I don't think so, he must have known Caroline was her mother, but not the identity of the father. They are keeping it from him at present as he might see it as another loss and they think he's lost enough..
I agree with this.

Some time ago I watched what turned out to be the pilot episode.
It had me hooked.
Never watched the likes of Dallas or Dynasty or Australian soaps.
This for me is really good with so many twists & turns.
I do hope the BBC take up series 4.

You must be the only person other than me who knows much about Les Baxter!
I keep getting Les Baxter confused with one of Lana Turner's husbands, Lex Barker

I'll listen to all eras of music. It just has to have a decent tune and be played or sung well.

I even like The Bowell Sisters, from the thirties. No end of videos on YouTube. They still have a wide appeal.

This recording is 86 years old, way ahead of their time..

I love the Boswell sisters, they were wonderful.
Looking forward to series three. Hope they have more original recordings.

Perhaps she went to the city & bought some of them?
You mean in one of the high fashion shops in Inverness?
I'm talking about the days after she first arrived.

No, the "city" that they often mention, where they often go for shopping or a break - Sydney (I presume).

Yes I know, perhaps I should use smilies, when I'm poking a bit of fun at situations.
She always appeared to be consistently overdressed amongst all the heat, flies and dust of the location.

That happens a lot! One had his own band, the other his own loin cloth. LOL. There was a time when many people would say Diana Dors instead of Doris Day. There are names that just get easily mixed up!

Diana Decker, same era as Diana Dors and Doris Day..

Dear, dear George ..... Even as his life slips away from a gunshot wound he still looks immaculate laying on the sun baked Australian ground.

I reckon Olivia will rue the day she takes on that maid. Methinks she is baby Georgies real mum!!

He has to keep up the dress code standards set by Regina.
But he will of course be saved "in the nick of time." I can hear the cavalry's bugles as I type, (I've not got round to watching this yet!)

My thoughts too, obviously set up by Andrew Swanson.

Olivia is becoming increasingly annoying.

I have the feeling you're right. At any rate, I see trouble.

They are a rich family with servants at a time when dress codes were still important in society. Doris Collins always wears a hat and gloves and carries a hand bag!

I think we can see most of the plot lines coming a mile off, which makes for better viewing IMO. Such as the doctor and James! I think Olivia is going to have a rocky Series 3!

I don't expect many will agree with me over this.

At the conclusion of series two, there were many loose ends and like others I was looking forward to another series, if only to see some resolutions..
But now I find it's turning into just another soap, which will drag on during series three with nothing resolved, before it reaches a conclusion at the end of series four.

I still enjoy some of it, but other parts seem a bit laboured, which has me reaching for the remote, to fast-forward my recording a minute or so several times.

Let's just hope BBC have the rights to it and we will get to see it in due course. I would hate to be left in the lurch at the end of series 3.

If the BBC, as they did, buy series 1 to 2 and now 3, they would have negotiated the option of taking series 4. It's just basic common business sense.

Yes but it will all boil down to ratings I expect Doghouse, although we on here are keen on the series I have no idea!, do you?, what the figures are!.....
