She was a Detective when Becky died then had a breakdown, so that's when she went back to the beat.

Yeah that makes sense as Becky was born 88 so probably joined before that and as you say had a break with the kids , never thought of that. That's the answer I needed

She gets even better. Just wait until later when Caroline cannot be fazed by anything. All her and Nicola Walker at the end of episode 1, giving each other some right shit, iconic.

Yeah I loved that and when that lad at the School tried to blackmail her

I enjoyed Halifax but I do find most of the characters quite unlikeable I suppose they all have their flaws like regular people. It’s well written though.

Thanks so much for all your help and advice. I spoke to my sister today so she says she’s going to watch a couple ahead to check it for me so that could help.
Thanks again .x.

I’ve only recently re-watched the whole series otherwise I’d watch again and let you know the exact parts to avoid. Hopefully someone else might be able to help - or maybe write to the Beeb and ask them.
The thought in this is so incredibly kind. Thank you.

In S 3 Ep 3, just after Catherine & Claire are talking in the cafe there is a flashback of Becky then. And I think that’s it for S3. There is a flashback of sorts in the last episode, but it’s kind of like her presence is comforting Catherine & she is smiling. It’s nothing like the imagines you see in S1 x

Watched the last episode again tonight as my husband was on early’s yesterday so was in bed! He loved it. I took so much more in this time, the loving, heartwarming stuff like the love they all have for each other and how Claire comforts Catherine when she comes out the house. Also, would love to spend a week in Nevison’s house for a country break Lovely, remote location and country kitchen. Maybe he could throw in the housekeeper too!
The bit’s that got me the most: ‘I forgive you’ and ‘there’s a grandma’ for different reasons but both made me

I must watch it. Thing is, Catherine in HV was pretty charmless too (which doesn't equate to not a nice person). She rarely smiled in all the series. Yes she was troubled but still. A brilliant woman no less but not someone I'd imagine sitting down for a brew with.

I wasn't able to watch it yesterday, I've just watched it now.
I loved it. For a final episode, it was perfect for the tone of the show. No big twists, no guns blazing showdown. Just a mix of misery, and the possibility of trying to move on from it.
Aside from TLR obviously, but his ending I thought was actually very well done. He is fucking vile, the things he's done.
Partly because he was 'made' that way through his upbringing. The fact he gained a little bit of clarity added back that human aspect to him. Which I thought was important.
Not to make you forgive him (what he has done is beyond forgiveness), but to see that these monsters aren't monsters, they are human.
My only minor complaint is I felt the side stories were wrapped up too quick.
