Gary’s been hiding things from Sarah again, are you surprised by how much she’s put up with in the past?
Sarah assumes that Gary’s heart is in the right place and maybe she overlooks things that she shouldn’t. I definitely wouldn’t be as reasonable in her shoes. I’d be like: ‘sorry? You had a baby with another person? Bye bye!’ But she thinks they’re a good team and she knows that he loves her and wants to be with her, so she’s a bit more forgiving than she should be.
Bethany’s onto Gary after she sees him changing from his builders clothes into a suit, how does Sarah react to Bethany’s suspicions?
Well Gary flatly denies it. Sarah tells Bethany she believes her and wonders why Gary is lying, so she decides to find out what is going on and follows him and sees him getting into a van with a woman.
Sarah tackles Gary and he confesses that he’s in debt to a loan shark, how does Sarah respond to his confession?
Sarah is most upset that he lied to her. People have money problems and can build up debts and she can understand that. She feels wretched for him that he’s lost everything – she isn’t with him for the money – she genuinely loves him.
Is Sarah shocked?
Sarah is so shocked. She had absolutely no idea what was going on. Gary very convincingly told her that the reason he had some money was that he got paid for a job in advance and I don’t think she had any reason to doubt him. She believed the days of him lying to her were over. There’s been a lot of financial pressure on them recently, but she trusted him.
Does she feel the trust is gone?
A relationship is very much built on trust and communication. Sarah desperately wants that from Gary and I can understand why he’s keeping this from her, but I think every time he holds back it knocks another hole in their relationship really. I don’t know how much more of this she can take. It remains to be seen whether they can get through this.
Do you think they’ll stay together?
It’s a question of whether the relationship can survive much longer when there’s such a lack of communication. She’s quite a tolerant partner, but she’s sick of the lies. In the past I would have said they could have got over this, but this time I’m not sure. At this point, although Sarah still loves him, she’s very doubtful whether they have a future together.
