THE GIRL BEFORE - BBC sun to wed - NO SPOILERS - TV PACE

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New 4 part drama starting tomorrow night

Jane and Emma move into a rental that is an opportunity of a lifetime

It’s is a luxury Ultra minimalist pad

As long as they answer ledwards - the landlords strange questions and follows the rules that he sets ……….

Remember - if it is too good to be true then it probably is

I didn't see it but I did see the one about sexual assault

They phrased it as something like "pregnancy related..." something" I can't remember now. Maybe it was at the end in the "for information about people who can help you with..." bit.

I watched it on iPlayer and didn't see it hear anything so it was t very effective if there was one.

There has been a warning about sexual abuse each time on screen.

I'm not upset by it. Just an observation really.

I'm watching it, I've read the book and can remember what happened. It is a bit slower.
It's good, agree about the lovely clothes but I always imagined the house to be totally stark white.

Again the switch of emma and Jane rep with the necklace scene I could only tell by what Edward was wearing

Black blazer white top Emma

Black blazer black top Jane

So the rape was a lie by the burglar but she was raped

But not By Simon?

Or was it him and hence them asking her in front of him

And no I couldn’t live there. I like clutter aka belongings

I'm watching the first episode and the woman squeals with excitement at work when she gets the house but then later when she's with her friend she looks at her email says we got the house to her friend like it was first time she knew about it and she'd not known earlier?!!

Thought it dragged a bit today again.

Could definitely have done with being a 3 parter I think.

They're two different actors/characters

oh right ok i'm clearly not following then here!

I've just had to look it up to understand it!

Just watched episode 2. I don't understand the bit about the service cupboard - how was it open? And surely you'd call the police if you found d it!

I just about lucked up that it's two women at different times. I'm enjoying it so far but feel like it's a bit predictable

Then again I'm expecting a twist!

I'm really enjoying this. It's a much slower pace than so much on TV that I'm finding it a refreshing change.

About the service cupboard. My very first instinct as Jane found the bedding in the seduce cupboard was that Edward was living there but then saw the pebble and Help Me and clicked it had been Emma. But then wondered, is Emma really dead? I know she is, we saw Edward cleaning the steps on the opening scenes. I was a bit confused about the rape. So, the burglar didn't rape her. Someone else did (same day? Earlier?) And the police for her to lie about it? Or did the burglar claim he raped her? I'm also just a bit unclear if she deliberate lied or was coerced into lying.

I think she was raped by her friends husband which is why they were no longer friends. The rape happened a week before she said it did and she didn't say who actually did it as her partner was with her when the police asked her about it.
It looks like Edward is using the houses controls to act some revenge on Emma for lying about the tattoo and the mess (one plate and a mag behind a cushion) some psychological torture.
Jane is amazing. So sad with her baby and how she could have potentially survived. Or, like she said, not constantly blaming herself.
Looking forward to tomorrows episode and hope it's resolved in a good way.

She wasnt raped, I think that the picture on her phone was of her work colleagues boyfriend -' we used to go out as a foursome a lot but fell out shortly before she died' - and she said it was the burglar as pc mentioned the pic in front of Simon the boyfriend.

I thought it was she wasn't raped by the burglar, but that she was raped by someone else

Why does Jane still stay in the house where she's sometimes alone with Edward, having been told he may have been involved in Emma's death?

I know she wants to find out what happened to Emma, but that's a high risk strategy.

I think you're right! That's why her and Amanda fell out too I bet.

I do think the person on her phone was her friend's husband, and I do think it was rape. She was distraught when the police told her they knew she had lied.

But then again why would she then falsely accuse Simon of being abusive to save her neck? It's confusing because they've made us empathetic to her from the start.

Was it not both Emma and Jane

She said she was raped. But not by burglar

5 days earlier

Friends hubby could be right as he obv is unfaithful

Yes why stay in that house

I would be running a mile

Still need to know about his wife dying

Maybe that will be in tonight’s

Just finished it on iplayer. Wasn’t the best nor the worst thing I’ve watched. Kept me entertained for a few hours

Finished it too! Def worth watching the last episode.
