'I know Sarah Parish lost her baby, but she looks really worn out, not like the sex godess she is supposed to be playing' - er, well you would, wouldn't you

Fimbo · 04/03/2009 11:16

Not very well put I agree. She looks like she is in need of a good cuddle.

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2009 11:55

i think hari would let someone in who says he is a sexual lawyer client

so sad about wife having Alzheimers disease , maybe he thought it was easier on his daughter to say mum ran away rather than see her mum wither away?

and isnt jack aka steven brand sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute - almost better than wenty - wentworth miller form prison break

he was in casualty or holby city as well as a doctor!!

I do like it but it is getting a bit ridiculous. All the men are awful too and very creepy, the best one is the cafe owner.

Oblomov · 04/03/2009 13:37

O.k. this is getting ricky-doo-dilous.
AND, yes, yes I know the title kind of gives it away. And I don't know why it hasn't bothered me before. I have watched it from the start. But I am really uncomfortable with all this shagging husbands. And infidelity.
It makes me (prim , so-and-so, that I am) feel ill.
But it is so addictive. can't wait for next week.
So when, is trudi going to shag cafe owner then ? and how is the PA going to be 'disposed of' ?

Oblomov · 04/03/2009 13:41

I think their friendship is really shallow. Apart from solicitor telling doctor about shagging man who then came as client. and gp telling her 'this has to stop, get hari back in your bed'.
Apart from that, they never tell each other anything.
why hasn't orla brady told her friends that her husband is shagging PA and she hates her with a passsion ?

ladyhelen2 · 04/03/2009 13:44

Agree Ormirian. Semi watched it last night (was partly asleep). Irritated the socks off me. I must stop watching it completely. Compare it to Lipstick Jungle, LJ is far superior. Not much by way of infidelity going on in LJ but similar sort of premise - group of friends who are all girls, all about their love lives. Right, I will leave this thread now as I think OI and I are prob in the minority!

Oblomov · 04/03/2009 13:48

Yes, I agree.
It is totally shit.
But I really like it. Atleast I am not shagging anyone elses husband and not telling my friends about it.

fartmeistergeneral · 04/03/2009 16:04

Was it Sarah Parish or Orla Brady who lost a baby?

Also, it's Jess who's hubby is shagging PA. So confusing! So much sex with people they shouldn't necessarily be having sex with !!!!

Truely ridiculous, but I genuinely love it!

Yes, the cafe owner is being lined up to do some shagging with Trudi and - believe it or not - seems to be a decent guy, but no doubt we'll find some bondage gear in the basement of his house or something.

Do NOT see attraction with Richard. Apart from doughy face and body (eww!), he's lied about too many things, and keeping a wife with alzheimers hidden away is a step too far. Love Trudi's house though. Could it BE any more middle class?? Love the style mind.

Poor Hari. However, he does seem quite dweeby but fair play to him for bringing up another man's baby (and he does seem to be bringing her up = Siobhan has barely touched that child). He needs to make a decision. Forgive and move on or quit the relationship.

Phew!! Ok off to clean the worktops. None of these women would consider this - unless they are considering actually having sex on the worktops....

Fimbo · 04/03/2009 16:36

Sarah Parish lost her baby girl to a heart defect which I think she was born with. I was trying to say rather badly that the poor woman looks wretched but perhaps carrying on with her acting is helping her.

newpup · 04/03/2009 17:04

I think it was filmed before she lost her baby girl!

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2009 18:55

sarah lost her baby jan this year

filming eneded in dec, but obv she was ill when she was filming

fartmeistergeneral ahhh, St Elmo's Fire...one of my fave films....!

I loved the first series, and I do watch this one and kind of enjoy it, but it does seem a lot more far fetched this time. I find myself tutting and rolling eyes to ceiling a lot!!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2009 21:12

Does anyone know where the wedding was filmed in the first episode? DP and I live in Bristol and we don't think it's here....

Fluffybubble · 04/03/2009 21:56

Has anyone thought that maybe Jess could get pg now that she's bonked Dominic?? Then will have half bro/sister to Siobhan's baby?! Is that too far-fetched (probably not) ??!!

hackneybird · 04/03/2009 23:17

I love this show and am really entertained by it in a mindless fashion, but it is so silly and preposterous. Don't know how long I'll be able to cope. The last series was pretty daft, but this is going off the rails.

Last night my toes were curling during the scene with the 'Russian' owner of the Oligarch's Club or whatever it was called. And how come every time one of them even comes near a man, said man falls madly in love?

I like Shelley Conn's clothes though. In fact I like her, she is very cool. I'm re-watching 'Party Animals' which is on afterwards. Total tragedy that it was never commissioned for a second series. Lovely Andrew Buchan.....mmmmmmm.......

vjg13 · 05/03/2009 07:48

ooooh good point fluffy bubble. There will be one of them getting pregnant this series I'm sure!

fircone · 05/03/2009 10:31

I don't know why, but this series is starting to remind me of Howards Way. Random successful businessmen, glamorous PAs, slightly jokey background music in some scenes...

slalomsuki · 05/03/2009 10:37

Hackney bird I agree on the party animals comment and I wouldn't have said no to Andrew either.

I've lost the plot with mistresses though not because its complex but because its a big yawn fest

Oblomov · 05/03/2009 12:13

They are all so totally self obsessed.
She goes to counselling. Hari says, I am betrayed, disgusted. still. look of total shock on her face.
I felt like shouting at the tv, wake up and smell the coffee you self obsessed bitch. oh no, she doesn't have time to feel regret. and shame. she's too busy thinking of how badly SHE needs SEX, with that vile vile divorcee man. yuk.
its all her,her,her.
they are all the same.
oh why do I WATCH THIS RUBBISH.

Oblomov · 05/03/2009 12:15

Laughing at Howards Way comparison

fircone · 05/03/2009 12:37

When ds was Siobhan's baby's age, I a) still couldn't walk or sit down properly, b)was seriously sleep deprived. The absolute LAST thing I could have done is gone out seeking a shag from a stranger. I may've booked myself a hotel room though to get some decent kip.

And she's working these long hours, but when she comes in she barely looks at the baby. Most unrealistic. And she can't walk in those big heels.

And the prize for most cringeworthy scene possibly ever goes to Trudi doing the sexy growling noises. Euugghhh.

MrsMcJnr · 05/03/2009 13:16

What's this about Jess having sex with Dominic? did I miss something??

Totally agree with you all on:
a) Siobhan's lover - yuck!
b) how unrealistic it is that she holds down so many "roles"
c) Trudi's growling
d) Katie's clothes

A little confused about the whole Jess/PA situation- if Mark is "with" the PA how come Jess has come along and he's married her and continued with the far less attractive PA?

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/03/2009 14:27

jess seduced him in the office junk room - she was feeling upset that her hubby had slept with his pa
