Angela Black

[a.pain]

I was hoping she would be on the phone to the police at the end there and they would turn up or she would at least be recording but nooooo that would be USEFUL ACTION ANGELA

I don’t know about Ed being imaginary now - as she met him in that market on tonight’s episode. I can’t work him out at all - whether he’s a threat or help?

 

[Shutterbug99]

I like the idea of Ed being in her mind and not real…I was going down the route of thinking he was being paid by the husband to make her think he had taken a hit out on her and was instructed by him to feed her all the information to make her paranoid, therefore driving her to actually act erratically and unstable so he can use it against her to gain custody of the kids, the mixture of physical and mental abuse. I was wondering if Yuki isn’t really missing but they are playing the long game to be together with his boys.

I actually prefer your theory to the 'it's all in her mind' theory! Only thing is, I think (not 100% sure) it was mentioned in the first episode that Yuki has been missing for something like three years? Or did I imagine this? Anyway, if that's the case, then they are playing a very long game!

 

[super grateful]

I thought you were on to something with this but I just did a search and it looks like he has changed his clothes...

Oh oops, sorry, my bad.

Maybe he shouldn’t wear such similar outfits.

 

[Miss_noseyparker67]

'Ed' does seem very strange. He's too invested in 'helping' her. There's definitely a twist!
Olivier was giving me the creeps when he put the blindfold on her

 

[Shutterbug99]

@1001 others I thought the dog was put to sleep after he bit Angela? There was a scene in the first episode that showed Angela passing a room where the dog was laid out on a table.

Yuki has been missing for five years, by the way - they mentioned this again last night, so that clears up the confusion!

 

[CandyPink99]

I’m pretty sure they said 5 years

ohh see this is completely believable as well!!

one thing that doesn’t make sense to me is if he has been planning to leave her etc why has he begged her to stay two times, because surely she could just leave and he could still make her look like a bad parent and gain custody

 

[Shutterbug99]

I don’t have much to add - other than that I don’t think Ed has changed his clothes? Which to me is now making him seem imaginary, sadly. But who is she talking to on the phone?!

[Wifo1976]

It’s intriguing and frustrating at the same time! Is it the last one next week?

 

[Foodaholic]

I'm really not sure now! I thought they referred to her as going missing 'a few years back' in the first episode. Not sure I can be bothered to go back to check. Maybe somebody else will remember when she actually went missing.

Maybe the writer's are trying to trick us.

I'm enjoying it though.

 

[VicksterIcon]

Think this had the potential to be so much better I'm kinda bored with it now but will see it through just to see what happens. Can't help but think it could of been condensed in to 3 or 4 episodes max feels a bit stretched to me.

Totally agree about the number of episodes. I thought this week was the last. They are really going to string it out!

 

[Libbylulu]

I think I’ve given up on it but will continue to read here just to find out if she’s imagined it.

 

[Miss_noseyparker67]

I thought it was six. I'm sure I read six last week.

Actually you're right. I had looked it up on IMDB & it said 7. But there are 6 in this season & then there appears to be a second season

 

[Shutterbug99]

I was convinced after the carpark part that Ed was definitely in her head, but now I am back to thinking that it’s all an elaborate ploy by the husband to make it look as though Ed is in her mind, therefore unstable, to get custody of the kids. Wish it was all available to watch now, I am too impatient for this week by week malarkey

Yeah, I'm leaning towards it being a set-up with Ed and Olivier working together. Yuki will probably show up alive and well next week. I was hoping there'd be a bit more to it than this but at the same time I'll be glad if they don't go down the 'all in her head' route.

On the subject of the dead animal carcasses what was the relevance of one in the first episode? I couldn’t even make out what it was?

Not sure what that was. I generally look away when there's any animal death on screen - so I'm not doing well with this show! Notice how the documentary Angela watched this week featured an animal attack too. Even the spider didn't make it out alive! That spider represents Angela and that is what Olivier is going to do to her....

The woman who played her care coordinator is Imran’s ex wife in Coronation Street.

 

[Rainbowcolours]

This was a strange drama plot dragged without much happening. Hooe it gets better.

 

[Tide'sout]

I can't make head nor tail of it.

 

[Shutterbug99]

I thought she said 5 years in the latest episode?

I'm really not sure now! I thought they referred to her as going missing 'a few years back' in the first episode. Not sure I can be bothered to go back to check. Maybe somebody else will remember when she actually went missing.

 

[jawidjanqndn]

Didn’t love that if I’m honest. Disappointed

 

[Ceebee]

I think that Ed is imaginary because she wants to leave her husband, she just doesn't know how. So, if Ed is telling her that her husband is starting divorce proceedings, and she should too, then suddenly it isn't really her choice to leave since her husband started proceedings first. Could be wrong but that's my theory!
