Ha...so pleased you got that and that "Fanny" was used intentionally.

Such great minds like ours, cannot be separated by an ocean 😂😂😁

Uhh Ohhh...Fanny has personal experience with deep tissue wounds and she has man hands...you can change allot, but the hands are always the give away.

Any guesses at who 'she' really is?

The only "known" character, who seems a good candidate is Drunk Dribbly...aka big Dick the Porn director. Especially since Lymp said he dribbled her her interviews. Was he literally noodling his way, into the family, through mummy??

The only other alternative, is an unknown, but maybe connected to the porn operation.

Tarky seems way too masculine and Hetero...and there hasn't been enough time for trans surgery healing. Also since Pru didn't recognize Fanny, this character has to be an outlier.

It would be a great way to steal an inheritance...draw in mummy with attention and the regular shaggings, then kill her. Afterward move in on either daughter...Lymp probably was the intended target, but Dim will do in a pinch. Seduce Dim, then rinse and repeat with the killing. Lymp is next.

You aren't that linear though, so there has to be plenty of fun, diabolical, world intrigue and debauchery, still to come...thankfully!!

You have a wonderful imagination! Drunk Dribbly Dick is far too old for the Duhdashian girls, too sleazy too! Tarky is too wealthy to have an actual job. Photography is his hobby keeping him in the 'in crowd', which may come in handy later..... Our Fanny is an intact male, masquerading, sometimes as a paparazzi photographer and now as a woman because he is 'undercover'.... His reason for stalking Dim is not professional. He is, genuinely, in love with her! All the characters come together for New Year's Eve and after that there is..... DAVOS!

There's your biggest clues. 🥰

Shhh.... don't tell anyone! 🤣😂

Hmmm...let me go back an review the past episodes...interesting she is a "reporter", has nursing experience and man hands, but by all accounts is an attractive Fanny, with attachments.

I'll have to get back to you on this one.

I have been listening to their album Raising Sand today, KW. It is so soft and haunting in places. I like these recent more rocking tracks because they showcase Robert Plant's soaring emotional skills. Thanks for this track "High and Lonesome" - it has the hypnotic effect of Kashmir, a favourite of mine from his Led Zep days. This gig was special too:
