Note: I do not own 'The Black Donnellys'. I do own my character. Enjoy!
With Dokey dead, Tommy really did become the head of the neighborhood. He wanted it to be a joint effort between all the Donnelly brothers but we knew that wasn't going to work. He took over everything that Dokey had run. He put an end to the deal between the Irish and the Italians over the real estate thing. Him and Jenny started to see each other. He still does his art but usually only when he's teaching Matthew.
Jimmy got off drugs with the help of his brothers and his girlfriend/fiancé, Joanie (who got clean too). He took over looking after all the bars in the neighborhood and collecting the Protection tax from all the businesses. Tommy didn't want to charge anything but Jimmy wouldn't hear of it so they agreed on a quarter of what Dokey was charging.
Sean gave up his position at the Firecracker and got his GED. He had always hated school but when he started dating the juke box girl, she turned him around. He's going to college while helping Tommy with the Union.
While he had always been close to the family, we made Joey an official Donnelly brother. He even changed his name to Joey 'Ice Cream' Donnelly. Tommy offered him a position in the Union and whatnot but he turned him down. After working that day at the Reilly diner, he said he knew what he always wanted to be: a short order cook. Jenny was grateful since her father's health was deteriorating fast and needed the help.
As for me, I work for Tommy in the Union but I also look after the adult entertainment in the neighborhood. Well, that is with Mattie's help. We've turned each club around and put the dancers in charge. Did almost the same with the prostitutes. For those who wanted out, we helped get out and find better jobs. For those who stayed, we leaned on their 'employers' so the girls got to keep more money than before and had better working conditions.
Since we, the Donnelly brothers, took over the neighborhood, everything has worked out. There haven't been any problems with the Italians (which Nicky is now the head of) or anything else for that matter. When problems do arise, we know how to take care of them. Just ask Sal, Huey, or Dokey.
