@CheekyWeeShite

The back pain story line is bloody ridiculous.

a) if you have back pain that bad after a serious injury, over the counter ibuprofen and codeine would be doing fuck all especially after a few years of taking it regularly. Might as well be eating smarties. And likely he’d still be on prescription opiates given that he does seem to still be in a lot of pain.

B) if he’s having terrible back spasms, he’d need to be on muscle relaxants, codeine wouldn’t do shit and he definitely wouldn’t be able to drive.

He's maybe supplementing his prescription opiates with OTC stuff on top. But I agree he would be on muscle relaxants. Or maybe he is but can't take them while working?

@ImAncient

Is Steph going to dob Steve in about all the meds in his car I wonder? Otherwise why bother showing it?
I think Steph will alert Ted. Ted wi then new to either handle it officially or keep it between the two of them (unethical!)

Surely they’d at least be following Jo after releasing her.

Jo’s suspicions about Ryan have begun.

I just don’t know what to think yet. I wish I could binge watch it. Yet at the same time when I binge watch stuff I wish I’d taken my time 😂

HaudYerWheestFella · 28/03/2021 22:57

Anyone noticed this? Kate looking up ryan on the police system

Oh won’t attach photo damn

airforsharon · 28/03/2021 22:59

I think Kelly McD is very good. Her character reminds me of how Roz Huntley initially came across, quite humourless & 'cards close to their chest'.
Never mind Steve shagging, i'm wondering if Kate & Jo will get it on...

MrsRockAndRoll · 28/03/2021 22:59

@Netaporter

Great episode.

Q’s from me:

  1. Who was the voice on Gail Bella’s audio clip? Nige?
  2. Will Jo get caught by still having Farida’s key?
I was wondering that! I felt like the voice was familiar to Steve but he couldn't place it

He is still on prescription stuff as well is he not? He had a prescription in the last episode I think

You'd hope they are having her followed? Doesn't seem like it though

So many names this week, if it was a book I'd be writing them down to remember.

@WeeGobshiteBentBastard

I don't know why people are so annoyed about the Saville reference, he was mentioned in S3 as a Sandsview regular and in a photo with Fairbanks and Cyril Smith Dale Roach.

What I found breathtakingly daring, and relevant, was the reference to the murder of Daniel Morgan which is a real life case of a PI embroiled In paid exchanges of info with Police and Journalists. He was murderered in the 1980s and police corruption is the main reason it remains unsolved.

Sorry haven’t got to the end of the thread, but Daniel Morgan was the Danny Mays character surely?

A PP has said it and I agree that the voice sounded like Jimmy Lakewell - Nick Huntley's corrupt friend and lawyer.

@HaudYerWheestFella

I didn’t notice Kate doing that? Was it on the screen? I think I need to go to Specsavers Grin

He was called Danny Waldron is S3

Dailyhandtowelwash · 28/03/2021 23:03

Good spot re Kate checking out Ryan. I’ve just seen that on Twitter.

The idea has always been that Ryan has kept his nose officially clean since childhood.

RedToothBrush · 28/03/2021 23:04

Kate is so deep undercover she doesn't know it.
Kate always seems to clock the obvious about half an hour after everyone else has cottoned on to whats going on. And she's a right fucking suck up who can't brown nose enough. Its funny how every single undercover operations she's been on has gone tits up and wrong and now her department is under investigation. I don't suspect her of being a wrong 'un. I just suspect her as being the crappest TV detective ever to be written.

Farida knows about the OCG more than she's letting on. She's up to her neck in it, but is seen as a weak link. Steve has clocked its not just personal but he can't be arsed with it, cos he's more interesting in other stuff.

When he said that the boss wouldn't let the 'H' investigation drop and that he'd moved on, it was so flaming obvious he hadn't and thats the reason he's stayed at AC12. He's still suspecting Hastings for some reason and is slowly following it up... He won't shag Stephie. He can't shag anyone due to his back. He's clearly not had anything more than a wank for some time. I mean who would have him with his dire new beardie look. Yuk.

KM is coming across as dead behind the eyes. I am not convinced its deliberate tbh. I think thats her acting style. Her character Jo being involved in organised crime I think is something to do with her mother. She was told to stitch up Farida because Farida's been informing for a while. Farida said 'you don't know what she is capable of' - I bet Farida has witnessed Jo murder someone or cover up the murder of someone and has got the guilts about it.

Buggerthebotox · 28/03/2021 23:05

Daniel Morgan is a real life case. It was mentioned presumably because of the similarities between it and the Vella case. Morgan was an investigative journalist looking into the News of the World (afaik) and found dead in a car park with an axe in his head.

Danny Mays was a character from s3.

It’s also very Jill Dando, including the ‘oddball’ comment,

JustLyra · 28/03/2021 23:07

With Farida, I keep swinging between Jo setting her up to save herself and Jo setting her up to protect Farida from whoever is pulling the strings

Fiddlersgreen · 28/03/2021 23:08

@SusannahSophia no that was Danny Waldron

Oh yes, I’ll have to watch it again.
Buggerthebotox · 28/03/2021 23:09

Waldron! Was played by Mays.
