DAMIEN MOLONY IN GAMEFACE - E4 COMEDY SITCOM - NEWS & DISCUSSION

I have to think about it well. Of course, Marcella and Jon should continue, but writing a sequel is not easy. In any case, there are more driving lessons, Simon has to go back to America and the father has to reappear. The psychiatrist was funny, but maybe he has to give something new? But who gives Marcella then the flashbacks?

Agree, it seems the Simon and Marcella storyline has to be done. But there needs to be more inner conflict for Marcella, hopefully in the form of Jon? I am wondering whether it would better for the will they won't they to begin all over again - the series finale did give them a re-set that would allow for a whole re-do! - or if there could be a sort of time leap and they are in a relationship, but it is not all plain sailing and the tension comes from that? Maybe Jon moves in and has weird habits annoying Marcella's flat mates lol. OR we discover Jon has a secret life. Or somethingsomethingsomething...


Oh I love Graham the therapist, that's not 'done' in my opinion.. there are so many more places to go with that. Graham's therapy techniques could become more and more questionable / funny... his motives could also become questionable (what if he started to have feelings for marcella for example.. or she became part of a secret psychology experiment he was conducting but didn't disclose). And as you say, we need our flashbacks and flashforwards, they are so integral to gameface!

Love the thought of the psychiatrist harbouring secret feelings for Marcella - he could really mess with any incipient romance with Jon (or anyone else).
Not too keen on the "leap ahead angle, I think the will they\won't they could go on for at least another series. After all, he may have taken her out for a date, but is broken arm girl still in the picture at all? That could put a spanner in the works if he is at all conflicted. But I would love to see her family's reactions to Jon having several businesses (her dad would be straight down the pub to celebrate, stopping off for a game of bowls on the way home) not forgetting, or course, Jon's reaction to them.
More acting jobs for Marcella, too.

Well then, I think, Graham should stay. biggrin With him Marcella can definitely experience a lot.

I am not sure if I would like a time jump. But the idea that Jon lives in the shared apartment and has weird habits I think is great. And the idea of ​​how Jon meets Marcella's parents also has something.

However, I also like to be surprised by Roisin as it goes on. When I thought about help, I think more of fun experiences from everyday life. We've already noticed that Marcella experiences some things that have already happened to some of us..

Yeah, I think the 'broken eggs' scenario showed us that Jon and Marcella have very different approaches to things. This could be hilarious in a living together situation! They would drive each others bonkers! But their chemistry together would keep them together!?!? Just spitballing here as our american friends would say!

I've been having this conversation in real life too. Yesterday's topic was - from what we know about Marcella, would or should she tell Jon she slept with Simon?!? What do you guys think?! cool

I think Marcella's innate self-destruct button would make her hide it at first, then blurt it out at a most inappropriate time. Or someone else would let it slip - it shouldn't rock the Marcella\Jon boat too much - but what if he's more into broken arm girl and has slept with her? How would Marcella react to that? She's better off telling him - everyone else knows, after all. Of course, his wife could find out and then turn up weeping at Marcella's door.

At first I thought, better she does not say it. What would it change? But so many have noticed that it will come out anyway. But how can you say that? When is the right moment? And just like Ellie, I think: what about the broken arm lady?

Ellie and Sana your analysis is good. I do wonder if Marcella would feel the need to tell Jon or not.. they are not in a relationship themselves yet. But further down the line..? I don't want to moralise it, but looking at it from within GameFace world, Marcella is trying to get her life back on track and maybe would want a clean slate. She's not done anything wrong towards Jon, (they are not in a relationship (yet!) and he was dating broken arm lady (but we don't know what that entailed!). I like how at first sleeping with Simon seemed like a set back for Marcella, to us, to her, to her family... but in fact it seemed to have help her move on and draw a line? Goodbye sex? So it that sense maybe it is a great thing and she can now move forward properly with Jon!

I agree domino, Marcella seemed genuinely regretful about having slept with Simon and the end of the series seemed to suggest a moving on or at least a moving forward for Marcella.

Yep, the Marcella / Simon storyline is done it seems, nowhere left for that to go really. Such a relief that Roisin C left it wide open for #Joncella potential though!

Maybe Tania has more story to come - after she's split up with Simon. Or maybe Marcella will take it upon herself to rescue Tania from Simon and they become weirdly similar friends!

I'm really hoping for a second series announcement in 2018. If not with Channel 4 (they'd be foolish not to) then hope it gets picked up by Netflix or Amazon, or something something something!
