Who is Juliet? Totally confused by this today.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/05/2016 21:40

Too many people !!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/05/2016 21:40

I thought the taxi driver and the shot guy were the same person....

musicinspring1 · 02/05/2016 21:48

Juliet was mentioned by the therapist in a previous episode but I can't remember exactly why.
Is it too obvious to be the premier Inn guy?

musicinspring1 · 02/05/2016 22:00

I didn't like that. And surely Jason knew what the guy was saying about 'sorting it'?

musicinspring1 · 02/05/2016 22:01

I hope Hassan's brother solves it. I liked Hassan.

Now we'll have an episode where a child's being held captiveHmm

Won't be watching that! It's just getting more and more ridiculous.

RattusRattus · 02/05/2016 22:15

I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Kirriemuir · 02/05/2016 22:31

It's dragging on now. Still 2 or 3 episodes to go.

RobotLover68 · 02/05/2016 22:42

I think Juliet is the daughter at boarding school

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/05/2016 22:45

recap 5

RobotLover68 · 02/05/2016 22:52

No, I'm wrong, Emma is the daughter at boarding school - did I imagine she said something about a child who died? And then she was lighting photos in front of a picture of a baby at the end - could that be Juliet?

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:06

Juilet must be Marcella's lost child. Of course not the living daughter - she had candles and a baby's photo!

Right, so the guy with the (kidnapped) daughter is a thief or burglar. NOT a killer! He had the hotel card - and indeed looks very much like him on cctv in the hotel - so he steals, then breaks into an old man's house and drops that card when he runs off. Whether he is a simple burglar or works for someone more sinister- no info yet. He could possibly work for someone to watch people /gather information?

I was quite irritated by M interviewing Cullen. I don't get it, why she goaded him? Yes he confessed, but no wonder if goaded by her saying how weak he is - wtf? I could see it if she wanted him to confess for Grace's murder as she's so scared it's her who killed Grace, but he confessed to others not Grace, and she still looked relieved! Yet she KNOWS and told everyone that the murders were different from Cullen's ones. Have I missed something on this one?

Ginger guy is staying in the frame. I'm laughing how they completely dropped the baker who obviously was the intruder too. Is he suddenly going to reappear? If not - irrational, as he was portrayed as a suspect. Instead yet more new people appearing! don't drop the old ones then.

I did say after the last one that the jogger may be a contract killer - and hired to kill the difficult businessman standing in te way of project - maybe also to kill Grace btw. That was likely done by Grace's mum (or her partner) - so now he deliberately 'misunderstood' Jason so that any blame would be put on him instead of whoever ACTUALLY hired him to kill that guy! Interesting. But mum or her partner - or Henry even? It could be Henry - to prove by any means he can that he is capable of leading the project. And when Henry said 'I used him' (Jason) he may have meant also to set him up in case the contract killer gets caught. Otoh mum could haev give nJ his job back also to mislead Jason while setting him up.

eddiemairswife · 02/05/2016 23:08

I think Juliet must be a baby who died. Have we seen the man in the blue van before? Was it him who took the keypad out of the bowl. So confusing; so many beards.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:16

and when i say 'more sinister' I mean the burglar/thief guy could be working for The Killer - almost sounds like he got him out of his flat to do a job so that he could break in and kill the friend and kidnap daughter - otherwise a ridiculous coincidence.

But why he would do that with someone who works for him and can lead to him? unless they've never seen each other. Possibly the 'burglar' just picks the locks - or copies the keys of potential victims' homes, as the killer always gets into houses somehow - so he may not even steal at all.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:22

though if he works for the killer, why would he want to kidnap his assistant's daughter, who knows? insurance against him keeping quiet about his boss ? but that would attract huge attention from police whereas otherwise they wouldn't even know the guy with the daughter or question him

Anyway, looks like there's two - the contract killer and the main killer.

SuckingEggs · 02/05/2016 23:23

Juliet seems to be her child who died. She keeps pulling on the baby lullaby thing on her wall... Must be Juliet's. And Jason nodded and said "I'm not going back to this", when she played the lullaby. Perhaps the death is what's driven them apart.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:25

Robot yes it was Juliet - she said so, addressing the photo.
Not sure if this has anything to do with the rest of the story, the lost child. Is she hoping to keep the husband by having that tragic bond?

SuckingEggs · 02/05/2016 23:26

How did Cullen know it was Juliet's birthday? Maybe it was a 'newsworthy' death Sad

hate children dying, even in fiction

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:27

Enthusiasm, B is just their lodger. The man of the couple is relevant (hiding the gun, then working for Jason etc)

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:36

Perhaps the death is what's driven them apart - I think opposite, it's the only thing that they have/feel together, that's why I think Marcella is doing it when he is around, to try and stop him from leaving (esp now Grace is gone). I don't think Marcella thought thye drifted apart at all - it's like here on MN, the wife had no idea that her H doesn't love her anymore/had an affair. So it's him checking out, going after a new woman, nothing to do with the baby most likely - esp as they have two other kids.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:39

Cullen probably know about baby's death because Marcella took leave after that - she's just got back to work yet her DC are not little, so her taking a few years leave could be to do with the baby - just after Cullen case.

Actor playing Cullen can be VERY compelling, he's got that steely gaze. What's his name (as many mention he was in a soap)?

SuckingEggs · 02/05/2016 23:42

He's Ian Puleston-Davies, or Owen in Corrie

LovePGtipsMonkey · 02/05/2016 23:59

thanks, Sucking! any Welsh connection?
was he only in Corrie? seems like a waste of talent to be stuck in a soap (I mean some good actors are stuck but they are not as versatile, or too much a 'type', but he seems to be versatile)..

MangoMoon · 03/05/2016 02:17

I am now irrationally petrified of being killed via plastic bag.

Have always had a fear of being serial killed, but plastic bag never figured in my nightmares.
Now it does.

A thousand curses on Marcella's head....
