Is Jessie dating Jack? Is Fiona Rhys’s mother? How can everyone be related to traitors | Traitors

IIt’s a tangled web of intrigue in those castle corridors. Two hidden relationships have already come to light in the current run of The Traitors. The wrongfully exiled Jodie is revealed to be Faithfull’s mother Roxy, before psychiatrist Ellie admits that Ross, who has just been sent to pack himself, was her boyfriend.

One increasingly popular fan theory suggests that these secret connections are just the tip of the treacherous iceberg. Couch detectives claim that the framed family tree on display in the lobby of Ardross Castle – the one that traitors secretly painted with red fingerprints to identify candidates for murder – is an indication that everyone in this year’s game has a pre-existing link to someone else.

The Latin inscription on the image translates as follows: “Beware of whom you trust as your blood. Sharp knives are often handed to the table by trusted servants. Among close friends lurk the most hidden enemies. Beware lest your trust become the cause of your ruin and destruction.”

Sounds great, doesn’t it? If family trees were indeed the secret subject of the Civic series, the entire castle party could be formed into pairs and cunningly work together in teams of two. There were also recurring cut shots of the 1934 version of Who’s Who? In the castle library, which looks like a ringing biographical clue.

We’re not even halfway through the demonic contest yet, so we can expect more plot twists to come. Here are 10 potential options for more romantic relationships and family connections…

Reese’s mother is in the castle

Rhys from Sheffield – whose handy job title is Sweet Shop Assistant, like something out of Beano – has been the subject of multiple theories (not to mention multiple near-homicides). He “worships” Fiona “like a mother.” It could be because she is He is His mother? The anarchist secret traitor hails from Swansea and the name “Reece” has Welsh roots, as an English form of Rhys. This might also explain why Fiona was in no hurry to free him from his cage during the Hidden Skulls mission. As a traitor, she knew he would be safe.

Other viewers pointed out Reese’s close relationship with retired police detective Amanda. The pair continue to play snooker and have cozy tussles, suggesting that she may be his mother. Rhys is 27, Amanda is 57, and Fiona is 62. The math works in both cases.

There’s even a wild theory that Reese is related to Rachel – which explains why the fact that she asked him to leave her and Steven alone isn’t mentioned in the family tree on the crucial night in question. Among the screenshots from the series on his Instagram account, several shots of Reece with Rachel appear. coincidence? Probably yes, but it deserves a chin jab.

Jessie is dating Jack

Orange-haired Jessie from Hull emerges as this year’s ‘Jazzetta Christie’, with her sleuthing eyes firmly trained on the sharp-dressed traitorous Steven. There is also growing speculation that she is in a hidden romantic relationship with her personal trainer Jack, who at 29 is just a year older than her.

In this week’s cage duty, Jessie chooses to fight on Jack’s behalf. As they held hands through the bars of his cage, she whispered, “I love you!” Quite familiar to someone I had only met four days ago. When she successfully released him, Jessie jumped into Jack’s arms, screaming in delight. “I couldn’t be more proud of her,” he said. Aye aye.

Faraz is the son or grandson of Maz

This year’s youngest contestant, Faraz, a 22-year-old internal auditor, seemed particularly affected by last night’s murder of police officer-turned-civilian Maz. They are both humble men in a nice way. Both are devout Muslims from the north – Middlesbrough and Preston respectively.

Maz is a well-known family man with five children and five grandchildren. Could one of these be his fellow believers? Social media sleuths claim to have discovered similarities in their facial features and physical mannerisms. Hey, their names even rhyme.

Rachel and Matt are siblings

Admittedly, it’s a bit shaky, but some fans have speculated that Rachel and Matthew might be brother and sister. They’re both from Northern Ireland and rarely appear in conversation, suggesting they may be deliberately avoiding each other – or the edit is hiding their *hammer* relationship.

Matt and Stephen are engaged

Another suggestion is that Matt and Steven are secretly in a relationship. This may be just wishful thinking as they are the only two gay men in the competition, but the 30s share a Scottish link – Matt is based in Edinburgh, while Stephen is originally from the Isle of Lewis.

Matthew stated early in the series that he would use the prize money for a “big gay wedding” with his partner. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted Steven wearing what could be an engagement ring. It’s a long shot but it might work. However, Instagram posts indicate that they both have partners who are not in the game. At least they have nice knitwear in common.

Maz and Amanda are former police colleagues

They went down in quick succession this week, but before he was killed face-to-face, “civilian servant” Maz revealed that he was a retired police officer. He was not the only one in the castle, of course. The formidable Amanda is a former Met investigator.

What are the chances of there being two former coppers among the 22 contestants? This has led some viewers to wonder if the pair are working together. Explosion of rights or fluff fiction?

Hugo is Jade’s father or Amanda’s brother

“Psycho Bear” was the first traitor to fall – but before he could retreat, Attorney Hugo staunchly defended Jade at the round table. Was it parental protection? Both are very luxurious. He is 51 and PhD student Jade is 26, leading some viewers to wonder if he is her father.

Others recorded an exchange that suggested Hugo was aware of Amanda’s undisclosed police past. He told her: “You are the only one who judges people.” It’s possible that was a coincidental turn of phrase, but it may have indicated that the couple worked for CPS.

With six years between them, they could be siblings. This may explain why Amanda scoffed at suggestions of a relationship (“I’m a lesbian,” she said, while Hugo agreed, saying: “I’m not your type”) — and why he praised her for “playing a better game than me” before denying it.

Observant viewers pounced on crime novelist Harriet Tice’s observation as Rhys was overcome with emotion. “I’ve never seen you cry like that before,” she said, then quickly corrected herself. Some saw this as a mistake, suggesting that Reese could be her son or nephew.

There has been similar speculation about Harriet, 52, having a family connection to one of the other young men at the castle: gardener James, builder Adam, creative director Matthew, or account director Sam. Did lightning strike Tice?

Adam and Jack are brothers

When Adam received a roundtable vote for episode two, the camera cut straight to Jack to see his reaction. They are both Essex boys. What more do you need? Entire Internet conspiracies have been built on less.

Someone has an identical twin

Bear with us here. One niche theory doing the rounds is that there are identical twins in the series and that the producers are secretly swapping them in and out of the series. How does this work? To what end? And who could it be? Your guess is as good as ours, but it would be a plot twist to make the resident owl’s head spin.
