    Why does Jimmy look in to the middle distance all the time while talking to another character? I think it was to portray guilt to start with but now he constantly looks like he is staring at a spot on the wall.

    I think.....and I could be wrong.....it might have something to do with the lack of acting ability.

    Crap actor.

    A f**king joke.

    Looks like Gary Kelly.

    Is the second actor to play that part - which instantly gives him zero credibility.

    In real life, David Mitchell comes across as a scumbag.

    That could make sense alright! Although why can't he do it like Jack and Vera and put the lines on cigarette packets, etc?

    I still maintain that he can't act!

    Rita is one of the worst actors in the soap but Leo is the top dog when it comes to inability to act in Fair City

    Respect to Jimmy for not paying heed to society and continuing on his denim crusade. I don't think I've ever seen him on screen without jeans or a denim jacket.

    Ah, so that's why he woke up looking so bewildered and, let's face it, stupid the other day in Paul's. The bad acting combined with the non-wearing of denim caused a black hole....in his head.

    I'm awaiting a plotline involving Jimmy in a 'Tobias from Arrested Development' denim underwear scenario.

    Sure all we have left now is Rita, who doesn't talk because of the stroke, Suzanne, who's boring, and Bella One Ball. The Doyle family will never be the same!

    That's why he was staring off into the middle distance. He was looking for the bus stop.

    Maybe he'll take another few with him.

    He's going to be killed off. He wakes up one morning and sees Ali with no make-up on and dies of a heart attack.

    More like Ali kills him with her skanger death stare. "Silence! I kill you!" *skanger death stare* Bye bye Jimmy.


    I may have confused Ali with Ahmed the Dead Terrorist though.
