The Wives is a brand new six-part whodunnit style drama coming to Channel 5 in mid-September, with a star-studded cast including Jo Joyner, Tamzin Outhwaite, and Angela Griffin.

The series follows the Morgan family as they try to move on one year after the disappearance of a family member (Annabelle). Jo, Tamzin and Angela play three sisters-in-laws Beth, Sylvia and Natasha, as they attempt to piece together the shock disappearance of their other sister-in-law, Annabelle, in Malta.

Sorry yes Frankie

But I got confused with the chips in the wardrobe that was in Sean's bedroom

I found it quite unlikely that the police wouldn't have impounded all those casino chips, or at least had an investigation, for which there'd have been no answer, or a further investigation into Luca. But I guess that doesn't serve the storyline and it's not as though much of the rest of it's wholly credible anyway.

Or even looked in the boot

I also can’t see what you can do with stolen casino chips. A casino will know what value of chips you bought when you entered and will be aware of who is winning or losing. You can’t leave or enter with ‘old’ chips.
Although to be fair I don’t think I e ever been in a casino 😂

I guess you could play in casino and swap discs for cash

Some kind of participation in a money laundering scam?

I've never been in a casino either, but then the storyline doesn't seem all in on plausibilities.

I liked the actresses and their interplay with each other. Just wonder why there always seem to have to be a mystery/crime element, usually totally far fetched, attached 😐?

I love casinos and roulette

It seemed a weird plot

Luca who was hired to kill annabel by Frankie , but sleeps with slyvie and helps Natasha by giving her casino chips to look after for £10k

Only wives he didn't have a connection with was beth

It was a funny ending

Not really an ending

I get the feeling the writers think they've been terribly clever with the ending, but it was just rubbish!

I still say s2

We had s2 of the teacher

Next week is s2 of showtrail

S2 of sherwood

S2 of wives will happen 😂

"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? 🤣"

Ahem. Just quoting myself to say I told you so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Was that reallly the ending, I was so confused! I think they tried to make us hate Charlie so we think he deserved it but I don't get it

I have just watched the whole thing. I really like Angela Griffin in this..thought she was very ‘normal” in her delivery . But yes the whole thing was silly but I did enjoy it. Definitely season 2 on its way

You see I actually liked Charlie, they wrote him well. He had an affair so what, he also knew Skye wasn't his so knew his wife had an affair too but still brought her up as his amd kept quiet about it all whilst taking the shit about his affair. That makes him a better person than St Annabelle in my book.

His wife didn't come across particularly nice or caring, and getting pregnant by your brother in law is hardly perfect wife or friend material.

Jade was dumped in it but seemed like she actually cared for Skye.

Gold star to you @ItWasOnAStarryNight

Tho @SydneyCarton did we ever see her as a red head

As a blonde looks nothing like her 😂

@Blondeshavemorefun I assume she was a redhead before the disappearance and dyed it blonde when she was keeping undercover.

The Radio Times had a review of the last episode saying Frankie tried to kill her so she wouldn’t reveal the truth about their affair and Sky’s parentage, but she’d had sixteen years to do that, so why the sudden worry?

Also puzzled as to why Annabelle didn’t just go to the police as soon as she’d escaped from Luca and tell them everything and get them to protect her and Sky 🤷‍♀️

They drew a parallel at the start didn't they with Jade wearing the red dress same as Annabelle and then Annabelle wearing red at the end and getting pushed in the pool just the same 😂

Funny how they set Jade up to be a disliked gold digger and then unrolled her as possibly the most likeable and sympathetic character of the lot.

@SydneyCarton sometimes I read reviews or recaps and can't fathom how they make what they do of it.

I think there must be a lot more to it all about the brothers' business dealings.

Jade was lovely

I do love a recap as do miss stuff

Rewatching s4 of ghosts and the one the basement come up and love and adore Thomas due to painting

Which one is the sexy soldier captain aka Ben

As all play one of the basement lit plus think 2/3 extras

Is it 2nd on right ?

This show reminds us of Big Little Lies, except it’s a budget version with a poor script and hammy acting.

Does anyone know who was in the van?

With Frankie not getting caught it did seem like it was setting things up for a second series.

Also why wasn't the other brother there but Sylvie was? Did I miss something?

Also did jade just leave after Charlie got arrested?
