Anyone watching Missing ?

No, not the same without Lindsey.

Nice, though, that she's popped up in the Missing. .

Great actress; understated and never typecast.

Won't be the same without Lindsey...

I loved Line of Duty, are they doing another one next year ?

No, never watched soap, tizliz.

But I AM still recovering from Line of Duty....

gettingonabit In the past did you ever watch a programme called Soap? It was part soap part fantasy, and at the end of every episode it said "confused? you will be next week?" this is a bit how I feel about Missing.

BlueBelle I have Sky on Demand so will download from there, bit difficult watching on my iPad whilst ironing - have to watch something as ironing is SO boring.

Last week I was thinking of giving up on the series, now I'm desperate to see the next episode!

I'd like to know where all those scans were done (as well on whose babies, of course). I'm now starting to wonder if the pregnant soldier is the daughter of the man with (real or fake) dementia at all. Has her mother been mentioned at any time? Perhaps nobody is who they claim they are. Maybe I'm Alice Walker (decides to go for a quick lie down).

...which is why exhibition man's sister is indeed the girl in the photo with Alice/Sophie and Sophie/Alex.

Oh yes....there's a connection between Henry Reed and Turkey. He was paying exhibition man for his sister, which is why (I think) his (Henry's) son was in Turkey fighting and protecting Julien and his friend.

I'm pretty sure Julien is imagining things due to his tumour. Or some things.

Not watching Paranoid-that would be a step too far for me....

I'm finding it very confusing but enjoyable, as was the last series. I luuuurve Julien.

Unlike many, I don't find the women confusing to look at. However I'm struggling with the rest of it.

So: Alice is Sophie, right? Sophie has somehow acquired Alice's body and put it in the shed, and burnt it. The dna test has been done; this has established that the burnt body (Alice) is in fact Sam's daughter. But she's not necessarily Gemma's daughter, is she? Which is why I think Sophie is the real Alice, the one in the café, who's also Sam AND Gemma's daughter. So still alive.

This (to me) explains the similarity in looks between the two girls.

That's about all I can theorise about. I have no idea who is the abductor, or what the motive could be for the abduction. I don't think it's the butcher, though. I think the attack on the wife is a straightforward vigilante attack.

I think the Brig is somehow involved, but not sure why or how. I think he may not have dementia though, and is covering something up.

I think the third girl is from Turkey, and is exhibition man's sister (?).

I don't think pregnant officer has lost the baby. I think she will turned out to have had a premature birth.

Phew.

I am delighted that we all seem to find it confusing, because I really struggleD. Not only to differentiate between the wife and girlfriend but baptise with and without hair and to put that into a timescale. Really enjoy it though and look forward to the final episode next week.
Also watching paranoid and finding the same confusion....anyone else feel the same?

I was totally confused at first (quite a usual feeling for me!), but after I read that it is on two time levels I sorted it out in my head and now love it and am finding it compelling.

Tizliz if you have an iPad you can watch them all on there you don't need to download just watch them episode by episode sometimes it's easier to follow if you watch one after the other a week gives me time to forget half of it

BlueBelle I find those women look too alike as well.
It is convoluted. I don't quite see what those two men were doing in that warzone. Yes those young girl could be half sisters via their dad.
I feel there is something odd about that heavily pregnant MP woman.
I had not thought about the body being switched for a half sister how could one woman manage to shift a body? This is quite fascinating when I can keep up with it.

I'm hooked.

I think the peadophile connection and the introduction of the Iraq 9 year old girl is making things a bit clearer.

I think the 3 rd girl on the fun fair ride looks to possibly be of Arabic descent but how could they have got her into Germany? Am I going way off track?

I think the girl in Switzerland is Sophie Giroux, I think the girl in the shed was Alice who was already dead and held somewhere. Who unlocked the shed door to let Sophie out and put Alice's body in though?

Blimey it's intriguing but the Army connection in Iraq is now obviously getting a little clearer and whilst I thought Brigadier Stone was the one who held them captive, (Sophie/Alice made reference on the seat when she said to him "What you did/done."), I believe he was the facilitator for covering up something one of his soldiers did in Iraq , namely Reed.

I think the butchers wife was ex military police and she was involved in the cover up too and her husband , the butcher, is totally innocent.

Can't wait for the next one but it certainly has been a case of blink and you could miss a piece of the puzzle. Good stuff.

It's well done, but yes, confusing at times, you must not be doing a crossword or knitting whilst watching!

That shot of the camper van was strange, never mentioned again. Sometimes I wish I hadn't deleted the first few episodes as I would like to watch them again. perhaps I can download them - will have to have a look tomorrow (I have a pile of ironing to do so can watch them then).

No, my mistake, she actually spoke to the waiter in English, not French, (although she understood everything he had said in French), and replied "I'm taken" when he asked her out. Taken by whom?

Grrr. this is so perplexing!

And that resprayed camper van? I've just remembered we saw it first in Germany when it was yellow, but recently there was a shot of it painted red in Switzerland - maybe in that Vaaren place where Sophie is now?

We nearly gave up on it. Glad we didn't now.

It needs Jonathan Creek (remember him?) to solve the body in the shed mystery

I agree that as I m getting more used to the characters the two women are different but for the sake of folks that get a bit muddled I would have loved one to have been a redhead or blond to help me out in the early stages
I m well hooked now and as the series is going on it is getting easier (slightly)but I guess if it was easy we wouldn't be so hooked on it
Intrigued as to where the body came from did she lug a body back to the shed and where from ? how did she get to Switzerland ? So many questions. Will Baptise live to see the conclusion? And yes what's the black soldier Dad got to do with it all
Umm love it

Haven't seen this weeks yet but I am totally hooked. Love the characters and the acting is brilliant. The time shifts confused me at first but I think the changes in appearance are done very well.

Oh yes, it's amazing!

That had to be Sophie in Switzerland because she spoke French. Just as it was Sophie who flipped when Baptiste asked her those questions at her house. But I can't see how Sam would be her father as we have already been shown her parents in Paris?

I think the corpse in the shed was a dead body, maybe that of Alice, which had been planted by Sophie, but then the teeth were so old and rotten?

And what's with the black soldier and his father's secret? Oh, and the butcher's wife too?

I agree the two women look alike, but their acting skills are different enough to set them apart, especially lately.

Amazing cast, amazing scenery! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for next week and that's nowhere near the final episode!

It could be that the mother's DNA was taken but if she was not the mother as the girl was dead maybe they just did not say. I think the one shown at the end is the real daughter and she has some reason for not wanting to go home.

Enjoying this, if somewhat confused most of the time. We also wondered if there coild be a third or even fourth girl in the mix somewhere. DNA testing on just the father is plain daft, so has to be there for a reason. We're hooked.
