Definitely not Dubai or Beijing. Would add Hong Kong.
My point is well observed then - it being that to claim one particular city as the greatest city on Earth, especially considering how many other cities might take that title, is subjective, emotional and can be viewed as jingoistic as it is as futile.

It'd be like Fanny claiming her HMN is the most beautiful chateau in France when clearly 🤣🤣🤣.

I wonder if Dan went to Paris with Fanny? She headed on to the Netherlands for Snorty's play for 1 night then back to meet Dan is Paris and off to Turkey together.
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it.
Sabine and other thirsty volunteers around Dan made Steph jealous. She's competitive and doesn't miss a chance to show others her superiority. She's first served. It has been said here so many times, she surrounds herself with these submissive misfits just to strengthen her fragile ego. Now when Marie is back she again gets to play the nurturing, sheltering, caring role and feel better for herself. A true friend would try to convince her to seek help and therapy for her suicidal thoughts, quit social media if it makes her unhappy and pursue a new direction in her life. But not her, she needs to bring her back to the farmhouse and use Marie as a stepping stone to demonstrate her moral virtue. It's all about her and her stage persona.

(Looking at her in her videos it's so obvious everything is acting. She has a particular instrumental goal in mind, and everything is subordinated to serve that. Her motivation, that’s generally typical of people who are narcissistic, which is to be accredited with moral virtue in the absence of the work necessary to attain it.)

Now back to Steph &Dan 😂
Annalise will play along nicely because of the kids. She can't demonize Dan or Steph in front of her children and tries to keep their lives as normal as possible. Who knows what's it like when the kids are asleep. Of course she needs to be isolated from the chateauverse, there's only room for life, love and laughter. Philip is a trickier one to handle. He doesn't want to leave. She'll have to wait for him to make a mistake.

Fanny, here's an idea: Philip is getting girlier by the minute, maybe you've encouraged him to explore his feminine side? When he's gone far enough you'll be like 'Phyllis dahh-ling, I've tried to come in terms with you saying I kissed a boy and liked it but I just can't. I think it's best for you to leave. You'll always occupy a special place in my heart and I'll cherish every moment we had together blah blah blah... I've already called your mum and Nati will take you to the train station, here's the ticket.' Nati will then tell him in the car that if he doesn't stfu she'll make sure to tell the world he's a gold digging gay bleep who used poor Fanny and all the Lalanders to become famous. Well, tell anyway, attack is the best defense in this case. After you've dropped the mic nobody will listen to him.

I actually like Julia and Caroline- but I do agree- Daphne and Ian would be best to keep their distance from all that is toxic Fanny, with her craptastic horrific renovation ideas (who thinks hot glueing Wedgewood plates to the wall of a Shitoo that has no heat nor air con is a fine idea? Anyone?!?)
The Wedgewood cameos hotglued to the wall was undertaken, I think, as Plan B when draining and re-landscaping the pond was found to require a permit. Born of true dementia and assholery. And the project itself looks like creepy fungus growing out of a grotty old wall. It gets worse the more you think about it. Ugh.

Before she does anything, Fanny should step back and ask herself, WWJD?
What Would Just about anybody else with a brain cell Do? And then do that instead of what she was planning to do!!

I think there are some class and/or cultural differences here - personally, I'm not as horrified as some on here; calling your kids kid1 and kid2 is not that unusual in working class Britain nor is joking about burying your partner or ex partner.
That's so true. I have referred to my son as the boy child. If anyone remembers the lovely Terry Wogan he always referred to children by their gender as in the boy child or the other one (girl child). Actually I only have the one child but it's brit humour, like burying your partner under the patio! Dan has lost his shine and his jokes just fall flat, imo. Absolutely no time for him now and it all started, for me, with that awkward moment with Kat in the kitchen and then the revelation that he and Annalise had split. Wake up Dan, the grass is not greener on the other side. It's tiring keeping up the pretence that you're having a wonderful time with your new found freedom in your new life!

Quite true. It seemed over his head.
Interesting. I don't think Dan is unintelligent or unartistic. ADHD? Some kind of learning disability? Add him to the list of emotionally disabled people Fanny requires as narc supply?

But would Annalise still be doing her hair? If I was in that situation I would take great pleasure I f***ing fannies golden locks so they all fell out. But then I have a vindictive side. Maybe Annalise is playing a long game...

I think so too. Something happened in London back then (or before that hence the Michelin star dinner in London to get them some privacy) and they were caught red handed. Dan moved to the heap straight after but pretended everything was fine to the viewers for 6 months. I imagine everyone were embarrassed for a while but when Philip went to the Netherlands for the rehearsals the affair continued. There's nothing more exciting for Stephanie than forbidden fruit (think of Philip and the inappropriate age gap). Now Dan's boyfriend material (from the horse's mouth.) She's grooming us again. Armoire doesn't look happy about it, now he's got no one to vent to his silly cow, sorry, cuz. Prince Philip Dainty Hands is the only one who doesn't know about this.
Hmmmm. That would explain the whole Jardin Anglais caper, Dan and Stephanie riding the bulls together and picknicking in the woods. The prioritization of which -- over heating repair, what have you -- no one can really figure out.
It would also explain prioritization by Dan of pantry repair.
And his very authoritative directing of her in shooting some PR video.
And the shot Stephanie took of her foot up on the dashboard of the dumper, was it? Exposing the royal crotch to Dan in the digger facing her.
Still trying to suss out the tsunami of emotion toward Stephanie from Dan in the woodwork shop, with Sabine smirking and smoking in the back.

I had a lovely lunch with my adult son yesterday, think Amaury's age.
He had previously watched one ep of CD with me about 3 months ago - he hated it, especially SJ and cuz, their "affected" posh accents and in particular, Amaury's top knot!
I updated him regarding SJ's abuse of Patreon in particular, plus of course, giving him brief background to her other grifts, e.g. GAG etc, etc.
He was absolutely revolted by the abuse, and actually asked that we stop talking about CD after a short while as he was becoming so outraged.
He personally does support a few YT patreon accounts (even though he has very little surplus income himself) - all only truly creative artists, musicians and in his own field, 3D printing creating etc.
He did say, "so, you want to take SJ down, do you?". I said, "not at all, I just wish to see justice being served as obviously SJ is avoiding providing the relevant accounts for the Association that she ultimately created for her Patrons, and if she is also avoiding paying taxes then that needs to be addressed via the appropriate authorities too."
I actually worked with someone in the UK decades ago who had been sent to prison for tax evasion. He was much older than me, just a work contact so never truly knew the exact details.
We both agreed, that SJ is ONLY creating YT vlogs, not truly an artistic "creator" who needs support via Patreon - AKA, just another YT scammer under the banner of "patreon".
Therefore, ultimately, truly not the ethos behind why Patreon was originally created, e.g. to support struggling "artists" in various fields/media.
As we all know, Patreon has now morphed into just another e-begging platform, unfortunately!

Reminds me, when I lived with my parents. My parents' neighbour was a handsome carpenter, who'd mow his lawn shirtless during summer. I'd stare out my window to watch.
Until my father shaped like Homer Simpson walked shirtless past my window... - Not even bleach can remove that image.


I almost feel guilty. LOL

RE: Philip. Do you think Stephanie Jarvis will pull a #MeToo on him. That would ruin him everywhere.

Maybe he's been caught loitering, trying to pick up "company" for the evening.
Okay, yes that's a real possibility. Let me share a short story, highly distasteful, but bear with me...
An Australian Federal Police investigator friend told me that one of their arrests involved a girl who couldn't get rid of her highly abusive boyfriend, so in desperation she downloaded child pornography onto his laptop, then dobbed him into the police. It backfired when she discovered her boyfriend was into it. But both she and the boyfriend were arrested in the end - her for the illegal download and him for his disgusting and horrifying perversions. So, simply being outed as gay, or loitering for company wouldn't necessarily ruin Philip (unless he was seeking payment)... but hiding something on his computer would.

Perhaps Marie has multiple personality disorder and each personality manifests itself in a different patron/IG description.
Who needs a florist now? Change of plans! (again). I'm sure she could make a very good writer, (or at last a writer) as her greatest success until now are her autofiction writing skills, or better still, fantasy writings. This last one version of herself is the best one she came up with until now, even with some romantic literary hints at "The Mill on the Floss" and Chekhov's "Three Sisters".
Gone are those boring suicidal tendencies of some days ago. Now it's all busy bee live love and laughters, high profile professional girl, happy caretekar of a well established business, where she'll be able to express her many polymath talents.
How long will it last? Who knows?
BUT, when did the miracle of this new employment take place? Who knows again.
I think now she could really be bipolar. Poor Marie.

Thanks for the info

So the patrons are basically going to fork out 200k on restoring the lake that possibly will be drained again if they stop sending Stephanie money.
I guess it's safe to say Davey's suggestion how to restore the lake was rejected? I don't watch CD anymore, any updates on that front?

Is it a northern working class thing? I've heard it before - my dad was from Birmingham and my mum from Buckinghamshire - I can imagine my dad saying it, but definitely not something my mother would say.
I'm in the North West of England and I've never heard it before. x

She could have simply stated she was going to housesit, again. Nothing that girl does or where ste stays has anything to do with something she owns. She owns nothing because she feels people should just give her things and take care of her. She only wants to be surrounded by positive people, she claims. Has she not learned anything about the toxicity of that kind of positivity?
What angers me is all the while she was posting 'save Marie' she must have been planning this job, interviews etc. I smell a stinky fish.

I've never understood why she couldn't make it in Haworth, supportively set up, etc. (Arguing against myself, as if the mentally ill could be reasoned with.) Aside from the real support she was getting, I finally checked out the econ stats of Haworth and there are plenty of well to do upper middle class residents of Haworth (not to mention the Bradford metro area of which it is part) to support a florist business.

That sentence alone is enough to spark my interest.
Get over yourself, already, HalcyonOrganic. :) If I was guessing, I think you maybe "camp" it up somewhat. I really don't know. :)
That is just what a mother does with her "very straight" son, when he lives a way away from her and it was truly delightful. He is 30 years younger than me, therefore, in essence another generation and, unfortunately, we don't always truly "connect".
Yesterday, was the exception through our outrage of the abuse witnessed via Patreon.
