That’s actually hilarious but he was drugged upto his eyeballs by the same mother 😂

love Olivia Cooke btw she was amazing…also the actress who plays her mother was happy to see her from Eastenders (Nigel’s wife)

The nails going rock climbing, a novice with the ropes...

Oh yes, that's where the mother was from, I thought I recognized her but couldn't place her !

How were there no consequences after the mother was killed? How did they cover that up? It’s really bugging me!

I know right? Especially after the arrest earlier on. Up until then I thought it was quite believable.

Also why did Cherry pretend to drown on holiday, just to get on Laura's good side?

Are there any bakers that can explain how animal blood could be contained within a wedding cake and not coagulate? And leak out and ruin the white icing ?
how did she access the wedding cake anyway 🤣

Did anyone else get really confused about the phones ? I know I don’t need to know so it is inconsequential but what crazy hell was going on ?

sorry don’t know why I quoted there

EachandEveryone · 12/09/2025 00:17

I loved it. Robin acted the socks off the rest of them. It was stupid how ge did nothing for his mother.

fateisdestined2025 · 12/09/2025 03:59

Yh they had an open marriage so it was dads bit on the side.

no consequences as the mother drugged him up and he probably didn’t know what he was doing so was possibly ruled as accidental

pretending to Drown…wanted attention as Daniel’s attention was elsewhere…

no idea about the animal organs in the cake 😂 felt like a killing eve move

the phone but was weird…it takes a phone so long to charge up after a year being powerless 😂

marmiteloversunite · 12/09/2025 07:53

Did Laura change Cherry’s number in his new phone so that Daniel was texting her phone instead?

flyingsquirrelsagogo · 12/09/2025 10:26

I enjoyed it, it was completely batshit! Obviously it was all ridiculous, but I did get annoyed at the part where they took Daniel off the ventilator to essentially die and he came around, seemingly with very little long term effects apart from a weak arm. I actually said “oh come on!” out loud to the telly 😂

Yes

EachandEveryone · 12/09/2025 11:25

I can’t believe she died. Was it the same ending in the book I wonder? I really enjoyed it and wish there was more stuff like that on. I just love looking at the houses. That was actually someone’s home who was doing a complete renovation so it was empty. I dread to think how much it was worth. Robin reminds me of Glenn Close so much and there was a touch of Fatal Attraction about it.

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 11:47

@EachandEveryone I think Olivia looks like Helena Bonham Carter too

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 11:47

@flyingsquirrelsagogo the phone switch really confused me

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 11:48

I’m pretty sure my cat would have zero interest in a phone though 😅

EachandEveryone · 12/09/2025 12:57

That cat would’ve been back ages ago they didn’t seem to care

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 13:00

@EachandEveryone I know and he was so beautiful ❤️ I was worrying about him until a PP said he returned

Cafeconleche · 12/09/2025 17:55

I binged it over 2 nights - so many holes in the storyline, but loved it, batshit and all. However, why didn’t Laura play the recording of Cherry’s mum to her husband? Then he could have spoken to Daniel. Or, failing that, once Daniel had agreed to one last drink, rather than drugging him why didn’t she just Bluetooth her phone and play the recording through the sound system. Also, what happened to Cherry’s ex - surely he could have spoken to the police? And what about the fact that Cherry’s dad didn’t die when she was 14 but was pushed off a ledge by her, and then Daniel suffers a life-threatening fall when alone with Cherry. Couldn’t Laura have gone to the police with that?

On a side note, I know the street that Laura lives on and drive past the house all the time. Total property porn

lazymum99 · 12/09/2025 19:57

Just finished it. Couldn't believe he fished her out the water and no one attempted resuscitation.
completely mad all of it. But very entertaining.
@Cafeconleche is that house in St John’s Wood or Kensington. Looks familiar.

I would love the house in Spain especially if it came with the housekeeper!
Are we going to get a second series called The Wife 😂

EachandEveryone · 12/09/2025 20:26

I can’t beleive they never had a housekeeper and staff in London.

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 20:43

@Cafeconleche what part of London is it? I thought maybe Kensington?

@lazymum99 sorry I just saw your post asking same

CalzoneOnLegs · 12/09/2025 20:46

It had everything, including lots of embarrassing mum and dad dancing 🤣

EachandEveryone · 13/09/2025 00:11

St John’s Wood. Gorgeous.
