The accounts girl is very suspicious. I hope she isn't there to spy/double cross Nolan.

Nolan's new haircut has really taken him up a notch in terms of attractiveness

AmIthatWintry oh no, what if she's there to spy? if only he read MN we could warn him! Grin

Perhaps accounts girl is going to be the innocent abroad - the female Jack who is just a plaything for all the scheming rotters in the Hamptons. Emily is jealous of Nolan's split loyalty and Nolan can't really believe that accounts girl is who she says she is .. etc.

Mmmm, still enjoying Nolan. I thought the most recent episode was rather good, proper intrigue. (I am easily confused).

For what is worth, round my way we say 'oh, he must have had a hard paper round', slight deviation to uphill paper round.

Loving it again tonight - delightfully barking. I love all the swerving 'person who was never mentioned last series is actually integral to plot' twists.

Indeed tribpot !

So Hollyoaks Guy is not Emily-Amanda's brother and also is getting revenge, plus her mother is alive and running a motel (for now).

I still love it despite the increasing implausibility of the latest twists Grin

When she was phoning to find out if leutenant kuzac was a real cop, is still didn't occur to me that this woman running the hotel was Amandas mum !!

Isn't Emily-Amanda's mum in 'the Hamptons'? (Assuming said semi-mythical area of the US includes Southampton).

Did Nolan have a bit of a 'thing' for Emily-Amanda's mum?

I love Amanda-Emily being tricked into assuming the persona in public - and then Jack semi-breaking up with her at the same time. I predict she's going to do a runner and leave him with the baby.

Why do the two Takedas not look anything like each other?

Takeda Number 1

Takeda Number 2

And surely if Revenge can get away with this, Downton could replace the actor playing one of the lead characters there

OMG hi all yous select few cant believe iv found a Revenge fan club!! Nobody
and i mean nobody in my circle of friends watchers this, boring b i have to wait tomo now on 4od to catch up.I actually think all the blokes are a bit of alright even Conrad!! is that sad or what?
What is going on with that piece of jewellery that Declan took of the posh wanker? Plus doesnt Emily bug you sometimes?

I can't believe I forgot to comment on Declan's inexplicable descent into the world of burglary. It is both shocking and utterly tedious at the same time - surely it was only a few weeks ago I declared that Declan was the moral centre of the show and now all that remains is his refusal to rat out his co-conspirator when he got caught.

I still have no idea whats going on! I think it was better last series when I kept missing whole or part episodes. Then I'd be guessing what was going on. Now I feel like I ought to understand but in reality am no wiser Grin

Oblomov · 22/01/2013 07:18

I did think that the posh twit who told Declan that he 'obviously needed the money', so thus Declan would do whatever posh twit told him to do, was very very weak. I mean why? who cares.
And the whole Jack sat in the rocker. Didn't even give fake Amanda a hard time, not really. But then said I can't be with you. But does fake Amanda really care about Jack? I think not.
And the CFO for Nolan. She is well irritating.
And Emily. Yes bozooka she is irritating.
Actually the whole things is. Beyond farcical. Dh said last night, 'oh you're still watching this tripe, even though we realised in the first series that it was nonsense'. To which, I had to agree.
Have to agree with tribpot, that is getting so sensationalist, that I'm expecting David Clarke to do a Bobby Ewing and pop out of the shower!!
Addictive tripe Smile

Think it´s getting a bit silly.

So did Jack only like fake Amanda because he thought that she was Amanda iyswim.

I know that he & Emily were liking each other-but would he if he knew who she is & that she hadn´t told him.

Plus lying to Amanda that the baby isn´t really his.

Ashley & Daniel-justHmm

I think that the white haired man was fake Emily´s father-hahaha!(evil laugh)

We enjoy watching it, partly because we've realised that it is completely farcical & full of holes, as if it has come as a surprise to the writers every week that they've suddenly got to bash a script out!

Yep I think Jack is still harping after the Amanda of his youth and only got together with her because of the memory of how close they were. I'm not sure how he would respond if Emily-Amanda told him the truth. He may be too betrayed? I think he'll find out soon. I also think there's a strong possibility of Fauxmanda leaving. Perhaps they kill her off, thus solving the issue of what to do with the baby?

Declan has turned to burglary as the boy he was with paid him to hold on to something (possibly weed?) and probably paid him to help him burgle that house. Declan needs money to make it on his own and give Jack and Fauxmanda space with the baby coming. I think it was a set up and the owner of the house will turn out to be dodge and try to blackmail Jack/Declan.

Ashley always said she would do anything (or anyone) to make it in the top social circles, hence her clinging to Daniel like a desperate limpet.

Daniel wants to protect his family and the business but clearly doesn't know who he can trust.

Isn't Nolan gay? Not sure how the new accounts girl comes into it...

Perhaps Emily-Amanda's mother isn't actually her mother, hence why the mother hasn't tried to find her?

My afternoon off has been productive pondering all of this Grin

No, Nolan is bi (I think - although that was last series, he's probably gay as Christmas now).

BookFairy - Ashley is being paid to keep Daniel in check, I still think she's got her eye on Conrad.

Waaaay too many twists this week.

I haven't a clue who's siding with who, who knows what, and which side I should be on.

If Mr Whitehair, who was obviously shacked up with Emily-manda's mum, knew that Emily was actually Amanda, then why was he trying to kill her? Whose side is Daniel on? WTF is Mr Hollyoaks involved at all?

CointreauVersial · 22/01/2013 17:11

Oh yes, and Golden Declan's swift descent into petty crime, clearly a massive set-up job, but why?

Does anyone remember a series called Soap??

it got more ridiculous as it went on?

And the episode used to end with a voiceover?

Something like "Confused? Tune in to next week's installment..."
