When Gary introduced himself didn't he refer to being told that his father was 'that Buttershaw man' or something similar ? Was it actually said that it was Alan, and not his brother Ted ? Maybe they both had a fling with her.

I'm sure he did.
re caroline - she said this week she likes girls and always has, there's no way she's going to end up with a man
I have to say that Kate's 'ghost' (I know it's not her ghost but that's what I'm calling it) repeatedly popping up really annoys me. I could put up with it for one episode but when she popped up this week it did spoil it a bit for me a bit but thankfully it was only for one scene!
Other than that I'm still enjoying this cracking series.
I know the press aren't always as bothered about verifying their stories as they should be, but I can't believe that paper would have run the two-page spread on millionaire Gary's new-found Dad without at least contacting Alan for a quote, even if only to pad the story out a bit more.
Unless they were deliberately pitching it as a scandal and didn't want him to get wind of it first to prove it already untrue before it had a chance to make it into print, I don't think there's a way in the world that Alan wouldn't have known that Gary had talked to the press before that article was published.
I agree. The press would have wanted Alan's reaction to the news he had a unknown son.
The article is to be the trigger for Alan losing his rag with Gary over his antics but I would have thought he could have just exploded over something smaller.

Could be that Gary knows the owner of the paper/reporter and called in a favour. Or he is a major advertiser and they want to keep him sweet.
Love the way John never really finishes his sentences ...
I really like John as a tragi-comic character, now.
Initially - in the first series - I found him irksome and just wanted him to sling his hook for good.
Gradually, though, the subtlety of his character has come through; not an evil person, not even particularly bad, you realise that he does care about other people; he just doesn't have a clue about how his words and actions will affect them.
Another actor to add to the list of those who have been hugely impressive in these series. Remembering also, of course, to credit the writing which gives them such excellent material to work with.
Can't believe its the last one already tonight! This third series hasn't quite hit the heights of the first two for me but its still a highly enjoyable, quality drama. I wonder how many 'loose ends' will be tied up, (or not). Theoretically there's a lot to get through! Hope its a good one.
I'm going to record tonights show for two reasons.
One (and for this I apologise) but it clashes with CBB. Two....I never normally post on here whilst the show is on anyway because I dont like to miss anything on screen (which is rare for me as I normally like to post whilst a show is on). I find I like to focus 100% on the show and then read the thread later.
So, for that reason, I wont read this thread until tomorrow once I've caught up but I hope its a good one

Thanks for posting
I fear the question about the dress is a rhetorical question? ;-)

After last week's teaser and the interview with Nicola Walker I am really looking forward to tonight's finale

Now that is likely
