Just had a thought!, As Olivia is not Georgies real birth mother, how come she plays the part of her Granddaughter?, as she wouldn't look exactly the same if there was no true blood line!....... So, does Olivia have another child somewhere along the way and!, who is the father?....

Good question!

Maybe Rose takes her baby back and Olivia marries the artist?

This embodies what I said earlier regarding the flashback scenes in S2 - we know the end result, but we don't know how they got there. So there's plenty of twists & turns for S4.

I would doubt that any grandchild would look exactly like a grandparent given the mixture of DNA.

Having the same actress playing the part of of Olivia's granddaughter saves the producers finding another actress to play the part and probably saves time and money.

Ooh no Charenton don't say that!....... There has got to be more twists and turns than that!...... They wouldn't do something like that just to save money and time!........ We have much more drama to come in the next series I am sure!........... Bring it on!....

Found this series by mistake and now I'm hooked!!! some of the s/ls art near the knuckle but great all the same
I have just done Catch up on Sky for series 2 and will be revisiting series asap. Love it.
I have noticed that Craig Hall played the horrible Inspector in Dr Blake Mysteries. He is much nicer in APTCH.
Looking forward to series4.

The artist, actor Rick Donald, that appears in series three to paint the pictures of Olivia & James was also a policeman in the Dr Blake Mysteries. He played Constable Daniel Parks.

We have a Craig Hall not far from where I live. It's used by the local Boy Scout Troop, among others, for their meetings.

Perhaps Aussie soaps have the same actor types like we have in relation to Corrie and EastEnders. They do a turn in them both.

I knew I'd seen the artists somewhere before! Thanks.

Wow, what an ending. I was saving the last episode to watch this weekend. It was fantastic, but I was sorry we won't see the next series for a while. Hope it comes back on the BBC soon.

Well word has it that we wont be seeing the next series until about January next year Tiffany and I too cant wait to see it!..... Did you put that last spoiler up?, as Renee died in the last episode!, so not sure if you did or it was someone else that put it up before we had seen that episode!?....

Could the poster have meant ............

Sorry, I got Rene (Sarah's husband) mixed up with Regina. I hope that ...

Ooh I hope that doesn't happen!........ Not Jack.............

I have been overseas and only just caught up with the ending of the series, which was great. They threw in every cliff hanger except set Ash Park on fire!

When Regina first entered the story I found her irritating, now I love her going around in the haute couture of the day (in farmland!) listening at doors with rat poison in her handbag to see off one and all! She is a great panto villain.

I never warmed to Rene but I did find his funeral rites moving.

I doubt Elizabeth will expire on Carolyn's Sydney floor. She is one of the mainstays of the whole series, a brilliant character, expertly played. I think she has lots more in store and I relish seeing her take on Regina.

I hope Dr Henry Fox stays on too. He's definitely my taste!

I agree with all your thoughts there Duncann I too couldn't stand Regina but what a great character she is turning out to be!.... the same as Elizabeth, she was a horror when the series started but boy oh boy she has changed completely!... I love her smile it is lovely!.....

I cant wait for the next series to see what twist and turns there are going to be!........

Agreed. She really had great taste in clothes. You can't help but admire them for making her that way.

I am absolutely fascinated by all of them at the moment and the other night I spent ages on google and wiki reading about them and their careers , lots of photos as well, and the actress who plays Regina well!.... the difference in her when she is smiling and laughing!, you wouldn't know it was the same person, so she realty puts on a good act....

Joyce Collins was another who irritated me at the outset, but she is now becoming much more likeable.

Roy is the one bloke who I admire. He has a good word for everybody, and will support them, no matter what others may think

This is easily one of the best dramas on TV, but how sad that the BBC bury it in the afternoon! The ending of Series 3 was fantastic and although I am sure that Sarah won't die, it will be interesting to see how she will be saved.

My heart broke for poor Carolyn. It is so sad to see a woman so spirited and independent be so callously and viciously attacked by an unscrupulous man who thinks he is invincible. I hope Sir Richard gets his comeuppance and that Jack and Carolyn are strong enough to get through this ordeal.

However, the BBC was instructed by the BBC Trust to improve its daytime offering, especially drama. Hence we got The Indian Doctor, Father Brown, WPC 56, Moving On and others. A Place To Call Home will be part of that, and will have been bought by BBC Daytime out of the Daytime budget.

But I agree that it should get a prime time repeat (assuming that the purchased rights would allow for it)

I think someone mentioned this in the Father Brown thread (which I'm also a huge fan of),I don't think there is anything wrong with the BBC improving their daytime offerings, however, why aren't any of those excellent dramas and APTCH repeated in the evening? It beats awful rubbish like the new Zoe Ball venture and Tumble any day of the week!

I'm speculating here, but it could be down to one of two things (or a combination of both):

1) BBC Daytime is, I believe, a separate cost centre, so would have its own programme budget, quite separate from the main BBC one or BBC Two budget.

2) The rights as purchased might have allowed one initial broadcast and one repeat but might not have allowed for a prime-time broadcast (prime time is likely to cost more as more people will be likely to be watching). Thus, the rights will probably have been affordable within the constraints of the Daytime budget, but might have swallowed up too much of that budget had the rights been agreed for a prime time broadcast or repeat.


Hope that makes sense.

Does it really matter that these dramas' are on during the day?, I never watch them (or very rarely).. during the day as I work most days and don't get home until about 3.30, but what I do is record them on my freeview box so I watch them during the evening when I find there is hardly anything but reality programmes of one sort or another which the tv channels seem to think we only want to watch!.... ....... There is very little that I watch directly as it is being transmitted... So I look forward to watching them during the evening when I am ready to watch and I thik in this day and age there are a lot of people like me that do the same!........ And a real treat!.... when I get in bed at night I get my tablet and watch one of my favourites!... A Place to call Home or Doctor Blake Mysteries on the IPlayer..........

The only thing I would say is 'Perhaps they should advertise the daytime dramas' so that people who are not aware of them can, if they want record them to have a look at and see if they like them or not!'........
