The Replacement Tonight At 9Pm

[Smowball]

It's the last episode and I've just seen a trailer - looks as if it's about to get even worse for Ellen : (
Don't forget to watch it!

[Smowball]

Made no sense at all!and why was there absolutely nobody in the library?

[ladybirder]

I think the Radio Times critic got it about right for tonight's episode. What a shame, it had been so good before this.

[naomi24]

The first two episodes promised such potential.

[choux]

I assumed Paula had told the police where they would find Lia (believing that Ellen would have expired in the car).
I was willing Ellen to release the handbrake and rock the car forward so she could make her escape from the rear of the car. Did Paula leave the mobile in the car? (Again) I assumed Ellen's knowledge as an architect helped her to be inventive with the car's electrics ;)
I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

[Smowball]

Maybe, just maybe, Paula was hoping to convince the police that Ellen had kidnapped the baby and then taken an overdose but why would she go to Paula garage??

[sherrardk]

What pants! One minute Ellen couldn't see to hot wire the car (how would she know how to), the next minute she's fiddling with the air bag and driving like a nutter to an empty library (that she managed to get into). And what was all that last bit after she kicked her husband into touch. V disappointing :(

[choux]

Don't forget what a fruitcake Paula was. She had garaged the car that was Georgia's which killed Caris.

[Garaman]

Agree with others that is was a very poor ending after a promising start. I must admit I was kinda hoping that it was all in the other woman's head.

[naomi24]

Me too, Garaman. That's what I was expecting. I really thought there would be a twist.

[chrissa1]

I think she decided to hand herself in when she went to her daughter's grave. She was taking the police there to show them the baby. I think she knew the pills wouldn't kill her and that she wanted Ellen to prove herself a good mother, and she did. Paula told her where the baby was when she said she would "find her, there."

[Smowball]

A real anti climax

[goodgoalie]

Gah! What a totally rubbish ending - glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. How the bleeping bleep did the police know to go and arrest Paula, and how come the library was deserted, but open, and on and on and on and on...

[zebo]

I think I was once told by a pupil that modern cars can't be as easily hot-wired, (and they'd know!). I need to watch the last 20 minutes again, it was all a bit of a blur.

[Patsy33]

A rushed, disappointing lame ending. It's always the same lately, with these TV dramas. They all start off so promising. Has us all on the edge of our seats anticipating a great twist at the end. Yet again, we all feel deflated. It's cruel!

[choux]

chrissa, I think your answer shows what a lovely person you must be :)

[chrissa1]

Aww! What a nice thing to say, choux. X :))

[Smowball]

And another thing, why did Paula stay in contact with Georgia who had killed her child. I know she had a sick daughter but even so...

[ducksie]

She explained last night she was sticking with Georgia because she had been rushing to the hospital with the sick child that caused the accident, Georgian never intended to kill anyone else child. she said it all in the garage when the other woman had to take the pills. Paula's mind was twisted.

[Smowball]

I know but think it's so unrealistic
