"my money's on her being dead"

and thus was Lauren’s verdict on the fate of Holly in tonight’s ch4 episode – “and I bet we know the killer”

So it’s day two of mini Cunningham’s disappearance and things are starting to get dark.

Cindy is going into meltdown, the glamorous hussy we know and love replaced with a haggard, hysterical wreck.

Darren (swoon) was on hand to help search for Holly in the spooky woodland that had suddenly appeared nearby. Not the dense woods where Warren buried Sean, or where Jake tried to kill Charlie. And not the cornfield/woods where Justin went on the run. A whole brand new kinda woods. Rich and varied is the Chester geography.

Anyhoo, Darren seemed distraught at the lack of Holly (the scene between him and Cindy – “In a perfect world…” – got us all lump in the throaty), which is more than can be said for Tony who continued to act in a thoroughly suspicious manner – objecting to his laptop being taken away, making ill-advised appeals on crack TV station Chester 1 News and trying to feed Cindy a very questionable looking smoked salmon sandwich.

Despite this (and we are yearning for the prospect of him being outed as a psychopath), wan-faced lady detective (so familiar – what else has she been in? Can’t be arsed to google it) and hot yet ineffective family liaison officer Carla have their sights set on one perp: mad bad Jake.

They’ve got a point. He is shiftier than a cat in a mouse’s bedroom. Did you see him standing moodily in the  Standing Moodily spot (aka that pointless jetty infront of The Dog)?

AND – OMG – the genuinely spooky moment when Cindy called Holly’s phone and Jake answered!?!

But…now we know that Jake has his faults, being a wannabe rapist/child murderer and all, but this just isn’t his MO. We think he found the phone when he was out searching for Holly in the spooky woodland (admittedly, dressed a wannabe rapist) and was dumbass enough to answer it.

Our money’s still on the Hutch. But that’s just wishful thinking.

in other news

Frankie is dressed as a brass. Surely that must be the look she was going for?; Lauren and Gaz continue to take advantage of Spencer, like a goth/chav Fred & Rose West; Steph smug cow alert: beige. Even she couldn’t BTM a child disappearance; Ste and Newt continue to duel over Rae – less swords, more scally mind games. Yawn.

BTW – could the opening sequence be updated? Zoe and Hayley are still present, as is a gothed up Newt. So 2009. Sort it out.
