He should have taken a break on a long train trip to sort out of life/feelings/grief etc, telling Cathy that he trusts her to look after his home and the business with Anna. When he cones back they can decide their future together. It would give Melanie Hill a chance as Cathy to come into her own a bit, mixing in with the other characters. Wasted opportunity.

I think they would prefer that they just go away and never come back. Works for me sometimes, but certainly not with the latest crop of actors who are leaving.
