The last episode - question [spoiler]


I was slightly confused. In the scene in the park why did Sacha refer to Greg as Toni's dad, he was her boyfriend and Rose's father, not her dad.

reply

Anyone notice on end credits they missed out the daughter totally

reply

Toni was Greg's daughter from a previous relationship so he is technically Rose's grandfather, Vicky said the dad was unknown. When Toni had her breakdown and went into the psychiatric unit, Greg and Vicky decided to raise Rose as their own.

reply

Yes this was all explained by Vicki in the kitchen scene just prior to them all heading to the park to intercept Rose and her real mom.

reply

I was completely confused by the "Dad" reference. Perhaps I missed something, but what I got from the kitchen exposition was that Rose was Toni's daughter from one of Toni's previous relationships (father unknown), that Greg and his wife had brought up Toni's daughter Rose as their own (after Toni had been institutionalized for trying to harm infant Rose), and that there had never been a sexual relationship between Greg and Toni. But maybe I got it wrong...

The Player: The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.

Rosencrantz: Good God. We're out of our depths here.

The Player: No, no, no! He hasn't got a daughter! The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.

Rosencrantz: The old man is?

The Player: Hamlet... in love... with the old man's daughter... the old man... thinks.

Rosencrantz: Ah.
