Redwater (Kat and Alfie from Eastenders spin off show)

I wonder will it transpire that Agnes is related to the Slaters some way and thats how the 'adoption' took place so quick..an article I read by the Eastenders producer said that the Slaters origins are in Ireland...4th paragraph down or so

Missed it last night, why does it not go up on the RTE Player until Thursdays? What backward idiot decided that and why?

BBC don't show it til Thursdays. They must have an agreement that RTE can't make it available online til then.

Keep your kicks on there, when Thursday comes and you watch it, you will wonder why you got so uptight today .

This show has certainly done wonders for Waterford tourism. Perhaps they could show the new greenway on the next series

Overall though the show has been very poor. It is aimed at the not so bright British audience who indulge Eastenders weekly and patsying to their perception of Ireland.

I watched it and I'm looking forward to next Sunday night. The priest gave me the creeps. No altar boys or girls.

The flashback to the night of the tragedy has me baffled, what were they all doing out in a boat after dark...waiting to rendevous with Howard Marks, checking their lobster pots, harvesting seaweed or what. When the mother says save me in the flashback clip somebody clearly says No, is it her son ?

That Agnes wan is hiding something and for the life of me I don't know what. Why was the priests mother called Iris Byrne. Was Agnes' maiden name also Byrne.

Poor little Tommy, not content with having him reared for his first year of life by a deranged kidnapper it looks like he's gonna be saddled with a killer brother. Tommy is wise beyond his years coming up with the little boy lost plan in order to have his parents miss the flight to Spain. Which leads me on nicely to the twins, Kat mentioned them once or twice, there must be no love lost there she never even asked what the broadband was like, no inkling to skype them now and again. I don't get it, my neighbour has granchildren in Australia she's never actually met and she's skyping them morning noon and night.

I think it's her son Dermot who is now the killer priest?

Does Agnus knw they fr Dermot is a lunatic cause she got a bit worried when she found out Tommy was with him ???

She's deff hiding something cause she's very angry towards Kat???

Harry Palmr

I had to laugh at the horse in the graveyard! Just the sort of thing you expect to see in Dunmore.

PTH2009

Shes gone a fair bit to miscarry. Still birth perhaps due to injury to the child but she looks ready to pop to simply miscarry. Correct me if im wrong

Thought the second episode was better than the first. It built up a bit of suspense and intrigue between the characters. For example, the American cousin and the Irish farmer seemed to have some history.

KKkitty

Watched the second episode last night on the RTE player. At least it's not being dragged out all that much. Will they discover that Dermot killed Lance and then Dermot leaves with Kat and Alfie to go back to Walford I wonder? Will Zoe come back to be reunited with her twin brother? The look on Agnes's face when the will was being read out was priceless. All those years and that's all Lance left her with.

I've a funny feeling there will be lots more twists and turns. Is Dermot really Kat's son? I'm not convinced. Bearing in mind there are four episodes left, the plot could go in many directions yet.

And LOL at Agnes saying she would have killed Lance herself if she had known what was in the will

Sure Agnes wouldn't have been thrown out by her daughters so what was the point in giving her the house and land anyway. I hope Dermot is Kat's son. It'd be a bit stupid if it was Andrew after Dermot killing Lance and all.

Agnes didn't look happy at all!

She was fuming! Lance put in a pointed dig too about how they had been through good times and bad times.....seems they had a rocky marriage.

It's stupid that Kat didn't tell her son the truth about who his father was.

RobertKK

Some of the stuff in this doesn't come across as being Irish in tradition.

Harry Angstrom

Anyone else see a similarity between the priest and Jeremy Irons' character in The Mission?

"Yeah, your dad was Michael Elphick - you see, he was my uncle, and he raped me. Don't worry, he was playing a character, a bad character. He wasn't Boon at the time. He died shortly after. Such a pity."

Samsgirl

Giving it a chance again this week. Feel like there are a few more plot twists to come.

Harry Angstrom

All these deaths at sea are worse than a JM Synge play.

amtc

Wouldn't you think Dermot would be interested in asking about his twin or has Kat even mentioned or told her?

Bullocks

There's fairly confusing ages/relationships between the gang in this soap .
Kat is a hundred times better looking without the plastered on makeup that we would usually see on EE

Samsgirl

Oops, Tommy could be next!!

What do you find confusing?

Harry Angstrom

If I got a pint of stout as flat as those, I'd send it back.
