Jazzi, I have missed something important I think. Can you tell me why that new chap now owns "The Paradise" please?
What happened to the American owner from the last series?
I'm all of a muddle now.
Moray jilted Katherine Glendenning on her wedding day to be with Denise. She met up with the Weston chap (Tom?) and his daughter and got married. I can only assume he took over ownership.

Moray was sent to Paris (not sure by whom, maybe Katherine), but she brought him back. She told hubby that she left Moray at the altar, rather than the truth. As said last night, she knows his weakness, he flirts with women, but she'd stay and be the dutiful wife.

Though Weston asserts his authority, Katherine still has some influence, saying she wants Moray to feel safe at the Paradise. I had already read about Miss Audrey leaving to be with Denise's uncle but has been left open if she ever returns.

Yes, it may be a bit dull and slow, but it's a welcome from the constant kissing and sex scenes of many other shows. I hate OTT displays of affection!! In this one they merely give a peck on the cheek. That's enough for me!

Thanks for all the info Jazzi, but still don't understand how come the paradise has a different owner in the second series? Where did the previous owner & his family go (from the first series) - the American chap with the beard? Is he supposed to have died or something do you know?

The American chap with the beard was Mr Selfridge...not the Paradise

Re: The Paradise

No, Mups. Katherine met him after being jilted by Moray. Do keep up at the back, or it's a 100 lines from you!!

I k-n-o-w Jazzi me old duck, I'm on about who was the owner of the Paradise before Katherine's new beau bought it? In other words, who did this man buy it from because it had a previous owner in the last series?
I'm not going too badly bonkers am I - surely not??

*takes off teacher hat*. Soz! I can't remember who owned it before. Seems an age ago, the first series. I'm hoping it'll either come out one day in the dialogue or I get fed up and Google it!

Re: The Paradise

Right, according to Wikipedia. Series 1.

Moray owns The Paradise, having built it up when he was a draper's boy in Emersons. He is a widower. Financially dependent on Lord Glendenning (Patrick Malahide). Daughter Katherine expects to marry Moray. When Moray and Denise fall out she gets all local shops and stalls into a co-operative but this fails and Moray learns that Lord G owns the freehold of The Paradise and all surrounding shops. We know he follows his heart in the last episode and jilts Katherine.

Series 2.

Lord G has now died and Katherine inherits the Paradise. The store is up for sale and she brings Moray back from exile in Paris to revive the fortunes and to stop it being sold. Tom Weston, K's new husband, is determined to control his wife, and the store, over ruling Moray.

However!! Expect fireworks (and not the type brought over by Clemence!!) in the coming weeks...

There you have it, in a nutshell. Can't remember if Lord G wore a beard or not.
