are we talking bout series 2/3 when lip got mandy pregnant and they had to pretend ian was the father as lip was terrified of the maguires????

no dave - i think mandy pretended to be ians girldfriend to throw the family off the scent of him being gay.

Just cos Jamie was inside at the time of Mandy and Ians relationship doesnt mean the Maguires havent told him about it since.

I just think its slightly unrealistic how the Maguires seem to have forgotten about the whole saga.

Thanks. I had forgotten that

Smallwille, Shane doesn't know that Ian's gay, Jamie doesn't care.

I don't get why you think this is something 'wrong' in the show.

As far as the Maguires are aware; four years ago Ian and Mandy were together for a while, Lip and Mandy shagged behind Ian's back, Ian and Lip had a fight in the Jockey, Lip and Mandy got together. None of them know that Ian's gay (except Mickey) so they have no reason to believe that Ian and Mandy's relationship was fake.
Lip and Mandy have since split up so it's all water under the bridge, they're hardly going to sit around talking about "oh do you remember when Ian and Mandy were together for a few weeks?" or feel the need to tell Jamie about it when he got out of prison.

I think they blatantly would tell Jamie!

"so, whats been happening while i've been in prison for the last ten years?"

"Oh, the usual Maguire drug dealing and criminal activity. By the way, Ian was thought to be the father of Mandy's baby but it turned out Lip, Ian's brother had slipped Mandy one behind his back and the baby turned out to be Lip's"

As for Jamie not caring if Ian's gay, what does that have to do with whether he found out the real reason Ian and Mandy broke up?

I have watched seasons 1, 2 and 3 in full so I'm not guessing.

Strictly, its nothing the show has done wrong, just i find it a bit unrealitic how its all been forgotten about.

It's still old news though and wouldn't warrant anything more than a minor conversation when Jamie first got out. It's only the gay thing that would elevate it to plot-level importance and the Maguires as a unit don't know about that side of it.

My point being that it hasn't necessarily been forgotten about, it's just not important enough to bring up ever.

yeah yeah yeah. its not strictly wrong, back in my box i go.

Theres a house missing, now the maguires house is end as it was a middle house lol also in other series the front of the houses is all covered from grass and trees as series 5 theres pavements and houses in front, wow lol

I can never remember ... what happened to the woman who used to be the landlady of the Jockey?

I noticed that too - seems to be due to the black background on this forum, since it doesn't happen on other forums!
