mistresses - do you think it's set in John Lewis?

[hatwoman]

dh and I do. the only place we have ever seen such perfection is in John Lewis. the whole lot, right down to the strategically placed child-related clutter, it's all John Lewis

but isn;t the cash a pay out from his death? so if he isn't dead will she have to give it back? minor detail I know...

God if my daughter (well I don't have one but if I did....) told me I looked like Posh Spice I'd withdraw pocket money for several weeks!

bodies! of course THAT'S where i've seen him. he was smarmy in that too.

the bi-curious one was in something on tv last night, but can't remember what...

But then it will turn out to have been her husbands all along, when the baby is born holding a spatula and waering chefs whites.

And 9/11 husband will turn out to have been paddling back from Panama in his canoe for the last 7 years.

hatwoman maybe he's renting in panama

xpost with dadada!

lol bundle and hatwoman.

Actually if they go down the baby being white so not the chef's route I will get v annoyed as ds is half Asian and looks 'white' (as do the majority of the 'half asian' babies I know) so that would be a stupid storyline.

Maybe that is why the compensation has taken so long to come through - missing but no proof of death so after a certain amount of time has elapsed, she then receives it?

yes that would surely be why - she said they never found a body in the first episode I think.

She spent years still thinking he might be alive I think.

That would be so awful.

Going back to the trivial....she so did NOT look anything like Posh Spice.

And as someone else said they should have got a takeaway at Office Man's house.

OOh and I want to know why his wife left him suddenly....

Because he is a beast. Half man, half gorilla.

I quite like him, he is better than the Jude Law reject that the GP is about to ahag.

scrabulous, she left him cos she found out he was in bodies! (coudl we have max beesley in mistresses? now THAT would excite me!)

oh just remembered where the bi-curious one was last night - i changed channels and caught a bit of Palace (?) the itv thing about an imaginary royal family. she was flirting big time with the new king - prob about to shag him on his throne. do i sense a theme here...

She is typecast as totty at the moment. Not great.

Max B - noooo! He looks like a chimp!!

She's rather gorgeous though. When she was trying on that frock DW said 'She has absolutely no boobs'.

I just thought 'And your point is....'

And a wonky hair cut. And no boobs.

She can always tell when I'm going to fancy someone on the telly. There's usually a perceptible frostiness then a catty remark to follow.

I think she's also feeling shortchanged by the male totty in this.

men are sort of incidental in Mistresses, a bit like on the Archers

I hadn't realised trying to get preg man was a chef. these things are so formulaic. professionals or creatives - preferably a mix of both. they never make them about accountants or insurance under-writers (who are, of course professionals but ones with a bit of an image problem)

They are incidental in that there isn't much totty but we don't then end up with a load of strong female characters either. That said, that isn't really the point, is it?!

men are sort of incidental in Mistresses life.
