BlaineHOST
The only storyline that didn't feel like of a piece, but if you squint hard enough, it kind of is.
BlaineHOST
It's Leslie Higgins attempting to track down who's buying up the shares or at least making everyone sell their shares.
DonovanHOST
I was genuinely surprised at this because in my head I was like, well, it makes sense that it's Rupert, but Anthony Head has passed away, unfortunately.
DonovanHOST
Yeah.
DonovanHOST
So I was genuinely surprised.
DonovanHOST
I was genuinely surprised.
BlaineHOST
I thought that him having the meeting in the cellar was pretty cheesy, but I was really okay with having more Leslie Higgins in those small doses.
DonovanHOST
Higgins, you know, he's having fun because he's never done any skullduggery before.
Craig McFarlandHOST
So I do think that there's going to be some level of guilt maybe continuing on even through future episodes as we move forward.
Craig McFarlandHOST
But after the credits, we go into Rebecca's office, and Higgins is explaining all the different possibilities for Gemma's injury, from only being out for a couple of weeks to possibly being out for a year.
Craig McFarlandHOST
Zelda is being negative and is saying that, uh, this is it, this is going to be the reason that they're not gonna get promoted.
Craig McFarlandHOST
She's just sort of being the cynic, uh, in the corner during all of this.
Craig McFarlandHOST
She's around Rebecca's office seemingly all the time.
Craig McFarlandHOST
It seems like they're there together all the time.
Craig McFarlandHOST
And so of course with the kind of film noir of it all that we're gonna get into later with Higgins, I just wonder if there's something more negative going on here.
Zoey Zara McFarlandGUEST
Have you ever had that experience in life where, like, somebody you love so much, be it, like, a friend or a family member, like, starts hanging around with somebody new, and you just get that vibe that, like, something's off-
RyanHOST
worst for last because Roy and Danny's agent, Derek, is trying to manipulate Richmond into giving his clients bigger contracts.
RyanHOST
This opens up a storyline of Rebecca Higgins and Zelda, who is now going to be added as sort of more of a permanent fixture to the team, helps shut down his scheme.
RyanHOST
And Rebecca makes, you know, the further questionable decision to bring Zelda into in officially as a special advisor, you know, just kind of stacking on to the pile of bad decisions that Rebecca has made lately.
RyanHOST
Yeah,
AdamHOST
This was an interesting scene because there was parts of this that I really liked.
AdamHOST
I liked that Zelda was able to flex her wealthy muscles and get the information that Rebecca was looking for in who was trying to recruit Danny Rojas.
AdamHOST
And also, I love that Higgins, Leslie Higgins, was friendly via jazz with, you know...
AdamHOST
the other opposing team that was trying to, to court him.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
His loyalty to Ted Lasso is really amazing.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
Um, the number two for Hannah Waddington is, uh, played by Jeremy Swift, who's Leslie Higgins.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
Leslie, uh, who basically just r- he's the person who day-to-day has to run everything.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
And he's wonderful.
6 MINS LATER
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
But is it possible, and is it, it within the realm of reason within this universe here, this sort of progressive strand of things? Yeah, sure.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
And it's fun, and it's funny.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
And the Diamond Dogs are the boys, Ted Lasso, Assistant Coach Beard, uh, Assistant Coach Nathan Shelley, eventually Roy Kent, uh, Leslie Higgins, and they will get together and they'll talk about their relationship woes.
Jesse Blaze SnyderHOST
And there's a great [laughs] there's a great moment with Roy when Roy finally, 'cause he's been resisting, he's the soccer player, the old statesman.
TomHOST
Hmm.
JulianHOST
Um, let's talk Higgins and his wife, who seem to be having a lovely time.
JulianHOST
Tom- Do you think seasickness glasses are real?
TomHOST
[laughs] No, but they're real funny lookin'.
JulianHOST
These, they look exactly like the ones-
TomHOST
[laughs]
JulianHOST
... that Leslie Higgins is wearing.
JulianHOST
Incredible.
Ryan D AkinolaHOST
talk about official in the show or official like in the show oh yeah you know it was because because the key at the very end she was all like oh it already sponsored so many likes or views or whatever and everything okay she sends it at the very end yeah yeah when when she's getting excited when she's showing uh rebecca
LexHOST
so obviously she's she's kind of feeling the pressure of like yeah we need to continue to generate hype um Rebecca and Leslie Higgins, they still think that this is kind of like a battle from behind.
LexHOST
It's very challenging, especially in the women's sport.
LexHOST
But there's obviously a strong message and journey here as far as how you can get the support of the people and rally them together.
Justin HamiltonHOST
There's been kind of no real reason given for it.
Justin HamiltonHOST
You know, like before we even get into some of the main characters, like, you know, Leslie Higgins is such a great character.
Justin HamiltonHOST
Wonderful.
Justin HamiltonHOST
And Leslie was, especially over that first season, you know you there was there were reveals about him you you had an idea of who he was and slowly but surely they just revealed more and more of that character and and he was uh like a three-dimensional character and someone that you uh you know as all good storytelling does it sets up one idea of somebody and then it reveals that they contain multitudes.
Brit Madrid MogensonHOST
My God.
Brit Madrid MogensonHOST
Okay, next up we have the absolute heart of AFC Richmond, Leslie Higgins, you guys.
Brit Madrid MogensonHOST
At first he seems like the quiet, slightly awkward director of football operations who's always hovering in the background trying to keep the peace, but don't let that nervous energy fool you because Higgins ends up being one of the wisest, kindest characters on the entire show.
Brit Madrid MogensonHOST
Right away, I'm gonna give him a Virgo rising.
JulianHOST
That's fair.
JulianHOST
Leslie Higgins and his wife are doing fabulous.
JulianHOST
Always great.
JulianHOST
We don't know what Barbara's situation is.
