Happy Valley Theories May Contain Spoilers - Do Not Read If You Are Not Up To Date

[Barmaid]

Anyone want to put forward their theory as to how it all ends?

[goodgoalie]

It was directed by the same director as the previous episode - Fergus O'Brien

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, sorry windy.

[Barsel]

Gness //Just how the Joanna/Faisal/Rob situation ended. Not major to the series. I'm just nosey. :-)//

Well, Alison told Catherine about the drugs from Faisal and she told her boss he lived near Joanne and was the pharmacist, so the police will now make inquiries and it will be discovered Faisal gave her the drug and he will go down for her murder.
That's one loose end tied up.:-) x

[windywillow]

No worries Zacs.

[gness]

Sorry, Windy. Missed that. Blame the second Guinness. :-(

I see that, Barsel but I wondered if a series could develop from that.

[Barsel]

I don't know Gness, I think Sally Wainwright said she wasn't writing anymore.
I seem to think Sally Wainwright also wrote Last Tango in Halifax and I'm hoping that now she's finished this, she may go back to that.

[ladybirder]

I agree ken. Very nicely all wrapped up. I don't know why people are picking at it.

[choux]

Apparently, Zacs, Sally started to add directions to her script in the final series:

[Cloverjo]

I’ll be interested to see what the newspaper TV critics think of it.

[Barsel]

Cloverjo //But there are loose ends.
What happens to Joanna’s daughters? Do they grow up to be wrong uns? Does Poppy ever take her coat off? So much more to explore.//
I wondered that as well.
Did you catch what her Dad (Rob) was arrested for in the end?

[gness]

Some more Last Tango would be great, Barsel. SW is a brilliant writer. Maybe she has something new up her sleeve. :-)

[choux]

I think Sgt Cawood excelled over DCI Jane Tennison. Siobhan Finneran was excellent throughout.

[Barsel]

choux, I found that with Siobhan Finneran, she didn't even have to speak. You could tell what she was thinking just by her actions and her face. Brilliant acting.

[Cloverjo]

Barsel, I think it was something to do with being abusive to minors, but I’m not sure

[gness]

I thought there was a hint of grooming.

[Barsel]

That's what I thought. Did they say something about indecent images on his laptop?
I wondered if he got his little girl caught up in that, and that is why she left her coat on all the time and was very timid.

[choux]

Agreed, Barsel. When Catherine went back to Nev's, Clare so wanted to go to her sister and last week when Clare was caught out lying to Catherine her performance was superb.

[Barsel]

Did you notice Rob looking at Ryan walking away from him with his shirt hanging out?
Perhaps he was a pervert, so that's sorted that loose end.

[choux]

For those worried about "loose ends" there is a series discussing them

final episode to follow?

I am with ladybirder's thoughts, the important ones have been covered.

[smurfchops]

Barrel, they didn’t say anything about the drugs in Joanne’s back pocket, which would also link to Faisal…
