UNFORGOTTEN THREAD 2

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought better start a new thread as old one almost full

Almost time for e6

Blondes get excited

Hope Cassie is ok

@dayswithaY

Wish they'd spent more time giving us answers.

How did Rob Fogarty end up storing the body for years
Who's idea was it for him to look after it and why did they trust him
Did they know Rob had died and then panicked about the body
What about Liz losing Fiona's blood sample
How long after the murder did Dean start cocaine smuggling
If Dean hated his Mum why did he send her a Mother's Day card
Why did Ram's dad not talk to him
What did Sheila Hancock know
Why did Ram not notice a pen in the skull when he was giving CPR?

Aargh!

Well yes. We needed at least three more episodes and for CASSIE NOT TO BE DEAD.

@TheSpottedZebra No tears here either. I think the middle of the series was when it peaked.

Thanks Ulysses but who would just crack on with their life knowing someone was storing a body that you had knowledge of and could incriminate you. Did they keep in touch? Ask about the body? We need answers!

I don't get why they removed the head to help prevent ID, but then it was stored at a facility with links to the guy that had the rest of the body. And he really had had enough time to dispose of it, little bit here and there over the years! Gah!

I do want to know why no questions were asked of the 4 about the disposal of the body after it was left in the boot.
So many questions left unanswered.... gaahhhhhh.

Annika Stranded on R4, soon to be on Tv
Nicola Walker stars in it

There's no way that career coppers like Ram and Liz would trust Rob to store the body for years. Liz would have that body disposed of on the night, not festering in a freezer for years.

Incredibly sad ending, I was in tears. But I didn't feel too sorry for her dad, he was so nasty to her the last time he spoke to her.

[quote PrinzessinCressida]@SingToTheSky Thank you. Another one who thought Sunny filling her in would cause her to recover [/quote]
No that would have been just too cheesy, she had to die I'm afraid.

Oh god
I was crying like a right tit
I did last series as well

I don't think I want them to do another one. That felt like a very definite ending to me, the speech whilst Sunni was in the grave yard

To be fair, they've always done that, the loose ends. I felt they did with the last one when the guy said there were more bodies.

I think, it's always been it's strength, in any enquiry into a murder, historic or not, it's not necessarily the case that every question is answered. With this, the main one was- out of the 5 in the car, who was it.

I felt like the way Dean's wife was sitting at the table, and her asking him a few Eps ago "was it about that"- she knew about the cocaine, not the recent one, but previous, but kept quiet as she liked the lifestyle and help for their child it afforded them.

Rahm I wondered with his dad, his son defied him, being a police officer in vice in all things, rather than a doctor. So he blanks him. Remember, Rahm has a right attitude about his race, has used it to get out of situations many times. But what he couldn't escape was in the elder generation of his community, obeying your father is hugely important. He didn't so his dad ignores him. Yet he dutifully looks after his father regardless.

Liz never felt loved by her mum, so has had to grudgingly put up with her. Her dad who she did have a good relationship with has passed away. Yet she cannot be rid of her mum due to a sense of duty. The girlfriend didn't want Liz's mum at their wedding remember, so you wonder if that was another thing her mum was against in an old school style.

Meanwhile, Fiona had a sense of duty to join the police, even though she hated it, so felt cheated when she later found out her dad had hated it too. That's why she drank to cope.

It was all about duty in the end. Even Dean reverting to his family behaviour of violence by killing Matthew, because Matthew killed his brother. A sense of family duty.

And it ties in with Cassie doing her duty by not leaving early, and by putting up with what she felt were her father's wrong choices.

Why did Liz whisper nearly all her bloody lines?
Drove me scatty..

I feel as if there was at least 10 mins more explanation that was chopped to make room for Cassie's big exit.

Much as I liked her, I'd happily have swapped the soaring music and Sunny's eulogy which told us nothing we didn't already know for some ANSWERS ABOUT THE FREEZER.

So disappointed in the last episode. So many questions unanswered. Absolutely gutted. To have a last episode where the main character is in hospital in a vegetative state for half of it is very odd. It felt all wrong. What on Earth were the scriptwriters up to?

Once they’d returned to the hospital I pretty much entirely forgot about the case TBH. 😳

I’ve felt quite sad about some of the frustrating bits this series - not sure how to word it but it’s like waste of potential in a way. Of course the fact the police career was over for fogerty. The fact that Dean was hated by his family for being a copper for thirty years when he actually wasn’t one after a few months. Fiona doing all that work to be a therapist but not having an actual licence. The fact that Cassie was so close to her 30 years being up (not that it would have been ok to die after that time obviously!). The fact she never got to know her dad forgave her 😭

I don’t know, I’m not really wording it properly as I’m too sad now 😳 really must go and watch something funny!

I honestly thought Sunni was going to end by saying "...and you'll never be (un)forgotten"

I'm so gutted at that ending. I can't believe they killed Cassie off like that obviously and I'm really sad that that was her being - a series of being miserable and questioning herself and then she's gone.

But there were so many loose ends in the story - I kept saying to DH 'they better not finish this before we find out who cut the head off!'.

What did Liz's mum know? What happened with Ram's dad? Why store the body for so long? Did the others know? Why the drug smuggling stuff? When did that start? What happened with Liz and Fiona? Too many questions!!

Disappointing in the end, no answers re the freezer, why chop head and hands off then keep all parts of the body linked to you? The smuggling storyline was unnecessary, also how dud they leap to the assumption it was cocaine smuggling, quite specific. Also can police rifle through your financial history before you've been arrested?

Well it was a bit shit not to find out about why Rob stored the body/ did the others know and I would have liked to know if Liz's relationship survives too.

However it is explained in earlier episodes that her mum knows because Liz confided in her dad and he told her mum.

I do think the hospital scenes were very realistic (unlikely to survive is a euphemism for dying/ already brain dead to an ITU Dr). All her family and friends recollections of her were beautiful so I can overlook it.

It felt more important that Cassie's death was authentic than that all the loose ends were tied up for me.

Clawdy my dad & mil have dementia. They have said some horrid things to loved ones. It’s not them as they were the kindest people. It’s just a horrid disease & I can totally see both of them being like that.

Lots of good questions here.

The head and hands were stored only 8 years ago, why? In a macarve way I wonder how they removed a head when the corpse was frozen solid, what tool would you need for that job?

I am bereft though. Completely bereft. One of my favourite programs.

Very much agree about the theme of duty tiktok (must not get confused with Line of Duty... which I enjoy but it would never have me sobbing like this did 😭)

I was hoping we might get some more info on ram’s dad. And dean’s crying annoyed me a bit as yes he obviously wanted to distance himself from the violence but oh yeah massive drug smuggling is fine

Feel like the production may have missed out some plot lines...eg if the storage place (and council clearance deal) was run by Quinn's and that's why Dean had to do run for Felix (they stored body parts and planted body in fridge at clearance to frame Rob). That Liz's dad may have had an allotment shed but that he couldn't get to the allotment and Liz took it on, but where dismembered bits originally stored (further explaining issues between Sheila Hancock and Liz) and why Liz helped Fiona with the blood wwork for DUI, and why Liz mentioned that they went straight home....Maybe though because storyline also included Cass' mental state, there are meant to be such gaps in knowledge...it's not watertight because Cass wasn't either?? Really hope it's not the end of Unforgotten as a series and we get Sunni and the backpack back!

I said the same to DH. Obvious genuine pain at the murder but decades of drug smuggling - no real issues with that it seems.
