The SPOILER friendly The Missing thread

[FayeFruitLoop]

For those who want to read & share the spoiler theories

If you don't... Pee off

[SolomanDaisy]

The running through the woods sequence could also be one of Emily's things where she keeps thinking she sees Ollie.

[FayeFruitLoop]

Fluffling I think that actor is a good match for a relative of Zidane?

[werenotreallyhere]

I can't remember the Scottish family either...

[FayeFruitLoop]

Who are the Scottish family?

Puts hands up and admits I don't know either

[SolomanDaisy]

I think all they do is sit next to Tony in a cafe in the first episode.

[SolomanDaisy]

So they seemed inconsequential,but it looks like they may be more significant.

[werenotreallyhere]

How do we know their Scottish then if they just sat there? Was it the one from the present at the very beginning with a 14 year old that Tony was staring at?

[SolomanDaisy]

Yes, that's the one. They're described as Scottish boy etc on the cast list.

[werenotreallyhere]

Ahhhhhh! So there was no reason to consider them Scottish unless you read the cast list? How strange....

[Ohfourfoxache]

Do we know yet what the link is between Charmataines and the copper who passes information to Malik? (Sorry, can't remember his name, begins with Z)

Could Til Death relate to Tony and Emily's relationship and perhaps nothing coming between them? I'm not sure that I totally trust Mark.....

[mewkins]

So why significant that the boy is back in next week's episode but with a french surname?? Anyone??

[reem1]

Oh thank goodness for that thread!
In the starz trailer there are two people that Ollie is watching or hiding from in the woods - a man with a white cap and a woman with a longer brown hair and a fringe ( rather well built) am I seeing it right???
And the person in the house with Ollie is a skinny woman with shoulder length bob - right or wrong???

[werenotreallyhere]

I think it's just that they are back, but also that they tried to put everyone off the scent that they'd be significant by giving them false names in the cast list

[Trunchbull]

Great thread! I really need a job, because today I nosied enough to discover:
Scottish Boy's Twitter posts only allude to him having a cameo role, with a photo showing him wearing what he wore in Ep1 with no mention of further episodes,
TalkTalk TV Guide online appear to have the complete cast list for the final 2 episodes, so good clues there,
Scottish Boy actor isn't in TalkTalk TV Guide so maybe IMDB are bullcrapping again,
However the rest of the actors IMDB claim are in the Duschamps family all appear in Ep7 according to TalkTalk.

[FayeFruitLoop]

I just looked on digital spy thread and apparently anyone with imdb account can edit like Wikipedia so not bbc doing cast lists...

[cupofsneeze]

Jeez Trunchbull aka Ms Marple, thats some detective work

[Trunchbull]

I know. I have no life. Would post link to TalkTalk but am out atm and my phone can't find it. Will look in iPad history later and post link.

[mewkins]

Trunchball, you could set up a private detective agency

[mewkins]

Of course...ollie may have followed another child...

[FayeFruitLoop]

Oooh

Did Ollie follow James or Molly?

And I think mark said something like their loss is my gain to the journalist, did he just mean in that he got Emily or was it too early to say that and means something else?

[SolomanDaisy]

Ooh, talktalk have the same character names listed for the duchamps, but different actors. So they're not the Scottish family?

[mewkins]

Not sure, but if we think ollie would have gone willingly with a female or someone he knows I think he would have followed another child.

[reem1]

That starz trailer only confused me more...
But a link I see is that there is a scene where Ollie demands ice cream in the La Central cafe and in 2014 Tony chats to a boy (Scottish) also in La Central and at the same time that boy's parents deal with younger sibling demanding ice cream.
Very similar situation in 2006 & 2014 (except for Tony & the boy)
