Yah. Another drama to start fri next week - 2 episodes a week for 3w

The Reunion is an intense drama series that has everything, from the mysterious disappearance of a French student, to a gruesome murder and the destructive power of a decades-old obsession, all set against the stunning backdrop of the French Riviera.

The Reunion is a six-part series that will be shown in weekly double episodes on ITV1 from Friday August 4 at 9pm and 10pm. The drama has already been shown on ITVX from Thursday 12 January 2023

The Reunion tells the story of beguiling French student Vinca Rockwell who went missing one night in mysterious circumstances after discovering she was pregnant. Now, 25 years later, her three former friends reconnect at their school reunion in the French Riviera, including novelist Thomas Degalais (Ioan Gruffudd), who was obsessed with Vinca and returns to France determined to find out why she vanished.

But it transpires that the three friends remain bound together by some twisted secrets of that fateful night and, as the story unfolds, it’s revealed that Thomas and his friend Maxime are connected to a violent murder related to Vinca’s 1997 disappearance that could destroy everything.

"Thomas is still obsessed with Vinca, he can’t let her go," says Ioan Gruffudd. ‘The only way he can get some finality is by going back and when he gets this invitation he can’t help himself. He wants to come back and try to piece together what happened. It’s also revealed that there has also been a murder in the past, which Thomas and his friends were directly involved in!"

Ioan says: "Thomas left the South of France, where he studied at the International School in the early 1990s, in order to become a novelist. But, against his better judgement, he returns for this high-school reunion because he’s still obsessed with Vinca Rockwell, the girl he was in love with back then. She disappeared one night and he decides to come back to try and piece together that mystery. At the same time, it’s revealed that there has also been a murder in the past, which Thomas and his friends were directly involved in. So when he returns to the South of France, that catches up with him and the whole mystery starts to unravel."

Just looked up their ages . Ioan is 49 . His parents had him very young , they were 2 and 11 . 😅

😂😂😂 ridiculous isn’t it? (I’m still watching!)

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/08/2023 20:55

@butterpuffed it’s worth a watch. I thought 1&2 were good last week and you and I like similar stuff

Off the back of this, last week Woman magazine ran an article about Ioan and his now ex wife Alice Evans

WTF i knew they had split up but had no idea things had got so bad between them.

butterpuffed · 19/08/2023 08:50

I watched ep 2 last night [so not quite caught up yet] and found it quite confusing . Lots of French which had subtitles but was partially covered by a black oblong saying SUBTITLES ! May carry on and see if it all comes together .

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/08/2023 21:36

E3 has even more French and subtitles

School was mean yes they were late. But most schools let them in late

Lots of things happening

Roll on e 4

I just don't think I believe in Thomas's character

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/08/2023 23:28

Well he feel shot now he killer someone who was innocent

Well, this just became a drama worthy of Channel 5 ! Thomas' father isn't his father , it's Francis , and Max is his brother instead of being his best friend . They're both dead now though , so long lost family lost again !

Francis put up quite a fight though , tortured , shot twice , and thrown in the river but somehow managed to escape and his phone was still in his pocket and working , not even a drop of water in it 😂

It's all too much for my poor brain to take in lol.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2023 16:13

Just watched so avoided thread till. Kw. Thought be lots of replies and only you @butterpuffed

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2023 16:17

What a good Episode !!

I did get a little confused. What a surprise

So Annabel/mum is leading a double life with two houses ?

Thomas and max are brothers

And max dad did well to be shot twice and drowned but stayed alive to crawl onto the beach

But thomas dad knows he isn't dad of Thomas

Who the hell is alexia

Esp as he killed new dad /dad of max

Any chance alexia is a man as didn't look like a woman shooting

I need to find a recap but can't find one

LittleMonks11 · 26/08/2023 16:23

I'm plodding on reluctantly but I don't like any of the characters so it's hard - and are we meant to believe that Rupert Graves is Ioan Gruffoudd's dad?! All the female characters are dire!

lazymum99 · 26/08/2023 16:42

Gave up after first episode

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2023 17:26

I'm enjoying @LittleMonks11

OP posts:
LittleMonks11 · 26/08/2023 17:27

I want to enjoy it hence plodding on. I think I have one more episode. I was given the book but hadn't read it yet.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2023 19:08

E4 was last night

5 next week. Assume 6 in all

mum2jakie · 26/08/2023 19:16

I've taped this but haven't watched any episodes yet. What's the general consensus - worth a watch or should I not bother?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2023 19:28

Oh watch def @mum2jakie

OP posts:
mum2jakie · 26/08/2023 19:38

Ok thanks @Blondeshavemorefun I'll give it the benefit of the doubt

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/08/2023 11:29

purpleme12 · 27/08/2023 21:48

@Blondeshavemorefun it's Alexis not Alexia. It's a man. But I don't know who it actually is

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/08/2023 23:20

purpleme12 · 27/08/2023 21:48

@Blondeshavemorefun it's Alexis not Alexia. It's a man. But I don't know who it actually is

That makes more sense @purpleme12
