THE PACT - s2 - Mon 9pm - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New 6 part drama. Series 1 was good - thread here

not sure if s2 carries on or completely new story /characters as the names don’t ring a bell

Christine’s family, oldest son Will (Lloyd Everitt), youngest son Jamie (Aaron Anthony) and daughter Megan (Mali Ann Rees), are trying to get on with their lives after the recent tragic death of their brother Liam.

As they look forward to Megan’s wedding, the family have their lives turned upside down when a stranger, Connor (Jordan Wilks), arrives in town claiming a connection that nobody could have imagined.

As buried secrets come to light, they must consider who they are and grapple with morality and divided loyalty. As their lives spiral out of control, a terrible pact may be all that can save them.

I really enjoyed it once I got into it. It really showed the complexity of human emotions and motivations, even though it left a lot of loose ends.

Children who are adopted even as newborns often find it hard to settle even in the most loving families -they instinctively feel that they are "abandoned" or "missing something". Babies know their mothers' voices and the smell of their bodies even in utero, apparently. This could explain how Will was such a troubled man - we have no idea how old he was when she "rescued" him. He could even have been a toddler.

Thanks , I did miss it !

Bloody hell

i got it right

I said all kids weren’t hers , stole them

i didn’t actually expect to be right

Also as I’m a Saddo lol. I went searching for Liam’s grave

he was born 11 April 1998 - died 25 may 20 but done weird like

11/4/98 and 25/5/20

surely you would put 1998 and 2020

so he died 22yrs and just over a month

Connor 15/7/98

so was 3mths younger than Liam

thats if the birthdate is correct. Conner said it was the one he was given

if he was in care from one he could have been born same day and be twins and thry guessed his age and if small under aged him

tho obv if in care from day 1 a newborn bsby isn’t the same as a 3mth baby

I have been overthinking this lots 😂😂😂😂😂

I suppose using the same actor was the clue that they probably were twins😊

Law of Averages. 😅

I fecked up when recording again.
But I read the synopsis and reading all your posts on here too so I don't feel so bad. I'm half glad I didn't see it as I just found it a difficult watch.
What happened to the other social worker who colluded with Christine ?
Did Christine kill her ?
How did the children react to finding out they were all stolen adopted and not related.
Why was the other sw like a dog with a bone re Christine and her missing husband and Conor ?
What happened the eldest son ?
Was he convicted ?
He aided and abetted.
What happened the client and baby Liam ?
And no I still don't have BBCiplayer.

I just think it's unusual to call your boys Will and Liam.

Why @timetogetlost

Because they are rhe same name.
William.

Oh. Never thought of that

I finally finished it (watched 1-2 live then 3/6 this week.

Overall I enjoyed it. I guessed they were twins so assume connects mum scarpered with Connor (then abandoned him) after leaving Liam in the flat.

Only thing that made no sense was the friend Beth. She was such a nosy bugger.
Anyway roll on season 3, if it happens

Twins tho 3 mths apart

Surely ss knows the diff from a newborn to a 3nth

Maybe she registered Liam much later? As she got him when 3 months old but da oh s he was newborn?

We don't know how long mother of twins had conner before giving him up/to social services who then had to guess date of birth.

So maybe Both babies were just 6 weeks out, making difference 3 months.
