New drama, The Cheat, ITV

Well I watched again and no wonder I wasn’t bowled over first time I d actually fell asleep though parts 2 and 3 anyway watched it again and loved it Hooked
Brilliant, only trouble is it’s on same time as Shetland tonight which do I watch and which gets watched afterwards on the iPad

I'm finding it a compelling watch. I'm hoping that the inevitable twists make sense and are plausible. There seem to be lots of little comments that may well be clues which make it one of those dramas you have to watch again so that you can pick them up!

I have watched the first two and am gripped! I do hope the ending makes all become clear! I record the episodes so that I can rewind if I miss something.

I’m nearly gripped. Though she’s too easily wound up and the husband’s too much of a gullible eejit for either of them to hold down the jobs they have, imho.

I have a theory that Leah’s father has more to do with Rose than we’re led to believe....

I agree "Maggiemaybe" about Leah's father having more to do with Rose, and I think that's why she targeted Leah in the first place. I agree about the husband as well, don't think it's very realistic that he would of invited Rose in for a drink when she dropped of the notes, especially considering the situation.

I am loving this series , but Leah,s husband sending explicit photos of his w...y to Rose after she sent him a photo of herself topless, honestly,, what was he thinking, it was never going to bode well, It's gripping stuff,

Apologies, I put "The Cheat" it's actually "Cheat"

Wondering how Rose got Leahs husband's mobile number, he responded to the first message with "who is this?"

(May have missed something, had to go to the loo!)

Socks and pants! Yeurgh!

Wasn’t expecting that! So they’re half-sisters. Really enjoying it.

What a wimp Adam is i can't stand him. Why is he doing what a clearly disturbed young woman is asking him to do??? Rose appears to be an evil b...h and Leah i feel sorry for... at the moment!!

I suspect the father of her baby is her boss with whom we saw her having sex in the toilets. I do hope the ending doesn't leave us up in the air. I like a proper conclusion.

She didn’t have sex with her boss in the toilet. That was all fantasy.....wasn’t it?

Really Anja I thought she had sex in the loo with the boss and I thought the baby was going to be his
How do we see it as a fantasy I must be very naive

I thought that too, shysal and bluebelle, as there haven’t been any other indications of “fantasy”. I must admit, though, I thought Rose was going to use that incident as blackmail, though probably not without photographic evidence, her preferred style. It’s quite a gripping story but with just a bit too much implausibility for my liking.

I too thought the whole thing with her boss was a fantasy as she was alone in the loo masturbating when Rose came in.

? did I really just write that? ?

I agree with Tabitha. And Rose told someone. Can’t remember who. I am enjoying it.

DH and I have just had a long breakfast chat about Cheat and I agree with the Grasnettter who called him an eejit. If he really is an experienced lecturer he would have learnt the wily ways of some female students and hia alarm bells would have been ringing loud and long. As for the DicPic - well. he had been drinking so it wouldnt be visible let along photogenic! As for the wife she would know there is a very clear procedure in universities for dealing with plagiarism and it doesn't include calling the student out in front of their peers. The whole thing is barmy but I shall watch it to the end and keep moaning.
On a final note to include Father Mother Son - do these actresses never eat?

The actress who plays Rose is very good she manages to convey quite a lot with a sly smirk.

Socks and pants! Yeurgh! I know Phoenix, what a huge turn-off!

He is a right idiot, and as Teetime says, both Adam and Leah would have known all the correct procedures in universities to deal with these problems, but hey! it's quite an enjoyable drama even though it's implausible.

My daughter was a uni lecturer for a time and one of her students plagiarised her work. My daughter's surname had changed with marriage so the student hadn't realised although she might have spotted the same unusual spelling of daughter's first name! What a numpty! My daughter was reading the girl's essay and thought "Hello! That sounds familiar!"

The actress who plays Rose was in Three Girls the drama about the Rochdale abuse. She was brilliant in that too.

Yes definitely a masturbation fantasy. Apparently there have been quite a few complaints about it.
Agree about the socks & pants Phoenix
Your daughter's student was not the sharpest knife in the box then Sparklefizz

Am I being thick (again) in wondering whether the father wrote the paper for Rose?

Thanks sodapop that does make sense now.

Looking forward to the last episode tonight
