Re the Jaded stuff, a nagging thought has been stuck in my mind since Leila cringed when commenting about Jade's feelings/pursuit of Ed when she interviewed Tim yesterday. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if a lot of media people see it the same way, then I really hope this relationship hasn't "blacklisted" Jade from any career opportunities. We already knew that the production team disliked her immensely, and they mocked her on a consistent basis due to her relationship with Ed, and when it was brought up again by someone at Channel 9 there was more cringing...I don't know what I'm really saying or how to say it but hopefully one of you can see what I'm getting at.
If this is the case then I'm not even sure how Jade could handle it to be honest. On one hand I think doing what she's doing and not commenting on their status is smart, but then again the speculation keeps the questions coming up and the idea of Jaded, and the negative thoughts it brought up to producers in their minds. If they come out and declare their relationship then the Jaded connotation will probably remain with her even stronger and hurt her chances in the industry. If I were Jade, if there ever comes a moment where she senses that nothing is going to come of her and Ed, then I think it would be in her best interests to come out and say so, but then turn it into a positive and leave it as that. Still not really sure where I'm going with this, but the thought has been bouncing around my mind since yesterday.
