Starting tonight on Channel 5.

A four-parter, starring Sally Lindsay.

The title says it all.

I intend to watch, no doubt it will turn out a bit of disappointment, as many of these dramas do, but it’s some thing to tune in to, plus some sunshine and nice scenery, Cyprus I think.

Can see how this is going (of course).

How can she be so daft? Only met him about a week ago, but moving over to live with him and of course, just going to loan him the money to buy the house of their dreams.

🥺 It’ll end in tears.

I haven’t watched it, but after watching Tinder Swindler a while ago, I no longer wonder how anyone can possibly be so daft. Young, attractive, evidently intelligent woman, going off in a private plane, FGS - with someone she’d only just met!!! Seduced by his apparently ‘jet set’ lifestyle.

IMO she was lucky that she didn’t end up as ‘white slave’ traffic instead of just being conned out of £££££££.

BlueBelle. Are you allowed to describe Emma as ‘chubby’? grin

My thoughts exactly, hence the tent like dresses and kaftans, plus the running /hobbling away, all the time clutching her bag.

Marginally better than Big Brother? 😊

Louella12 Wed 13-Mar-24 07:27:08

It is rather ludicrous

I'll watch it all but no doubt the ending will be totally ridiculous and I'll have lost 4 hours of my life on it!

I didn’t recognise the police woman but where’s the car come from, where’s the money for hotel rooms come from, how did the daughter just get a plane over night and arrive, how did she manage to walk into the house and knock the lamp over that showed the key for the desk? how did she drive to a woodland miles away and manage to meet the perpetrator,
with no directions how did a chubby middle age woman manage to outrun the strong lean guy how come she was allowed to rummage through someone’s else’s suitcase
Oh dear oh dear it’s childlike is the author 12 years old?
I can’t find anything good to say about it I m only watching to see how much worse it can get It makes Coronation street look like a William Shakespeare play 🤣🤣🤣

👏👏👏👌
As I said on Monday: rubbish script 😩

Well, I predict the final episode will have either her or the ex husband shooting Nico, either that or somehow Nico will tumble into the sea and drown, probably speeding away in his stolen yacht.

I had to laugh when Emma was running away and hurt her foot, surely George would have managed to shoot her, hobbling away!

Will have to keep watching, but oh, so daft!

( The policewoman used to be in Corrie, she was a practice manager or something at the surgery).

Very poor, predictable. Those tents she wears, not a good look.But they get paid for it.

Kate1949 Tue 12-Mar-24 23:53:22

Yes Chestnut. It became comically predictable at the end. Unfortunately we are sucked in now. We need to know what happens!

Chestnut Tue 12-Mar-24 23:47:47

I'm sure this is actually Madame Blanc. Her crime solving abilities are exactly the same! No Police force can keep up with her, she outsmarts them all.

Kate1949 Tue 12-Mar-24 23:12:35

My husband said 'Blimey do they know how long it takes to hir a car abroad?' grin

merlotgran Tue 12-Mar-24 22:48:57

I’ve given up!

OldFrill Tue 12-Mar-24 22:40:43

It is a comedy, isn't it? 😀

Doodledog Tue 12-Mar-24 22:32:31

What is it with Ch5 dramas? They get good people in the roles, and clearly have high budgets, but the scripts are often weak and silly. Why is that?

BlueBelle Tue 12-Mar-24 21:57:02

Oh dear it’s not getting any better The daughter is an awful
actress and it’s all totally unbelievable She just manages to walk into a villa and find the key to the drawer where the passport is kept !!!
Blimey need an IQ in single digits to watch this was it written by a child
It’s getting sillier and sillier

RosiesMaw Tue 12-Mar-24 21:43:52

I agree- ham acting, thin storyline, poor script. 😟😟

Oldbat1 Tue 12-Mar-24 21:34:39

Weak!

Calendargirl Tue 12-Mar-24 21:16:03

Where did she get the car from, to follow the waitress/barmaid?

Had she already hired it?

🤷‍♀️

Cossy Tue 12-Mar-24 19:23:48

In real life!!!!

What utter tosh. Stupid storyline and Sally Lindsey not at her best.
Would anyone be so gullible

Sadly, I’m real life many lonely men and women ARE this gullible!

Lilypops

I would like to see Sally Lindsey wearing something other than the voluminous kaftan/dresses she always wears ,

Yes, Lilypops, I'm sure I recognised a couple of the outfits she wore on the Madam Blanc drama.

Millie22 Tue 12-Mar-24 19:14:08

He's rather lovely but far too smooth. Probably that's the idea though.

I was a bit worried she might have ended up in the air with that loose fitting dress on the boat.

travelsafar Tue 12-Mar-24 19:04:17

Watching at the moment and not even looking at TV just listening to the story. How could she be so stupid as to give a stranger all that money!!!

Primrose53 Tue 12-Mar-24 08:59:18

Although it seemed predictable, in many cases this is just what happens to gullible women. Things move too fast for them, they are head over heels “in love” with a new man and will literally do anything for them!

There’s a very well off woman in our village who went to Turkey on hols and met a man half her age. She spent a lot of money and time getting the necessary documentation for him to come and live here. They married and lived in her very nice home. after a couple of years it’s all gone pear shaped so she has kicked him out because he won’t look for work and is chatting up women his own age now! This is going to cost her a lot of money.
