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.

@EggysMom

Lets sort the DBS thing out after half-term. I could be a sex offender taking the children to a private space "to record a track" but let's not worry about that for another couple of weeks ....

Seriously????

Tut tut ! Private schools have such different rules eh? All about the fancy websites and ' certificates of excellence' !

Good this awful. But I’ll probably still watch it cos there’s nothing else to do Grin

😀 Lockdown drama on 5. Because there isn't anything else to do! So true

"Remember to brush your teeth (with your teeny Buzz Lightyear toothbrush)"

It's so bad, but I'm roaring laughing

How many days has it been since she stole the brush? It’s a wonder he’s got any teeth left Grin

If she wanted a sample for DNA testing, why not use the blood that she'd cleaned off his face?

TheZeppo · 02/02/2021 21:59

Yes, we will ignore the DBS until after half term. Even though we are suspicious, we won’t even send another member of staff with you.

And will they turn the bastarding background music OFF already

Smurfymurphy · 02/02/2021 21:59

Whatshername is a great actress but this is really poor. I’ll watch tomorrow though. Hoping it will be a good ending. It better not be something like she wakes from a dream.

This is too sensible for a drama like this 😂 You've just got to take it for what it is!
Ginfordinner · 02/02/2021 22:01

The ridiculousness of this is so annoying, that I'm shouting at the TV, but I want to see it through till the end.

the80sweregreat · 02/02/2021 22:01

See you all tomorrow for more far fetched drama! Let's see if she returns his toothbrush before he gets any cavities and if the school ever give her the sack!

CriticalWoman · 02/02/2021 22:10

Oh dear. Are we supposed to be rooting for Jodie because I'm finding her totally unsympathetic.

gottakeeponmovin · 02/02/2021 22:12

My husband keeps threatening to stop watching because it so implausible but I can't because I am enjoying the dreadful clothes too much

the80sweregreat · 02/02/2021 22:14

It is very strange. The boys dad is definitely dodgy. She had left her employee out in the cold too, which is a bit unforgivable.
I hope he doesn't die.

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 02/02/2021 22:25

Don't think he will be hers .
All a bit unbelievable a few tweaks and could of been better

norwegianwoodpecker · 02/02/2021 22:36

She spotted her son, from a distance, and he's aged ten years. She knew it was him instantly

The ex Husband didn't even show a flicker of recognition when he shook the boys hand

bumblenbean · 02/02/2021 22:38

What I don’t understand is why the ex and his new wife are still involved in all the family drama? Why were they all together at the funeral, having lunch etc? Surely the last thing she’d want is her ex and the woman he cheated on her with around ... Confused

It is so bad but loving it, loved the whole DBS check after half term thing too..yeah what the heck!!

MerylStropp · 03/02/2021 00:03

One for any Corrie fans... Jill Halfpenny used to be in the show - but did anyone spot the other link to the cobbles?

Wingedharpy · 03/02/2021 02:50

Is the 14 year old Simon Barlow's brother?

EggysMom · 03/02/2021 06:47

That's twice now that he has offered an alcoholic drink when it is obvious that she drove a car to his house. Is that common?

I agree with a PP, there are no children to share custody so why does she see her Ex so much?

User7458 · 03/02/2021 06:49

It was unbelievably bad but I'm looking forward to tonight's episode, I couldn't believe that she stole the toothbrush just after wiping the blood off his face, i though that was why she was carefully wiping, for the DNA

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 03/02/2021 07:49

So full of holes, but loving it so far
