I think he needed to show her how he felt- but couldn't kiss her. I imagine the missing scene would explain it. It makes the whole scene in El 4 where he does kiss her even more heart wrenching and moving as he had to show her how much she meant to him after her finding out about his ex-wife and child.

Just watched BBC points of view, and the presenter said that judging by the feedback they have received "this won't be the last we see of Molly Dawes". Obviously he's not the commissioning department, but still good news. Grin

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 16:10

Yay! Thats fantastic news...Im just worried how on earth Lacey will find the time to film it? Hasn't she gone back into Eastenders?

icemist · 26/10/2014 16:19

That's my one concern- I can't see Eastenders bosses letting her have 6mths off but... It might be in her contract in case they make a second series

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 16:22

I think that this series will be the absolute making of her as an actress. Although she is obviously good in EastEnders she has been pigeonholed into a certain sort of character (and yes obviously Molly is still from London etc) but there is so much more to her than Stacey Slater.

Yes we are all lusting over CJ but I was thinking this afternoon (was bored watching boys at football!) that it worked so well because of the fantastic dynamic her and Ben seemed to have together on screen.

Nickel45 · 26/10/2014 16:25

Am so pleased to have found this, and to know I'm not the only one!!! Have been loving following his, thank you :)
Richtea19 - the series on iTunes, is it whole episodes? (Not used itunes before, but think I may have to get my fix that way!!)

icemist · 26/10/2014 16:34

If you download episodes 1,2 and 5 from bbc Iplayer you get them for 30 days. For some reason 3 and 4 there is no download option.

Smurfingreat · 26/10/2014 16:34

Welcome Nickel, you are defininetly not the only one, there are many, many of us totally obsessed and old enough to know better women on here.

Itunes doesn't have episode 5 yet, assuming it's coming.

Smurfingreat · 26/10/2014 16:35

Oh and yes, it's the whole episodes and you get to keep them unlike Iplayer which is time limited.

Nickel45 · 26/10/2014 16:44

Thank you. Looks like I'll be working out how to use iTunes!
(I'm definitely old enough to know better, and can't work out why CJ is having this effect on me - never had this before - but thoroughly enjoying it!).

BrodiesBabe · 26/10/2014 16:56

I guess kissing her in a full hospital ward in Bastion would have been professional suicide. He was risking enough just resting his head on her forehead. He battled with the whole 'nothing is more important than army regulations' thing for a while ... as we know ... Hmm

icemist · 26/10/2014 16:59

My obsession grows... Just googled 20 royal crescent bath and it's the house used in the programme. It was for sale a while back and there are photos of the interior. Sadly not the bedroom - but the lovely staircase. It was a snip at £3.5million

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 17:00

I know the logical part of my brain gets why they didn't kiss there but I really wanted them to stamps feet .

Smurfingreat · 26/10/2014 17:05

iheartttc, I was also thinking about the dynamic between CJ and Molly and how it changed my viewing of CJ. In the first episode I vaguely noticed that I wouldn't chuck him out of bed would probably let him dip his spoon in my coco pops. For me it was about Molly, having loved her in the one off and really wanting to see what happened to her next.

It was only as the series developed and he started with the smouldering looks and cheeky grins that the sexual attraction obsession started to kick in.

I was also wondering about the difference in their heights, despite not believing it is necessary for a woman to have a man to look after her, there is something very attractive about his stature compared to her petit frame (probably even more so when lots of people are trying to kill you). I say this as a pretty tall woman, who has had plenty of shorter partners, including one 6 inches shorter, but there is just something about him from the the angle Molly would be viewing him... Not managed to phrase this very well, but you get the idea!

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 17:09

I'd be fine with CJ then...Im only 4ft 10!!

I actually think that if it was someone else playing CJ that we possibly wouldn't all be feeling like this. And its not all about him being good looking etc...its more about the entire relationship between him and Molly. I honestly believe thats been achieved by Lacey and Ben and their ability to work together to create something so completely believable that we all want it as well.

Does that make sense or am I just rambling?

Smurfingreat · 26/10/2014 17:10

I quite liked the fact they didn't kiss at the hospital, built up more tension for later.

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 17:12

I like the tension...just want more kissing lol!!

mandy214 · 26/10/2014 17:14

passthesherry yes that is the look as she says "The Nuts, Sir". Not my favourite of his facial expression, but definitely Top 5 Grin.

I said up thread that I thought the casting was brilliant, they really seem to have the chemistry the roles required, but each played their respective parts brilliantly. I think

Richtea19 · 26/10/2014 17:43

I've only managed episodes 1 and 2 because I keep having to rewind and revisit sections that need closer analysis.

Apologies if repeating what I have already said or innfact what others have said but my review so far:

Ep 1
CJ acknowledges Molly after her advise about Smurf not being in the right frame of mind. This was during the blister scene with the longing glances. She has proved herself a team player and can be trusted as part of two section.

She risked her life on the mine field to safe Smurf and put her life in jeopody to save another (something that CJ had done himself) and thereby in his eyes proving she is an excellent medic. "also fucking awesome"

Ep2
Molly is now starting to show interest in CJ the way she looks at him on the gym equipment when Smurf returns. Note: I would love to know what went on when surf was in hospital in Bastian, it must of been a while to recover from his bullet wound. Maybe Molly and Cj became closer on those few days?

After Molly received Intel about the mountain CP and gave medical assistance to the insurgent. He praised her for both the Intel and her abilities of being an excellent medic. Smurf definatley clocked the look between the two of them.

Of course the nighttime tent conversation, "piss off Dawsey"

Eye drop scene. Angry with her for putting her life in danger and he would have never forgiven himself if anything had happened ( personally I think at that stage a kiss was needed, they held their gaze for what seemed an eternity, a kiss would of been perfect)

Don't go breaking my heart. The wink and her glancing over to him.

In conclusion all of the above situations brought Molly and CJ closer. He respects her for being an excellent medic, taking risks for others and sees comparisons between him and her. Also she is certainly not a Wet Fish like Rebecca!

Ilovelblue · 26/10/2014 17:44

Smurfingreat Happy to view him from any angle!!

Richtea19 · 26/10/2014 17:53

Nickel45 yes iTunes you buy and keep forever! It's only 2.00 something, Ep 5 not there yet but I have downloaded that so hope will have for 30 days until available on iTunes. I love watching on thenipad as I can have it really close to my face and see all detail. Eyesight is bad too!

Good news about points of view! Yippee!

Talking about the quality of acting as well, in Ep 5 resturant scene, when she says about the "kiss" and my parents are away; you almost forget they are acting as it feels so real......getting very carried away!

Richtea19 · 26/10/2014 18:10

Do you think one of us should go on Mastermind?!

icemist · 26/10/2014 18:18

Definitely @Richtea19

Would win

ihearttc · 26/10/2014 18:25

Can someone link to me to the Spotify playlist of all the songs? I haven't even got Spotify but DH has so going to get him to sort it out for me.
