I've seen an advert that says it returns in November, anyone know what date?

Really looking forward to its return! Anyone else?

Was it Confused missed that bit Dame

I though it was really dull he only came to the conclusion that it could be the prison guard at the end

Yes Helen was annoying

EachandEveryone · 06/12/2016 09:27

So why did the prison guard even turn on him? I must have dozed off at that point it was so tedious.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 06/12/2016 09:33

The went to school or college together. Noah didn't really notice him it seems the guard looked up to him

and now bitter his life hasn't reached the high points that Noah's has

you didn't miss much

Only just caught up, and so disappointed! Been really looking forward to this coming back, and three episodes in it's a total let-down. French lady (sorry no idea who she is) is awful to watch, not interested in her at all. I'm on the cusp of giving up already which is unheard of for me!

NotPennysBoat · 06/12/2016 21:18

Has anyone watched further on and can offer an insight as to whether it's worth persevering with (without spoiling)??

IhatchedaSnorlax · 06/12/2016 22:59

Agree with all of you - it was a shit episode. Who's interested in the French lady?? Why is she even in the script??

Need Alison & Cole!!

Dozer · 06/12/2016 23:03

Really disliked all the sexual scenes in this episode, and the annoying new woman, one episode about the stupid dinner party was bad enough!

OreoHeaven · 06/12/2016 23:55

Super dull tonight.

I can see me losing interest PDQ.

BoxingHelena · 07/12/2016 09:22

Feeling very underwhelmed

I rarely get hooked by a TV series but season 1 was so (raunchy) addictive
fast paced and it all made sense

I miss the old characters I think there was lot of Story left to tell. It always puzzles me when the writer brings in new characters so late and to whom the views cannot really get interested in

Main questions
The girls is not Noah but is it Cole or ---- Scot ? remember when Scot went to Alison and looking at the child said "yes she does look like her father".......... or the ex owner of the Lobster (can't remember his name) ! What a scoop...

Is Noah really that hot that not only every single woman who comes in his presence wants to jump him (the Prof, the student) but also the unhinged prison officer

Alison needs some good scenes very soon, something of substance

Helen is doing just fine, I like her a lot

BoxingHelena · 07/12/2016 09:24

embarrassing spelling and grammar Blush

EachandEveryone · 07/12/2016 11:47

Scot was referring to his brother I think.

I can hardly text about it I'm so bored by it.

ClaudiaNaughton · 07/12/2016 12:53

Becoming very poor. Think they are trying to extend this too far when it should have stopped after series 1 or 2. Loved the first series but it's actually boring now. That dinner party zzzzzzzzz

bumpetybumpbumpbump · 07/12/2016 13:25

I really liked it. I 'got' Juliette, her 'crush' on Noah, her sexual frustration and the sad situation with her husband. I'm sure this is all setting the scene for later drama!

OreoHeaven · 07/12/2016 13:25

Noah looks so predatory when he's making eyes at all these women. Gives me creeps.

ClaudiaNaughton · 07/12/2016 13:41

Noah's starting to look a bit washed out. (Not surprisingly.) Needs to get back to the Hamptons for some good sea air and the luxury housing. Hoping Juliette gets called back to France PDQ.

Buscake · 07/12/2016 13:41

Sooo bored with this series and hating all the focus on Noah: he's a horrible human being with no redeeming qualities! So selfish. I'd much rather see any other character to be honest. Anyone else spot that the male student at the dinner party is from hollyoaks?

DiegeticMuch · 07/12/2016 20:05

The randy Frenchwoman is irritating and had far too much airtime in ep 3, but otherwise I'm enjoying it. Love the acting and the nuances.

Powergower · 07/12/2016 21:28

Oh ffs I'm raging. No one is interested in boring dull French woman! We don't care. Give us Alison and Cole. Forget Frenchie and forget noah too. Sick of his creepy letching. He's shagged every woman who has given him the eye (so many have). Really hanging on to this series by a thread. So tempted to quit but holding out for Cole. Why are the writers doing this??!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/12/2016 22:24

I thought sexy French woman was great! What's the matter with you all?Grin

Blacksox · 07/12/2016 22:57

I like the french woman. At least she is more interesting than drippy Alison.

Noah's a writer - surely she'd be more his type than a waitress?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/12/2016 23:09

I've never liked drippy Alison. I watched an episode with my dad and he said "Is she meant to be sexy?"Confused

French woman is very sexy in a non obvious way.

It was very funny as I've always thought she was badly cast. Thought she was great in Saving Mr Banks though.

MistresssIggi · 08/12/2016 07:45

She was "sexier" in Luther though so it's not that the actress can't do that - I think she's just playing Alison's character.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 08/12/2016 08:00

I think it's her vulnerability that makes her appealing

She is very vulnerable and Noah wanted to save her thought she needed him

Yes the French woman is sexy of course she would be but she doesn't add anything interesting to the story and the students even less so

Dozer · 08/12/2016 08:04

The students - hollyoaks bloke and the american beauty actress lookalike - are annoying.

Alison isn't "drippy" IMO! Sad and vulnerable. she lost her child and relationship, had a nightmare family situation, little money etc. Yet has somehow carried on, eg kept her shit together when cole and his wife wouldn't let her see joanie.
