it is very puzzling what Sonia sees in Reiss
BUT, I wonder if in the end he will turn out to e a criminal mastermind masquerading as a bumbling nerd- maybe there is more to the story of his wife than we know (her mum seems to think so)...and then he ends up engaged to someone with a massive inheritance...

as for Linda without her make up I think it's really refreshing to see a woman on TV looking as nature intended (even though the message we are meant to take from it is that she's too unwell to 'look after herself')
the massive contrast - to the point some women are difficult to recognise without make up- is quite disturbing I think

BlunderMifflin · 20/08/2024 14:36

I thought last night's episode was odd. Have I missed one?? Why was that young lad all bloodied in the face at the beginning and arriving in a cab to meet his dad and then go off somewhere on his own? Was it explained? I didn't catch it if so.
Also the thing with Jean wearing a hot water bottle tied to her back? Was that explained? It didn't seem to have any relevance at all so I wondered if the actress had hurt her back in real life and they had to shoehorn it in.

maybe he is a TIGER! in the bedroom?

newtlover · 20/08/2024 14:38

seems unlikely and never alluded to

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 14:42

Reiss in the bedroom is not an image I like to think too much about tbh ! lol
Not sure what's up with Jean either
Why is Harv still giving the woman money ? Isn't Jean aware of this arrangement? I thought she decided it was a good idea to help her out at one stage? She must know that's why his working longer hours. Or is he not telling Jean the truth?
I thought cabbies had rules over their working hours too ?

Cattery · 20/08/2024 14:46

There was no explanation of either the bloke with blood on his face or Jean with the bad back. Found it all very odd. Wish that Maya would hurry up and be written out. As if Harvey would keep handing over his wages to her. Can’t see how the little that he must earn would be of any help.

Lucky how Jack’s always got a flat “come up”. How on earth would those three be able to afford East London rents on their wages? All ridiculous.

Hope Reiss ends up with a good kicking. Don’t know how Sonia can stand him anywhere near her

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 14:51

I feel that with Harry ( Teddy's son) all might come clear in time as they are both dodgy and something is going down where they live. ( I don't know where they live, but can't be that far )
Teddy might be money laundering , but that is a pure guess and only based on him having the money for nice jumpers and clothes.

Thank you i thought i was going mad! Even went on iPlayer to check I hadn't missed an episode! Glad I wasn't the only one who thought it all a bit odd.

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 14:59

Maya was living in a nice place I thought , why can't she move ( downsize ) or see about some benefits for being her husband's carer?
This will sound harsh, but Harvey didn't beat him up, his son did and he is now in prison. Awful, but not Harvey's fault.
He can't be held responsible for their financial difficulties forever when he has bills to pay himself and probably not earning a fortune.
I know he feels bad about Aaron , but it is a ridiculous storyline

To be fair, Teddy only seems to have one pink frat boy jumper.

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 15:17

True, re the jumpers l!
( he may have bought a job lot though )

Cattery · 20/08/2024 15:42

The arms on the jumpers he wears round his neck are too skinny. Have a look

bizzey · 20/08/2024 15:44

Jean hurt her back moving a sofa when clearing out the garage with Freddy last week.

A scene that had no relevance apart from he could meet up with Anna because he had promised Jean he would do the garage.

Does Reiss know that Teddy picketed the money he was supposed to pass on ?

I presume not !

So Teddy is going to pay Phil with the original money that Reiss had already from the sale of the ring ?

As an aside....I really like Sharon's hair in that low bun !

Looks much healthier 😀 😀!

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 16:16

I had the impression that Teddy would pay the 2k to Phil and take on the debt of the investment money too, but I might be completely wrong about this
The 2k was just interest I thought ?

Yes I thought him giving the money to jumper in the first place was bizarre

Why didn't Reiss shout to Phil through the door that he had done this

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 16:46

From what I recall , Teddy told Reiss Phil was out and he'd pass on the cash
Reiss gave him the money in a brown envelope that he had got from Eve.
I think that Phil is chasing up his original investment though which was a lot more and the 2k was interest, but I might be wrong

suburburban · 20/08/2024 16:54

Begs the question why Reiss was stupid enough to think he could pretend there was an investment

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 17:01

Reiss faked the ' investment ' certificate for Phil and said he'd get a return in a 'few weeks '
I'm hazy on how much he invested.
Reiss had already scammed Sharon by making her clients for the gym accounts pay into his account or something, but that seems to have been forgotten about the clients haven't cottoned on they were scammed too!

It's all a bit fishy / dodgy.

lazymum99 · 20/08/2024 17:10

I seem to remember a figure of £35,000. The 2 grand was just the quick return he’d promised him. Reiss still owes the original investment which is the money he stole from Phil and Sharon (the gym suppliers).

the80sweregreat · 20/08/2024 17:25

35k rings a bell too?
Phil was expecting a return almost straight away hence all the teeth gnashing.
He wasn't like it with Alfie and his many scams !

VoteHappy · 20/08/2024 18:09

I thought Reiss told Sharon that the tax bill was £13.5K?
Then somehow it turned out OK and so he suggested an " investment " into his bank
He just needed around that figure to pay the care home fees?
Sharon looked lovely with her hair like that .
Kathy looked amazing
What ever she is on I'll take a lorry load !
Maybe a teeny bit of lip filler?

VoteHappy · 20/08/2024 18:11

Who was the rough woman with Junior?
George put his foot right in it there!

bizzey · 20/08/2024 18:17

She was a no one to put the others off the scent...

But she had a cunning smile when she knew she was not in the bedroom that George was talking about !

gingercat02 · 20/08/2024 18:59

Teddy jumper said to his son,"You didn't go back home, did you?" when he got out of the cab so they must have beef with someone wherever they lived before.

I think Jean was moaning about being too hot and having a bad backwhen her and Harvey were banging on about her going on holiday.
I thought she said they couldn't afford to pay guilt money/compensation to Maya as they were broke, so that's why Harvey is working so much so he can still pay her.

I really hate Sonia and Reiss. Presumably, Teddy is a loan shark and will screw them over, paying back the loan and have Reiss under his thumb

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/08/2024 19:42

I'm
Not sure if Teddy have Phil the brown envelope

Hopefully tho he was stupid to give it to anyone but Phil

What dodgy business does Teddy have and need an accountant

His son I assume just got into a fight

Yes why doesn't Maya sell and downsize. It wasn't Harvey's fault - it was his son

And why is Harvey stupid enough to keep paying her and Jean silly enlighten to not reliese H is working and no money

Sonja ring is ugly. Def not worth £2k

She trusts reiss with her life which means he will do something more bad

Wonder how much life insurance Debbie has ?

So Elaine is paying for Linda to go to Renan but only for 2w so nothing

Thought usually a month /6w and cost thousands

Will she dry out in 2w - possibly
But unlikely
