What was the ‘ice blue’ thing at the start with Adam? Some kind of non toothpaste crystal?

Seema's deodorant.

Oh I thought he’d just had a shower and cleaned his teeth! 😂

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 25/07/2025 12:03

Andy Cohen 😂

She needs to dump Aiden, I used to like him and he's just awful now.

And ENOUGH with the swollen balls storyline, it's incorrect and ridiculous.

greengreyblue · 25/07/2025 12:05

Also don’t understand why Carrie told Aiden not to talk to neighbour . Imagine if Aiden had said that to her. That’s really controlling Some double standards here. Thought to be clear I dislike Aiden .

Have you not watched this episode????

@greengreyblue yes those confessionals over food is what’s missing - so often the conclusions about what was wrong with a relationship came about over those chats.

Only seeing them through the window felt we were excluded somehow.

So hoping this means a return to form - I’ve love to hear Carrie dissecting dating as an older woman - post meno dating, what happens when the pressure for marriage and kids is off, dating after a long relationship has ended through divorce or death and you are rebuilding what your future looks like. So much meat to get into, that’s been swamped with this Aiden nonsense

Also we have no idea how soon after the split , the final scene was meant to be .

very true

Doubleraspberry · 25/07/2025 12:39

I felt the last two episodes should have been one 30-45 min one with fluff cut out.

Chippendales isn't a nightclub. The editing discussions on the inner thoughts of child Margaret were painful.I found myself wondering what habits he picked up while writing about Henry VIII. Throwing chicken legs over his shoulder as he wrote? And I'd be astonished if half of her cabinet members over the years smoked pipes - that felt like someone's AI googling gone wrong. I think they've just created such a poor character for Duncan that they can't write that it makes it impossible now for that storyline NOT to ring false.

Shoes/rugs/on/off etc.

But mostly thank fuck for that, and the break up was very well done. And they did leave us thinking she was going to take the crap for quite a long time.

Clearly Seema is now The friend for Carrie, rather than the gang. I did feel a bit forlorn that we didn't get them together except through a window. I wonder if they're struggling to write them.

I think Harry told Charlotte she wasn't meant to move about until the pills kicked in, so presumably they then did.

Miranda and Joy - lovely again. The relationship Miranda has always needed.

Ozempic is totally mainstream in the US. I liked that line (and frankly was rather wondering myself before she said it why he wasn't!). And a reminder that the election still looms.

Holluschickie · 25/07/2025 12:42

SPOILER...

Bye Aidan! But what was in his heavy bags?
Why was Carrie wearing a dirndl? Didnt like her clothes.
Aidan telling Duncan his kids are the best thing in his life.. after all the moaning he does?
The Anthony Gia scene was just ridiculous and made no sense at all. Poor lazy writing. Patti Lupone deserves better
Same goes for Seema deo scene.No way would she try that stupid crystal
Herbert needs to do one with his crying man baby act.
Fastforwarded Harry and Charlotte as usual.
Miranda's apartment is gorgeous.

Holluschickie · 25/07/2025 12:48

Oh also Aidan telling Carrie he needs 100%? The fucking cheek of him.

Yes I have just finished it.

Ah so you got your wish.

Over40Overdating · 25/07/2025 13:10

@Holluschickie I know right?! ‘I need you to say you never loved your dead husband. Sell your apartment that your love and use his money to buy me and my hell spawn a giant house we’ll never live in, be celibate for 5 years until I’m ready, take my wank calls as and when the mood strikes, rearrange your entire life around me when I do throw you crumbs and let me cheat on you with my ex wife and in return I’ll still punish you for what happened 20 years ago and be sad when you won’t act like a doormat’.

I’ve always hated that man and he’s never made a liar of me yet.

Holluschickie · 25/07/2025 13:12

I assume Carrie will start dating Duncan asap so they can have them firmly established by the end of the series!
Duncan is, of course, a caricature because the writers have never met a British person.
Pipe: check!
Tweed: check!
Mutton stew: check!

I did, I cheered ...then booed when she hugged him,in reality she's have told him to fuck off and stopped off in her silly high heels!

He needs to just stop licking her armpits. Problem solved.

Yep and don’t forget a posh accent!

Scorchio84 · 25/07/2025 14:43

Just catching up.. Aidan looks old, I'm aware most people age (not I of course) but even since the last episode he was in...

Edit spelling

Also it kind of jarred @Netaporter that she called Big "John" I might be nitpicking but he was always "Big" maybe new friends, nicknames make no sense?

It was very much a 'hug to finish it and not look callous' from her though, she was looking off to the side rather than looking bereft.

Halle-bloody-lujah! Let's hope that's the last we see of him.

Jonathan Cake is British. I have fancied him ever since someone dinged his car in The Thin Blue Line.

Yes I know he's British, but he's poorly written.
