Talk:Connie (TV series)

Query moved from article to here.

What was the name of Connie's designer house? This information appears nowhere on line. Please help!

The design house was called the "House Of Bea" which was owned by her stepmother, Bea. Connie had previously owned a chain of high street clothes shops, that were taken over by her stepsister Nesta (Bea's daughter).80.41.15.64 (talk) 00:03, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Plot Correction

The financial troubles with the shops comes near the end, and is a considerable surprise. The stepmother is still dominant in the early episodes.

I also recall a phony franchise, a factory girl who becomes mistress to a much bigger operator in the same business and a man who's selling private health care and is smitten with Connie, leaving his wife and well-paid job. But when it does come out on DVD, someone can improve the details.

The factory and the shops are two separate businesses. The shops were taken over by Connie's stepsister Nesta, but the factory/fashion house was a family-run business run by her father (Hector) and her stepmother Bea (though Bea dies about halfway through the series). Connie originally owned the shops outright, but she only ever owned a slice of the factory. By the time she returns to England, the factory business is losing money - which is how she manages to get a foothold in it again. The man you are referring to is David Jamieson, who Connie met at the beginning of the first episode when she arrived back in England and tried to take his chauffeur-driven car at the airport. 88.104.20.167 (talk) 04:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Discrepency between the song and the show

The song seems to relate to more up-market aspects of the fashion business, people who do their own shows. Was this a plot change when developing the series? --GwydionM (talk) 18:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The lyrics "I'm putting on the show" can be taken on a more metaphorical level. "I'm dressed in lace and it's 12 below zero", etc. It's all about putting on a brave front to get ahead and epitomises what Connie was about. 88.104.20.167 (talk) 04:45, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
