Sweet lad, obviously fixated with Kelly, he was well out his depth if he thought he'd get anywhere with her, unless he had 'H' to give her.

Thank god Harvey told him the truth in the end. That was a really ''finally! dumbass!'' moment for me.

Harvey was a crap mate to Gadget. All he ever did was belittle Gadget. Harvey would no doubt say that he was only pissing about, but that couldn't have had a good effect on Gadget's already low self-esteem.

Also, it was a bit rich of Harvey to get all sanctimonious about heroin when he himself is a drug dealer and user. Sure, that wasn't his particular poison but he overreacted.

I'm glad that they didn't get together, that would have been too 'Hollywood' maybe, too clean and sappy. Unrequited love happens and if one person just can't like the other in that way then that's just how it has to be.

OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...

He probably saw Shaun basically giving the length to a prime Angelina Jolie and thought "in this world, the ugly cnuts can win."
