Current Episode Discussion VI

man what a brilliant actress Sophie thompson is!! she has me hating her one minute and feeling sorry for her the next.. how can one character bring that much hate and sorrow out in you!! Loved the pretty in pink reference (anyone who knows this movie will understand what she was on about) and then Aunt Sal been nasty to her. but the scene where she digs her nails into ben.. I was hoping something would fall on her head.

Loved the bit with Abi and the "rock of courage", if it doesn't work, just throw it at her head. It was nice the reference to school "this is abuse, we were taught about this at school".

EE did the racist issue much just especially when Yolande and Patrick was talking and he said he gets it every day.. making Jay apologise to her was a good start.. Well done EE

Fab episode lastnight, good ending, i didnt want it to end, cant wait for tonight it is going to be fantastic :cheer: good on Ben for standing up and asking for help. How cute was the scenes with Abi & Ben, i love them two

Jodi.. I read a interview with Sophie Thompson and she said that Charlie (the kid who plays ben) wants to work with her again but on a comedy or something. She said she was terrified that it would cause some damage but Charlie was brilliant through it all and he doesn't have any emotional damage.. She said she loved the part she played and Charlie actually wanted her character to be caught out, find out about her past and get her help. She said she would have liked to stick around more too..

I thought it was a really good episode as well, even my mum thought so and shes not watched in ages properly. I thought Abi is a really good little actress she will b good in the future, i liked when she was locked in the cellar and he bought her some crisps down.
Some of the writing is quite disturbing though when they said you can't tell as there is a black car waiting for you outside, i was like how evil is that.
My other favourite part was the stone that would make Ben brave that Abi gave him and you could see him cling to it nd then he decided to speak up. I twas a great ending can't wait for tonights

"I need someone to help me......"

I think the most distrubing bit was at the hotel when she said she would kill Ben.. she was really really evil.. pure hate in her eye.. I can see her talking her way out of this.. hahaha.. probably say it is all Ian's fault

well yeah everythings Ians fault.

That just reminded me of my other favourite bit last night. The part in the cafe when they were talking about Ian and Phil and Minty said betweent the two of you you have had 8 weddings then Billy said thats twelve if you add my four.

That made me giggle.

For anyone wonder about the wedding for Phil and Ian (like i was), here they are

Phil:
1) married woman so she could get a green card
2) Kathy
3) Kate (I think so.. I am sure her never married sharon)
and this one

Ian
1) Cindy
2) Mel
3) Laura
4) Jane
