Keeping Faith BBC1 9 pm tonight

I was on the edge of my seat while Susan was looking in the woods for Steve.
We heard his voice on the phone to Faith at the end didn’t we? Has he been kidnapped?
I’m resisting finding the the follow up episode to last night’s and will wait until next Saturday - tempting though it is to know we don’t have to wait Bluebelle ... ?

Really enjoying this
Oh Steve where are you I do hope he’s ok I ve got a feeling there’s not going to be a happy ending here I m having to hold myself back from not watching it online as I don’t want to wait a week but I don’t want it to finish either so I ll have to
Rose is playing a blinder such a saccharine baddy

Love the soundtrack. Amy Wadge has a great voice.

Now she’s dead
I love Faith and Steve he’s such a rough diamond but he s kind and cares

Gael Reardon was the widow of the head of an Irish criminal gang. Faith’s husband Evan had got involved with her before he went to prison - falsifying contracts, money laundering, drug deals etc.
We haven’t seen her in this series as she fled back to Ireland in the last one.

Can someone remind me who Gael Reardon was please

I watched again last night and could see continuity in some old back stories and new storylines emerging.
I think there’s a bit of Faith in me and I might love letting my emotions run riot once in a while as she does.
I’ll keep watching.
I love the scenery and music too. 6/10 last night from me.

I rather like Faith she’s dizzy and manic but I find her impulsiveness and disorientation rather appealing

Ooh and I'm really working up a dislike for Evan. Useless creature!
Hope he's better in real life.

She’s lovely in real life too - we saw her at Hay Festival a couple of years ago. In real life, she and “Evan” are husband and wife

Eve Myles is very good indeed. She's so wonderfully irrational, raging one minute, laughing the next. She's quite comical at times too. She doesn't seem to mind how she looks.

I felt the writer didn’t want everything made obvious so you had to get to know the characters and understand the reasons for their choices from before they hit the screen.

We couldn’t get to the end of episode 1 despite having watched the previous series.
We are watching DNA at the moment. A superb series.

I agree, Lollin, but I think a lot of viewers will say they’re disappointed. It was all a bit silly and shallow and tried to pack too much in, in parts, and then drifted in parts, with an over indulgence on the music. But I’ve just been very fond of it from the off for some reason

Could not resist. Binge watched the lot. imo - Brilliant!

kissngate

Can someone remind me has Celia Imrie had dealings with Faith before, if so, what when how?

It’s difficult to answer that without - SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!! - giving stuff away if you haven’t watched it all. No, Celia Imrie hasn’t appeared before. She’s Faith’s mother - Faith hated her and left when she was 15. The mother was a crook and ran many dodgy deals, which she involved Faith in, as a child. I doubt there’ll be another series, but if there was to be one, Steve, Evan and Rose (Faith’s mother) won’t be in it, if you get my drift......
I binge watched it because I know that area well, and love it. And I liked the music.

I'm sticking with it. She's just so OTT somehow but likeable. A likeable nightmare. Those poor children!

I quite enjoyed the first series when her husband was missing and it was all a bit of a mystery as to what had happened. The yellow mac was very popular I remember.

The second series I gave up on, there did not seem to be much of a story, lots of padding. I didn't much like her or find her believable as a character. From what you have all said, I won't bother with this one at all.

I wish I looked like Faith, yes I know how shallow can I get. I loved her blue coat in series 2 which I have just binged watched again. I think Steve Baldini looks passed his best in series 3.

You look far younger Kitty than Celia Imrie.

We’d not watched the previous series, watched this episode and won’t be watching the rest. It lacks believability.

She's certainly not like any career woman I've ever known or any lawyer either.

Oh good not just me then ! Her portrayal of career woman is doing career women no favours

We recorded the second series when it was on and somehow never got round to watching it. The storyline in series one was interesting and the scenery lush, but Faith was the most irritating character imaginable. If you lot give this new series rave reviews though I'll have to blow the dust off the old one and binge watch it before going on to series 3.

No Lucca I think it’s trying to portray a career woman trying to have it all, but then finding she’s trying to do it all.
Some things have to give.
