New 3 bit drama on for 3 continual nights

call handler Gabe receives a desperate call from a woman who unexpectedly recognises him

Surely the van disappearing without it being directly associated with him would have got him off the hook, why try to find it?

LadyJGrey · 18/07/2022 22:28

The flash backs are bloody annoying.
The Xmas tree farm fire - did Robbo’s Dad die?
Did Gabe start it?
I was wondering why/how an ambulance control dude would suddenly flip into a criminal ‘mastermind’ with such apparent ease. But if he’s a child fire-starter, maybe that explains it…..?
Doesn’t explain it all though. I’m still baffled. 🤔

Haudyourwheesht · 18/07/2022 22:37

I thought maybe Robbo's brother died. Gabe took/got the blame instead of Sam because of something that's happened before.

*ALL SPECULATION: I have not watched ep3!

Did t his dad say not again to robo

so he’s done fires before

still think dead boyfriend isn’t dead

as if van is at the point wouldn’t they check it

no mention of dead body so must be alive

LadyEloise1 · 18/07/2022 22:55

Are Anthony and Sam working together ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2022 23:05

I don’t think so

tho robbo seems scared of sam

about to beat up robbo and drag him out of the car when he sees sam then turns away

if he had beef with her , hadn’t seen her for years wouldn’t he yelled at her as well

I thought it was Gabe’s Dad saying “not again” to young Gabe, not Robbo.

@Haudyourwheesht - Robbo might have been calling for his brother in the fire. I couldn’t tell.

….. all will be revealed (we hope!)

LadyEloise1 · 19/07/2022 09:25

I too thought it was Gabe's dad saying not again to Gabe.

Me too. Did he take the blame for Sam previously?

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2022 10:12

Sorry gage. Not Robby. The gabo o on end confused me

Haudyourwheesht · 19/07/2022 10:12

Aye, that's probably a good shout. Poor wee Gabe.

I can't see this wrapping up in any sort of convincing way though. It's either going to be utterly implausible or leave loads of loose ends (or both).

I kept waiting for Gabo's dad to shout something funny, it didn't happen so I've given up, can't take the disappointment 😞

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2022 12:19

I was waiting for the inevitable'' sex scene' which didn't come. Which was a good thing
He needs to track that van now

butterpuffed · 19/07/2022 14:29

Only just caught up with this drama . Gabe attracts trouble wherever he goes . I think Sam started the fire too, she's not the innocent she portrays.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2022 14:29

So do we think he’s dead in the van

wouldn’t they have checked the van when they pounded it

OP posts:
butterpuffed · 19/07/2022 14:31

Not sure if Haz is dead or not but if he is, I think she intended to kill him all along and let Gabe take the blame.

Who is haz

OP posts:
LadyEloise1 · 19/07/2022 16:37

I think Haz is Sam's partner. That she says she killed.

Ah now Blondes ....patience .

Have you watched them all ?

do uou know things I don’t

MissBattleaxe · 19/07/2022 18:23

I thought it was slow and clunky with too many flashbacks. I'm also bored of the whole good-guy-in-stressful-coverup thing. It's been done to death

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/07/2022 18:30

I might've binge watched
And I am keeping zipped Grin

They could take away all the empty pauses between dialogue and cut it to 2 hours !

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2022 18:57

I’m not sure how missed the haz name

tonight will be revealed
