Peter is now single. Carla is now single. Not sure what happened about her fling with the doctor, Alex, Michelle’s son – but that had to stop really, for Michelle’s sanity.
Peter and Carla are circling around each other – Peter more than Carla, but it feels as if there is a certain inevitability to it. How long the writers will draw it out for is unknown. There’ll be obstacles along the way, one of which will take the form of Nick, who I believe is returning, perhaps even in a different body, as it is rumoured that Nick will be played by a different actor.
Will Nick have forgiven Carla? Missed her? Is he coming back to claim her? Will there be a High-Noon situation with Peter striding out of the Bistro and Nick emerging from Gail’s – Gail in hot pursuit?
Recently Peter asked Carla for coffee. At first, she refused, but then she relented. What’s more, Peter, always a man with a cash shortage, paid the bill. As ever with Peter, he pushed his luck and asked Carla to have dinner with him. That offer, she turned down. Never a man to give up in pursuit of a woman, next time the two of them bumped into each other, Peter mimed eating a meal. Carla’s expression towards him was most definitely flirtatious. It was certainly not a head shake to indicate no chance.
So we wait…
