Hollington Drive episode 2 turned the screw last night (Wednesday October 6) with more twists and turns.
We got more confirmation that children Ben and Eva were involved somehow in the murder of Alex Boyd, some sister v sister battles and a big twist right at the end.
So you’re darn right we have some questions that need answering…
Hollington Drive episode 2: Why did Theresa lie so spectacularly?
You could also add: Why didn’t Theresa just go to the police when she knew both Ben and Eva were involved?
The fact is, crime dramas often feature characters who do the wrong thing. Every. Single. Time.
And last night, when both Ben and Eva admitted to seeing the body of Alex Boyd and then dumping it into the water in the woods, we all shared Theresa’s horror at the possibility that her son and niece could have had actually killed someone.

So what is a mother to do to protect her children? Lie, obviously.
The question is now whether Theresa will manage to climb out of the enormous hole she dug for herself.
She lied about being in the woods to DS Parks and then she actually fingered a suspect from a catalogue of dodgy local men.
Just to divert attention away from the kids.
That’s not good.
Why did Helen put down toilet roll on the toilet seat during their telephone conversation?
When Theresa did spin her untruths to DS Parks she rushed up to the toilet in her house to ring Helen.
Except Helen was at the mortuary with Gareth Boyd helping him to identify Alex’s body.
She had to sneak out to the loos to take the call from her panicked sister.
Viewers then noticed that she put down pieces of loo roll to cover the seats – even though she was fully clothed and the seat wasn’t actually up.
Creator Sophie Petzal answered on Twitter: “There was so much confab about the toilet roll. It was hilarious.
