OUR GIRL WILL RETURN!!!

Roll on Series 3 - please be good!

Thanks ladies, I will go back to catch up on what I missed now.

Flowerfan · 08/10/2017 21:59

Well that’s that until Tuesday. I didn’t think OG2 was as good as OG1 but when taken as a new story I like it more and more
Thanks for the watchalong enjoyed it but still up to you two at the typing I’m always two steps behind!!

Ilovelblue · 08/10/2017 21:59

If any of our previous posters or lurkers want to join in after the new series starts on Tuesday 10 October, we'll be pleased to have your views.

Great reading Ilove. Just loved it. You and Rhu are incredibley funny! Enjoy tomorrow night watching OG and I will look forward to all the comments and pictures of CJ/ElvisHalo

Florence16 · 08/10/2017 22:58

Oh em gee so pleased to find this! Captain James is 😍😍😍 DH gives me this look Hmm and just does not share my lust. I miss Lacey Turner and their love story. Michelle Keegan just isn't the same for me Sad

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2017 23:15

Hi Florence. Welcome to the delightful madness of this thread which has been running for three years now. Saying that, I can hardly believe it.

I think many of us agree that Series 1 is our favourite and the CJ/Molly story is a bit special for all of us. I also think it had a very different feel to series 2. We've just had to learn to accept the new character of Georgie, despite the reservations. Thankfully a bit of Elvis thrown in helps quite nicely. Have you read the previews of series 3? We are a little bit concerned about CJ but hoping he has a meatier role this time. It certainly sounds as if there's more for him than just being Elvis and Georgie's pal.

Great to have new posters on here and especially those who appreciate the special charms of a certain Captain. Long may it continue.

Ilovelblue · 09/10/2017 06:48

Hi Florence. Welcome to our madness. Ditto to everything Rhu has said. Our adoration of CJ knows no bounds and even though opinion on Elvis is divided, myself, Rhu and TRish will champion his corner!

Hello Florence.
Welcome to this wonderful forum. I love all things CJ, BUT I am certainly not adverse to ElvisHalo
I also miss Lacey Turner. I have said it before but she will always be (to me) Our Girl. Xx

Flowerfan · 09/10/2017 07:34

Hello Florence and again ditto (one of our favourite words) to the above
CJ is my favourite closely followed by Elvis though the two together make excellent viewing. Similar reaction from my DH little does he know the extent of the madness 😂

WHAJEB1 · 09/10/2017 11:36

Hello, popping in for my pre new season wave Smile! Hope this season has lots of gratuitous shots of CJ us all on the edge of our seats, and gives you lovely lot another years worth of chat. Take care Smile

KeziaOAP · 09/10/2017 11:50

Morning ladies Smile. Told my two friends about S3 starting tomorrow, can't get them interested. They are in their 80s, both really enjoyed S1 and the CJ/Molly romance which resonated with one, she was a WAAF and married an officer. Recorded S2 and watched with them but they didn't enjoy it at all, must admit was the only time I re-watched as well. Don't know what it was about S2 may be not enough of CJ? we got spoilt with S1. Did feel some of the storyline and phrases were too similar and TG didn't quite pull it off.

Having said that am looking forward to S3 the trailer looks interesting.

Ilovelblue · 09/10/2017 21:36

Less than 12 hours to go ladies!

Rhu, TRish and Flower, this popped up on my Google newsfeed earlier which I thought was a little odd, but then again Google knows I have searched for info on Elvis/Luke! I thought it was quite amusing.

TRish I reread our musings from last night's watchalong just now and I did have to laugh in parts (we were going too quickly for me to read and type my comments at the same time). Rhu and I were almost in sync and as one with some of our comments!

TRish47 · 09/10/2017 22:12

Thanks for the video clip Ilove. I doubt LP would have an awkward conversation with Elvis 🕺 I think they are similar in character!
You and Rhu must have great typing skills!
I look forward to your thoughts on S3.
TG had put on Twitter that E10 is a bit of a tear feast!! Sad

SoEverybodyDance · 10/10/2017 10:51

Hello all... Just popping in to say hi! Glad to see this thread is still going. I'm not going to be around tonight unfortunately as I have an evening meeting, but I look forward to catching up with all the comments after I've had a good look at CJ, pref in combats and headset, twirling his finger. I do hope BA has a decent, meaty part this time. TG we are relying on you! We've only been waiting for a few years! The trailers look positive though...

Hoping to see some of the old names dropping by here soon, Jenmc, Pixie, Orphan, Woofie etc... and not forgetting some of the more delightfully named ones like passthecreameggs and furcoatbigknickers... come back, all is forgiven!

passthecremeeggs · 10/10/2017 14:40

SoEverybodyDance I'm here!! Enticed back in with a name check Grin Excited for the new series (although like some others I still lament the loss of Molly).

SoEverybodyDance · 10/10/2017 15:34

OMG! Passthecreameggs That's hilarious... Great that you're here! What have you been doing since series two?

Nothing beats Molly Dawes... sorry MK! You're a brave girl, but it's the truth...

Still, we've got CJ to lust over look forward to!

SoEverybodyDance · 10/10/2017 15:40

Right, come on you lot... It''s stilettos on parade time! And sorry to anyone I've missed!

Damn. Left the stilletos at the nightclub, but ready and waiting .... So lovely to see you guys back again. Hi so, whajeb, creme (sorry if I missed anyone) ... See you all later Grin

Rhubarb01 · 10/10/2017 15:56

Afternoon. Well I'm still here Blush getting myself in position already - a bit like queueing overnnight for Wimbledon!

Lovely to hear from the old time posters. Hi dance, whajeb, Kezia, cremeeggs.

dance I feel nostalgic looking at that long list of names. It's so strange that one TV series created such a connection with us all. If I ever watch series 1 all those feelings 'come back to me'. The Molly/CJ story just seemed to resonate with all of us. We really explored our own feelings in relation to the characters. I enjoyed series 2 but it was really more as entertainment with some CJ thrown in and the pleasant addition of a bit of Elvis. I'm thinking that this series will be something similar. I don't expect to have an emotional reaction to it but I hope it will be entertaining and give us plenty of 'talking points'. I'm quite excited about the fact that we are getting three chunks of story spread out over the next six months or so - possibly more.

Only another five hours and four minutes to go!

Rhubarb01 · 10/10/2017 16:04

Just a quick extra thought - I'm really liking Brains without his moustache. What an improvement! Maybe if he'd looked like that in series 2 during his little 'tent chats' he could have persuaded Georgie to abandon Dr Boring in episode 1 and saved us all the saga that followed.

Rhubarb01 · 10/10/2017 16:07

I'm also going to make it my mission tonight to spot whether anyone has a blood group other than O+ on their chest. So far almost everyone I've seen has that!

Flowerfan · 10/10/2017 16:12

I wasn't here at the beginning of OG1 found you all and ff after checking everything I could find on the BBC site, as like some of you none of my friends watched it thanks I think to Downton. Since finding this site and everything that goes with it can't wait to start at the beginning tonight.

kazzaD66 · 10/10/2017 16:41

As no one knows about my CJ obsession, I'll be recording it and watching it back after the school run tomorrow morning, so will need to find the willpower not to look at this or the twitter accounts until after thenConfused Happy viewing everyone!

KeziaOAP · 10/10/2017 16:41

Rhu reckon I'll be on that mission too Grin may have to double check on watch back!
