Marchland

[dmo]

i am so sad need something else in my life but i am so excited about tonight

been off work with flu for the past 10 days and just feeling human again so watched marchlands on catch up twice just to get the story in my head

happy watching

Yes- maybe the priest does know something....

The bath... lots has happened there! The boy will fit in it and nearly drown, the 2010 baby nearly got burnt by Alice turning on the hot taps....

What if the fil is Olives dad
Would explain even more why the fil is covering up - doesn't want to get his daughter (Olive) in trouble.

Can't believe they're going to wrap tis all up in an hour.

Best have a clear head next week when it's on and no wine

oh, and maybe, the mil thought she was killing Olive (the lovechild) but killed Alice by mistake

Good idea - we haven't seen Olives dad have we?

That MIL (was Raquel wasn't she?) is quite a miserable lemon lipped old bat isn't she? Yes, let's blame her now!!!

Oh good god- I'm thinking FAR too much about this!! What will I do when it ends next week (and was wrong!!)??

FIL- Olive's dad.... some sort of parallel storyline with Olive having baby with 2010 dad....

Also kinda puzzled about Alice's dad having a low sperm count- was he really the dad??? Could it be something to do with FIL...

Very confused,

A young Olive (I think it was her as she had a deaf aid batter on) was seen in 1968 with her Mother when Ruth was out - she looked Alice's age. That means in 1987 when she shagged Mark she was about 27 - yet he was only around 18 - didn't he go off to Uni in 1987. Yet in 1987 Olive looks roughly the same age as Mark.....

Am I missing something here....

2011 Olive looks MUCH older than Mark.

I like the idea that granny might have thought she was killing love child but somehow got Alice by mistake.

But she doesn't look 'guilty' just 'sourfaced'.

Lol Rioja - it will probably turn out to be very dull and pedestrian!

I think the modern Olive looks considerably older than the modern Mark. So that could fit.

Let's hope we are not disappointed!!

Unless the fil was Alices dad and mil found out....

though can't see fil and Ruth together, iyswim

I think Paul's low sperm count will be very relevant.

Or a red herring

So in 1987, Olive would've been about 26? If that's the case, then I think she can just about looks it.

Agreed RBOTB- we should write the next ITV drama as our ideas are probably far more entertaining than the real plot!!

Olive does look lots older- couldn't just be a cock up on the casting, could it??

Sorry, x-posts on the age thing

Alice fell in lake, shouted for Olive to help her, Olive couldn't hear her, but was there....

Olive not only looks older now, but also seemed much wiser than him - in other words wishing him off to college to live his life.

However, if she was worried that people would take the baby away then surely she was young?

Yes Runny!! And drowned Alice in the bath! Perhaps Olive used to go over to play with Alice and saw what happened?

Oh, like that shouting for help going unheard idea ...

Anyone else think that all the evidence points to Alice having been a bit of a brat ?

ROFL Ormirian.

Olive knew that Mark would've stayed with her if he had known she was pregnant. And she didn't want him to have to stay iyswim. (she knew she was when he left, didn't she?)

pmsl

well if her afterlife is anything to go by, she was certainly an attention seeker

So... 2010 couple are linked to the 60s- what about 80s family, or is it just that their kids are seeing Alice's ghost???

We've not been shown any hints to 80s couple being related. Are any of them the love children of the 60s lot, the priest or a passing ghost?

The MIL's a total bitch.
