With a friend like Ros, who needs enemies??? *possible spoilers*


For a person claiming to be Gemma's friend, she's doing really crappy job. She seems closer to Simon (and on his side) than Gemma.

And telling Police she found meds in Gemma's purse... what a bi@tch!

This line does not exist.

I completely agree with you. Ros is really doing a crappy job as a friend, and yes, it seems as if she's more on Simon's side, well in everything. What was the reason to tell the police what she discovered, instead of asking Gemma first? Even if she's looking for her share in a partnership. But first be aware and also being Simon's "ally", knowing about the relationship for months, and then this? She really is a bitch.

I've seen 4 episodes by now, one remaining. And I still don't know if I think it's a good series.

And when it rains, it certainly pours. Suspension from work, negative comments about her get posted on the Internet and the police suspect her of involvement in her mother-in-law's death. Jeez, what a mess, no wonder she falls apart.

Still, revenge can be sweet. Looking forward to Gemma transforming into a she-devil at the dinner party, haha.

Yeah, she's being a dip. But you know, people in real life are often very conflicted, and don't realize their actual motivations. We do lots of things just because we "feel" like it, without thinking it through.

She's known Simon all her life....maybe she had a subliminal crush on him, as well. This could have been clearer.

Yes Ros is not what I'd consider a great friend.Why would she text Simon telling him that Gemma is following him? Why didn't she just tell Gemma to start off with about Simon regardless of if she thought Gemma was thinking she is lying? At least when Gemma did find out she'd known that indeed Ros is a friend who cared.

i'm just watching season 1, but ros has absolutely no reason to have mixed loyalties.
makes no sense.

As a friend, Roz sucks. Big time.

reply

Ros was the character I was most confused about. She seemed to switch loyalties between the two a lot. At first she was all about forgive and forget, boys will be boys and its only sex. Later she was wondering why she hadn't told him yet? Then the whole underplaying the severity of his financial situation that he told her when she told Gemma. Very odd.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with ALL above posters...Simon is a PATHETIC piece of useless detritus and Ros as a 'friend' of ANY kind ...there are no words!!! MOST unlikeable excuse of a character..!

reply

I hated her! I want to punch that stupid "butter wouldn't melt" expression off her face.

If I feel so strongly against telling my friend I know her hubby is cheating I'm certainly not going to cover and lie for his sorry az.

reply

I'm only on episode three, but like most I'm thoroughly confused by Ros. As far as I'm concerned you're either with me or against me when it comes to knowing my husband is having an affair. I get that Ros was conflicted, but she should've stayed out of it if she couldn't pick a side. And let's not even start on their accountant. He is pretty sleazy.
