We are being spoilt

new unforgotten and the bay !!!

starts next wed - whoop

we weren’t sure how s3 would be without lisa (morven) but Jenn (Marsha) managed to pull it off so hopefully s5 unforgiven will be the same without Cassie

so s4

series 4 will focus on the death of young mum Beth Metcalf, who appears to have been killed in a targeted attack.

Jenn Townsend is called to help bereft husband Dean, who is struggling to hold it together with four children to look after.

And as Jenn, Manning, and the team dig into the case, "they discover secrets and lies lurk beneath every surface".

ITV drama boss Polly Hill said: "I'm delighted that we will be returning to Morecambe for another series of The Bay. Marsha Thomason delivered a brilliant performance as DS Jenn Townsend, and it will be exciting to see where Daragh takes her character in series 4.

The Bay (www.bt.com/tv/drama/the-bay-series-3-itv-meet-the-cast) has become one of ITV’s most popular returning series with viewers watching the Morecambe-set detective drama in their millions.
Marsha Thomason will return as family liaison officer DS Jenn Townsend for The Bay series 4 in 2023 with familiar faces from Morecambe CID also back in the cast.
In series 4 we’ve been promised another story filled with twists and turns, all set once more on the dramatic and glorious coastline of north-west England.

Written by Daragh Carville (Being Human, Cherrybomb), the police drama first aired in 2019, when Morven Christie (www.bt.com/tv/drama/morven-christie-in-spotlight-the-bay-grantchester-the-a-word) led the cast as DC Lisa Armstrong.
Christie and co-star Taheen Modak, who played Med Kharim, left the show after series 2, with Thomason stepping into her shoes as the local force's family liaison officer in s3

Honestly, I am disappointed in this series, I am finding it a total yawn fest. I don’t find any of the characters very interesting.
Jenn & Chris seem an odd pair?!

Yeah, surely, it was him, the guy he said to, you were useless too at that age. That's what I thought straightaway. Also, why else did they include that scene?

duc748 · 29/03/2023 23:37

Why do not people not say in TV dramas what they'd say IRL? Why does Erin not confide in Jenn about nasty boy Lewis? Why don't the young cops, when the boss says, haven't you lot got anything better to do, say, hey, Boss, we just got a lead on the lighter which we're following up? Still enjoying it mostly, if that sounds a bit negative. Have to say, I thought the scene with Izzie and her uncle on the front was quite touching.

Not sure why they would keep it a secret . She left him in the last series but I thought it was because she was fed up with never seeing him due to his work ?

Jenn seems to have time for everyone except her own kids .

It's a secret because she either is using him for a mug or wants to have her cake and eat it. Or payback for him being at work all the time. She looked furious when he called to say her boyfriend knew what had been going on.

Slightly off tangent but I was very confused by the girl who turned out to be the eldest daughter of Jenn's partner. The first time I saw her I assumed she was pregnant and she seemed too old to be in school.

In yesterday's episode she was wearing a really odd outfit which wouldn't be one I would imagine a school girl wearing and again she looked pregnant to me. Not sure if the character is hiding a pregnancy or the actress is pregnant and they're doing a bad job of hiding it Confused.

VirginiaQ · 30/03/2023 10:11

Oh I've just done some research!! The actress is pregnant! It is distracting as for the first episode I wasn't sure at all where she fit in and it jars a bit that she's meant to be a schoolgirl in a relationship with with an older man when she looks as old as the older man!

Last year they had a character called Jamal who was meant to be at school but looked in his late 20s!

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/03/2023 11:37

So the actress is preg in real life

Playing a role of a 16/17yr

Who they thought was preg as has older bf

But isn't

that's right they did it was really bizarre!

ilovebrie8 · 30/03/2023 16:01

@Blondeshavemorefun spot on! another mis casting! she ;ooked pregnant last night ...surely they can find better people to play the parts so they look halfway realistic....

JMSA · 04/04/2023 06:37

Gave up with this after episode 3. As far as series of the Bay go, this one is by far the weakest link.

lazymum99 · 05/04/2023 21:57

this season is somewhat boring

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/04/2023 21:18

I want to know who Kim is married to

Last one next week

Still not sure who killed the wife 🥲

OP posts:
duc748 · 07/04/2023 00:05

I thought the twist would be, Kim was a bloke. But apparently not.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/04/2023 07:55

I did wonder that

They assumed Kim was a woman

Ans said guess who they are married to
