Shetland

Hadn’t thought of that one!
I think the scarf will link him somehow to the earlier killing.

I didn't think of that either

But it was Lizzie that Duncan was flirting with, not the mother of Alan, or have I missed something?

I've got a bit - is Perez the father and Duncan the step-father anyway?

I don't think it's Duncan.

I think that is the way round with her parentage Jalima.
I assume the woman he lives with is a second wife or a girlfriend as I think her mother died some time ago.
I see what you are saying about Alan - but maybe Lizzie’s twin was very free with her affections and he could not tell the difference!

I didn’t like Lars from the start but even less so when he arrived on Shetland last week.

Duncan is the birth father of the girl ( forgot name) who calls Perez Dad.perez was married to her mother who died. I believe Duncan was a bit of a lad while his daughter was growing up.

Sorry just read my OP and see I made a mistake. Of course I meant he doesn't want his daughter getting involved with Alan who could be his son.

I thoroughly enjoyed it last night and I am certainly looking forward to next week. I will be sorry when this series ends.

Thanks Atqui, I got it the wrong way round.

I just like Dougie Henshall, he could be reading nursery rhymes for all I care

The author, Ann Cleeves, said:
“I might kill him off.”
Well, she will have me to answer to if she does

I had the same thought atqui

And me Jalema .
Oooh the suspense!

Cassie is the daughter of Perez and Duncan is her step father. It was mentioned by Adam in last nights episode.

That's what I thought, Emma49 [confued]

Duncan is Cassie's birth father who was married to her mother who left him and subsequently lived with Jimmy who is therefore Cassie's step father.

Just realised that I have constructed a sentence literally consisting of relative clauses!

but at least I understand now annodomini!

Thank you

who's Adam .....

lost the plot completely

Cassie's surname is Perez ...but Perez is step father?

What kind of person is Perez?

In terms of his character, he’s not one of those haunted types with lots of problems, he’s actually a straightforward man who would just like a quiet life. Perez is a slightly idealistic guy who thinks Shetland is a safe haven - a nice, safe place to raise his daughter.

Why does he return to Shetland?

Essentially he moves back for his daughter. Cassie’s real father lives in Shetland and Perez wants her to be close to her dad because her mother has died. I think he’s got a slightly idealised view of Shetland - a place where people don’t lock their front doors.

That was from the BBC media centre, not my own words btw

According to Wickipedia, Cassie is Jimmy Perez's daughter and Duncan's stepdaughter.

Wickedpedia!!

I looked it up (! As I said up thread) and it said Duncan was birth father. Oh well who knows

When I think about - when Alan said about Perez being Cassie’s father Duncan did not contradict him.
