The Missing is back next week!

[HarryPottersMagicWand]

For those who loved it last time, will you watch after the let down of the ending? (Well I felt it was a let down, don't think there was a proper conclusion at all and still room for doubts as to whether he was still alive or not).

I loved it though and will definitely be watching the next series. I've seen the trailer and it looks very very good. Julian (think that was his name) is still in it. Looks like it is based on JayCee Dugard/Elizabeth Fritz type cases where they have gone missing as children and reappeared years later.

Cannot wait!

If you want to continue posting here then go ahead

I only made the "joining up thread" cos MNetters were asking for it saying they were confused and asked for a new thread so that everyone can post all together joined up before the 2nd episode

for those whio do want the joined up thread here is the link hopefully

I think when 'Alice' said Sophie was weak (and yes, did sound quite scathing about it), she was referring to herself as she wants to shed her old identity and take Alice's. Although it seems too easy to think that this early in the series so probably some sort of double bluff.

Ooh, is it tonight? -yay!
I watched later on iplayer last week.

Interesting thought re tattoo/trees. Hmm....

HarryPotters yes! That's what I meant (and thought)! You put it better than me though.

Zut alors! That was 2002 - what year was sophie taken?

I think 2002.

Mum definitely doesn't think it's Alice!

And you were right!

Tapping.
'Alice'. So who is she?

Don't know but Julien doesn't think she's Alice I don't think. He knows something about the tapping. Maybe Sophie did it as a child.

And here's the woman from Daniel's dad's funeral / Aldi. In the butchers.

Ah! Sophie's doing the finger tapping!

Thought it was Sophie.

But why would she pretend to be Alice? And how did she get the tattoo?

Maybe Alice hasn't really been kidnapped and between them Sophie and Alice have planned this for some reason.

Whuh? Comparing the 2 - his cheated on spouse and her baby. Is the baby living? So not his, or adopted out?

Those of you on Twitter it is worth following @BBCOne. They tweet regularly throughout and have just posted a close up of the video Baptiste was watching.

I'm confused, place marking to hopefully understand it from this thread

You can 'catch' a habit, surely? Especially if you spend all that time together?

Could have been sisters = were actually (half?) sisters?

The photofit is the butcher?

Baptiste knows that she doubts.

Is it?

Julien has twigged that mum doesn't think it's Alice either.

spotted zebra I wondered that too.

Re the video vistaverde posted (thank you) - does she look pregnant?

Oh god, is that the unresolved mystery for this series - IS she back?
Parentage is so going to be a part of the story. The man who has been waiting for his daughter, Sophie - won't be the bio father after all. And the mum is dead.

Oh god, pregnant as as a little girl?

You've lost me. Am I the only one totally confused and watching the whole thing through my fingers?

That's what I was wondering Zebra - take a look at the video. Maybe they both were and that's why they were taken away? The doctor did say that Alice (or Sophie) whoever she is had had a child, I assumed whilst captive til I saw the video clip - or maybe I'm just seeing things
