Exciting update from MNHQ! Series writer Grace Ofori-Attah will be joining us this week to answer your questions about the Playing Nice series. Post your questions for Grace on this thread.

Playing Nice is available to stream now on ITVX

We’re teaming up with ITV to bring you a live watch-along of Playing Nice, their gripping new drama that’s bound to have everyone talking. We’ll be watching right alongside you, so hop into the thread and share your thoughts, theories, and reactions in real time and be in with the chance of winning a £200 voucher for a store of your choice.

Here’s the setup (brace yourself): Set against the stunning Cornish coastline, Playing Nice follows two couples as they uncover a heart-wrenching secret - their toddlers were accidentally switched at birth. Now, they face an impossible decision: keep the children they’ve loved and raised, or reclaim their biological child.

It’s tense, emotional, and we’re betting it’ll spark some heated debate. What would you do in their shoes? Let’s unravel it together - don’t forget the popcorn.

Trigger warning: Playing Nice doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, including family separation, identity, postpartum depression, emotional trauma, and domestic abuse, which some viewers may find distressing

Here we go. Taking a deep breath!

Can’t stand Miles, he’s so arrogant, am hoping he gets his comeuppance at some point, I don’t know how you would keep your composure around him if you were Pete and Maddie.
I do really love Maddie’s style though, bit of a girl crush on her I think.

Jellykat · 12/01/2025 21:15

Bloody hell, its going from bad to worse for Pete

Jellykat · 12/01/2025 21:26

Why isnt anyone picking up on Miles constantly telling Theo hes moving in?

Wallasey123 · 12/01/2025 21:30

FINALLY someone telling Pete to do his job of being an actual journalist. I’d have been looking for skeletons in Miles’ closet from the papers being served

Jellykat · 12/01/2025 21:31

Yes Pete, finally some balls!

Wallasey123 · 12/01/2025 21:44

Miles defo killed his brother and Pete’s dad is a twit. Why are you letting Miles in and getting involved now and not helping your son?!

Jellykat · 12/01/2025 21:52

This has surely got to turn in Petes favour soon, i cant take much more...

BeckyAMumsnet · 12/01/2025 22:01

C’mon Pete, fgs man. I really dislike how Maddie’s PND is used against her. Miles is even more sinister than we first thought, and the bar was set pretty low.

Jellykat · 12/01/2025 22:02

Ahaa, is Lucy going to crack and tell all at some stage during the last episode?

oddbox · 12/01/2025 22:05

Such a hard watch! It has to turn around for them tomorrow, surely?!

Yes I thought so too.

I bloody hope so! Can’t wait to see how! I’m predicting Miles mum comes and drops a clanger to derail things

I hope so! 🤞
Stupid Pete tipped him off though 🤦🏻‍♀️

For sure. There's no way she was introduced just for that.

Dizzywizz · 13/01/2025 19:16

Yeah def Miles’ Mum will be dropping something!!

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 20:10

Oo ooo, i suspect Miles's mum will get back in contact with a horrendous story, Lucy will get wind of it (having always been told Miles had no living family) and having been lied to, spill the beans ..
(or am i overthinking now Grin)

Wallasey123 · 13/01/2025 21:01

Got my 🍷. It’s been a bloody long day at work today so need a happy ending 🤞

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 21:09

OMG bringing up the PND again Sad

Here we go 🤞

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 21:22

Fingers crossed Lucy to the rescue!

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 21:34

OMG why isnt Pete calling the police fast?

SauvignonBlanche · 13/01/2025 21:38

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 21:34

OMG why isnt Pete calling the police fast?

I know - it’s so frustrating!

Wallasey123 · 13/01/2025 22:01

Omg THE CLIFF SCENE 😱

Ok, I really loved it. Yes there were some plot holes but on the whole I thought it was really bloody entertaining and a good escape.

I think the outcome was the best for everyone, this mashed up family unit but honestly I’m not sure I could’ve forgiven Lucy - not completely anyway. I don’t know if I buy the trying to protect her bio son - maybe for a split second yes but then I think she was just too shocked(?) or scared to say sorry actually that’s my baby

Jellykat · 13/01/2025 22:02

Phew.... thank fuck for a happy ending!!!
