The Ex-Wife is a four-part series that begins on Channel 5 on Sunday 15 October at 9pm with each episode airing weekly at the same for the Autumn 2023 season. This drama was previously released on streaming service Paramount Plus on Wednesday October 12 2022. All3Media distributed internationally.

Tasha, played by Céline Buckens, appears to have everything, from her loving husband Jack (Sleepy Hollow’s Tom Mison) and their beautiful daughter Emily to their gorgeous home and seemingly perfect life.

The only problem is Jack’s ever-present ex-wife Jen, played by Janet Montgomery, calls him constantly and refuses to sever ties with his family.

But when it all comes crashing down, Tasha is left with no choice but to turn to Jen, the woman she despises, for help.

The Ex-Wife follows Tasha (Céline Buckens), who appears to lead the perfect life. The only fly in the ointment is her husband Jack’s ex-wife who is an ever-constant presence, speaking to Jack nightly and always turning up to family functions.

Then, one day Tasha returns home to find Jack (Tom Mison) and their daughter Emily missing and, at her wit’s end, she has no choice but to ask Jen (Janet Montgomery) for help. But the pair have never seen eye-to-eye, so can Tasha really trust Jack’s ex?

I saw this advertised a while back but as I don’t have paramount couldn’t see it

Looks good

Think there has been a s2 as well so hopefully that will come later

Oh sorry , I read it below as if Jen had been hit too.
I need to rewatch it properly before next week
Thanks everyone.

Just caught up with episode 3. Do we think that Jack is dead?

It certainly hasn't gone the way that I thought it might.

Maybe Jen and Sam are in cahoots!

duc748 · 30/10/2023 13:11

Is that Occupation Order even a thing? Can a husband (or a wife, presumably) just throw their spouse out and change the locks?

the80sweregreat · 30/10/2023 13:36

Right, caught up and not sure what to think now! Might be that Sam and Jen are in cahoots.
Anything could happen

Def keeping us on our toes

Sam is up to something as he called Tasha last week and said he had to see her , presumably about DNA results ? She's been staying at his place overnight and he's not mentioned why he needed to see her .....

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/10/2023 18:31

Guessing it's not his baby as in not sams

But maybe not jacks as well

God this Hayley is a bitch

the80sweregreat · 02/11/2023 06:40

Hayley is worse than the ex is! 😂

martinisforeveryone · 02/11/2023 09:17

Hayley certainly sounds a piece of work. I guess her first loyalty’s to her brother though and goodness knows what he’s been feeding her and on top of that, she’s Jean’s best friend of at least 20 years.

I keep musing on the twist and the resolution of the story, after all it’s called The EX WIFE so it can’t surely hinge on Jack or Tasha.

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/11/2023 21:50

Ahhhhh just reliesed I'm out out tomorrow night so can't see till Monday

Tho equally mini blondes back at school so can watch in peace 😂

I really want to know what happens .......

Ahh, so it was him that was the baddie

mum2jakie · 05/11/2023 21:32

This is such a bloody good series! I'm going to ask for the book for Christmas

the80sweregreat · 05/11/2023 21:34

It is very good. Well acted

martinisforeveryone · 05/11/2023 21:36

Have you noticed Jen has a wedding ring on her left hand, or at least I'm pretty sure she does in one scene in the bedroom.

Am immediately doubting myself now though and feel like I need to go back and check.

the80sweregreat · 05/11/2023 21:47

Why isn't Tasha in prison for driving without a license?

daffodilandtulip · 05/11/2023 21:59

Wow! Kept you guessing to the end! What a lovely ending.

He gave it back to her tonight after telling her that he had planned it all along.

martinisforeveryone · 05/11/2023 22:02

Aaah I see, must've looked away momentarily. Thank you @daffodilandtulip

That looks set up for another series to me, it can't just end there!

the80sweregreat · 05/11/2023 22:03

Seems set up for another series to me !

Yes! I thought ahh that's all tied up very nicely, when Sam walked on and they zoomed out ... then they had to sneak that end bit in to make you think!

WingingItSince1973 · 05/11/2023 22:05

How did she get the baby abroad when she was meant to have died? Did she already have a passport?

Well, yes, that, and also, if Jack was really planning to take Emily to Toronto, he'd have needed a passport for her, wouldn't he?

Papergirl1968 · 05/11/2023 22:28

Oh god, I thought that was seriously awful. Watchable but awful.
That bit where Jack went to where Jen was with Emily asleep in the cot and yanked the curtains back looking outside for Tash was laughably bad.
I also guessed Emily was alive all along. These type of dramas don't kill babies off.

WingingItSince1973 · 05/11/2023 22:29

@duc748 oh yes that too! It's best not to think too much 😂 But I am surprised Tash got off lightly considering she was speeding too without a license and some poor man died. But then it's fiction I guess and it seems like a series 2 is being set up.
