I know I am going to be in the minority here but I get her.

In her circumstances I could see myself wanting to do some of the things she did (not all) I realise that you are hurting yourself more than anyone else but I can understand her.

Anyone else?

Just caught up with the latest episode and yes, Gemma is bonkers but I can't help sympathizing with her now. No, she will not kill her ex husband as we need a response from him to end the series. He has to be one of the most evil tv characters of all time.

In the TV mag I bought today it refers to the 'shock finale'. I don't think that's a spoiler - it's a given.

I too am really enjoying it.

I think that he just has the edge on really bad nastiness!! All coming back to bite him as he has bitten off more than he can chew with the young wife!

Lillie and Kacee, I'm with you, think it is terrific telly. Yesterday's episode, the way they showed what Dr Foster was attempting to do was excellent. Apparently the BBC won't say if there is going to be a third series, the answer would definitely let the cat out of the bag.

Kacee Wed 27-Sept-17 15:05:11

LillIe I'm glad I'm not the only one that's really enjoying it.

Spoiler alert - the next trailer shows someone?him walking along with a pair of open scsissors.

If he doesn't strangle that awful woman I will - her poor son.

Lillie Wed 27-Sept-17 08:31:49

I don't think she did, maybe she swerved and crashed into the oncoming car with Kate and the little girl in it?

For me it is cinematically, psychologically and emotionally brilliant. I'm glad I've stuck with this series after the rather slow over-dramatic start.

Is it a case of can't live with you but can't live without you either with these two.
They appear completely obsessed with each other and have no control over their emotions regardless of the damage they are doing to anyone else.

I'm not sure any of them deserve to win ( but poor Tom)

NotTooOld Tue 26-Sept-17 22:48:46

I think you may be right. No-one can win, can they?

maryeliza54 Tue 26-Sept-17 22:47:29

It's going to end like Hamlet isn't it?

NotTooOld Tue 26-Sept-17 22:47:02

That poor boy. sad

merlotgran Tue 26-Sept-17 22:45:59

My prediction is that she turned the wheel sharply to the left to pull up in front of him and make him get in the car.

Or............

pensionpat Tue 26-Sept-17 22:40:46

I don't think she did. She turned the steering wheel at the last minute. And there is a whole final episode to fill. I anticipate more physical violence from him.

BlueBelle Tue 26-Sept-17 22:39:46

Ohhh er umm did she indeed I think she might have you know

maryeliza54 Tue 26-Sept-17 22:36:52

Did she or didn't she?

CherryHatrick Tue 26-Sept-17 12:57:29

I stand corrected Day6 grin

Lillie Tue 26-Sept-17 12:52:06

I'm getting worried now. An interesting article in The Times today says the writer based his character, Dr. Foster, on Medea in Greek Mythology who kills her ex's lover as well as her own children as revenge. Sounds a bit grisly.

For those of us who have suffered this wouldn't we have liked to? It's just a drama but hey who needs realism when we are hurt!!!!

Alima Thu 21-Sept-17 12:26:18

Just caught up with the latest episode. I think it is very well done, the deed, angst, retribution and all that. The saddest part of all is how their actions are screwing up their son. It would be wonderful if the mum and son drove off into the sunset and got on happily with their lives. Wouldn't be very good TV though. Bring it on!

TerriBull Thu 21-Sept-17 11:09:11

Caught up with this last night. I think the young boy who plays Tom conveys teenage angst incredibly well, not surprising he has it in spades given what his parents are putting him through. Maybe he will be "one to watch" for the future.

NotTooOld Thu 21-Sept-17 10:17:49

Thanks, maryeliza, one's own posts coming up pink must be new since I was last on. That was a good bit of detective work. Perhaps you just need a new life as a sleuth!

merlotgran Thu 21-Sept-17 10:02:37

Aaaaah. Mystery solved, maryeliza. I just saw the Parminster bit.

maryeliza54 Thu 21-Sept-17 09:27:01

I was so intrigued by merlot's post that I did the following blush I replayed the bit of her driving away, I pressed pause when the sign came into view, I couldn't"t read it properly so I took a screen shot. I then went into photos and enlarged it so I could read the sign ' You are now leaving Parminister'. I can't believe I just did that..... I need a life???
