My DP thinks Gael and Liv met in Argentina but he wasn't necessarily from there. I'm not convinced about that though. And yes, how come they didn't know about his family before this?
What a baby he was flouncing off, and for what reason really? His parents' marriage wasn't a fairy tale. Grow up and man up, I thought.
Toby Stephens has that irritating public school delivery, soft 't's and almost a hint of American. Also his nostrils are weirdly wide and face the wrong way.
I am almost alone in liking Hannah's navy dress. I thought it was chic among the clichéd florals.
Totally agree that in this world you're either a soignée and expensively dressed Defoe, or you're an incorrigible nerd with allergies or a stammer and fated to go under a bus or have your arse shown you by Nina.
Speaking of... that little lesbian interlude was so weird and just seemed shoehorned in for the husbands strong-armed into watching. (too cynical?)
Glad to read it wasn't really Barcelona. I sat there thinking, 'I don't remember it looking like that.'
I still don't really get the mistress thing – why Wren turned up, what she hoped to achieve, how they agreed to get her to leave, and WHY the FUCK would a married man get engaged?!? Affairs I can understand, but that was just ridiculous. They didn't even need to be engaged for the plot; it would be enough to have the mistress turn up and Toby S dragooned into pretending he's engaged to her.
I also don't get why Valentina waited to deal with her husband's affair until it would screw up Gael's wedding day and then threw a hissy fit about his wedding day being screwed up!
I wanted Christie to turn up. He's hot.
I find Nathan to be a wet lettuce. He/the script was a bit cruel about his new wife and kids though.
If there was a new full series I'd watch it, don't get me wrong, just for the clothes, Nicola Walker, and the occasional nice sisterly moment.
