Love, Lies & Records

[littlemissneela]

Anyone watching this new series by Kay Mellor?

Not a bad opening episode. I wish I knew I'd needed tissues sobs Rebecca Flack (I hope I have her name correct) is playing a good baddie.

[Rudgie47]

Kaye Mellors work is absolute shite and thats putting it nicely.
Its all the same but in different settings.
Well trodden path, I wish she would retire.

[Italiangreyhound]

Did it just end with her saying she thought she had made a mistake by not sticking with Rick?

He is in the series Vera, and is much sexier as a copper!

[ISaySteadyOn]

scrabbler, I thought it was Miss Hawkins. Glad to know I was right.

[MipMipMip]

I've only just realised that was ther final episode. Felt very incomplete! And forgettable - did Rick and whatsernameake up?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Assumed e6 was filmed before her hubby died


How much did footballer pay to have officials at his wedding

Why on earth would she want her colleague when has hunky hubby to be

Glad Jamie’s sons still wanted to see him

And the whole plot was as the men were gay and couldn’t marry hence the fake marriages

No prositiution

Tho wrong to charge £6/10k

I loved all the Hetic plots and would love s2

[JustDanceAddict]

Thanks southeast that makes sense then!!!

[TheLegendOfBeans]

It wasn’t as bad as “in the club” though. Holy god that was shit and I watch a lot of shit.

[scrabbler3]

It was unrealistic, schmalzy and packed with too many "issues". However, what a cast! Good to see Miss Hawkins from Mr Selfridge in the last ep.

I thought that Flintoff was ok, he was just playing himself really.

[Italiangreyhound]

I love it even though it is a load of rubbish.

The actor playing James/Jamie is very believable.

I did wonder how Kate could not know who she wanted to be with. What was with all the jealousy about Rob and her co-worker. If she was cheating on him what did she care.

The photo sender was ricks partner (olive?) who was having him followed

[southeastdweller]

I missed the penultimate episode - who was sending the photos? I assume it wasn’t Judy as they were all friends again.

In the fifth episode, Kate confronted Judy about it and Judy didn't deny it. They became friends again because Kay Mellor doesn't do logical plots.

[Mrsfloss]

I loved it!! Love Ashley Jensen!

[JustDanceAddict]

Agree re the two guys at the end. Surely they should’ve been arrested too along with Marcia. I missed the penultimate episode - who was sending the photos? I assume it wasn’t Judy as they were all friends again.
Condolences to AJ in real life, that’s terrible & I do really like her.

I agree re Kate and Rick's relationship not being believable.
I felt it was all one sided ( Rick).
Does anyone else think he looks a bit like the actor Rob Lowe ?
She's afraid of being alone
Her house is full fgs.

My sympathy to AJ and family in real life.

[MissEliza]

The storyline about James/Jamie was interesting and the actor did a good job. However as the mother of two teenage boys, I don't believe boys could so quickly accept their father dressing as a woman. That's quite disingenuous of Kay Mellor.

[HelloMist]

Seen a trailer for Girlfriends on soon, another Kay Mellor series. Guessing not many of you will be in a hurry to watch it?

This one has certainly been rather ridiculous. I agree too much packed in. I've found James'/Jamie's character quite affecting in the last couple of episodes: think that actor did a good job. I wasn't bothered about him at first. Maybe they should've shown him with his sons before he started dressing as a woman at work to help us care.

[TheLegendOfBeans]

Plus “Rick” has all the sex appeal if a stuffed badger.

[NecklessMumster]

bloody hell, that was awful, so overdone and ridiculous but i ended up watching it all anyway!

[TheLegendOfBeans]

“Don’t worry about being directly and knowingly involved in human trafficking lads, love conquers all, here, let me marry the pair of you”

What a crock of shit. I love Kay Mellor but some of her plot lines are beyond bollocks.

[dolfinne]

Freddie is in the Fat friends musical too, i wonder if he is friends with Kay Mellor

[southeastdweller]

I thought he was abysmal!

[MissEliza]

Freddie did hold his own though didn't he? TBH I felt a bit choked up watching AJ perform the marriage ceremony knowing her dh has just passed away.

[southeastdweller]

Agreed. Too many characters and too many stories in each episode. I’ve seen every one of Kay Mellor’s series’s and this was the weakest.

Why on earth did they give Freddie Flintoff that role instead of an actual actor?

[Optimist1]

I agree, Mip - fewer plots would have improved this. It's almost as though someone had bet Kay Mellor that she couldn't fit in infidelity, people smuggling, trans issues, infant death, same sex marriage, workplace bullying, etc. etc. in one series.

[MipMipMip]

It's a real shame as this could have been so good. If they had just done as different story each week, so the birth, wedding and death for the first couple, another family the next week. Just have the staff as background. A bit like they do with Doctors (when they're not doing kidnappings, killing and open marriages!).

A missed opportunity.
