Romantic In Denial

Yes!!! So would I. I'm late to comment on this but I could literally see the pain in Jake's eyes when he realized that Liv was on the phone and what she wanted from him. Glad he found the strength to cut her off and end the call but have a feeling it's not over. I truly wish that she would realize how selfish she's being and every time she runs to him, she's torturing him. It just dawned on me that this is so similar to the Rhett/Scarlett relationship in Gone With the Wind. Some things never change and you don't know what you have until it's gone.

Yeah I think so too. I know a lot of Jake haters like to point out that he did bad things too, which they seem to think his fans forget about, but when it comes to Olivia he's always selfless. Which a certain other suitor of hers seldom is: he manipulates her, guilt traps her, almost literally does trap her (because that's what the wedding was going to be), keeps secrets from her and so on. Hell, Jake even let her go and actually adviced her into embracing her relationship with his rival.

Wow that's true.

^^^I agree, he's always selfless when it comes to Liv. He's also helped people that have screwed him over or tried to like Liv, Huck, Quinn, David, even Fitz after he tried to frame him. Jake has almost died for Liv twice. I also love how there is nothing but honestly between Jake and Liv, while Fitz and Liv still have secrets between them and Liv just made ANOTHER one by forging Fitz's signature to get Rowan out instead of marrying him. Gee, I wonder how they will break up this time? zzz. I heard the name of the 11th episode is "Who is Landon Boyer?" I hope that is Jake's real name and it will show Jake's backstory.

That would be interesting. I'd love to know more about Jake.

So would I! Like I was saying elsewhere, he's probably my favourite character this year and I really need more of him.

I loved how Jake told Liv she was supposed to be too good for him. He does have a side of scorned man to him but he's also very much right.

He knew that she was in love with another man and Olivia never tell him she loved him. I think she used him because she couldn´t be with Fitz.

Also I wonder how he could think that she was supposed to be good for him knowing that she was Rowan´s daughter.

Well like he said, she did talk of white hats the whole time. And she actually acted on her words, at least she had so far.

Liv is scorned too cause he refuses to let her have her cake and eat it too, along with him calling out her bs right now. SHE IS THE ONE THAT KEEPS CALLING HIM AND BEGGING FOR WAYS TO NOT BE WITH FITZ. Hoestly, Jake's material has been the only thing interesting to me so far about this dull, repetitive season.

I'm very much into Jake's sl too, have been for a while. I was quite happy to hear even Bellamy say that if she could play anybody else, ideally she'd pick Jake because she finds him compelling.

Olivia has her points, but I think Jake is very much right about how little she talks to Fitz, who's supposedly the love of her life and boyfriend atm. One key line he said was that's his job now. She'd call Jake to tell him things she could have easily told Abby, for instance, and she's definitely lacking in conversations with Fitz (apart from when he's teaching him what to do).

Beautiful video.

Thanks for the vid!!!

I wish Liv would get a chance to chase him even a little for once. It was great as long as it lasted when she saw him with Elise, I did think she was a bit jealous.

Romantic In Denial

I have a feeling that Olivia will soon discover that age old saying: "you don't know what you have until it's gone." Then it will be too late.

I feel like both have been shown. A majority of the time it's Liv chasing Jake, she is the one usually calling him or going to his house. She even tried to trick him by calling him as Fitz to talk to him since he shut her out. Also, everytime she thinks she will lose Jake she gets emotional and clingy, and doesn't like when he's not there for her. Since Jake has been shutting her out alot lately she will probably try going after him again until he caves. Like I've said before, Liv sometimes wants what she can't have. I won't be suprised if they start hooking up again when the show comes back.
