Eileen Bruno was the ex-wife of Jimmy Bruno in "Forever Blue".
History[]
Eileen married Jimmy at a young age and they had three children together, two sons and a daughter. In 1968, when Eileen was pregnant with their third child and younger son, she spied on Jimmy kissing Sean "Coop" Cooper, his friend and partner on the force, in their backyard. This scene caused Eileen to act very cold and distant towards Coop. At her son's christening party, Eileen confronted Coop about seeing her husband.
Sometime after Coop died, Eileen divorced Jimmy because of his affair.
In 2006, when the Philadelphia Homicide detectives reopened Coop's murder, Eileen told them about his and Jimmy's secret relationship. This information helped the detectives to solve Coop's murder.
