Just as Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Taggie (Bella Maclean) finally confronted their feelings for each other, their path to happiness was quickly obliterated. Rivals Season 2, which dropped the first three episodes on May 15, picked up where Season 1 left off, only to jump ahead several weeks. (Warning: Spoilers for the first three episodes of Rivals Season 2.)
In the first episode of Season 2, Rupert came face-to-face with a bloody Cameron (Nafessa Williams) just as he walked away from Taggie at The Priory. Rupert then whisked Cameron off to an undisclosed coastal location to protect her from Tony (David Tennant), and they certainly didn’t hold back on the sexual escapades during their lengthy vacation. Meanwhile, Taggie was left confused and heartbroken over Rupert’s disappearance.
