Final episode next week,I  think that a few of them are involved and have covered it up.

Good episode this week and setting up the final episode nicely. 

My guess is that the Alice child's ghost is trying to tell who it was who murdered her.  My guess is Alice's mother's husband - or his mother.

My guess is the grandad was having an affair with the deaf girls mother, Alice saw something between them, the deaf girl got angry and chased her and it was all an accidents....

i think that too, lets face it .. who would blame him with that harridan of a wife.. they were having an affair, the girls were playing, Alice fell in the water & Olive didnt hear her cause she`s deaf. thats why Olives mum is acting a bit dodgy . . .

Good call stonks!

What were the letters spelt out?

askor... ask olive runcie// maybe

I think The grandad is actually Alice's father, I don't think Ruth's husband fathered Alice.
Maybe the grandad raped Ruth,
I could be 100% wrong ,wouldn't be the first time.

I knew I was right not to start watching it!   I wish I could though.. it sounds really good!

Thats what I think, its not Askor but ask OR....

Oh gawd that mother wrecks my head, I see a small bit of my MIL in her....I wonder why Alice was'nt wearing her coat or cross when she died and why did Olives mum burn the coat....

I've been thinking that the Olive's dad might be the grandad, thus making her Ruth's halfsister.
Olive said to Amy that she had had a secret friend and I think Alice was the friend. Perhaps the girls played together when Grandad and Olive's mum were meeting up.

I thought the grandfather was mebbe having an affair with Olive's mother and that Olive was supposed to be looking after Alice but she got away and because Olive was deaf, she couldn't hear where she'd gone.  I also think it might have tied up nicely with Amy in the 80s when last night she almost fell in the lake but Olive saved her - something she couldn't do with Alice  Is that why she's such a recluse?

I also think asko is ask Olive Runcie 

Thursday,s episode was really good, although i nearly jumped out my skin when Alice appeared in the bedroom!   I think the grandfather is guilty of something, and that frosty wife of his knows something. I think you could be on the right path stonks.

Try watching it thru the day Kaffy, so it doesnt get in your head at bedtime. Its very good x

Final part  tonight, been a great series. Can't wait to see what happens.

I'm looking forward to it too

Oh oh i had forgotten. yay for the reminder

Oh the last one.....

that cags takes some gripping.....

*am all a quiver*

Waits.....

At flipping last ... she's worked out ASKOR 

*phew*

We could have told her that ages ago.

OOOer!

Ooooh, it's all coming out now.

I'm a nervous wreck!!!

I just want to know that Alice is at peace now that her mother knows what happened ..

Ohhhhh!

I want to know what happened to Amy 

Anti climax again. Why do all these drama things start off really well and then fall flat at the last hurdle?

I don't know cologne ... I didn't really want to see frightening stuff, I just wanted to know that Alice's mum and Alice were at peace.

I liked Alice tonight ... I've been scared of her every other week

Agree Cologne that  was a rubbish ending..sigh!"

Oooh were'nt we good slueths........

I haven't been in this thread too much, but it occured to me from a fairly early time that her grandad was involved, but it would have been so much better if he had actually had a hand in her death, rather than this fizzling out excuse of an arrangement.

total anticlimax 

Well done stonksy

I actually enjoyed it and thought tonight tied up all ends rather than being an anti climax.

Me too shar..I'm glad it was ended on an English type ending unlike that American stuff where every end has to be tied up and they all live happily ever after....

But he did have a hand in her death and kept it a secret, which was bad form....

Me too shar ... I liked the end

Mind you, I am a total wuss - I don't like scary stuff

But so did Olive. She dared her to go upstairs. If she hadn't, nothing would have happened. I'm not excusing the grandfather (seeing that I thought he'd somehow killed her for one reason or another), but this ended in a damp squip, again. ITV are great for starting dramas, but carp at resolving them.
