Yes. He was in the show before Molly. He ran a cake shop and had a rivalry with Fred Elliot, if I remember correctly.
Thanks - I think I remember... was he played by a well-known actor, or am I imagining it? Someone who usually played comedy roles... perhaps I'm just inventing all this.
It's a TV show, it's not meant to be real. If it was meant to be like real life we would have an entire episode with Tyrone and Molly sitting on the sofa watching TV!

There is meant to be elements of realism in soap operas
If they want viewers to believe in these characters then they should leave them true to form... Diggory would have gone out of his way to be at Mollys bedside.... Just not true to character!!
I'm not sure what you expect though. The actor is probably working somewhere else, not sat by the phone waiting for his annual one episode return.
I'm sure he isn't - in which case, I'd expect them to come up with another excuse for Molly and Tyrone to be driving round the countryside...or at worst have them on the way to the airport to visit Diggory in some far-away country, where he wouldn't be able to come over from easily.
What with Molly and Tyrone on their way to visit him when they crashed??
He was apparently at a confectioner's convention, which is the reason why Tyrone and |Molly stopped off for lunch and then decided to go for a drive to give him time to get back.
Also explains why there was no answer at his house when Kevin knocked. I only know this from watching repeats, as I was wondering the same thing first time around

How convenient.

He had a stroke or heart attack and couldnt make it. Which just so happened to occur shortly before the wedding
