Help with an Afterlife question


I've been catching Afterlife on Chiller here in the US, and have been enjoying it. Chiller shows it out of order, though, so I have been unable to find out what happened to Jude's husband (the father of her 2nd child)? Did he leave her?

Thanks.

He left her for a younger woman.

Yeahhh, she admits it to Robert, jack ass left Jude w/the new baby for a young tart. Poor lady.

I have to say I am glad it's being shown somewhere in the U.S. though it'd be nice if they could get the order right...

F-ck no I think its hilarious - The Comedian

Its like a dirty thought in a nice clean mind - PUV

Actually I'm not at all sure Jude had remarried - is there a scene or line of dialogue I've forgotten that explicitly states that this chap was her second husband? Without giving too much away there's a scene towards the end of the series in which Robert enters her name as Jude Bridge (her married name) on a legal document.
Speaking personally I wasn't too convinced by him leaving her, especially as she'd had his baby (or so I'm assuming). Obviously it happens, all too often, but it struck a false note. Still, a rare weak point in a series that on the whole was excellent.

In the final episode she also refers to him as "my husband."

And still wears a ring.

While I missed a few eps along the way, apparently I missed the part that said they never really got formally divorced.

OR, missed an ep in season 2 in which they remarried.

I just finished Season 2, and there was definitely no wedding. For some reason I *thought* she and Clive were married; this could be due to their party in S1, which struck me as very married-couplish - but I couldn't tell you why!! In the final episode, Jude does cry out that she wants her husband - in reference to Robert - but I thought that at one point someone mentioned that couples who've lost an only child often divorce; I always thought Jude and Robert had. (I think it would be very odd for her to be having a child with another man if this weren't the case, and it *has* been five years since Josh died.)

I don't recall hearing Clive's last name - Gorman, I think, from the credits here - spoken at all? Alison, when trying to track down Robert, calls Information/Directory Assistance (I assumed) saying she's looking for a Jude or Judith Bridge. I think there was a reference or two to "wife" over the course of the last few episodes in re Jude/Robert, but I'm almost certain it was just as they were together again, not remarried.

I just watched this and he is referenced as her exam husband more than once
