I think the baby died too. She had the dates under the footprints like it had died. She wouldn't have put the 2nd date if it was still alive, just the DOB.

If you gave the baby up for adoption you would I think.

I've finally just watched it, gosh it didn't half make me jump when Amys Dad saw Alice in the corner of the room!!! then while i was watching it the next door neighbour started banging on something, scared the life out of me!! Can't wait for next week! So sad its the last one though

I dont think the baby was given up for adoption..

I dont think the baby was given up for adoption..

I don't either. If she had hidden the pregnancy and not been getting the right care there could be all sorts of complications. Plus she may not have given birth in hospital, she could have been anywhere and alone when it happened.

For me the two dates seem pretty positive that her baby died. Her memory box is just too similar to ours for me to think otherwise, although I hope I'm wrong.

i think olives baby died
i dont think alice is bad either `

 

[annawrigley]

I don't think it was either, it makes more sense that it died, but maybe thats what they want us to think and it will be a 'twist' that it was given away

I feel really rude saying "it" Was it a boy?

 

[Mellie1988]

Yeah he was called James I think?

X

 

[LoraLoo]

But i still dont get the relevance to the story even if he was adopted am i being thick?! xx

I don't know either. I think they might be wanting to show that Olive was the love of Mark's life to make the link work all the way through the time periods.

I think Olive is the only person other than Alice that we see in each time. Ruth is 1968 and 2010, Mark and Scott are 1987 and 2010 and I don't think anyone else is seen anywhere but one particular year.

So I think they need a good reason to bind Olive to someone in 2010. Even a first love connection might not be strong enough over 20 years later without something like a baby to bind them together, especially not in the eyes of TV drama people.

at the start i was sure there was a reason mark brought his pregnant gf back like he was hiding something he didnt seem to be telling her the whole truth n not just about olive????????
it cant be the baby because he didnt know maybe theres more to it do u think he knew what happened to alice?? but then surley he'd of said something when she wanted to name the new baby alice hopefully we'll find out everything we want to know
like where did ruth go ?
wheres her husband ?
who knew what really happened to alice ?
did ruth know alice was in the house n is that why she came back? (she seemed to know staight away it was alice)
what else do we want to know lol

 

[Every Rose]

This is what I'm guessing with the lines.

Spoiler

Lines from Episode 5

► “I need you to keep me sane.” Amys parents to each other maybe
► “Something happened. I can tell. I can always tell.” Ruth
► “One word, over and over… ‘askor’.”Ruth

► “Ruth Bowen? Our Ruth?” Ruths inlaws

► “Olive Runcie, what are you doing in here?” No idea

► “I should’ve listened... to both of you. I’m sorry!” Amys mum

► “You think I really didn’t know?” Ruths mum inlaw. She knows about the affair

► “Think about what would happen if this came out.” Ruths father inlaw

► “So, that day... Alice was with you?” Ruth to Olive

► “You are not going to tell them. You are not going to tell anyone. Do you understand? Never.” No idea again

Yours are good! I'm guessed these from the quotes:

Here I am with one of my spoilery weekly messages

Someone on DS has posted that maybe the complications with Olive and Mark's baby came from the fact they are somehow related?

Otherwise as someone said on here before,it seem a pointless extra to the story if it means nothing.xx

There have been so many theories now, I can't remember how we decided Olive and Mark might be related.

I'm really impatient for Thursday though.

 

[Laura2919]

Lol. I'm hoping Thursday comes quickly!

 

[Harveysmum369]

what questions do you all want answered from Thursdays episode?


hope they tie up everything.xx

I want to know who killed Alice or at least how she died if it was an accident, such as did she slip into the water or was she accidentally pushed etc?

Where was Ruth when Alice died?

What does Olive know about Alice's death?

Where is Paul in 2010? Did he and Ruth split up or has he died?

What happened to Amy and her parents and where are they in 2010?

What does Scott know about Alice/the house?

Why did Mark bring Nisha to the village and Marchlands?

What happened to Olive and Mark's baby?

Why are Olive and Mark and their relationship seemingly so bound up to Marchlands/Alice.

 

[Blah11]

^ same plus I want to know why Olive can't leave the village.

 

[Laura2919]

All that has already been said!
