Gold Digger spoilers
In tonight’s sixth and final episode, in the wake of the damning revelations about Benjamin (Ben Barnes), Julia (Julia Ormond) returns to Devon to confront the fact it’s her wedding day.
She’s all set to offload onto Della, when her daughter interrupts. She is so sorry that no one supported her mother over Benjamin, and Julia’s bravery in sticking to her guns has inspired Della to finally grow up and invite Emily (Maeve Dermody) to the wedding. Julia can’t ruin this for her daughter so she seeks out Ted instead.
Ted says that he knew she wouldn’t be able to go through with the wedding, and tells her he still loves her and they could be together and happy, like they used to be. But Julia skewers his notion of the past, finally forcing Ted to confront what he did…
Gold Digger airs Tuesday nights on BBC One at 9PM.
