@absolutelynotfabulous. Love your user name.

Susan Lynch hasn't appeared yet has she ?
If she hasn't, she is a fairly big name actress so could she be Emma ?
If she has appeared already then knock that on the head.

Who is Dinger ?

They were fairly fancy Royal Albert china mugs that JN noticed and then knew Adam Cory had had an important visitor. They weren't your bog standard mugs, were they ? The best china was taken out.

I'm thinking the doctor is definitely out for revenge.

And would you just leave your daughter home alone when she'd been traumatised by an abduction?

Blonde doctor probably can't say anything as priests are meant to be celibate

i turned it off after 5 minutes. another james nesbitt does ira drama.
but it is jed mecurio
should i retry?

I agree about leaving your traumatised daughter alone after being abducted by the IRA, @NewModelArmyMayhem18
Very odd.

Assumed he was watching Tom doc and daughter so easy to kidnap

Daughter also looked happy dad and doc were hitting it off

Didn’t know Susan lynch was in this. And forgotten

Do we think dead priest is blonde doc dad As mum in home holding a pic of him

But meant do we think Toms wife was in the car with keegan abs kidnapped /chained him to radiator

Blonde doc's father is the priest.

We know that for sure ? Or she’s a hidden love child so he isn’t on birth certificate

Then why did they say they couldn’t trace relatives of him

A Catholic priest is not expected to have a child. They take a vow of celibacy , to my knowledge, when they become a priest.
There were a few "scandals" in Ireland when it was revealed that some well known Catholic priests (and a bishop). had fathered children.

Do we think dead priest is blonde doc dad As mum in home holding a pic of him

Yes but she's a secret love child. So pretty doc and her mum aren't officially the priests relatives.

Susan Lynch hasn't appeared yet has she ? If she hasn't, she is a fairly big name actress so could she be Emma ?

Like this theory.

Ah right

But obv doc knew he was her dad

Definitely something to do with Tom's wife. Whether or not she is Goliath is difficult to say. I think there are too many hints being dropped for it to be her, however I wonder if she found out who Goliath was and it was so explosive (senior RUC/politician/military) and she had to disappear before she was killed to keep her quiet.

Yep, she found out who Goliath was so she had to disappear (now potentially Susan Lynch coming back as her - interesting that the mug shot they have of Emma is much more blurry than the mugshots they have of the other 3 victims). Tom collaborated in her disappearance and made it look like she was a victim of Goliath and he's been covering for her ever since?

I'd like to know who Adam Corry met before Tom and Niamh visited him - when Tom noticed the tea cups.

Who is Dinger ?

He's in the crime scene investigation team on the island, meets Niamh later in the pub where he says he goes back years with Tom and refers to him as an enigma.

@Blondeshavemorefun

Ah right

But obv doc knew he was her dad

That's we are assuming.

As@LadyEloise says, it seems that the priest had an affair with blonds docs mum and blonde doc was the result of the affair. From what I understand, a priest having an illegitimate child in NI, 40 odd years ago would have been a scandal. So the priest may have known he had a child but she would have been kept secret, so wouldn't have been on official records.

I'm still not sure what the significance of blonde doc being there when Izzy was kidnapped was.

It's all a bit convenient that Tori (doc) has recently returned and is now teaching Izzie (Tom's daughter)

Also the owl pendant, especially with the letter E engraved.

As is Tom's house overlooking the island.

And a question re the bodies. Was it Corry's brother who was killed differently than the other 2?

@DuncinToffee

I think Corry's brother was shot from the front. He (Corry) said his brother's killer would have been the last person his brother saw. One of the others was shot from the side I think but not sure who that was.

If Susan Lynch is in this, makes sense she's Emma.

I think whoever Adam Corey met with is key.

Could be anyone. Emma? It could be relatives of the other victims, blonde doc even. Could even be Twomey.

I think there is more to Dinger than meets the eye. He was in Luther and relatively famous so think he is likely to be more than a bit part.

On looking up the cast list, it didn't give any information on Susan Lynch's character Heather Pentland.🤔

As is Tom's house overlooking the island.

Yes, I thought this last night.

It's all a bit convenient that Tori (doc) has recently returned and is now teaching Izzie (Tom's daughter)

And that she was in the hospital Keenan went to and bumped into Tom in the hallway.

@LadyEloise doesn't give anything away (I suppose if it said Emma Episides 3&4, it might be a spoiler 😄).

Radio times recap episode 2
www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/bloodlands-episode-2-recap-questions-theories/

It has some of Adam Cory's diary entries.

I think Keenan might be a red herring and it was his wife who chained him to the radiator and fucked off and left him. But then there was a calling card so I don't know.
