Jack/Martha

[Dean]

Here is the thread for possibly the most twisty and turning relationship in the Bay.

They were so sweet tonight. The hug was And they finally said 'I love you' after so long.

I especially loved how Roman said that Martha doesnt have to know that he is loaning the money, but Jack still went and told her. Its shows that they are grown and are not keeping secrets from each other

^ I totally agree with you Tasha.

Tonight just showed how much they love each other, it was so sweet Thats what I've missed about J&M lately, there hasnt been much lovey dovey scenes lately, so it was awesome to see them cuddling and stuff .

It was so cute when Martha was like "You look after me better then anyone" and "Without you, I couldn't of gone threw any of this." Nawww.

Just too cute!

I love Martha and Jack interaction, they dont let anything faze them and why should they. The lack of screentime is good at the moment so the JM haters cant complain of their overuse. I for one am liking the cancer storyline and how they are going to work together on it. UK pace Martha has already started treatment for it.

JM have been fantastic lately. The writers have been going for quality over quantity and it shows. I was so impressed with Jack telling Martha the truth about getting the money from Roman, and then with the way Martha made him feel better about it. Honesty, it works Hopefully Martha's break will do them both some good (since Jack can have two weeks without stressing about her) My little JM are all grown up

I haven't been a JM fan but I'm really loving them at the moment. Jodi is doing a fantastic job and that scene at the construction site was heartbreaking. I also agree with what's been said about Jack. It's great he came clean about the money. It's such a refreshing level of maturity that they've been lacking in the past.

I think Jack and Martha's relationship has rediscovered a really good strong connection. Closeness between the two of them and I hope this lasts for a long time.

I still don't particularly like the couple (though they are MUCh better), I think its the characters as individuals that have grown, not the couple. I really like Martha and I don't mind Jack anymore........ The 'background' status they were given for that few weeks did them the world of good IMO, I can't explain it, but they are both tolerable characters again. Its probably all this 'Adelle' nonsense and it has well and truly became the far faaar lesser of two evils, and Adelle is evil, a storyline sucking vortex of misery and cringeworthiness, but thats for another thread.

I think I may only be starting to like Jack because he is so background, much more than anyone else, when he was in his three episodes a week, hogging screentime and getting knocked into comas, he was a completely useless and crap character, but now that he's in the background, its like he belongs there, so he is tolerable and has a purpose.........the background guy

I've always liked Martha anyway, my sourness towards her earlier in the year brought on possibly by the Sam haters most (not all!!) of whom seemed only to hate her because she was in the way of J&M and ultimately, one of my favourite characters was written so coldly out.........so yeah bitterness, but that wasn't her fault I suppose. The cancer has been handled well, at the start it was nauseating, Jack heavy and skipping the initial reactions of literally every other character (the important ones!!!, family) and having Martha all miserable (as she should be, but without the other stuff it wasn't good.....), but since the olympics and that awful cliffhanger they had with Martha flatlining things have gotten much better. We see the treatment AND the effects now and all the 'sympathy' and 'comfort' is dished out by everyone fairly, its not all about J&M and the storyline no longer seems like some cheap attmept to make people feel sorry for them (hence turn the haters) as it once did, it is a proper cancer storyline. Certainly the best 'non- terminal' cancer storyline they've had in a looooooong time.

Jack in the background, Martha at the front, works with me, if they keep it like this, and keep remembering that this is Martha's storyline, NOT J&M's then all shall remain fine..........

[Zetti]

I can agree with some of the points you made especially the last point about it being Martha's storyline. Jack really doesnt need to be more involved that he already is and I hope it stays this way so the couple can last.

[MasterHolden]

True, but the Cryptic clues and the spoilers suggest that Jack and Marth could split up again, only this time, Roman would be to blame, instead of work.
