him then him knowing something about her husband and by all accounts it's obviously not a big secret if her husband was charged for it

Oh Good. At least now I know not to take your posts seriously as your defense is based on how entertaining the person is.

[Z]

I feel that there must be a lot more to this story, I really don't think what we think we know would cause Linda to be upset - so her husband stole some money a few decades ago - that's surely not why she hates Jim, who at best was a third party in all of that, and that's surely not the full story?

[Northern Monkey]

Why would her husband stealing from Frank Carson be a reason for her to hate Jim though, this story is so confusing :joker:

Because Frank Carson was Jims friend and it happened at Jims show and they had a big bust up in a pub and there is still bad blood between them(from what i can make out).

[sampvt]

Everyone is trying to make this about Jim slating her dead hubby, its not. Its about Jim outing why she hated him. Jim must have been either instrumental in getting him done or he argued and took him to task in a pub and Linda had Jim evicted and hates him for it.

Jim haters are spinning it foe what its worth when its all about Lindas hate=red and why, not Jim slating her dead hubby

[Niamh.]

Because Frank Carson was Jims friend and it happened at Jims show and they had a big bust up in a pub and there is still bad blood between them(from what i can make out).

Ok, that makes a little more sense I guess, still though that would make Lindas husband more in the wrong still, wouldn't it?

[AnnieK]

Why would her husband stealing from Frank Carson be a reason for her to hate Jim though, this story is so confusing :joker:

I'm guessing that as Jim was a big friend of Frank Carson's he had a fair bit to say about it at the time...

Yeah, justified though if someone had stole from his friend

[Northern Monkey]

I suppose we don't know how bad this argument was,Also Lindas husband got arrested,Maybe she blamed him for this and has just never let it go.It could have been a particularly nasty argument.Who knows?

exactly!!! I'm not a jim fan but she is jumping down his throat all the time and wont let it go :nono:

[smudgie]

What did her husband steal? God I'm lost on this one :laugh:

£20 out of Frank Carsons wallet.
He was taken to court and pleaded guilty.
I don't think anybody knows anything else about it beyond that.
What made him do it etc.

Maybe he needed the money for drink to soften the pain of going to bed with that hag of a wife.

Jims friend Frank Carson is also dead,maybe he is hurt about that ,maybe he has those kinds of morals that its wrong to steal.Who knows ,but she shouldn't have riled him so much imo.

[flamingGalah!]

And stupid cow Linda having a go to Jim saying he was bringing up Frank Carson & her dead husband, when he was only trying to figure out what it was that made the silly old bitch hate him so much! Unbelievable... :joker:

[muchadoaboutnothing]

Another spot on comment. I watched, in annoyance, everytime Linda had a go at Jim, picking him up on any remark or conversation he was having and trying to ridicule him at every opportunity. She pushed him into a corner and then couldn't handle it when he revealed a secret to indicate that miss Nolan is not the goody two shoes that she is trying to make herself out to be. A typical case of "you can dish it but can't take it." I'm 100% with Jim on this and I don't think he should have apologised.

[Videostar]

Why are you and the other anti Jim people judging him on what Linda's hubby did.?

[Videostar]

Well in that case judging purely on what we've seen in the house, Linda has been pushing Jim throughout and he snapped (once) at her and brought up her thieving hubby.

It's not really because as far as I can tell nobody is judging him on what Linda's hubby did they are judging him on how he tried to rile and embarrass Linda with a low blow, then lied about it and tried to shift the blame to Luisa.

I bet she won't say sorry for this. All the housemates think that Jim called Linda an asshole, when it's not true. :mad:

Selective viewing again.

Then Jim should put her straight and tell her what he said, when it's all calmed down and get it confirmed by whoever was in the garden at the time. She'd say sorry then.

I think he'd rather let her keep repeating it as it makes her look ridiculous.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm judging him because it was one of the lowest blows in BBUK history, to humiliate someone through the actions of their dead husband. It's not that hard to understand for most people.

[Videostar]

I'm judging him because it was one of the lowest blows in BBUK history, to humiliate someone through the actions of their dead husband. It's not that hard to understand for most people.

And surely it's not that hard to understand as to why Jim said that to Linda, because she's been attacking him to all the other HM's and digging away at him since the first few days in that house, he was bound to crack under all the constant abuse she's dished out to him.

[MrWong]

He did try, but she was in no mood to listen.

Unsurprising really.

I did say when it's all calmed down. Hopefully he put her straight today.

[Vanessa]

Can't stand Linda, but she didn't lie about Jim calling her an "asshole". She misheard him say "Linda after I....." and actually believes what she's telling everyone. You hear what you want to hear and Jim never stood a chance of her ever looking upon him favourably.

[Marsh.]

Well in that case judging purely on what we've seen in the house, Linda has been pushing Jim throughout and he snapped (once) at her and brought up her thieving hubby.

And that's fair enough. Bringing their past into it, especially when it's not their own but a deceased family member is out of order.

He knows that and i expect he'll bite ack, in his own witty way. Bring on the one liners! :devil:

[sampvt]

Obviously the public do not share Lindas views on outing her thieving hubbys past so she must be seething inside. Luisa is playing a dangerous game with Jim. If he sets his mind to it he will destroy her.

[Macie Lightfoot]

It's actually the other way around

[MrWong]

You can tell that the defense of Jim is feeble when you have to split hairs like that. :notimpressed:

[jet]

You can tell that the defense of Jim is feeble when you have to split hairs like that. :notimpressed:

Very true. 'He never mentioned her husband', Linda did, is an oft repeated mantra. What he mentioned was ABOUT her husband - did he expect that Linda wouldn't explain what it was about? Did he think she would let the others think she had torrid extra marital sex with Frank Carson in his dressing room or something? Have them speculating behind her back?

Besides that, when Luisa relayed Jim's message it was sprung on Linda - she didn't have time to ponder and think what to say.
The natural and truthful reaction is to say "Oh that's about my husband".

When Jim said what he did, he told the whole viewing public. It was something in Linda's private life that few knew about. Now it is all over the press and twitter for people to snigger over. If Linda hadn't explained it, the public would have had a field day speculating about the possible scenarios between her and Frank Carson in the time it took to find out.

Linda could easily have lashed back and brought something up from HIS past, like his wife beating for example, but she didn't. We heard her say that never once has she mentioned his past and the HM's agreeing with her.
You have to give her credit for that.

[Kizzy]

The justification that it was some exasperated accident that caused him to blurt it out is laughable.
It was pre-planned cold calculated revenge, he'd been stewing in the garden wondering what he could do to cause maximum damage... It was no happy accident but a vindictive exercise to expose this story to humiliate linda.

[flamingGalah!]

PMSL :joker:

You lot crack me up...

At least the voting public seem to be on Jim's side :dance: :xyxwave:

[Livia]

If you add up all the things Linda's said about Jim since she arrived, mostly behind his back it's true, Jim bringing up the Frank Carson thing pales into insignificance by comparison, really.

Well said. It depends on the viewing public's morals and powers of discernment whether they think it is okay to reveal a private matter on a reality show for spite, and as many of the typical viewers have not only saved Jim, but saved him with many votes, then that is all I'm going to say about that. :hugesmile:

:joker: Goodness me, we are clutching at straws.

Then the "What about Frank Carson?" act in the garden and denying he'd told Luisa to specifically ask about him.
