Maybe as the years passed and Joanie asked questions Cole voiced the opinion that Alison may not have killed herself. I would imagine that Alison's death would have made headline news in Montauk especially as her first child died in an accident involving the sea. Joanie would have known that her mother's death was recorded as suicide but may have asked her father why she would have done such a thing.

That's my guess the last part, and we will never know probably how he was after. I don't see her going to Montauk to find out what happened if she doesn't find out the truth. Though 30 years later, I don't know how you would find the truth if they couldn't find anything when it happened.

The producers did say that Joanie will return to a "climate ravaged" Montauk to find out about her mother's death.

Well climate change is imminent, so I can see that being written into the story line.

Lets hope she sees justice done for her mother - and closure for her.

Ben going to be 60 or 70 something years old! Also no word if Ramon Rodriguez is on S5 (I don't think he is), so we shall see about justice.

Maybe his wife whacked him on the head with a frying pan for cheating! Some good old fashioned justice.

Ok that would be funny!

Well things do happen differently in The Affair land. Helen got away with drug driving (an automatic driving ban and a whacking great fine in the UK and if children were in the vehicle maybe lots of visits from Social Services) I think she should have got community service at least. If Ben could get away with murdering Alison, anything could happen.

I see Dominic West is in a new tv mini series of Les Miserables playing Jean Valjean. It isn't a musical so wont be singing!

“@SarahTreem’s emotional wrecking ball of a drama concluded its fourth season by examining how it feels when the worst happens all over again.” -@theseantcollins of @decider named #TheAffair one of the Best TV Shows of 2018:

Sometimes the worst happens, but before long we can at least say the worst has passed. Right? Sarah Treem’s emotional wrecking ball of a drama concluded its fourth season by examining how it feels when the worst happens all over again—when the same forces of gender, class, family, history, and plain human desire that upended the lives of Noah & Helen Solloway and Cole & Alison Lockhart years earlier when Noah and Alison began their titular relationship return to sink them all into the ocean once again. With all those relationships long severed and new partners and liaisons (dangerous and otherwise) in the mix, the route into and out of psychological disaster is more complicated than ever. And with the untimely, brutally unexpected death of a core character, it’s also more tragic. But Treem’s eye for how men and women experience, and are allowed to experience, each other and the world around them is as sharp as ever—employing actor Ruth Wilson’s Alison, one of the all-time great TV character creations, as its primary lens one last time.

Thanks for the great pic of Cole.

Interesting. I wonder what convinced Dom to sign on with The Affair?

Regarding Ruth, I know she herself has said she didn't leave over money or other work. I still want to know why, but of course she still can't say anything about it.

[LWS53]

It looks as though no-one can say anything about it as I'm sure her fellow stars would have said something if they could. Somewhere someone has lawyered up and a lot of money may be involved if someone breaks the silence.

Regarding Dom signing up for The Affair I suppose he wouldn't have known what was to come after the Pilot at the time of signing. Also it must be very flattering to know you are the first choice for a part.

I watched the first part of Les Miserables Sunday night and it's the first part of Luther tonight. It's just a pity Josh hasn't got a new show yet.
