Happy Valley

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

I don't think Faisal's snapping was too unrealistic as he had been mithered when he was already on the edge with the gangsters, lied to in order to coerce him to commit murder and then there was a wobble. Also when he confronted her about that her mask slipped a bit and she started giving him abuse, was fully expecting her to tell him he was a crap shag/had a tiny dick in that rant. He already had a problem and that problem was proving to be more unstable than he realised, every option mentioned in the lead up put him in more danger so he just lost it.

Very reminiscent of Sherwood though so didn't shock me as much.

I don't think the teacher is going to be a peeeedo (have to spell it diff on here) just that he wants to make himself look good and a caring teacher , it will make it less believable that he is abusing his wife , obviously not thinking about all the bruises she is covered in

Saying that though I could actually imagine something happening where Ryan ends up helping to move the body as the previous poster said , it is far fetched but not too over the top for Happy Valley

It reminded me of Sherwood too, that was my first thought after watching it.

They are quite young so probably still need collecting. He'll probably get a phone call and assume she's taken drugs again and is passed out in bed. I'm sure they mentioned her forgetting to collect them before in the first episode.

Ah yes, of course. I know they’re fictional characters but it did hurt my heart thinking of those poor scared little girls finding their mother dead.

I’ve been mulling over the Ryan - TLR relationship. Ryan seems, in a lot of other ways, quite perceptive imo, albeit short tempered, and it doesn’t seem realistic to me that he would buy into TLR’s very thin ‘lovely’ facade. I mean, he couldn’t even keep up the image for more than a single visit, snarling at Neil more than once. I also think, given he’s a teenager I’m todays society, he will have extensively googled his dad. He knows what he did, bar exactly what happened to his mother altho he pieces that together relatively quickly despite Catherine’s daft riddles.

That made me laugh , bloody nose after tackling that lad and immediately making a call about another case

I struggle to imagine Faisal and Joanna having had a trade agreement of sex for drugs. There is no chemistry whatsoever. Are we meant to think he's frustrated with his wife who wants expensive building work etc? He seems such a clumsy flake. Probably thinking too much about it and it just is what it is.

No I agree, when she said the other week “do you want to go to bed” or whatever she said I was shocked, I thought he had just felt sorry for her or something and it had escalated

Faisal character doesn’t work. He plays it clumsily. I know he is meant to be clumsy and hapless but the acting is clumsy.

Yes agreed. He doesn't seem the type to sell drugs and use another woman for sex. He seems too timid.
His wife's family seem to be wealthy so I don't know why he is getting involved in drugs.

For money to keep up the lifestyle his wife wants/has and he must be resentful one of his daughters said his parents didn't pay for him to go to medical School like they did for his brother , that's what his daughters want too so he needs money for that

 

[The Devils Arse]

I'm wondering if Catherine is involved in the murder enquiry and changes evidence so it points towards the husband being the murderer. Justice for his behaviour towards his wife.

Oooooof

 

[LittleMy]

Oooooof

Thank god, that wig was ridiculous he looked like Jesus.

 

[Offish]

Oooooof

Nooooo it’s impossible to concentrate when he looks too good. The wig toned down his gorgeous

 

[Rippedjeanmaybe]

I find him repulsive

How are they going to wrap it up in the last few episodes? Especially if this is the last series. Such a shame it has to end!

James Norton is on the One Show tonight.

His little nerdy disguise in S1 had me in stitches.
