Anybody watching? I have questions!

  • Why are they so cool about Liv getting married, she can't be older than 20?
  • Surely her brother would have come back for the wedding?
  • When Rose said she was missing 'the girls' I thought she meant children, but it sounds like they haven't had any yet?

Its corny but a nice distraction from life.
Do any of you recognise the circle pendant Hannah is wearing in Barcelona in episode 1?

Re pendant I was thinking Alex Monroe

tennissquare · 30/12/2024 17:07

Yes I thought Alex Monroe Bee too.

Just to go against pretty much everyone 😀 (I’ve been ill for the last week so I’m grateful just to feel better enough to watch it and feel well)
I loved seeing them all again
Loved the girls on Skype waving to Rose
Nice seeing a different setting
Agree about Hannah’s clothes
Think Rose needs to be nicer to the vicar
Would have liked to see Cora, Tilly and the brother
found it painful watching how much Nathan loves Hannah ☹️

I enjoyed it. Toby Stephens is a great addition.

What I did not like is that Hannah's wardrobe is usually immaculate but every single item she wore just did not seem like her at all, especially the terrible checked blazer and the horrible black polyester plisse dress. The latter was particularly nasty. Nathan's earring was hysterical. Loved how they all laughed at it. Tbh, the styling was off for most of the female cast with the exception of Valentina and the fragrant Wren. Hope it's better tonight.

I quite enjoyed it but have an irrational dislike of Ruth/Granny. I can't put my finger on why. And she always has her collar up at the back. Like I said, irrational 🤷‍♀️

I can't stand Ruth either, think she's cold and snooty and would not want a mother like her.

Think the necklace is this one?

Thanks, thats the one. Gorgeous!

bunnibee · 30/12/2024 18:00

I used to have the dress that Ruth was wearing, except mine was a much lighter blue. It was made by a company called Bombshell by Katya. Give or take £250.

The collar was supposed to stand up. Flogged mine on eBay...

MokaEfti · 30/12/2024 18:08

@bunnibee yes nice dress but collar up in next outfit too, I think she's fixated

Thompsos · 30/12/2024 18:16

Anyone happen to know where the blue pleated dress that Hannah wore to the pre wedding party in The Split is from?

This is the photo of Hannah in her dress. I don’t think they are the same now I look again.

I find her voice really irritating

How old is she meant to be and also Hannah

CollaterlieSistersSister · 30/12/2024 20:04

I didn’t mind it as a bit of escapism, but it was all rather predictable and schmaltzy.

And another here who has missed the reasons why Hannah is so irresistible to men. I’m all for championing older women & not fixating on perfect bodies or physical beauty - but c’mon there needs to be SOMETHING that’s making these men so obsessed with her??

Hollyhocksandlarkspur · 30/12/2024 21:09

We absolutely loved it. Such a great Christmas treat. Loved the setting, the lovely tight funny teasing, relationship between the mother and sisters, Valentina’s stunning wardrobe and the brilliant acting between Hannah and Nathan - moving. Wishing for another whole series.

Jellykat · 30/12/2024 21:32

I'm enjoying it, nice to see it back on even for a short time.

CowgirlKix · 30/12/2024 21:36

Is this a follow-on from the original 'The Split'? Haven't RTFT!

Jellykat · 30/12/2024 21:40

Why is Liv getting married in her nightie?

I just thought that!! The most unweddingy dress l ever saw!

MargaritaPracticallyCan · 30/12/2024 21:46

It was a pretty, escapist watch, beautiful setting, gorgeous people and stunning wardrobe (mostly) - Rose's floral dress was lovely, Valentina's clothes were gorgeous; Hannah dressed like a city lawyer the whole time,.despite being in the beautiful sun-drenched Med. Stephen Mangan was superb again, he needs to be seen in more stuff. The story was a bit lacking tho, it didn't really connect. Hannah was a little irritating right up to the end beach scene where she finally became vulnerable, the dialogue was excellent. Why did the groom run off? All felt a bit Mama Mia. Totally enjoyed it tho!

I’ve always thought the same…
DH loves it, he did the other series too 🤷🏻‍♀️😁
Its lost on me, cringey beyond belief.

suburburban · 30/12/2024 21:54

Where were the facilities on the beach 😂

Jellykat · 30/12/2024 21:59

Oh thats ridiculous, Hannahs going on about not liking how how body looks?
An incredibly intelligent mature woman, and thats what it boils down to.. with a bloke who's hardly Mr Universe.. the scriptwriters fucked up there!

Well, quite.

Mine was rushed through due to DV and DC under 24.

Two years, it took. You also need a Spanish Lawyer in Spain, funnily enough!
