Doctor Foster

[ellenanora5]

Anyone watching this, I like Suranne Jones so I'm hoping it's good, but she is one paranoid woman, maybe she has good reasons, we'll wait and see

She is like a Catherine Tate character. And she's always a mixture of furtive and surprised. She may as well have these stuck to her face....

can someone explain her taking dns samples from cheek please

Agree with jaketweeny on the fake drowning.

I noticed the 'in a hotel' line too and thought . It's a load of utter crap really, isn't it? But not one of us can bear to miss it next week!

I cannot wait!

I hope it's a suitably bonkers ending

The dinner party looks like it is going to get interesting next week.
I can't wait!

Bake Off final and then Doctor Foster! Too much excitement for a Wednesday night!

You asked Who were the other people featuring in the holiday snaps the assistant emailed to Dr Foster?

I did a screenshot from episode 4 last night

I think it is:

• Simon Foster and Kate (OW)
• Neil and Anna (Opposite neighbours - accountant who helped Simon raise money for the property development)
• Becky (Simon's Assistant)

Does everyone agree?

Ooops - I uploaded the wrong picture!

Here is the holiday photo:

I think it is:

• Simon Foster and Kate (OW)
• Neil and Anna (Opposite neighbours - accountant who helped Simon raise money for the property development)
• Becky (Simon's Assistant)

Agreed

can someone explain her taking dna samples from cheek please

I can't explain why DNA samples were taken - other than as a 'plot device'

It could lead to a brilliant final episode:

• Susie Parks and Simon Foster had a fling (Ros Mehendra said that everyone 'had' everyone up against a wall at the school)
• Simon left for London and met Gemma
• Susie gave birth to Kate but pretended to Chris that he's the father
• It will all come out that Simon's had an affair with his own daughter.

Simon has had so many women he can't keep track of how many he's impregnated or he's just so irresponsible it doesn't even occur to him he could be Kate's dad.

Is that a workable theory?

YES it is! but extraordinary for bbc.....would be really interesting though and great revenge for his philandering ways sad

Thanks SadWidow - Iam on the family antique laptop (DD using the one that actually works for homework) that takes 3 days to load a page hence I missed lots of posts and pictures because I was too impatient to wait for the page to load!

But thanks for the pics because that had been bothering me lots since last night!

OMG -have you lot seen this clip - it must be from next week. Love it.
The cracks begin to show

Wow! Love that clip. Really looking forward to next week. Who did Dr Foster take DNA from? I think I missed that bit.

Yes, I missed the DNA bit.

OK I tried to do some CSI stuff on the holiday photo to see if I could see a reflection in the sunglasses of whomever took the photograph. I know, I know that in real life it would have been some poor production assistant but... but...but... what if the Beeb are playing with us and the person taking the photograph is there in plain sight? To no avail I am afraid as my laptop is crappy.

btw loving all your work on alternative plot lines. MN is wasted sometimes I tell yer.

the clip is great - she is winding him up beautifully

But who do we think took the picture?
I can't believe that in episode 1, the neighbour is acting like her friend and confidante in the kitchen when she's just come back from a holiday with him and his mistress. I just couldn't go to dinner with mutual friends like that and act all cool when I'd just been complicit in one of them committing adultery.

So am not sure if anyone has suggested this before but I think that Jack, the old alcoholic doctor, is Simon ' s dad. And yes he had an affair and left Simon ' s mum but for a man , his partner of 30 years, David?
Not sure what the relevance of it is to the story as a whole but there were a couple of things that hinted at it for me. He knows a lot about Simon and his past and what he was like growing up. And when him and Gemma were back at the flat he was talking about Simon ' s dad and saying things along the lines of 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' and how Simon was growing up to be like his dad and Gemma looked at the messy room and said "I hope not".

Who is taking the photos of them all???

I dont get why Simon is so awkward at the dinner table. Its not like its the first time they have been all together! They were all there at his birthday party! It is a bit of a joke this programme.

I'm rewatching as I totally missed DNA test.

I intensely dislike Roz.
