Kirk was extremely touching in carrying out his role of best man. 'It's the greatest offer ever bestowed on me,' he said, bubbling with emotion. He took his role most seriously, persistently checking on Tyrone's health and allowing him just one pint in The Rovers, batting away any offers of whisky for the groom. Tyrone and Kirk both cut a dash in their suits and gold ties - very nice touch. Kirsty, looking absolutely stunning, tells people, rather ominously, that this wedding day will be a day no-one will forget. As Kirsty reveals what she knows about Fiz and Tyrone, she say to Tyrone, 'You've hurt me more than I thought anyone could.' Our sympathy darts from one to the other in this scene of Fiz, Tyrone and Kirsty and throughout subsequent scenes - all this so excellently acted.
On leaving the church, Kirsty is in Brian's car with Julie while she decides what to do. Brian chooses this moment to show his concern for the environment, as he says they can't keep driving round like this. Maybe the winner of 2013's most inappropriate remark so far.
Back with Tyrone, who is at home, he challenges Kevin, who in fairness is doing his best. Tyrone points out that he doesn't wish to be lectured by Kevin on affairs. Indeed Tyrone. Then, as Tyrone points out, it's deja vu - 'I lose a partner and a baby and you're stood here with me again.' Then in walks Kirsty. who utters the chilling words, 'Gone? Oh no. I've not finished with you - not by a long chalk.'
Fancy an olive anyone? Brilliant sabotage by Lewis - so simple yet so effective - just add two noughts. Later, Gail's attempts at seduction failed but she believes this is because the circumstances were not sufficiently romantic for their first time, at least that was the line Lewis spun and when you want to believe someone, it's easy to do so. 'I want to spoil you,' he declares, a phrase which given what we know, carries another meaning. 'Can I ask you to wait?' Then in the second episode Lewis revives the Tuscany plan, having told Gail that she worries about her children too much and anyway if she moves to Italy she'll be nearer to Sarah who's in Milan. Shrewdly, he then tells Gail to forget everything he said which with the knowledge of a little elementary psychology will make her desperate to take up his offer. Hold tight Gail because you are going to fall from a massive height.
So, are we ready for the budding romance? Tracy and Rob, of course.. Steve only seemed to entice Rob by describing the mother of his child as a liar, a manipulator, vindictive, spiteful and cruel. Rob asks why Steve married her and Steve has to admit to temporary insanity. Maybe each has met their match here. Could be entertaining!
