Arnold called Kyle ‘big man’ In his messages so Kyle probably saw him as a father figure and wanted to please him not realising he was been groomed. She said to him at the end that he picked on vulnerable children, so that’s how he got to Kyle.
It does cause blackouts.
The blackouts I think you're meaning can occur in a manic phase of bipolar illness...she wasn't manic. She referred to it it the context of drinking alcohol.
She’s been busy as she was in Four Lives as well! She was good in that. I didn’t think she was as good as usual in The Teacher but probably because it was a tit script!Sheridan Smith is in another drama called No Return on Monday night (ITV) there might be a thread on it next week but let’s hope that’s better than The Teacher!
Awful actress!!! I don’t understand why she was just sat listening in, so weird!!!
Well when Sheridan went to see her ex and they were talking about when they worked together he did remind her that she used to report things like that and she acted then like she had forgotten.
Because she had taken Brian's side that's why she said 'he's my soulmate'. She was an annoying character!
Yes I think you’re right, I wanted it shake her!
I thought Kyle might be his grandson, and thought we’d find that out in the next episode . But there isn’t one.What a waste of 4 hrs! It had so much potential!
I have a lot of questions. Did Jenna’s solicitor ever respond? Why didn’t she get the police involved as she was gathering evidence? Why didn’t the police reinvestigate when Jenna revealed she wasn’t behind the phone/social media account? Is Kyle’s mum Brian’s estranged daughter, thus making Kyle his grandson? Why didn’t the police investigate properly the first time? Why didn’t they see from the CCTV that Jack picked Jenna up after the club? Why did Pauline just sit in that back room - it’s not like she was gagged or tied up? There are more but I can’t even be bothered
. Not keen on Sheridan Smith in the first place, but thought I’d give it a go. Annoys me the way she is forever looking into the middle distance when she is acting ‘thinking’. Waste of time. 
The series could have been cut in half if they dropped all the acting ‘thinking’ scenesI thought Kyle might be his grandson, and thought we’d find that out in the next episode . But there isn’t one.
She also does a lot of blowing out of her mouth when she's 'thinking'I thought Kyle might be his grandson, and thought we’d find that out in the next episode . But there isn’t one.
I just thought they’d made her look a bit older. The likeness is crazy!Yeah I think I've seen her something else and thought the same thing!I watched this thinking Kyle’s mum was played by Faye Brooks (Kate in Corrie). My sisters only just finished it and I mentioned it, and she was like that’s a totally different actress.
