Broadchurch series 3

[rollonthesummer]

Will anyone here be watching?!

I didn't see series 1 or 2 (though think I've now filled in the main gaps via this thread), so could someone please give a mini-biog. of who Pauline Quirke apparently played in original story?

A friend muttered darkly that her character might "join up a few dots", but our conversation was interrupted before she could tell me any more...Aaarghhh! The suspense!

Pauline Q played a slightly menacing woman who lived in a caravan and had had Danny Latimer in the caravan for reasons which escape me but nothing dodgy. She was very ominous and looked guilty as sin for a while. She had Danny's skateboard which she didn't tell the police. She also threatened newspaper editor woman by saying "I know men who would rape you". It was later revealed that years ago her husband had been abusing her daughter but she claimed not to have known. Not sure what happened to the daughter but her son was taken off her by social services. Son turned out to be Nige. Nige found out but wanted nothing to do with her so she left town.

Just googled and creepy rope guy and the Manor House owner have different surnames (not that that means they aren't related though)

Dubious was it Danny in PQ's caravan? I thought it was the Miller kid - she gave him Danny's skateboard?

Hmm yes it may have been. Didn't Mark use the caravan to meet up with The Miller Kid after PQ had left? That was odd.

My thoughts. This may take a while.

It's all going to turn on it's head and the Charlie higson did it. The ex husband would be the most obvious suspect from the get go. Plus LH says "she never trusted you" a weird thing to say about someone she was married to, unless in an abusive relationship. Plus he's being spying on her with his laptop that's at her house.

Also Rory the vicar is just there so that everyone can say "I think it's the vicar". Maybe a decline of traditional community subplot. See also local newspaper and scouts (?) from first series.

DT and LH deffo didn't do it, everyone else is v. v. Dodgy.

Mark won't kill joe, he'll get close and then end up in tears.

Something else is going on with the men in broadchurch. At best they're all filianderers at worst wife beaters and rapists.

Possible porn sharing/dogging/rapist ring.

Finally, DT's daughter is the star of the porn on miller's son's phone. It's more than a picture but that's all she felt comfortable telling her dad. Rope guy maybe the man in the porn with her.

"I find it hard to believe that Trish is the object of so much male desire."

A - rape is not about desire

B - sexual attraction is not just about looks

C - what a nasty comment!

I largely don't disagree, Graphista, but TBF re point A, I don't think Abraiid2 was talking about the rapist but about the men Trish has slept with/who fancy her.

Yes a very nasty comment.

I was talking about her apparently being top of every man's list in Broadchurch for extramarital sex. I didn't refer to the rape, which is entirely different.

She seems older than most of the men she has been linked with and is presented as being very steady, sober, etc.

I just don't see her as a man magnet.From what we have been shown on the tv.

What on earth is nasty about saying that

But apart from Beth and Ellie, Broadchurch seems populated by disfunctional adults who cannot communicate in any other way apart from via sex, porn, drinking , fighting or murder.

Well from the brief clips we saw of her at the party she seemed popular, happy, vivacious and flirty. So I don't think it's outside the realms of possibility that she wasn't short of offers, especially if she was actively looking for casual partners.

At the party,yes, But the implication was that she had been a 'goer'. I don't see that.

And again I am not talking about the rape.

Well she's been knocked unconscious and raped, seemingly by somebody she knows. I'm sure the "goer" side of her is taking a backseat for now

Your internalised misogyny is showing Abraiid2

I would think that her at the party was the 'goer' side of her that most people know and that men are attracted to.

I am talking to the period alluded to before the party. And the misogynistic point is the one I am making Graphista. Why is it in so many men's interests to tell us things about her that we never see on-screen?

Have I offended you on another thread?

Sorry I think you're back tracking. No not offended me on another thread to my knowledge.

Backtracking? Nope.

Refusing to be cast as nasty and misogonistic, yes.

So don't write/speak like one.

"I find it hard to believe that Trish is the object of so much male desire."

"I was talking about her apparently being top of every man's list in Broadchurch for extramarital sex" 2 married men one of whom she turned down and 1 she knows very well.

"I just don't see her as a man magnet "

"But the implication was that she had been a goer " Not the impression I got from anyone on the series apart from her ex.

The terms highlighted are inappropriate I think even for discussing a fictional rape victim.

I am talking to the period alluded to before the party.

I'm really not following here. I think you're not understanding me.

What I'm trying to say is that I think Trish at the party is Trish as she was before the rape, and therefore also before the party: outgoing, happy, enjoying a drink etc – in other words 'a goer', in the sense that I think we're all using it.

You seem to be talking about Trish as we see her at the party as different from Trish before the party (or am I misunderstanding YOU?), whereas I'm saying I think her at the party IS her before-the-rape/before-the-party, outgoing, attractive-to-men side.

imo the difference between party Trish and post-rape Trish is one of the most moving parts of JH's portrayal. Trish was obviously bubbly and fun prior to the rape. The rape has massively impacted on her personality. As you would expect.

Yes I don't think her character before the party/rape has really been alluded to at all had it? I assumed that Party Trish was her as she was in everyday life. And yes JH is a fantastic actress.

Cath was making cutting comments about Trish's appearance, wasn't she?
