Emma Harte (Jessica Reynolds/Brenda Blethyn) Faces Edwin Fairley (Ewan Horrocks) & Jim Fairley (Toby Regbo) Outside Fairley Hall -- A Woman Of Substance 1x08 Part 3

After *that* big cliffhanger, could the adaptation series continue?

"...But it was in the show's final moments that it was revealed that all the hard work that Emma had put into making sure the Fairley's would never again take control over Fairley Hall was undone as Jim (Tony Regbo) made another unwelcome appearance.

...If a potential season 2 of A Woman of Substance were to go ahead, it's all down to what direction they'll take in the storytelling that obviously has a knock-on effect as to who we'll see in the show.

If the series continues the dual timeline then we'd certainly hope for a return of our co-leads, Jessica Reynolds and Brenda Blethyn. It's a given that both Paula (Mara Huf) and Jim (Tony Regbo) would be returning, seeing as they're about to embark on a major new chapter.

...Emma signed over her businesses to granddaughter Paula (Mara Huf), thinking she was the only one to be trusted but actually, she revealed she'd married Jim Fairley and was pregnant with his child. That means that despite her best efforts, Emma's plans of keeping Fairley Hall seem quashed now that he's an official part of the family and entitled to Paula's inheritance. Of course, it could be the case that Paula was smart enough to ensure that wouldn't be the case or that Emma has some kind of way of rescinding the contract but something tells us it'll be complicated.

As for young Emma, we saw that she confronted all of the Fairley's about the pain they've caused her and she bought Fairley Hall after securing the major army uniform contract. Edwin vowed to get his revenge on her so we'd assume that if a second season were to go ahead, we'd have those years in the middle filled in a little more.

How do the Fairley's survive this catastrophe and with no money to their name, how do they cope? With Priya (Hiftu Quasem) having a baby on the way and Edwin taking control over the family's business, we can assume that all the stress is put on his shoulders. We do know that Jim does end up working for a magazine that needs help, something that Emma initially says she'll see to after he lets her know about her children's coup of the business. So, does that mean that the Fairley's end up building their own media company perhaps?"

FYI: His name is TOBY REGBO -- not Tony!!!!🙄😤🤦‍♀️ Why does everyone continue to get his name wrong?!?! Poor Toby.😞

EDWIN FAIRLEY (EWAN HORROCKS) ANGRY ABOUT FAIRLEY HALL CONFRONTS EMMA HARTE (JESSICA REYNOLDS/BRENDA BLETHYN) WHO IS SURPRISED DECADES LATER BY JIM FAIRLEY (TOBY REGBO)

A Woman Of Substance 1x08

EDWIN FAIRLEY: Hey! Hey there, Emma Harte. How dare you? This is my house. It's my home.

EMMA HARTE: Not anymore.

EDWIN FAIRLEY: This will always be my home. It's got my name on it. So you might have won for now. Fairley Hall might be yours for a short time but don't ever make the mistake of stopping looking over your shoulder. Because if you think this feud has been brutal up to now, you haven't seen anything yet. I'm involved now. And soon I'll have a family of my own. So I promise you, whether it's next year or in 50 years, when you're least expecting it, somehow the Fairleys will take back this house.

==============================

EMMA HARTE: Paula! Paula!

PAULA: Grandy! Why didn't you tell me the reason for your Fairley feud? And why didn't you tell me you were giving it all to me?

EMMA HARTE: Because I knew you'd object. But now it's all yours. Paula, I trust you unreservedly despite that ill-judged dalliance of yours with Jim Fairley.

JIM FAIRLEY: Hey! Hey there. Emma Harte. Did I startle you?
