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.

I don't think he has any DNA for a match. He just got a mate in forensics to lie.

See you all on the other side, to compare notes!

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 20:57

Standing by to see whether (1) they can unravel this mess (2) they resolve all the major plot holes and (3) she has another coat.

@CriticalWoman

Maybe Jodie is dead dad's love child's identical twin. The horrid mother agreed to take one of them on as her own but drew the line at having both. The other twin gave birth to Dan who bears a remarkable resemblance to his cousin Tom. Twin sister was having an affair hence Mark is not Dan's biological father. Sounds perfectly plausible to me 😁😁😁
I agree, and also proffered the identical twin explanation upthread Grin

We have not yet, I think, discussed possibly the dodgiest thing of all though:

the Detective's comb-over

My guess is the picnic blanket coat will make another appearance

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 21:02

The coat distresses me.

Smurfymurphy · 04/02/2021 21:02

Here we go!

UnityUnited · 04/02/2021 21:03

Looking forward to this. Jill Halfpenny is brilliant.

Illegal adoption from RPJ?

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 04/02/2021 21:06

Is she out on bail?

Kidnapped a kid and is allowed to live with him after one night in prison?Confused

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 21:06

How does she afford that huge house, if she has no money and had to raid the account of a failing business?

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2021 21:06

How did she get such a large house

Did Ben’s dad give it to her in the divorce /guilt

JazzyGeoff · 04/02/2021 21:06

Dan's Dad arrested and charged with not being Dan's Dad

MythSpentYouth · 04/02/2021 21:08

Uh oh.
She has blue eyes. As does Ben

MichelleScarn · 04/02/2021 21:09

Why does her brother 'owe her?

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2021 21:09

Ben /Daniel doesn't seem shocked by it

Or doesn’t seem to miss his dad /mark

Who does have gorgeous blue eyes

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2021 21:10

Coat alert!

EggysMom · 04/02/2021 21:12

Uhoh. Childhood allergy not present. Did brother fake the DNA result?

sadpapercourtesan · 04/02/2021 21:13

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2021 21:13

Allergic to shellfish

I eat it all the time

the80sweregreat · 04/02/2021 21:13

No, he isn't her son I bet!

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2021 21:14

Well if he isn’t jodies

And isn’t marks

Who the he’ll does he belong to

norwegianwoodpecker · 04/02/2021 21:14

@RigaBalsam

You nailed it with that theory

CriticalWoman · 04/02/2021 21:15

I think she owned the house with Ben. I think it's only part of a house and only has 2 bedrooms because Yaz had to sleep on the sofa in the first episode (Tom's room preserved for Tom)

I really want him to be Tom strangely.
