and Annabelle Morgan (
Christine Bottomley) were thick as thieves. But this year, as they come together again, everything is different. Sylvie’s now single and loving life, Natasha’s hiding a desperate financial situation, Beth is barely keeping her life together and Annabelle is, well… dead.
When Annabelle’s widower Charlie (
Jamie Bamber) arrives with a new woman in tow, Beth tries to be happy for them, but something doesn’t sit right. Charlie’s new girlfriend Jade (
Katie Clarkson-Hill) looks exactly like Annabelle. Beth’s plans to have a great summer are quickly scuppered by Charlie’s odd behaviour, and her suspicion that there is more to Annabelle’s death is heightened.
With lies coming to light and evidence building, the women work

Like Jamie Bamber in Law & Order! He still looks very handsome.
ReplyDeleteHe has always been crazy hot!
DeleteWho the hell marries a woman that looks like his dead wife? And wants the other wives to accept her into the group as if that wouldn't be weird. The math wouldn't be mathing there for me and I'd be putting on my Sherlock Holmes hat too.
ReplyDeleteWhy would he even need their acceptance, he is the brother, they are just wives LOL I think that a lot of men and women marry lookalikes.
DeleteDahlink, there is no such thing as "just a wife". The wife is 1/2 of a couple and if wife isn't on board, hubby isn't either. Because the way a partnership works, if I have a problem with someone, WE have a problem with said someone. Same with him. Jason comes and tells me he doesn't like someone, I don't care what they did, I don't like them either. And if my friends don't like someone, same deal. There's a woman in Georgia right now who has no awareness of my existence, but I hate her. She gave my bestie some problems when she joined the community. Every time I think of her I send a silent prayer into the universe that she burns her bitchy tongue on her overpriced Starbucks that day. So yeah, you bring another woman into the group, you better make sure EVERYONE is on board, especially the women who are going to be saddled having to get stuck with entertaining her while the boys do their own thing.
DeleteBut that is female selfishness, you can give yourself the privilege of choosing whom your brother in love will freaking marry. Especially as they are married into a rich family. You respect and tolerate unless you were the rich heiress and brought them tons of monies as dowry LOL
DeleteYou can clearly see I am not a family man LOL I could not live with a family, methinks, I don't have the nerve to live in an organised female clique like in some high school.
It's definitely not for everyone LOL. No shame in not wanting to rock the white picket fence game. Some days, I'd also like to just steal away and find me a tiny little hut in the woods and avoid all of that nonsense too!
DeleteHuts are the best.
