Honest Saints Fan Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 These season has been pish. No one is a match on Maura. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 2 hours ago, DrewDon said: It's going to take a good few weeks for my toes to uncurl when this series is finished due to this stinking 'Breakfast Club' patter. I think it might actually be worse than the utterly honking "do bits society" patter from a couple of series ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Caroline Flack has committed suicide. Fucking horrendous, even though it's obviously unrelated I can see the show getting scrapped after this season's done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The only Love Island contribution if you can call it that is her firing from presenting it. Can't be an easy one to take. At any rate, the mob is going after the tabloids on this one so I doubt there will be any calls to scrap the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’m actually quite sad about that. There’s something quite sinister about it all, seems the media gave her a hard time after her incident. Damn shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hound and harrass relentlessly until you finally break someone. Sad and in all honesty a little infuriating, regardless of her alleged crimes or flaws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic.I was no fan of Caroline Flack but a young life lost like this is tragic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think they’ll hastily finish this season off then quietly cancel the show for the next 2-3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 It'll be interesting to see how they'll handle the narration of the show tomorrow night. They'll surely be hesitant to have Iain Stirling taking the piss like he usually does and with all he'll be going through it probably won't feel right for him either. Just a sad situation all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Very tragic and very sad. Will clearly reawaken the focus on Love Island and its impact on mental health. I don't agree with this ire aimed toward the CPS, though. If the shoe was on the other foot, and Flack didn't want to press charges against her partner who had blatantly attacked her, domestic abuse charities would have been crying blue murder if he wasn't prosecuted (and quite probably, rightly so). So this argument that the CPS should have somehow just dropped a blatantly criminal case on the basis that the defendant was vulnerable in some sense, is not only without merit but it would set the precedent that there is double standard when it comes to domestic abuse; that you're bang to rights if you're a man who lifts his hand to a woman but if it it's the other way about, there may be mitigating circumstance. The impact that a criminal case has on mental health is a wider discussion but the argument here seems to be that there shouldn't have been a court case at all - which is frankly preposterous. There's no question whether the case contributed to her death - it quite blatantly did - but the merit of pursuing it is not up for debate. The CPS thresholds in terms of evidence and public interest were evidently met. That's the law. A more pertinent investigation for the management team to undertake is why such a vulnerable person with an apparent history of self-harm and who had referenced suicide to the Police was left to their own devices. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they had dropped the charges they'd have been slated just as much with calls of 'celebrities get away with murder'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This lot get on far too well for this to be entertaining. Love Island has perhaps never fully recovered from Ellie calling Georgia an ugly c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It was anyone's game for a while, but Luke T and Siannise have it in the bag now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 These final date episodes are just dull. Get to the finale already. Flack aside, I think this series has been a bit of a dud. The folk in it have no personality. The last series was going the same way before Maura showed up. The whole hot/summer vibe that works well in the summer doesn't really chime when folk are freezing at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It obviously won't happen, but it's not an overstatement to say that Luke T stealing the prize money from Siannise after they are announced as winners would be my favourite moment in TV history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m about 99% sure that was Molly Maes plan with Tommy last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
