WILL TYRONE ACCEPT FIZ’S LIFELINE? Tyrone takes painkillers while Kirsty makes him swear not to see Fiz anymore. Alone a tearful Tyrone contemplates his bottle of pills until Ruby’s crying brings him out of his trance. Tommy’s surprised when Tyrone calls him and asks his help. Explaining that he’s reached the end of his tether, Tyrone begs Tommy to drive him to the coach station so that he and Ruby can flee before Kirsty returns from work. Tommy tries to dissuade Tyrone from leaving, but Tyrone insists it’s the only way he can keep Ruby. At the station Tommy bids Tyrone an emotional farewell. But when Fiz hears of Tyrone’s plan she insists Tommy drive her to the station as after visiting Citizens Advice she’s found a solution. As an oblivious Kirsty heads to the Rovers for an after work drink, Fiz and Tommy dash to the station. Stopping the coach they persuade Tyrone to get off as Fiz explains that the best way to keep Ruby is to marry Kirsty as he will get parental responsibility of Ruby, giving him a father’s rights. He can then fight Kirsty for custody. She warns him that absconding will get him into big trouble and hers is a better long-term solution. Will Tyrone agree to return home or is Kirsty about to arrive back at No.9 to discover Tyrone has done a runner with Ruby?

So I suppose the 'nice' Owen is only around for Anna's sake. He's such a creep.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is where Jason makes his move on Stella so I'll be needing my dramamine.
LOL!Anonymous - I'm thinking a lot of people will be needing the dramamine when that happens. Agree Owen is still a creep at heart, no matter how much he pretends otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a good idea for Tyrone to escape with Ruby. It will leave Kirsty with some explaining to do. The whole happy families facade she was careful to construct will be gone. She will unhinge, likely taking it out on Fiz. Cops will take Kirsty away and Tyrone and Ruby can return. Tyrone marrying her only prolongs the plot. I am guessing Kirsty will be one of the people killed in the Rovers fire that Collinson has promised for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe Tyrone/Kirsty plotline is absurd. There should be no question of Tyrone considering marriage to such an abusive and dangerous woman.
ReplyDeleteThe legal advice of obtaining a prohibited steps order is clearly the way forward. Combined with a paternity test to confirm Tyrone is the baby's Dad - Tyrone must be all but covered in samples of Ruby's DNA - Tyrone has an unassailable case against any attempt by Kirsty to claim sole custody.
As I say, absurd and unrealistic to the nth degree. I can't be the only one that finds the writers' tendency to ignore basic, practical reality deeply annoying sometimes.
