This week ahead is a bit different, as we got absolutely nothing in the usual Monday night spoilers - but this weekend we did get some articles about the upcoming week, mentioning Ballum and the Raymond/Thompson plots. Not sure what happens on which day, but we do have great writers for the week: Monday 26th… Continue reading The week ahead (week 43)
23rd Oct, the golden ticket
Just when you think you might know where this story's going, another spanner is thrown in and we have to readjust our thinking! There wasn't a whole lot of screen time tonight but it looks like Phil's promise to be 100% totally legit is maybe only about 80%. Screencaps for this episode can be found… Continue reading 23rd Oct, the golden ticket
22nd October, borrowed time
So, in our short scenes from last night we learned that DI Thompson's agenda is rather personal; and that Jack doesn't take too kindly to be politely asked to keep away from the investigation on Phil. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Before all that though, we have a short Ben scene -… Continue reading 22nd October, borrowed time
20th October, Ben’s right
Not much content on Tuesday night - really one key scene in the Arches, with a dynamic forming between Ben and Ellie, and Phil actually taking advice from Ben, which is nothing short of a miracle. Screenshots for this episode can be found here. We open with Phil storming out of the house in typical… Continue reading 20th October, Ben’s right
19th October, gangster granny
So, it's the start of a big week for this Raymond story, and as we saw last night, it's starting to mix with Callum's blackmail story as he does a little manipulation of his own in order to get the details on Ellie Dawkins.. I mean Nixon. And Thompson seems to be even more corrupt… Continue reading 19th October, gangster granny
The week ahead (week 42)
Welcome to the week ahead! After Friday's episode, which saw Ellie take Raymond out of hospital after conning Phil out of £5k, we've got Callum making a discovery that raises the stakes even higher with regards to the custody battle, and the blackmail story seeming to tie in with it a bit. Mon 19th Oct… Continue reading The week ahead (week 42)
15th October, Mastermind
A bit more Ben last night as he was privy to Denise confronting Phil over Raymond, and shades of Christmas where he has to find the balance between reassuring his dad and trying to stop him doing something silly. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. At the Mitchell house, Ben passes comment on… Continue reading 15th October, Mastermind
13th October, step up
Only the one scene last night and it was just Ben, giving Lola a few choice words about keeping her nose out of the Raymond business. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Lola's in shock that Ben's got a little brother; that Phil was the one who got Denise pregnant. I knew she… Continue reading 13th October, step up
12th October, gorgeous
So, in our first scenes since the Big Bad Thompson reveal last Tuesday, we had some sweetness, almost as if the blackmail isn't happening - but we know better. Screencaps from this episode can be found here. Ben watches Phil make a sandwich from a safe distance, and Ben remarks that it'll take more than… Continue reading 12th October, gorgeous
The week ahead – week 41
After a bit of a break on Thursday and Friday (with a little mention of Callum living with his boyfriend from Whitney as she stood trial) there's another week of drama ahead, but it seems to be focused on Raymond rather than the police blackmail plot. But I've no doubt they're going to collide at… Continue reading The week ahead – week 41
