Thank you

Jay actor was excellent.

Thanks for new thread Blondes..

Jays gonna blame himself for needing a wee and not being with her when she went isnt he?
Meanwhile Ben will return, unfortunately..

Jay was there too he whole time
He has nothing to be sorry for at all
Unlike Ben !

It was very well done and beautifully acted, but I'm afraid moving me to tears is quite some feat! I can still appreciate it for what it is though.

I tear up at anything tbf !
Dh was more composed , he rarely cries
He might have had a tear today , but he didn't need the Kleenex !

Ah was just looking to see if there was a thread on this. So beautifully done, and thought they balanced the tension well with the snapping about the nail polish, so not overegging the sentiment.

When the fox came out at the end I was in bits.

That fox 🦊
I heard it in the background too ! Along with all that wind!! Very atmospheric

Yes the fox was a good point

I was puzzled as usual by house layout

Lola's bedroom has a window to back. But lexi room Behind /next door has to window /layout isn't possible

I think the phrase ' poetic license' is taken with the sets ! They move those houses around

Totally agree with your point about it not being OTT. They didn't have Ben making it to her bedside in the nick of time, Jay was understandably cranky, Jay was in the loo when she passed ...
I like that it wasn't all saccharin sweet.

Well I was sobbing yesterday and tonight but am very tearful generally as lost my little dog just over a week ago.
Brilliant acting from Jay and Lexie. I thought they might have done it in a similar way to the episode where they were at the seaside where we see Lola dreaming that Jay is with her . I did find Billy a bit frustrating yesterday that he was criticising Ben when he was acting even worse. Thought they were going to section him at one point. I do find Billy hard to warm to though.

Also that she wasn't physically able to say anything at the end. They got the balance of beautiful, poignant and realistic just right.

Yes as soon as Jay went to the loo I knew it would happen then. Apparently very common that people 'wait' to pass the moment they're alone (I know Lexi was there but asleep).

Very well done.

I've never liked Billy much
He was a bully at first too :( and a coward.
I prefer Phil , but I know he isn't Mr wonderful
He is also a better actor ( went to RADA)
I'll miss Phil if he goes for good one day
I'd love him to retire to Spain

Not watched it in the run up at all as suffer with health anxiety a bit and these story lines can trigger it BUT just watched her last scenes and proper bubbled (and I'm not a crier..)

Heartbreaking as a mother to watch even a fictional young girl lose her Mum in such way. I love how they had it that Lexi didn't freak out, but embraced her Mum being at rest. It's like she was no longer asleep but didn't really want to open her eyes until Jay was there too.

I didn’t cry until the fox - but that was lovely. I was about Lexi’s age when my mother died so found that hard when she said I’ll never ever forget you 🥺

I was fairly stonyhearted, and a bit baffled by the darts game, up until the fox.

The darts was a bit far fetched.
However , the ladies won. So forgiven !!
I thought that Mitch would have said about Chantelle , but maybe not appropriate at that time.

I never cry at TV,but I did tonight
Perfectly pitched

🥰💐💐

Was the Fox significant at all?

I blubbed, the same as last night. Great acting from Jay and Lexi. Especially poignant as a young local mum passed yesterday, ok she was older than Lola but she had her husband and daughter around her. I can’t imagine how they are feeling now. Makes me want to have a bit more patience around my children and stop worrying about the stupid things in life, enjoy every was they say.

@CherryCokeFanatic
Because Jay described Lola as being like one: "wily, sassy, scrappy. And sexy, too"

@CherryCokeFanatic when Jay was talking to Lola and saying his goodbyes he said it wasn't really goodbye as they would be together again and might come back as something else. He then said Lola would come back as a fox as she was sassy etc. and he'd be happy to come back as a rat as long as he got to be with her.
