Can't decide if I like the new series or not.

I thought it was so sad too! Knew straight away when she was knocked down and they mentioned her hitting her head, that she would die.

I've high hopes for the series. I can't remember what happened with Kim's baby - hadn't she kidnapped a child at one point?

Yeah it was when she did some work in a school in Africa.

The family came back for the baby though.

There's obviously a massive backstory with the little boy. It's 7 years since the last series and they boy is only a few years old in the pic so he's either died or been abducted by the father or something.

No she had another baby. The baby from Africa was taken away, then she had a baby with one of the head teachers.

Oh I had forgotten all about that!! Yes she had Tom Chamber's baby didn't she!

XanaduKira · 03/01/2023 21:44

I don't remember that at all @Goingforplatinum - who was the head teacher?

Thank @OnTheRunWithMannyMontana - that rings a bell now you mention it.

That's made me remember the posh strict teacher from the very first episode - didn't he go back to Africa with her or have I totally misremembered that?

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 03/01/2023 21:44

He was a wrong'un that Chambers!

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 03/01/2023 21:45

Yea @XanaduKira it was Andrew Trenenum (I think?!)

XanaduKira · 03/01/2023 21:46

That's right - what happened to him? Didn't he go to Africa with her? Or had they split up when she came back with the baby?

I'd completely forgotten about her with Tom Chambers - he was a great character Grin

They can fuck right off with that. Jesus. I loved Chlo right back in the beginning.

I didn't even see Janece. Let alone hear Grantley mentioned.

Nor did I

Was upset about Chlo

That family doesn't have much luck

Twonewcats · 03/01/2023 22:06

Well, I'm shook. Did not expect that ending at all.

I'm liking it. First episodes are always a little clunky, as they make sure they shoehorn in everyone's names in every scene etc. But it was a promising start.

Re Chlo, presumably she hit her head, but didn't mention it as she was wanting to do her pitch?
And her therapy animals will be her legacy 😭

Logicalreasoning · 03/01/2023 22:41

Gutted they killed off chlo in the first episode. I will continue to watch it as I love adam Thomas ( Dante )
I didn’t go into it expecting it to be like the old series, much more pressing issues nowadays, I am intrigued about Kim’s kid though 🧐

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 03/01/2023 22:50

They went on about covid a lot too didn't they?

MNHQ has removed this because apparently it is chock full of spoilers.

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 03/01/2023 23:09

@RagingWoke thanks for the spoilers ffs.

Please can we keep this thread spoiler free?

Faircastle · 03/01/2023 23:14

@Goingforplatinum please could you clarify if this thread is for people watching at the pace it's shown on BBC1 on Tuesday evenings (no spoilers beyond that) or if it's for people who are watching the whole of this new series now, via iPlayer. And then ideally ask MNHQ to edit the thread title so we know which it is.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 03/01/2023 23:15

Agreed. Can we amend the title to say NO FUCKING SPOILERS

caravanbuckie · 03/01/2023 23:32

Bloody hell why are you posting about the second episode Sad

Pushingdaisys · 03/01/2023 23:33

Didn’t even know it was back !

Procrastination4 · 04/01/2023 00:47

Thank you so much for that! @Becky11 I’ve just set the tv up to record it. (Didn’t even know I had BBC 3 as it’s not with BBC1, 2 and 4. Weird!

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 04/01/2023 07:15

@Goingforplatinum report your OP and in the text box ask MNHQ to amend the title for you.

XanaduKira · 04/01/2023 08:03
