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

Is Pete really that naive or just a bit stupid?

Flyingwands · 05/01/2025 21:43

Creepy stalker vibes. Especially the camera.

Magik01 · 05/01/2025 21:44

I think the nanny is also in on it, not sure how yet though!

Flyingwands · 05/01/2025 21:45

Why isn’t social service involved? They should be helping mediate surely?

I agree. She's definitely dodgy!

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/01/2025 21:48

Why leave them where he could get them anyways?

Itsanadventure · 05/01/2025 21:48

100% stalker vibes, he was watching at the start outside school im sure

FancyAnotherCuppa · 05/01/2025 21:49

How is Pete so stupidly naive?

Itsanadventure · 05/01/2025 21:51

Lucy is giving weird vibes but can’t tell if it’s nerves or she’s in on miles weird plans

100%. I think she’s in on the plan and not happy about it.

thaegumathteth · 05/01/2025 21:52

So the nursery sent Theo home for hitting another child? Surely that's an every day occurrence with young children.

Agreed. There are so many implausible gaps in the story that I’m struggling to get into it. Doesn’t feel like a real thriller when there are so many areas that just wouldn’t happen

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/01/2025 21:53

How many parts is this?

Itsanadventure · 05/01/2025 21:53

Total nonsense about the nursery but serious ick vibes from Miles

Wallasey123 · 05/01/2025 21:54

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/01/2025 21:53

How many parts is this?

4 I think?

thaegumathteth · 05/01/2025 21:54

Don't they have to do DNA tests to prove the kids ARE theirs rather than just ones to prove they aren't?

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/01/2025 21:55

Wallasey123 · 05/01/2025 21:54

4 I think?

Thanks could only see 3 on my planner.

Found it. It's on tomorrow then not till next week again.

Jellykat · 05/01/2025 21:55

I think Lucy doesnt like Miles's agenda, but daren't go against him.

Pete needs to wake up and smell the coffee!!

Cornishclio · 05/01/2025 21:55

Just watched the first 2 episodes. Miles is horrible so I hope he doesn't get both boys. Something off about Lucy too,

Flyingwands · 05/01/2025 21:55

Oh no a camera. Bet miles can hack in.

thaegumathteth · 05/01/2025 21:56

That'll be Miles hacking into the monitor then?

Wallasey123 · 05/01/2025 21:58

Do we think they’re just worried about offending Miles in case he gets even weirder or something? Surely you’d just say sorry mate we don’t really know you yet so a holiday is a bit weird

thaegumathteth · 05/01/2025 21:59

I'm finding this so incredibly annoying. I was really looking forward to it. It's just so ridiculous.

Me too. Been looking forward to it since it was advertised and it’s pure shite.

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/01/2025 22:01

It's a bit daft really isn't it?

When theo stayed over all they had to do was not hand him back.
