I was hiding behind a cushion for the first bit, had to ask DH who was dead!

But nearly felt sorry for TLR at the end

AntonDuPig · 05/02/2023 22:15

How good was that!

Can’t believe I actually felt sorry for TLR.

Ryan is a good lad.

Catherine’s scarf will win ‘Best Supporting’ role 😂

Oh yes I'd love that scarf.

Pleasegivemeyourwisdom · 05/02/2023 22:17

Yeah
anne was left out of it

good, she’d suffered enough

LuluBlakey1 · 05/02/2023 22:17

I am a bit disappointed. The scenes with Tommy Lee Royce and the ones with him and Catherine were really strong but I thought the rest was disappointing. All that time setting up the other threads and they were tied up in a couple of sentences at the end. All the publicity about a major character dying and how upset everyone was on set, and it turns out to be the main villain.
Ryan should have been in the last section.

MeOldBamboo · 05/02/2023 22:17

I feel sorry for the unknown jilted bride!

WingingItSince1973 · 05/02/2023 22:14

@ancientgran I thought that. Her older sister most likely was poor girl and the little girl knew she would be next. I'm saying this as a survivor myself so not trying to be flippant. Poor kids 😢

I thought that - that Florence was daddy's "special girl"

EsmaCannonball · 05/02/2023 22:17

Wish Ann had got a bit of screen time.

The denouement of the Faisal/PE teacher storyline was unsatisfying. Alison's probation officer and the pills was a bit deus ex machina and too much happened off screen, e.g. the PE teacher and the images on his phone and Faisal getting his comeuppance.

I'm going to have to watch it again to process it all.

ClandestineAdulation · 05/02/2023 22:12

What happened to Darius Knezivice??

I think he'll have gone down with Catherine being able to say he killed (honestly, no picking at my spelling!) Gary Gogowski as TLR said he was there etc.

Basically my feelings too. Pleased the goodies got their happy ending but as is so often the case, it was a lot of build-up and then a bit rushed.

PurplePansy05 · 05/02/2023 22:18

I think two grannies and a grandad was symbolic - like Catherine, Clare and Richard.

I also thought TLR would come out with a story he did not actually rape Becky. I personally was convinced that was the truth and that he'd say this in the final episode. My money was on dodgy Neil having been a party to it all, but I was clearly wrong. Still can't stand Neil though.

yogz1976 · 05/02/2023 22:12

I wanted her to tell Ryan she loved him back but she didn't :(

I kind of feel like the series has been more about her hatred of TLR than her love of Ryan and the rest of her family.
I kind of appreciate that there weren't any mad twists because it is and always has been incredibly character driven and that ending really showed the innermost, deepest, darkest sides to them both. TLR is just an amazing baddie.

TokyoSushi · 05/02/2023 22:18

And we're done, loved it.

WingingItSince1973 · 05/02/2023 22:18

I suppose with TLR you could ask was he like that because of nurture or nature? He was extremely violent and sadistic. I'm not sure he wouldn't still be like that even with a relatively normal upbringing. Anyway that's deep. Going back to my own crochet 😊

CuriousMama · 05/02/2023 22:18

I thought it was fab. Am glad Alison was in it and helped.

WalkingWinifred · 05/02/2023 22:18

Emotionalsupportviper · 05/02/2023 22:07

BUT WHY WOULDN'T POPPY TAKE HER COAT OFF?!

Because she probably knows her Dad's a nonce

heartbroken22 · 05/02/2023 22:19

Watched it and felt really empty inside. Should have left Tommy to go back in prison for life instead of leaving him to die.

smileladiesplease · 05/02/2023 22:19

Excellent ending

He really knew what he had lost/what he was but tried to minimise but Catherine told him straight.

Sisters cuddle was lovely. Strong uterus holders sorry women

catskittens · 05/02/2023 22:19

so i missed a bit what did fisal get xharged with?
what did rob get charged with?
thanks

martinisforeveryone · 05/02/2023 22:15

Well Tommy gave evidence that he'd murdered Gary but now he's not available to testify, so, dunno.

I really didn't like the first part, where Tommy left the house. So incredibly violent. The second part I liked and think it tied up all the loose ends, even a resolution for Clare and Catherine and so happy the Clare didn't die as I suspected, but the unanswered question still remains

Why doesn't Becky's gravestone mention Ryan?

I really thought when they showed the gravestone at the end they would have added Mum to Ryan!

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/02/2023 22:19

And the double de clutch was a red herring

The chats we have had about that 😂😂

He wasn’t though. All that stuff about Catherine giving him a good life… but then TLR says he “forgives” her (I think her retort was “delinquent fuck”!) which just shows his psychopathic narcissism - nothing good about him. I thought it was really well written!

Yes -he was sincere but took responsibility for his own actions.

Testina · 05/02/2023 22:19

Anon00 · 05/02/2023 22:14

I think the Faisal ending was very weak but ultimately think the Joanna storyline was just in there for the symbolism at the end of dead mum, perv dad and granny looking after the kids ?

I thought it was good. There needed to be other stories going on. This way we got closure on that - we can assume Pfizer is going down. But, it wasn’t a big distraction. Also, it showcased Catherine’s amazing policing that she gets the info even on her last day. On top of that, it shows her humanity because she only gets it because she cared for Alison.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 05/02/2023 22:13

I hope old man beetroot didn't get into any bother

I’d like him to hook up with Alison.

Or Joyce!

storminabuttercup · 05/02/2023 22:20

Absolutely brilliant.

None of the bollocks that people were predicting.
