Doctor foster

[pineappleeyes]

Dr Foster is back on Tuesday

I vaguely remember this. Can someone jog my memory please? Also how did it end ?

Her normal accent is northern. I'm guessing Parminster isn't. Weirdly I liked her better with her faux posh voice

What was in her drawer hidden under other things that she kept going back to ?

It's so depressing that the male writer pushes the psycho ex wife story, no matter the provocation.

Yeah. Same old.

What was in her drawer hidden under other things that she kept going back to?

Her wedding ring - thats what she dissolved in the acid at the end of the episode.

@hollyisalovelyname it was her wedding ring

Maybe someone should write a story where the man gets revenge on his horrible nasty evil wife..
I havent read anything like that , although i am sure that there are books around with this plot, i have never come across any.

have a mad theory re the present in the box! It looked just the right size and shape for a pregnancy test to me ! Could that be why gemma was asking simon whether he was going to have more children or not ? Could they have dtd and she is up the duff by him ! There was enough sexual chemistry between them to suggest they would be at it on the kitchen table the first chance they got !

Or maybe she used a patient's pregnancy test results and is passing the test off as her own. She sends the present to Kate - to mess with her head.
She wants Kate to suffer and become slowly deranged, just like she has become.
Tom's messing with Gemma's head and Gemma's messing with Kates.

Same time next week?

I would have sold the wedding ring - but watching it dissolve away was far more dramatic. I was always rubbish at science subjects, i didnt know that gold could be evaporated like that. i really learnt something.

I know Simon is a filthy lying cheating sleazy bastard but I have to confess I fancied him a bit

He is dishy, i agree figgygal.
very groomed. ( unlike my dh who no longer has to wear a suit for work and they all look scruffy at his place)

Oh I don’t think he’s dishy at all. I don’t want to attack the physical attributes of the actor but he’s very much Mr Average. Which works well when his character is being a smug twat because I think ‘you’re really nothing special pal!’

I wondered what it was inher drawer . It looked like a painted stone and no way resembled a wedding ring box ?

It was a small enamel and jewelled box.

Are we meant to have sympathy for Gemma as I don't have at all.

In the first series she went into crazy mode just because she found ONE hair on her husband's scarf. There were no suggestions that she had ever had cause to doubt his fidelity before so that was just silly.

Then last night she is in to crazy mode within minutes. I am pretty sure no one that mad could carry on being a doctor.

I actually dislike Gemma more than her ex-husband .

Ridiculous plot, terrible writing. I won't be watching any more

She was right though. The long blonde hair was significant. She thought her marriage was strong.

Who wouldn't be rocked by finding out it wasn't.

Any other theories about what was in the gift box? I'm really intrigued - what would she want Kate to hide from Simon?! Could it be a tracking device of some sort, to catch him out in any further infidelity. .. Or a panic button or something to keep Kate safe? It has to be something to either warn or protect Kate, else why would she want her to hide it. Maybe something that reveals a secret on Simon. His email passwords or something?

I'm also intrigued as to how he turned Tom against his mum. Did he use the copied key to plant something in the house to make Tom hate her? Or is he using the knowledge of Tom sleeping with Isobel to blackmail him into going?

WRTTom - my guess is that he's had quite a gruelling couple of years since his father moved away with Gemma being so full of negative feelings. It would only take his dad treating him in a cool way (allowed alcohol at the party, encouragement re Isobel, etc) combined with the snazzy new house to lure him away from his mother's apron strings.

I think the box/gift is something to drive a wedge between Simon and Kate. Already Kate has 'obeyed' Gemma by hiding it from Simon, so already the distrust has begun. Perhaps that is the game Gemma is going to play.

Has anyone got a Radio Times or something that gives a preview for next week?

Either a DNA test showing Drippy Tom isn't Simon's or medical records showing Simon had the snip and so Kate's baby isn't his.

A good friend of mine's partner has an ex wife like this but three years on . There are women - and probably men - just like this in real life, sadly.

I'm still reeling down how quickly the wedding party went from a very middle class do with lots of middle aged people holding glasses of prosecco to the most debauched drunken mess of a party ever. How long were they upstairs for?

Is he a bit of a smarmy prick then Bananas?

Haha I thought the same Durham - one minute everyone was rhubarb rhubarbing politely; the next they were off their nuts running round the garden, dreamily swinging on giant swings and disapparearing for nooky in the spare bedrooms. I think the Prosecco was spiked with LSD.

Harsh Bananas! Ooh sleb gossip!
