True Confessions
Sep 28, 2004

The gang have all gathered at the local ice rink to witness Robbie (Chris Gascoyne) popping the big question to Paula (Liz White). Shocked and thrilled Paula immediately says yes but her excitement is not shared by all. Mel (Kaye Wragg), Gary's (Paul Nicholls) long-term girlfriend is left wondering why despite being together for several years, Gary still hasn't proposed to her. The lads head off for a night on the town and after a few beers Robbie seems to put all thoughts of his recent engagement behind him. Kelvin (Ben Miles), Gary's best-friend and married father of two, is also keen, as usual, to check out the local talent. Shortly afterwards the lads decide to head home with a group of local girls. Gary is stunned when he realises their intentions and is left alone with Christine (Jessica Radcliffe). Gary has never been unfaithful to long-term girlfriend Mel. Despite having no intention to start now, Christine's honesty and frankness catches him off guard and he becomes caught up

Paula's keen to help Gary get back on his feet after his break-up with Mel, so sets him up with old school friend Sonya. However, Gary cannot be swayed by the body beautiful, and resists the opportunity to jump into bed with Sonya. He's determined to stay celibate until he finds the girl of his dreams. But a night on the town, with Kelvin, shows him that finding a woman with similar aspirations could prove difficult.

It's the christening of Floyd and Chantelle's baby, and Gary, caught up in the moment, decides he'd like to be a parent. However, Paula's suggestion of them having a child together with a little help from a turkey baster isn't quite how he envisaged fathering his firstborn. Floyd's finding parenthood increasingly difficult to cope with. Chantelle seems so caught up in the throws of motherhood that he feels like he no longer exists. To make matters worse, while Chantelle's being showered with praise, Floyd hasn't had any recognition for his role or the fact he's just been promoted at work. He's desperate to take a more active role in his son's life and revive his relationship with Chantelle. He insists on attending a mother and baby class, much to Chantelle and the other mums' annoyance. Floyd's sense of exclusion and isolation increases and he finally explodes, laying into a roudy young lad in the bar where he works. He loses his job. Feeling ashamed and in desperate need of a friend,

Paula has never felt anything but sisterly love for Gary; that is until she offers to give him a massage! As he stretches out on the floor, half naked, she realises that her feelings have changed. The realisation takes Paula by surprise and she tries to fathom out how to approach the subject with Gary. Meanwhile, the lads have noticed that Harold, the sports club manager, has had a distinct spring in his step of late. They decide it must be down to his new admirer, Mrs Hopewell, who has been frequenting the sports club of late with her friends from the pensioner's club. It's apparent that Harold is also attracted to Mrs Hopewell. However, when she finally plucks up the courage to tell him how she feels and offers herself up to him, Harold freezes. He's petrified! Gary, who's been doing some decorating at the sports centre, overhears the conversation. He's determined to get them together and enlists the help of Paula. However, their plan backfires when Harold and Mrs Hopewell realise th

Whilst Paula is glowing in the early stages of her new found relationship with Tony, Gary's feeling very glum as he fears he's missed his chance with her.

Kelvin soon gets chatting to Rich, another guy who's been enjoying the show. After a few more drinks Rich persuades Kelvin to go back to his to watch some porn and have a night cap.
