Wonder who is taking the photos?!

I assumed slyvias lover

Ooooooooo

The plot thickens

I'm really Enjoying this

Jade isn't as nasty as she seems

The 3 or 4 brothers are def hiding something

Wonder what package Luca has for £10k

Just finished watching tonight's episode. So many family speeches 😆

It's very watchable. Realised Beth's husband is the same actor as ghost soldier in Ghosts.

Agree with pp, Annabelle is not dead. Expecting her to pop up in the last episode.

Jade is a gold digger and using Charlie.. Do we know what the family business is?!

Reckon Luca wants Tash to hide a gun. He told Sylvie he knew of Annabelle's death... Wondering if he was involved - could be she owed him money from the gambling?

Ooh good spot @LemongrassLollipop it is him!

I think she is dead and Charlie knows this but as no body/washed away he needed a fake death certificate or else has to wait another 6yrs

Omg! Didn’t realise it was him! I love ghosts as well!

Well they all seem to be in a financial bind.

Tonight we also heard that Charlie is infertile so who is Sky’s father?

We also now have several dodgy Local characters in the mix.

What will the brothers also uncover about the family business and the financial crisis that is currently facing.

I'm guessing one of the other brothers is skys dad

So which hubby has been unfaithful

@LemongrassLollipop wow. Very good spot. I've always thought ghost soldier wouid be cute with no moustache

And he is !!!

He's very handsome !!!!

Blondes preens herself

@Blondeshavemorefun he does look dishy!

Yep !!

He plays Jude's husband in Bridget Jones' Baby as well.

Do we think Annabelle is the mysterious Ocean-something22 that Sky is messaging with? Her birthdate is 22 November which Jade used to unlock Charlie's banking app.

I think Luca knew about Annabelle's disappearance because he's a local and it would have been big news, although he could have been involved in some other way. We also only have Charlie's word that she was a gambler - it could be a cover story for him taking money out of the business, which is something to do with storage.

Finding it quite ironic that Tamsin Outhwaite is playing a character with a cheating ex-husband called Tom Suspect not much acting required when she was slagging him off!

I did wonder if ocean22 was skys mum but super impressed with how observant you are about the birthdate. It does make it more likely

I'm
Impressed with your detective skills!!!

That though didn't even cross my mind

But I think she is dead so can't be messaging

I was behind. Watched two episodes on catch up and am now up to date I think, having seen the third.

Yes, it's typically Channel 5 vibes, but I'm enjoying the intrigue and looking forward to twists and turns.

Have to say I’m enjoying it far more than I thought I would.

I'm enjoying it apart from all the cheesy songs that keep being played .

There are dodgy men and lying women in it so who knows how it'll turn out !

Sky is definitely messaging her mum who is alive. Her real Dad will be Jo Joyners fella.

Annabelle is played by Christine Bottomley (Early Doors), why would they cast her if she wasn't going to act? 🤣

Maybe we will see flashbacks

Tho is sky knew her mum was alive she wouid say something

I am actually really enjoying this. All caught up and agree that I think Sky is messaging her mum, although not sure she realises.

Probably doesn't know it's her mum

It's a bit daft but I've actually started to enjoy it

Sky seems genuine in her grief so I don’t think she does know who she’s messaging.
