How does Tyrone feel about Alina’s pregnancy?
Well he certainly didn’t see it coming and it did come as a huge shock. Tyrone saw Alina as an exciting new life and a way out of the rut he was in, but she’s now pregnant, so he wonders if he’s swapped one life for the same life. He’s trying to play the supportive partner and he is happy now he’s getting used to the idea but it certainly isn’t what he envisaged. He’s a good Dad and I’m sure he’s going to be thrilled starting a family with Alina, but also he knows what it takes and maybe that’s part of the reason that he’s thinking – wow, it’s not this exciting new motorbike-riding lifestyle that I’m going to be living after all.
He’s obviously moved on from Fiz but this week we see Fiz moving on herself and going on a date, how does Tyrone feel about that?
He doesn’t take it well that Fiz is moving on – the green-eyed monster is there – and he makes a drunken fool of himself! They’re in the bistro and Tyrone is on a date with Alina too but he can’t concentrate for watching Fiz and Phil. It gets to him, he’s not really sure why, but he can’t help himself from making some snide comments.
Why do you think he’s so bothered?
He thought he’d seen this exciting new life and now that Alina is pregnant it’s not what he imagined. Fiz is moving on and it’s a real eye-opener for him. He thinks that Fiz is just sat at home crying and then when he realises that she’s not he gets very jealous and a bit bitter about it. He takes a swing at Phill and misses and makes a drunken fool of himself.
Does Tyrone really know what he wants?
He’s feeling a bit lost at the moment. He’s got a lot going on – there are lots of other people that are unhappy in his life – his children, Fiz and he’s got some issues with Alina. Tyrone is a people pleaser and right now he’s not pleasing anybody and that’s hard for him.
Tyrone has always been a viewers favourite, how does it feel to be playing the villain for once?
I don’t think he’s up there with the bad guys just yet, but for sure he’s let people down. There was never an intention to hurt people. He was a bit bored and plodding through life and he just found himself in this situation where he was presented with what he thought was going to be a new exciting life and he ran with it.
Would you like to see Tyrone and Fiz back together?
Personally, as an actor, or course I would love that, we’ve worked together for a long time and I love working with Jennie McAlpine who plays Fiz. She’s a joy. But I don’t know what will happen. Whether they can reconcile their differences on screen, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m sure that will be a long way away even if they do.
