Did anyone else think it was strange that Darius drove off before he had seen Tommy go into the house. Did he know no-one was in? Eg Beetroot’s car was not outside? Seemed odd to me and high risk to leave him floating about on the street.
I thought that was deliberate to freak TLR out a bit and make it clear that he is at Darius's mercy. I assumed Beetroot Man was waiting round the corner and Darious gave him the nod as he drove past, leaving it just long enough to stress TLR out.

I thought it odd to @AndCallMeNancy

A good explanation @MrsAvocet

LadyEloise1 · 01/02/2023 16:13

"It's too not to"
I can hear Catherine Cawood correcting me now Blush

JaneJeffer · 01/02/2023 16:25

I think it'll end with a new version of TLR loose in the streets and the cycle continues but with different players...

Yes! No way that wasn’t a deliberate move.

RandomersAssociation · 01/02/2023 16:48

The current floppy hair does look way too middle class for the character,

It worked for his disguise as be-suited senior policeman, though! If he’d looked anything other than utterly respectable he’d never have got out of the court building.

(Besides - that cell barber-ing scene is going to win all sorts of ‘Making the Nation Happy’ prizes. Grin)

amprev · 01/02/2023 16:50

I thought his teeth looked a bit too perfect too - I’m sure they used to make them look a bit mankier!

diddl · 01/02/2023 16:50

Yes-he ran out if the court shouting "police" & no one doubted it!

Maybe court appearances should be in prison garb!

louise5754 · 01/02/2023 17:01

His skin wouldn't be that clear or soft looking either. Honestly if he looked like a neglected toothless monster no one would believe him when he tried to show his soft side.

the80sweregreat · 01/02/2023 17:20

He is far too good looking to be a baddie

AndCallMeNancy · 01/02/2023 17:35

@amprev agree with your teeth comment. In my profession I support a lot of adults who have had neglectful/abusive childhoods, including people in prisons, and their teeth are more often than not in a bad state. Even with quite young adults in their early 20s. He would look infinitely less attractive with yellow/brown/missing nashers!

JM acts the role superbly IMO but his genes are probably too classy to get the look 100%. He’s not naturally feral or hard-faced but that’s more of a blessing than a curse, let’s be honest. He’s ruddy gorgeous!

AntonDuPig · 01/02/2023 17:47

We’re halfway through the week everyone - just four more days to go!

Eeek I’m so excited for the finale but sad too. There’s going to be a massive void on Sunday evenings afterwards 😢
I haven’t the foggiest how it’s all going to pan out but I would just like to say I don’t want one single hair of our Ryan’s head harmed!
And I want Catherine to get her retirement do - complete with a vol-au-vents and a cheese and pineapple hedgehog buffet courtesy of Joyce’s 2000 smackers!

RandomersAssociation · 01/02/2023 17:53

Gosh, there are some idiots allowed on the Internet!

Apparently people are predicting Nevison is in league with TLR, and that’s why he’s offering the Cawood clan a holiday in Spain. Nevison, father of Ann … Shock

@the80sweregreat

anyone remember how handsome and well groomed (particularly the hair which was magnificent ) Sean Penn looked in Dead Man Walking and he was on Louisiana death row !

It's because we're all used to LOD that descended into farce with everyone a villain

Twatling · 01/02/2023 18:08

@louise5754 yes, tis him indeed Grin

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:08

I love Nev

Rhondaa · 01/02/2023 18:10

Regarding Tommy's teeth I don't think it's like the old days where crims all have rotten teeth, Ashley in series 1 and Darius in this series seemed very well kempt too. Brett in t'smelly flat not so much.

Rhondaa · 01/02/2023 18:12

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:08

I love Nev

He is such a good character I loved all his impatient dealings with dithering Kevin in series 1.

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:13

@Janiie
Ashley had never done any time though and had a very upmarket lifestyle ….and was a family man.
I do miss Ashley I think he lit up the screen in his scenes

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:15

@Janiie
he has really kind eyes, he’s a great actor, just love him

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:16

@Janiie
uuuuuugh Kevin - never been so satisfied to see a character in a grey joggers and sweatshirt combo, horrible little man.

TwoMonthsOff · 01/02/2023 18:20

@Janiie
in series 1 as if he wasn’t hate inducing enough when he got Nev to visit him in the prison and then blamed Nev for everything, no self awareness at all just a nasty little piece of work, I imagined how upset Nev must have been, then he said ‘you can go now’ made me so angry I had to keep telling myself ‘it’s not real’

I loved his missus - now she was feisty! 😁

I agree, Kevin was awful. He could’ve easily done some extra work to get the money for the school fees if he was that desperate to send his girls there.
I hated - HATED - the fact he started it all by being such a disgusting weasel of a man - urgh!

And don't forget, any character even remotely brown skinned must always be in some way secretly related to A.N. Other character who also has brown skin and/or dark brown hair.

These days all the petty crims pop across to Turkey for their new teefs.
