Lip Service, anyone going to watch it?

[kittya]

Im looking forward to it. I need a new drama.

I really enjoyed it this week, and have a bit of a crush on the cop.

Im sure the bobbed one has been weepy in another show. I dont care for the blonde one either, a poor imitation of our Shane. I know they are actresses doing their jobs but just sometimes I wish at least one of them was gay. I dunno why, I always think like that.

And that HollyOaks Louise?!! the bloody accent what is the point? Is she supposed to be an imitation of your one that was on the 7pm show? Talking of accents, how many of them are supposed to from Glasgow exactly?

Mmm.. the cop is convincing but I dont have a crush on any of them. I dont personally care for any of them yet. I will keep watching though!

The cop is gay in real life [hgrin]

Heather Peace, she was in London's burning and Emmerdale.

Which one is from hollyoaks? The brunette who's a tv star?

yes, she was Louise that ran the beauty place. I think she came to a bad end.

finally watched 2nd episode

i like it and shall continue :)

thought i recognized police woman,course she is from londons burning but think she has short hair then

whats with all their accents? Frankie banging on about being from an estate in the middle of Glasgow and she sounds like shes from Surrey!!

just caught up with this on iplayer and must say I'm loving it so far

I'm concerned that as this is by the same production company as Ashes to Ashes, and that they don't get what the fans want, i.e. Alex and Gene did not end up together which is still upsetting me, to the point I am refusing to buy the box set.

so although Cat should choose Sam.... they will make her choose Frankie

of course they will make her choose Frankie. Who, quite frankly gets on my nerves.

Its still a poor imitation of the L Word for me.

That doesnt stop me from watching it though!

Yeah still watching it too, but come on Frankie is an immature Shane imitating plonker, Sam is kind, fit and an adult....Cat will need her head read, but I do think she'll choose Frankie

Still hope they do a second season, but if Cat chooses Frankie how will they include Sam, as her only connection to the group is via Cat

I'm enjoying it, not high art or anything but good drama, I care about the characters and really do hope it goes into a second season.

God, I dont care about the characters at all!! I dont really get that involved in these Mistress style dramas, just abit of light viewing. Out of all of them it would be the blonde bit actress that I like because she gets the best comedy. Quite honestly I think Cat is a crap actress and I havent liked her in anything Ive seen her it. Yes, Frankie is a poor imitation of Shane. Is that who all cool lesbians aspire to be like? I hope the policewoman dumps Cat and Im not remotely interested in Frankie/Shanes background. Its such a blantant rip off, I dont know how they dare.

If you're going to do a drama or comedy of any sort it is going to be based on love / marriage / money / friendship...so hard to see as it is based on Lesbian main characters how people wouldn't compare it to the L word, but I genuinely don't see rip off. Just drama.

Also really like Laura Fraser, again don't see what is crap about her, seems to be portraying uptight, hasn't really moved on and is about to break hot cops heart really well.

But each to their own

but doesnt she always play the same parts?

Frankie being Shane is a direct rip off, just with blonde hair. The blonde one is Alice, the policewoman is the hot soldier. I wish I could remember peoples names!!

I wont stop watching it though!!

only a week behind, got so much on sky+ to watch

almost pissed myself when hubby dragged a chair into watch jess

im enjoying this - yes a bit like l word buy hey ho

are they ever going to explain the accents to us? How could Frankie have been brought up in Glasgow with a family who speak such broad Glaswegian? did they send her to Cheltenham ladies college?

Got to admit hadn't thought about the accent too much as there are a lot of English accents, but yes if Frankie was 3 when she was "adopted" even if (which now seems unlikely) that she spent her first 3 years in England, why doesn't she have a Scottish accent

Loved last nights episode... it was just so screwed up! Felt really sorry for Sadie and Sam (who may have the girl..but it's only for now)!

I just watched this weeks episode and I fast forwarded half of it. For me it was totally predictable. I wanted to throw a brick at the telly!! I know Im hormonal but it was tripe! I felt like Id seen it all before.

I will watch it next week because its the last one.

It never went anywhere for me.
