Dr Foster is back on Tuesday

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

Hypochondriac dude has to actually get gravely ill at the end, surely?

phoenix1973 · 13/09/2017 10:18

They're all hideous philandering family swapping freaks. Ugh.
What on earth is gemma the GP doing drinking wine with a 15 y.o boy?

Allthecarsarelonely · 13/09/2017 10:22

There is nobody we can root for in this as everyone is either really nasty, unhinged or a back stabbing, cheating liar.

Can we trust James? There must be more to his involvement with Gemma. Why would a nice and reasonable professional man continue to be interested in the unstable mother of one of his pupils? I think he is up to something.

I think that Tom really wants to go back to his Mum. His Dad has either told him something about his Mum or is holding something against him to keep him living at his house. Max said that he and Tom do not really talk about personal or emotional things, but then Tom told him that he does not love his Mum. Could Tom be blurting stuff like that out to his mate to try and convince himself that he does not want his Mum back in his life?

Surely the feminists would also be concerned at what a parody of a woman she is? Confused

Maudlinmaud · 13/09/2017 10:27

Perfume actually you have a point with that statement but the comments about her age and looks are still unkind.

BadTasteFlump · 13/09/2017 10:28

Last night's episode was terrible - not even in a 'so bad it's good' way, just insultingly huge holes in the plot and crap acting.

Can't bear any of the characters and don't care what happens to any of them. Gemma is unhinged - I can't look when she pulls her weird grimaces - and her creepy stalking of her son's friend made me lose any sympathy I may have had for her. Simon is a smug twat. Ginger Neil is so creepy, I can't believe he'd ever manage to pull once, let alone be a serial cheater. The teacher who shagged Gemma must have huge issues to be chasing a woman waving so many red flags - or maybe that character is just completely unbelievable too.

So many plot holes I don't know where to start. I'm not going to watch it anymore, it's too annoying!

BadTasteFlump · 13/09/2017 10:30

Perfume I agree - this series was clearly written by a man (and a misogynistic one at that it seems).

CrizzleMyShizzle · 13/09/2017 10:36

Ginger Neil is the kind of guy I'd shag and then deny it. And then when I next got drunk and horny I’d text him and see if he was up for another shag.

Having sex with her bra on - she isnt that into him is she?
and does she ever work? she is never there!

Orangebird69 · 13/09/2017 10:42

I've had sex with most of my clothes on occasionally... you don't have to be totally starkers to have or indeed enjoy sex!

The80sweregreat · 13/09/2017 10:44

No, i just wondered if it was symbolic or something! i thought it was all terrible last night - a bit of a let down from last week.

BadTasteFlump · 13/09/2017 10:46

Having sex with her bra on

You see that all the time on TV - I always just assume the actress concerned would rather not show the world her baps.

elfinpre · 13/09/2017 10:48

I didn't know you had to be naked to have sex.

NikiBabe · 13/09/2017 10:48

Having sex with her bra on - she isnt that into him is she?

One of exes told me to leave it on a few times he said he found it sexy.

The80sweregreat · 13/09/2017 10:50

Yes, i thought that and fair enough - i think i'd feel the same if i were an actress though!!

elfinpre · 13/09/2017 10:53

As a feminist I'm not at all worried about the portrayal of Gemma or anyone else.

All the moaners and haters are entitled to their opinions and I'm glad to hear a variety of opinions on it.

But at the same time, bugger off now and leave those of us enjoying the programme to get on with it Grin.

Or will you keep watching and moaning about it on here? I guess it passes the time.

NikiBabe · 13/09/2017 11:05

Did she have her bra on when she shagged Neil in the last series?

NikiBabe · 13/09/2017 11:06

I dont remember.

lasketchup · 13/09/2017 11:14

The BBC has had a run of awful dramas lately. The replacement & Trust me being two I watched. I don't know what's going on with their writers but they start off decent then it's like the give up half way through.

I'm disappointed in Dr Foster. First series was very intriguing and the premise was there for a second series (Dealing with a marriage breakdown with a child involved rebuilding your life etc) but they've fucked it up. I would have liked to see her not so unhinged in this series and a strong woman who preferably had stopped the awful facial express and loony laugh/smile.

RubyRed2017 · 13/09/2017 11:18

CrizzlemyShizzle yy re Ginger Neil
(He'd probably think the same about me)

Imbroglio · 13/09/2017 11:30

I think there are plenty of twists to come.

2rebecca · 13/09/2017 11:39

Gemma isn't a feminist figurehead though. All she does is drink too much and obsess about a man who rejected her. She doesn't seem bothered about her career and has no hobbies and doesn't have friends just people she uses.
We're supposed to not notice all that because she's sexy.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 13/09/2017 11:46

I love it how on tv the sheet stays just so, artfully covering the hips during sex whereas in real life it would have been on the floor in 5 seconds and the bra flung over the table lamp Grin

PerfumeIsAMessage · 13/09/2017 11:49

Did she put the bloke's shirt on after to cover her bum? They always do that in fillums. No-one ever says "pass me a tissue now and it's your turn to sleep on the wet bit" as they struggle back into their warm thermal nighty.

amprev · 13/09/2017 11:51

This is exactly what life as a GP must be like - out for a passive aggressive dinner at an enemy's house in the evening, then going for a few drinks in your son's friend's bedroom after hanging about in his garden, then off to hang about in the floodlit garden of your ex husbands modernist mansion, then onto a club where you try to have sex in public with your son's teacher (after kicking someone who has had too much to drink into the recovery position).

I hate myself because I know I will watch it next week and it is the shittest storyline ever.
