Audrey lost her Alf and really didn't want anyone else. She wasn't above a flirt now and then but just didn't want another relationship, it seemed. So when Fred Elliott asked her to marry him (like he does everyone else), she turned him down. She loved him, but just as a good friend, and she knew his history with serial proposing. And she admitted, she thought she could do better. Audrey always was shallow. Now she has to face it herself and the regret and shame was etched on her face. I always felt that of all the women Fred proposed to since Audrey, she was really the one he'd have wanted to marry and if she'd changed her mind, he'd have jumped at the chance.
Except it was too little, too late. With Fred leaving her life, moving away with a new wife, Audrey realizes that she's losing a very good thing. I wonder, though, if she only started feeling this way because he's the one that's getting away. Finally, on tonight's show, she admitted her feelings to Fred. Now he's in a tizzy. Why tell him now that he's with someone else? Why wait all this time? If you say that you didn't know how you felt until you were going to lose it, did you really feel it or were you taking it for granted and only want it because you can't have it?
She's really put poor old Fred on the spot now. Does she really want him? What's he going to do? He is an honourable man. He's promised to marry Bev and he does care for her but here's the woman who's been in his heart for a long time saying she loves him and wishes it were she that was marrying him. Imagine the guilt he must feel. The confusion! The stress! Does he dump a woman he genuinely cares for? Is Audrey only wanting him because she can't have him and will go off him later if he does choose her?
Sue Nicholls is an extraordinary actress, highly underrated and stories like this prove how good she really is. This time next week, we'll know the outcome. I already know but I'm not saying. If there are comments, there may be spoilers. You were warned.
