Rosie Marcel and Carli Norris

Really enjoyed the recent storyline off Fran and Jac, I was dying to know why Fran was so against Jac, I thought she was either going to be her long lost sister or the wife of a patient Jac pushed to have surgery that killed them.

Part of me also thought both was abused when in care so it was so sad when Fran told the truth finally.

I know Fran was brash and sometimes over the top but its a shame that Norris seems to have departed and joined Eastenders, I would have loved to see more of her and Jac. Both actress's were fantastic in this storyline.

Only criticism is I thought Fran was a old friend of the Nazis grand daughter nurse, she hardly gave a damn her suppose friend was suspended and depressed.

My thoughts exactly. I thought Fran would turn out to be Jac's sister, I also wondered why Elsie - her supposed friend - was no longer her friend, but I suppose that can be explained away by the fact that they only knew each other a decade earlier. They weren't BFF's they just knew each other in their 20's/30's.

I also thought Jac was a bit quick to forgive, I understand that she now knew who Fran was, but that does not negate the fact a very high, very drunk woman brought her child to the edge of a roof.

As a parent few things are forgivable where your children are concerned. Had Jac and Zosia been a minute later it could have been both Fran and Emma lying on the pavement dead or dying.

I can see where you are coming from regarding Jac forgiving Fran so quickly but I think she saw that she turn her back on Fran when they was younger and part of her must have felt guilty that Fran turned out the way she did. Although maybe as I am not a parent I see it differently. I like when they show Jac having some sort of a heart, underneath it all she can be caring.
