And once it is welcome to everyone. Looking forward to any number of theories and learning things one never wanted to know about like tiny phones.

<Adds Cornetto's name to list.>

<wonders if it will be worth getting tee-shirts printed>

Ryan must have googled what TLR has done. He must have.

Yep. He must have

Little Poppy had her coat off!

I don't think Neil is being blackmailed. I just think he's a massive p.o.s.

Catherine saying Ryan has to go live with Claire won't help matters. Will push him further away. She's been cold to him a few times already this series. I think she still thinks he will be like TLR

Bloody hell, this is a hard watch, poor poor Catherine

Did she?

How did I miss that? <bliddy dog pushing me off the chair>

Neil talks like Ryan's had one too many cans of beer

After all the grooming TLR did of the multiple women he was engaged to from inside prison in series 2, what was Claire thinking? Does she not think there's at least a small chance he could be grooming Ryan too if given the opportunity?

I noticed that!

Must be when her dad is around she keeps it on

Tell him

she’s Being more restrained than I would be.

wants his games. I know he’s young but still. He would have googled the shit out of it.

Why is she not telling him about Becky?

Come on Ryan. Work it out.

Just tell him!

Struggling to sympathise with Catherine now she’s chucked out her own grandson.

She needs to sit down with Ryan and tell him Everything that TLR has done. Rape, murder, violence, grooming.

Ryan's nearly crying - why on earth can't she tell him?

Yes

Oh Ryan, it's not his fault

Agree Catherine was very restrained. She knows that by slagging off TLR too much will make Ryan react badly.

She cant say it, shes protected him all his life.. but he could google surely

I don't think the rape will be google-able. It wasn't common knowledge - just within the family, I think.

Google won't tell him about Becky though
