Red Magazine October 2024

I here’s a moment in Rivals, the new television adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s bestselling novel, when Aidan Turner’s character recites WB Yeats’ famous poem When You Are Old. It’s a moment of peak Irishness, and, for Turner, who has long cherished a yearning to play a literary Irish character, the scene was joyous. ‘I loved it!’ he exclaims over Zoom, grin wide across his face. ‘I think I was enjoying it way too much. I could smell the classroom again when I started reading that. I was going, “Oh, my god, I remember all of these poems!”’

Turner is trying hard right now not to use the word ‘fun’ when describing Rivals, but he tells me that it’s proving rather impossible. ‘It was the most fun I think I’ve ever had on a production,’ he declares. Watching the show, I can’t say that I doubt him for a second. Set in the fictional upper-class county of Rutshire, Disney’s raunchy new series delves into the cut-throat world of independent television in 1986, in which a long-simmering rivalry between Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant), controller of Corinium Television, and notorious womaniser Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) is threatening to boil over. Against a backdrop of sex, scandals and scheming, Irishman Declan O’Hara (Turner), a talented talkshow star who is wooed to the countryside to join Corinium, vows to get his revenge.

‘I THINK WORKING ON RIVALS WAS THE MOST FUN I’VE EVER HAD ON A PRODUCTION’ 

‘It happens once in a while when all the stars align,’ enthuses Turner, ‘and you get a bunch of really great actors who want to work with each other, want to work on this material and who want to be in this particular place at this particular time.’ Reading the script, he could immediately understand O’Hara’s sense of alienation as he steps into a quintessentially British world obsessed with class. ‘Because I’m Irish, I didn’t have to try too hard to put those glasses on,’ he explains. ‘It seems to me very much like he is the outsider. He doesn't really like the people or what they’re trying to achieve. He sort of has a bohemian sensibility. He’s a literate person, a more serious person. He’s a journalist. He likes things black and white, straight and clear, and this world I think he finds a bit gross.’

As you’d expect from a Jilly Cooper adaptation, Rivals is a rollickingly entertaining romp, full to the brim with helicopters, horse riding, lavish parties and romantic entanglements. But the show has political shades, too, examining questions of race, gender, class and sexual liberation through a 2020s lens. ‘I think it feels really truthful and honest,’ Turner says with sincerity. ‘I think we’re showing a world that, I think in some ways, still does exist, but very much existed in a different way back then. And I think we show it in a kind of no-frills approach to it.’ With the exception of high-powered executive Cameron Cook (Nafessa Williams), Turner notes that the majority of the women in the show don’t hold positions of power. ‘We show the hypocrisy and the bigotry in that,’ he adds passionately. ‘It’s not just like, “Here’s what it was like, let’s move on,” you know? It’s not just a museum piece. I think we’re showing how wrong that was, how difficult that was, and I think how we’ve made improvements in the years gone by.’

He suspects that some viewers won’t expect that commentary from a show like Rivals. ‘They may think it’s fluffy, or it’s just a comedy,’ he says. ‘I mean, it’s very much not. I don’t think you get the calibre of actors involved in the show if it was just that, either.’ The cast became like a family unit, he says, and for actors of a similar age to himself, some of whom are parents, filming the show in the Cotswolds offered a unique opportunity to bond. ‘You know, we’re getting out of London for a week or two, and we’re getting to hang out in Bristol and have cocktails at night and talk about the show and do all these things,’ he explains. ‘We quickly realised that this is quite special, and we’re going to lean right into it.’ Did that involve getting into the party spirit, I ask? ‘I don’t want to start getting in trouble,’ he chuckles. ‘But there was a sprinkle of hedonism over the production, for sure. It makes the show better.’

If Rivals offered Turner a little escapism, it’s also further proof that as an actor, he can’t be neatly categorised. Since galloping onto our screens as the swashbuckling, scythe-swinging protagonist in Poldark, he’s resisted being pigeonholed as a romantic lead, winning plaudits playing a top coach accused of abuse in tennis drama Fifteen-Love, and a chilling clinical psychologist in crime thriller The Suspect. ‘It was nice to do a couple of shows that were in contemporary worlds, you know, wearing suits and jeans and shoes and carrying iPhones,’ he says modestly. ‘And not riding around in horses and carriages, or in a world of goblins and orcs or whatever. So yeah, it’s good to mix it up, but you never know what’s around the corner.’

Let it be known, though, that if the occasion calls for Turner to jump on a horse, he’s more than up to the task. As well as riding, he boasts an impressive range of talents, including being a champion ballroom dancer. What skills did he learn on the set of Rivals? ‘I can drink whiskey like nobody’s business,’ he laughs. That, and drive O’Hara’s yellow Mini. ‘That Mini was almost impossible to drive, and I’m pretty good at it now.’ He did also grow a statement moustache. ‘For the first time in my life as an actor, I felt a little bit sad to get rid of it,’ he says ruefully. ‘I had it for so long. We’ll see if it comes back’. 

He’s excited for Rivals to make its way out into the world. ‘We’re all just really happy and proud, he says. ‘You know, it’s the show that we set out to make, which is also a rare thing.’ That said, he’s not in a rush to find his next project. ‘Sometimes you also just need to step back for a while and not work all the time, and wait for the good thing to come along,’ he muses. ‘I’m a better person when I do the work that I really want to do.’ When we speak, he’s in Canada with his wife, Succession star Caitlin FitzGerald, who is filming, and his two-year-old son. They navigate who takes on the next project, he explains, by having an open dialogue. ‘I mean, our lives have changed a lot and not a lot at the same time, if you know what I mean. We’re still both working. We’re still both lucky that way. We can keep working and keep our family life together, and everything is just great and happy.’

‘I LOVE BEING AN ACTOR, BUT I THINK THERE’S ALSO SOME OTHER HATS THAT I CAN PUT ON’ 

Turner’s not at liberty to discuss his next project, but he’s very excited for it. ‘It’s a very different type of show than anything I’ve done before,’ he smiles. In the future, he envisages working more with friends and hopes to turn his hand to producing. ‘I love being an actor. But I think there’s also some other hats I can put on that I can be equally as good at, if not better.’ In the meantime, he says, his roles are only getting more interesting. ‘It’s the best thing!’ he exclaims. ‘I mean, I sort of knew it was gonna happen.’ With the benefit of life experience, he explains, his characters are naturally getting more layered. ‘I think that matters you know? I want to listen to a 41-year-old man, over a 21-year-old man. I just do,’ he says emphatically. ‘For me, that’s more interesting.’ 

Twenty years after breaking into the industry, he’s lost the ‘cacophony of nerves’ that came with trying to impress as a young actor. ‘I’ve learned that it’s okay to find the thing, or to not know the thing, to get on set and go, “Okay, I have no idea how we’re going to do this.”’ It’s been freeing, he says, learning to let go. ‘Now it’s fun and creative and it feels more relaxed, and then the work is better through all that, too. So I guess if I could say something to the younger actor, it would just be, breathe. Everything’s gonna be fine. You know the lines, you know the work. Just get in there and have fun. And don’t worry so much about the work itself. The work will happen. Just let you happen first.’

Shules + Needing to kiss to hide from bad guys

post 5x09, slight au in that Shawn and Jules meet up before 5x10.

Shawn shouldn’t be here. He’d been denied access to the case, thanks to his bluntness almost blowing it three days in. Yet here he is, in a pressed tux and sharp looking tie, sauntering through the gala as if it’s a legitimate party and not a cover for illegal arms dealing.

Juliet knows he shouldn’t be here. It doesn’t stop her from noting how good he looks in that tux.

She makes her way carefully across the floor to him, mindful of the fact that the hem of her dress sweeps the ground. How she’s expected to fight in it, she has no idea. At least the shimmery layers hide the slit through which she can reach her gun, strapped to her thigh.

Shawn catches her eye when she’s about five feet away, and though he grins like normal, something in his gaze feels... different. His eyes hold the same intense storm of emotions she;d seen after they’d...

“May I have this dance?’ Shawn asks, with a smouldering look, daring to kiss the back of her hand. Juliet grips his hand tightly in a warning, trying to stop gaping at him and look severe.

“You shouldn’t be here,” she says, even as he pulls her close and moves them to the dance floor.

Shawn shrugs. “I wanted to talk to you.”

Juliet scoffs. “Oh, yeah, and the middle of a dangerous undercover assignment is the perfect opportunity.”

“Says the woman who kissed me in her boyfriend’s living room.”

Her cheeks heat up with shame and a bit of something else at the memory. “I, um... I broke up with Declan.”

“See?” Shawn grins. “We’re talking!”

“This isn’t the time or the place,” she  murmurs. “You deserve my full attention, not just the amount I can spare while I’m looking for one of Santa Barbara’s most wanted.”

“Well, it seemed like I had your attention when you were looking at me like you wanted to drag me into a bathroom and--”

“Shawn,” Juliet says, a warning in her voice.

“Hey, I’m just saying, I think that was a moment, y’know, when our eyes met across the room--”

“Shawn.” Juliet is no longer listening, just trying to get him to shut up. She’s spotted their perp... and she thinks he’s spotted her.

No.

He’s looking at Shawn.

“Shawn, we’re in trouble,” she murmurs.

For all of his idiotic rambling, he catches on quick. “I see him. And, uh, he sees me.”

Juliet closes her eyes briefly, trying to think of a plan. All that does is focus her senses on how close Shawn is to her, how he’s holding her so gently. His breath is ghosting over her face and she can;t stop thinking about repeating what happened at Declan’s house, about stretching up just a little bit and--

“Kiss me,” she demands. They can hide in plain sight.

Shawn doesn’t even hesitate, dropping his mouth to hers and kissing her soundly. She gasps, startled by his swift action, and his tongue slides into her mouth. Damn, and she’d thought their first kiss was knee-weakening...

 It is entirely too long before the kiss ends, and at the same time, not long enough. Juliet knows she needs to find their perp, but at the same time, Shawn is still in her arms, grinning breathlessly down at her. She could happily keep kissing him for the rest of the night.

Before she can get her head on straight, they’re interrupted. An entirely too familiar voice comes from just over Juliet’s shoulder.

“O’Hara,” Carlton asks, “what the hell are you doing?”

Future Sims/KH Series

I am continuing Hikari University, I swear! I’m just not sure what to do or where to go with it now but I do intend to continue it at some point. In the mean time I want to finish up Charmed Hearts and I would like to do some of my other favorite tv shows. I think after Charmed Hearts, I wanna do a Lucifer series which will be titled “Sora: King of Hell”. So as you can guess, Sora will be cast as Lucifer (I know they’re NOTHING alike but I am a huge Deckerstar shipper and I love Chloe and Lucifer’s love story so I have to do Sora and Kairi as Lucifer and Chloe!) The KH characters aren’t necessarily taking the actual role of the character anyway, they’re more being placed in that character’s position. Anyway, here’s the few shows I decided to do and the cast lists for them. If there is a ✅ then it’s set. If there is a ❓, then it might change. Any shows where parents are present, they will stay the same considering all the main KH characters are around the same age, same with any kids. Also if some of the main KH characters are missing, I’m just not sure where to put them yet.

Lucifer (Sora: King of Hell)

Sora as Lucifer Morningstar (✅) Kairi as Chloe Decker (✅) Riku as Amenadiel (✅) Skuld as Maze (✅) Namine as Linda Martin (✅) Roxas as Dan Espinoza (✅) Xion as Charlotte Richards (✅) Vanitas as Michael (✅) Sterlitzia as Eve (✅) Ventus as Ella Lopez (✅)

Boy Meets World (Sora Meets World)

Sora as Cory Matthews (✅) Kairi as Topanga Lawrence (✅) Riku as Shawn Hunter (✅) Axel as Eric Matthews (✅) Namine as Angela Moore (✅) Terra as Jack Hunter (✅) Aqua as Rachel McGuire (✅) Maybe I’ll cast Xion as Lauren 😅

Psych (Sora: Psychic Detective)

Sora as Shawn Spencer (✅) Kairi as Juliet O’Hara (✅) Riku as Burton Guster (✅) Axel as Carlton Lassiter (✅) Aqua as Chief Karen Vick (✅) Xion as Selene (❓) Skuld as Marlowe Viccellio (✅) Ventus as Buzz McNabb (✅) Namine as Abigail Lytar (❓) Roxas as Declan Rand (❓)

Once Upon a Time (Once Upon a Kingdom)

Sora as Prince Charming/David Nolan (✅) Kairi as Snow White/Mary Margaret (✅) Namine as Emma Swan (✅) Aqua as The Evil Queen/Regina Mills (✅) Terra as Robin Hood (✅) Riku as Captain Hook/Killian Jones (✅) Roxas as Baelfire/Neal Cassidy (✅) Axel as Rumplestilskin/Mr. Gold (✅) Skuld as Belle (✅) Sterlitzia as The Wicked Witch/Zelena (❓) Xion as Ruby/Red Riding Hood (✅) Ventus as Pinocchio/August Booth (✅)

Those are the ones I’m doing for sure. Other possibilities are Pretty Little Liars, Scrubs, Ghost Whisperer and Prison Break where Sora & Kairi would definitely be cast as Hanna/Caleb, JD/Elliot, Melinda/Jim, and Sara/Michael. Hopefully I can finish up Charmed Hearts soon and start on Lucifer! I’m excited to do the Lucifer AU!

How Dunfermline Athletic can improve in January

Stevie Crawford got his recruitment spot on in the summer, but with second up for grabs then there needs to be a concise effort made to make the right moves for this to be a team that can compete in the play-offs | @MichaelWood_SJ

Crawford realises the strength of his squad along with the rest of us. Two goalkeepers: Cammy Gill and Owain Fôn Williams. Six defenders: Euan Murray, Josh Edwards, Lewis Martin, Lewis Mayo, and Paul Watson. Five midfielders: Fraser Murray, Iain Wilson, Kerr McInroy, Kyle Turner, and Steven Whittaker. Four attackers: Declan McManus, Dom Thomas, Kevin O’Hara, and Ryan Dow. That is 17 players…

Motherwell 0-1 Hamilton Academical: Visitors cause shock in Lanarkshire derby

Hakeem Odiffin, genuine, bought the winner at Fir Park

Hakeem Odoffin’s stupid header carved out Hamilton Academical’s first victory of the Scottish Premiership season to stun winless local opponents Motherwell.

The hosts dominated the first hour at Fir Park however Ryan Fulton in the company’ aim pissed off Stephen Robinson’s aspect.

Midfielder David Turnbull had a shot and header saved as Motherwell pressed.

On the opposite hand, a trio of 2nd-half adjustments enlivened Hamilton they most steadily stung Motherwell with Odoffin’s winner.

Response & because it came about?

How did you price the gamers?

The absence of followers lowered the depth of this derby, the nonetheless around Fir Park the total more poignant when the stadium fell fully silent to endure in mind worn Fir Park well-liked Tom Forsyth.

On the opposite hand, Turnbull, Allan Campbell and Ticket O’Hara were soon throwing themselves into tackles and dominating the midfield, where Hamilton’s Scott Martin changed into left exposed.

Fulton threw himself to his genuine to attach a Turnbull power and did even better to parry the Motherwell man’s header from 12 yards after Ricki Lamie had curled in the unsuitable.

Sherwin Seedorf made a burst from the genuine and compelled a attach from Fulton with a low shot, while Marios Ogkmpoe and David Templeton no longer step by step looked love a threatening combination up front.

Referee Alan Muir one diagram or the opposite neglected a Declan Gallagher inappropriate on David Moyo genuine outdoors the sphere, and that changed into genuine about Moyo’s closing contribution earlier than Hamilton head coach Brian Rice made a raft of adjustments halfway throughout the 2nd half.

Odoffin had potentially the most abominable move over moments earlier than his diving header received the game, failing to expose in Shaun Need’s flick from three yards. He higher than made up for it with six minutes to play when he converted Reegan Mimnaugh’s corner.

Man of the match – David Turnbull

Along with his desire to web on the ball, aggression, power and makes an strive at aim alongside with his toes and head, David Turnbull changed into the standout player at Fir Park.

What did we learn?

What a sore one for Robinson and the Motherwell gamers, however the merciless truth is that the consequence is same outdated of their season so far. They’ve a solid midfield that would possibly maybe maybe web a grip on a match however they are missing a scoring chance from their strikers.

Hamilton did no longer search for love including to their sole Premiership aim except Rice gave his crew a youthful injection alongside with his adjustments.

Sooner than kick-off, Rice acknowledged that the two adjustments he had made to his starting line-up were a end result of Ogkmpoe and Justin Johnson coming on as subs in opposition to St Mirren and staking their claim for a initiating.

Mimnaugh, Callum Smith and Andrew Cool climate can most attention-grabbing delight in boosted their possibilities of starting Hamilton’s subsequent match.

What did they are saying?

Media playback is no longer supported on this instrument

Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson can no longer veil his frustration after derby defeat.

Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson: “What number of balls does David Turnbull must attach in the sphere for somebody to web on the discontinuance of it?

“We preserve asserting we’re no longer far away, we preserve asserting we are 60, 70% possession. That’s Rangers and Celtic field cloth, however they delight in got of us to attach the ball on the support of the web. They impact the genuine to capture video games they most steadily build no longer concede love that.

“I signed the gamers and in the waste if I web the subs or no longer it’s my fault as effectively. We must no longer getting the implications we would prefer so we would prefer to initiating making adjustments.

“I preserve claiming inappropriate success, I hang that runs out after a while. I am boring myself with that.

“Somebody at some stage has to step up and get targets or we’re in pain.”

Hamilton manager Brian Rice: “I notion the first half Motherwell were on top however we placed on three younger kids who changed the game.

“I felt 2nd half there changed into a aim coming. I would possibly maybe maybe well in fact feel the perception coming on. I am fully satisfied as we’re a straightforward plan for each person.

“These are particular video games to capture. I am so satisfied for each person and the total Hamilton followers.”

Media playback is no longer supported on this instrument

Hamilton boss Brian Rice is satisfied after beating Motherwell in the Lanarkshire derby.

What’s subsequent?

It might probably maybe well scarcely be more difficult for Motherwell and Hamilton subsequent weekend. Accies host Rangers on Saturday earlier than Motherwell fling to Celtic Park the next day.

Barisic injury worry for Rangers

FT: Hamilton Academical 1-4 Rangers

Left-back Borna Barisic is a doubt for Wednesday’s Premiership trip to Kilmarnock after the Croatian was forced off with a hip complaint in the second half of today’s win at Hamilton.

“We don’t think it’s a major concern but he’s one that we’re going to have to try and do our best to get out there on Wednesday because he’s so important for us,” said boss Steven Gerrard.

HALF-TIME St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell

Despite the challenging conditions, it’s been a really entertaining game in Paisley.

Ilkay Durmus hit the post inside the first five minutes, while Alex Jakubiak and Jon Obika also came close for the hosts.

But Motherwell have had a bit more quality in the final third, and though Mark O’Hara’s goal was a rebound, they probably just about deserve the lead at the break.

HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-0 Kilmarnock

It has been a poor half of football at Pittodrie, where chances have been at a premium.

Aberdeen have had several opportunities to cross from corners, free-kicks, and from the wings where they’ve found space, but every time the delivery has been inaccurate – most likely due to the windy conditions.

Kilmarnock look comfortable, despite the home side now enjoying the lion’s share of possession.

It is almost 500 minutes of football since the Dons found the net, and they look no closer so far.

Well, let’s hope the wind sweeps in some entertainment in the second half. The Inverness striker Miles Storey has looked the most likely player to break the deadlock, having one shot blocked on the goalline and knocking one on over the Livi bar.

Livi lost 2-0 to Ross County during the week – they’ll be hoping they’re not heading south again this evening with nothing to show for their efforts.

HALF-TIME Ayr United 1-2 St Johnstone

St Johnstone have the advantage at the break but they’ve had to work for it in Ayrshire.

Aaron Drinan raised home hopes of another Scottish Premiership scalp after knocking Ross County out of the tournament last month but Aaron Muirhead’s own goal followed by his red card and Callum Hendry’s header has put Saints in control.

GREAT SAVE!

St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell

Another good stop from Vaclav Hladky, after Chris Long makes space on the edge of the box before firing towards the near post. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

Gerrard had to ‘rattle cages’

FT: Hamilton Academical 1-4 Rangers

Rangers manager Steven Gerrardhad to “rattle a few cages” at half-time as his team eventually swept Hamilton Academical aside earlier today.

Dogged Accies fought back from a goal down to hold Rangers until the final quarter. Three strikes eventually secured a 4-1 victory and passage to the Scottish Cup quarter-finals for Gerrard’s men.

“I was very disappointed in us defensively in the first half,” the manager told Rangers TV. “I had to address that at half-time and rattle a few cages and get them switched on and focused and in the right place defensively.

“Once we did that, we played some nice stuff, created a lot of chances and scored some really impressive goals.”

Whiskey

Summary: Post-7x08, Juliet crashes Carlton’s happily married life and attempts to drink all his whiskey. He’s got to a) stop her from doing that and b) figure out why the hell she’s trying to in the first place.

Warnings: Irresponsible consumption of alcohol, references to alcohol poisoning, I guess binge drinking too

Words: 895

Carlton and Marlowe have enjoyed a delicious dinner, and are now on the couch with wine. His glass is only half empty, but he’s far too captivated to drink. Instead, he plays with strands of Marlowe’s hair and smiles softly at her. He’s sure he looks as smitten as he feels. His wife moves closer, curling into his side, and tilts her head up for a kiss. He’s ready to oblige, already leaning down to drop his lips to hers-

Loud, unceasing banging on his door makes him growl in frustration, reaching for his gun as he stalks toward the noise.

“Who the hell are you and why shouldn’t I shoot- O’Hara what are you- okay, sure just come in.”

“I need a drink. Where’s your whiskey? Hi, Marlowe.”

“Hi?”

“In the glass cabinet. Yeah, that one. O’Hara, what are you do- use a glass, you heathen!”

She ignores his indignant exclamation and takes several long swallows of his best whiskey straight from the bottle. “Carlton, I have worked an entire case with my ex. I have tried to continue to do my job, to uphold the law, all while dealing with many things I thought were certain being total falsehoods. Over the past six days, I have reached the conclusion that with so far only one exception, the men in my life will continue to be lying bastards and let me down at every turn. I can drink from the bottle if I fucking want to.”

He blinks, unsure of where to start. “One exception?”

“It’s you, you dumbass.” She flops onto the couch. “Wait, am I in your spot?” She must decide she is, because she moves to an armchair. 

For a few minutes, Carlton just watches his partner, curled in on herself, sipping an almost worrying amount of whiskey. Even if he didn’t know her, he’d be able to see that she had taken too many hits from the world, that she was exhausted and needed to rest.

“O’Hara…” Carlton starts to offer her his guest bed, but she interrupts him.

“He’s just- god, he’s a dick. Plain and simple.” She takes a gulp of liquor. “I knew it when I saw him. Stupid hair, stupid pick-up lines, stupid jokes that somehow made me laugh. I never should’ve fallen for it. Or him.”

“Well, I mean, I have been saying-” Carlton is cut off by a kick to the shin from his wife.

“I’m sorry you’re going through this, Juliet. I know you and Shawn were very close.”

“I thought we were,” she mumbles, the alcohol already quieting her words. “I thought we had something. Thought he loved me. But noooooo. ‘Course not. Too easy.” Another swig of whiskey. “‘Shoulda gone to Italy with Declan.”

“Come on, O’Hara, Rand was… he rubbed me the wrong way. Spencer, at least, when he was around you, it was like-”

“When he was around me, all he did was lie!” She sits up and whirls to face him. He doesn’t know when she’d crossed the line to drunk, but right now, he can tell she’s not sober. “He lied to all of us, Carlton! The first thing I knew about him was a lie, so what else, out of all of it, could possibly be true?”

He opens his mouth, the closes it again. Wordlessly he stands, heading to the kitchen. He returns with a whiskey glass. O’Hara literally rolls her eyes at him.

“I’m trying to get drunk, Carlton. Preferably quickly.”

“Alcohol poisoning is what you’re going to get,” he grumbles.

O’Hara lapses into silence, and Carlton turns to his wife. “Mar, we should make up the guest bed… or at least throw some blankets on the couch. She’s about to pass out.”

Marlowe raises an eyebrow at the bottle, verging on half empty. “You think? That bottle was full two hours ago.”

He nods. “O’Hara,” he starts, intending to ask her politely to stop drinking.

She interrupts him. “Shawn’s not psychic.”

Well, at least now he knows why she’s trying to down an entire bottle of whiskey.

“Alright, O’Hara. Let’s get you to bed.”

She frowns. “What? Didn’t you hear what I… Oh, right. You called it from the beginning. I was just… what was it you said, years ago? When I first showed up?”

Carlton winces and gently removes the bottle from her hands as she curls in on herself even further. Without waiting for a response, his partner answers her own question. “You said I was naive. You said I was far too trusting to ever be a good cop.”

He groans softly. “Juliet, that was years ago. I was flat-out terrible to you at first. We both know now that you’re an amazing cop.”

“Yeah, a cop who falls for a stupid long con for seven fucking years.”

“You’re way past drunk, O’Hara. We’re not talking about this now. We can discuss it in the morning. C’mon. Bed.”

She sighs and goes limp over the chair. Carlton can tell she’s close to falling asleep. He lifts her into his arms without much difficulty. “Marlowe, can you get some extra blankets from the linen closet? We’re not gonna have time to make up the bed.”

Marlowe makes a sympathetic face as she sees Juliet, drunk and exhausted and looking like her whole life has been torn to shreds. “I’ll get the blankets. You make sure she’s comfortable.”
