[ThaliaLuxurySpa]

(Hope ok with you, rollon, to continue thread on your behalf?).

part 1 Broadchurch series 3 here

Let's go onwards with our intriguing or madcap theories, people...

Wh groomed and filmed Leo ? Parallel of father taking rap for son ?

Well that was horrible.

Is it going to come out that Jim paid Leo to do it?

And that Mansion man is Leo's Dad, treated him horribly and that's why he wanted control?

Miller looked ready to kill the bastard.

I am Cherry . The taxi driver .

Goodness what a complete wanker!

The worst and scariest thing about this is that it's not entirely constructed. People like Leo exist. Rapes this horrific happen.

Awful.

No more angry than sad cos in real life he'd be out in 10 years and the judge would make a shitty comment about women getting drunk and wandering outside alone

Not yet, Cherry, but I think it's because I'm too shocked at it all

I thought they both were!
Not crying, but I feel shivery.

How Hardy and Miller can stop themselves from launching across the table to punch him in the face shows amazing restraint.

Don't think I'd be the same!

Might just be a plot hole, but how on earth would Ed overhearing that think that it was just drunk sex?

... carrying on from my previous post- Jim could have lured Trish outside with the argument and left her there on purpose. That's how Leo knew where to be...

Is he a psychopath? Incapable of empathy or remorse, but very aware of people's vulnerabilities and how to use those to exploit them?

I thought we were about to see Hardy's daughter in another clip...was yelling at the screen. Glad they didn't take it that far but this is more horrible than I imagined it would be.

I was fully prepared for Leo to just say no comment to every question! His honesty is astounding!

I think it's a great twist, young and attractive but with a damaged moral code - very fitting in a world where that American college student didn't get a custodial sentence for the rape of an unconscious woman as it might damage his swim career

Yes how did Leo film his own previous rapes? Ian? Holding the phone?

I find it hard to believe Michael could actually 'perform' (awful word under the circumstances but you know what I mean) when he was so upset and scared.

Ed heard Jim and Waitress. He THINKS he heard Trish raped.

I'm in tears :(

Smiling as a pp said ed might have overheard jim n waitress rather than the rape

Maybe Ed overheard Jim and the waitress. He's been beating himself up thinking he could have stopped it but he actually couldnt have?

MrsJoy yes me and DP said the same this is the world, people like this

I can't feel any sympathy for Micheal. He could've ran for help as soon as he saw her hit by the bat. Yes Leo is manipulative but I don't think we saw nearly enough to suggest he had that level of control over him.

Sorry massive x post

Yeah, now I'm crying.
