The Spill

On today’s show, we’re fresh off the latest wave of period-drama longing and scandal, which got us thinking… what are the greatest secret love stories TV has ever given us?We’re talking about the couples who had to hide everything. The forbidden romances. The relationships conducted in shadowy corners, behind closed doors, and across enemy lines.From the most controversial teacher-student storyline of the 2010s (yes, we’re going there), to a superhero slow burn where one very specific piece of jewellery kept two people apart for years… we unpack the romances that thrived on secrecy.Enemies to lovers. Illicit affairs. Hidden identities. Fake suburban bliss. Nothing bonds a couple quite like having absolutely everything to lose.Plus, Mon desperately wants you to listen to our Brutally Honest Review of Twilight here.  THE END BITS Support independent women's media Follow us on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

Today we’re diving headfirst into the second drop of a show the whole world has been talking about — and yes, we need to talk about that cliffhanger.Then, we're dissecting a heartfelt medical show reboot that's been decades in the making. The best part? The cast are still besties off-screen, as well as on set.Then, it’s time for the horror sequel that’s had 30 years of build-up. With an iconic final girl returning and a fandom obsessed with ghost masks, we break down whether this comeback delivers — or leans a little too hard on fan service. Is it actually scary? Did we guess the killer? And why does this franchise still have such a chokehold on us? Hear our Brutally Honest Review of Bridgerton Part 1 on Apple or Spotify.
