Why is Ferdy dead?


How did Ferdy die?
How did Egg become a novelist? He was running a cafe when we last saw him.
Why are Egg and Milly together when they split up in the last episode?
This raised more questions than it answered.

Ferdy's death wasn't explained, but other threads have speculated that it might have been a result of AIDS.

As for Egg's literary success, don't forget he did try to be an author and football writer in early episodes. It wasn't merely out of the blue.

Regarding Egg and Milly staying together, it is possible that their coupledom survived Milly's infidelity. But maybe it is just lazy scripting, giving an easy excuse to include them in the reunion and create a plotline about a baby.

I must admit I'd completely forgotten about Egg's early literary ambitions.
The other strands do suggest lazy scripting though. Although Amy Jenkins created 'This Life' (and wrote this special) most of the best episodes were in fact written by Richard Zajdlic and others.

Because the guy who played Ferdy didn't want to come back? Can't really blame him, to be honest...

Or maybe he was washing his hair, which probably takes a while...

Motorcycle accident?

Egg worked in a cafe.
