ITV - Flesh & Blood

Calendar saying it had a better ending than DW Fell is hardly a ringing endorsement ?

So now we know that the 'News from the hospital' was Mark opening his eyes.

Watch out, Mary!

Wowee! Loved it.

Was that another For Sale sign going up at the end?

I do hope not if there's to be another series.

I thought he was taking the sign down indicating that Vivienne had taken it off the market. I was a bit confused why Vivienne was looking daggers at everyone at the dinner table. Lots of loose ends.

AAh coming down not going up. Wasn't paying attention.

Well, Viv was obviously blaming them all for Mark’s fall, and their lies to the police, but doesn’t want to drop them all in it because they are her family tanith.
At least that’s what I think she does.

But does Viv know what happened when she was out of it?

Well yes what was she actually told about it all.

Stephen Rea, who plays Mark in this series is also in The Stranger on Netflix at the moment and he is pretty creepy in that too. Seems to be his forte as he was the same in Dickensian.

But she knew there was a horrible row going on between the children and Mark. If she remembers all that, surely she must be suspicious about the outcome.
Of course, she could be brooding about the fact he never admitted he was a smoker!

She was also upset by his aggression and swearing towards her kids.

Hands up everyone who thought he was going to push her off the cliff at Beachy Head when they had the picnic .... or to strangle her when he put his hands on her neck!!

Yes , the thought definitely crossed my mind!

I yelled, 'Stay away from the edge!'

Is Viv going to inherit Mark's wealth, if he had any?

The daughter won't be happy about that.

As the Daily Mail added, will there be another series seeing as the doctor opened his eyes ? Would be great.

Just watched the last episode..loved it ,what a dysfunctional family!

Viv clearly felt the family were responsible for her losing her husband which is why she looked so glaring at the dinner table. By contrast Mary and the children all looked quite cheerful, but they didn't know he had opened his eyes. Not sure what the children had to be happy about though, as they all had major life problems hanging over them.
It had a very satisfying ending which could stop right there, in which case we would be left deliciously speculating on what on earth will happen when he starts talking and comes home.

Will Viv have him back I wonder?

I thought Viv was suffering mentally as a result of the fainting episodes. Didn't Mary say something about getting dressed and eating the meal with the family before being taken back to hospital?

mumofmadboys not unless he gives up smoking!

I could not have lived there with that flimsy balcony, one rail with plenty of space for DGC to slip underneath.

Mark was starved of oxygen by Mary when she pretended to do CPR.
He's opened his eyes but is anyone home ???
I too thought he was going to push Viv off the cliff.

Well, it’s certainly got us all thinking!!

I think Mary meant that Viv would be going back to the hospital to visit Mark, shandi6570?

I could not have lived there with that flimsy balcony, one rail with plenty of space for DGC to slip underneath.

I think the balcony was glazed. I saw the glass smash as Mark went over/through it.

Good point, nina re Mark being starved of oxygen. What if he needs nursing? Would he be lying there waiting for one of them to finish him off?
