Know nothing about this but have found some C5 original dramas quite good!

For anyone who like me is still trying to find something actually worth watching.

Kate is probably a baddie. She is a minor character , so they generally turn out to be the horrible ones.
Why would Tom's dad move back so close to where the family live though? Bad move!
None of it makes sense really.

Plus was thinking ben had the most gorgeous blue eyes

Unlikely to have a brown eyed son

Soooooooooooo

What’s the plot going to be tomorrow

How did ben get tom

RigaBalsam · 03/02/2021 22:12

But then the Dad did ask for a criminal lawyer which suggests something wrong.

CriticalWoman · 03/02/2021 22:12

Good point about swapping dna results.

ASchuylerSister · 03/02/2021 22:14

I don’t think it would be to swap the results around because when the ‘dad’ was on the phone outside the police station, he said something like ‘They asked me to provide a dna sample. I know but what was I supposed to do?’

Wondering why Jodie's Mum said to her brother he owed her?

purpleme12 · 03/02/2021 22:18

There's something going on with her brother and mum from the preview of tomorrow's episode

ASchuylerSister · 03/02/2021 22:21

Do you think the dna test she did at home will come back not a match??

Applesandpears23 · 03/02/2021 22:23

That was intense. Why did she get in the car with him. If she really believes he abducted her kid why would she go with him? Also wouldn’t any normal person say “actually can I just follow you in my car?” What was the plan, ask him to drive her and Tom somewhere?

Oh good shout 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
User7458 · 03/02/2021 22:24

I don't think she is the mother, it's the sort of series where there will be a massive rushed implausible twist at the end - can't wait

MythSpentYouth · 03/02/2021 22:25

In the photo that Jodi found Daniel’s ‘mother’ had dark curly hair.

Blue eyed Ben could have a dark eyed child as blue is recessive.

Ben also has dark wavy hair.

As does the Gardner....

MythSpentYouth · 03/02/2021 22:28

Yeah, maybe she is not the mother: the woman in the photo (dark curly hair) is the secret love child of her dead father. Her half sister. Who had a secrete affair with...Jason! Or Ben.

gottakeeponmovin · 03/02/2021 22:40

This really is the most implausible drama
The kid is doesn't look like any of the potential parents - he has really strong features (maybe oriental)
Mark surely wouldn't have moved back to the place he took him from
Mark surely would have followed the story of the kid he kidnapped and recognised the Mother straight away
The Most implausible thing if all however is that anyone would dress like that

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/02/2021 22:41

Bens wife died of cancer

Maybe she couldn’t have kids due to chemo

Hence stole a boy

C0rdelia · 03/02/2021 23:06

The actor who plays Tom/Daniel is the son of Brian Molko (Placebo)!!

Yes I do.

Quick google and it looks like the actor’s mum is Vietnamese.

Your so isn’t 96.whatever % of your Dna, he’s 50% of your Dna
This program is so stupid
It’s such a good concept

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 03/02/2021 23:43

It's completely bonkers but I like it.
Though it wouldn't surprise me at all if the the ending will be Jodie & Mark getting together & living happily ever after with Daniel/Tom, well that's after whatever happened in the past has been sorted.

BitOfFun · 03/02/2021 23:51

I'm only on episode 2, but why has Miss SnootyPants got it in for Jodie?

purpleme12 · 03/02/2021 23:52

She took a disliking to her from the start
Although of course she was right!

MerylStropp · 03/02/2021 23:55

Still nobody spotted the Corrie link? Check out the writer! Shock
