THE NEST - BBC 1- SUNDAY 9pm

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Starts tonight. Looks good

When two sides of Glasgow collide when a teenage girl makes a pack with a wealthy couple

Dan and Emily live in a stunning house by the edge of a lake and have everything they ever dreamed of

Apart from a child

Years of struggling and many failed ivf

Kaya has no money or job but offers to be their surrogate

It’s quickly becomes apparent that the baby pact has a destructive effect .......

It's lucky it was just a work of fiction then.

Could be a second series, following up on the fact its not a permanent adoption, there is a missing embryo etc etc

Thought it was vile - yet again wealthy couple are able to buy a baby from a vulnerable young woman. Disgusting.

Definitely elements that were vile. But it's not straightforward in the programme - there's complexity in how the story is treated.

Kaya said she wanted to be "a businesswoman" but she never actually specified what sort of business she wanted to get into, did she?

She didn't know
It was just her dream
She envisaged it as a nice life

I didn’t understand how when they showed Kaya stabbing Neve how she was then done for murder. It was obviously an accident as she tried to get the knife off her mother. Why didn’t her mother say it was an accident or was that because she had gone for Neve with the knife so wanted Kaya to take the blame?

I loved it and I’m glad things worked out for all three of them. Thank god that Janice the SW was there for Kaya too.
I just wish that Kaya had the opportunity to explain what really happened with regards to the ‘murder’.

Yes, if SH had told the police what happened she'd probably have been done for manslaughter. Instead she let her child take the blame.

Did we hear what the child's name was in the end? Was it Gracie or Neve?

Exactly Turquoisea the mother took advantage of what happened, brainwashed Kaya / Heather into thinking it was all her fault, never told anyone about the argument with Neve (her sister).

Sam the judge said Neve... assume it would need to stay as Neve, as arrangements were only temporary.

I didn't see the business idea working because she wanted a lifestyle not to actually work and showed no interest in anything that would make her money and involved her working. The bar job didn't last long.
She also couldn't cope with authority figures and just made smart ass sulky comments rather than having adult conversations with them unless they were being motherly like the female social worker and Emily

Can someone explain the significance of Kaya taking off the necklace? Was it to show she felt she no longer needed Neeves ‘forgiveness’ as Kaya finally believed she had done nothing that needed forgiveness and completely accepted that it was a terrible accident while trying to defend her mother. That she finally realised how evil her mother was in letting her take the blame for a murder she did not commit?

Omg was Neve her sister? So she killed her pregnant sister? I missed that bit.

Dan saying “there is no other baby” made absolutely no sense at all. There probably is another baby! And eventually someone would have picked the phone up at the Ukraine clinic. 🙄

Neve was Kaya's aunt. Her mum's sister who had 'stolen' her man.

Neve was Kaya's aunt, her mum's sister. This was unbelievable as in the first video of the mum she was described as "the mother of Neve's murderer" not "Neve's sister" and on Lewis they would have known the relationship so journalist from Lewis would have known. That aspect of it was very silly

@2Rebecca it perhaps wouldn't really work. I didn't truly believe it was ever going to happen it was just an idea of a life that she dreams of. I think that was what they were trying to portray

But who knows

They were filthy rich so could have flown to Ukraine with a translator to sort it out

There was back story though wasn't there to Kaya and her mum's relationship, I mean from before the murder?
That she wasn't a very good mum
I would have liked to have known about that

I agree with your interpretation of why she took off the necklace Raya

Earrings thanks. I’m very slow at working these things out and often come to a different conclusion to the majority so I’m glad you interpreted the taking off of the necklace in the same way.

@Angellegna I agree they would have followed it up through legal channels with the clinic (surely!) but I took him saying there was no other baby to also mean they'd had treatment/embryos before but no successful pregnancies so it most likely wouldn't have worked.

FizzPopping I feel he was trying to explain the futility of trying to follow up with the clinic even the doctor they dealt with seems to have vanished & no-one speaks English. There's effectively 'no baby' as how do you trace what happened to the embryo?

I'd have liked to have seen Jack and Kaya together at the end. Other than that it was a decent enough ending. Yes to PP's suggestion that there could be a part 2.

Thetrinityisshite it looked like the “new pad” was in Scotstounhill.
