Question about the ending


So when Carl saw Sally at the station with her toddler, who was the man meeting her and carrying her pushchair etc? Was it just some random, or was that showing that she didn't marry her fiance after all?

reply

It was the latter I believe because the man was definately with Sally and her child.

reply

It's a different guy because Im pretty sure she told her fiancée that she didn't want to date anymore (or something along those lines).

reply

Yeah I think so. I think he was happy that she had found happiness. Clearly finding the guy you were going to spend your life with has a potentially violent streak would not be the right person.

This sorta reminded me of Sliding Doors in a small way, how one moment in time can change your life.

It was definitely I different guy defo not a fitness freak lol

Shame they didnt show what job he was doing now and his son.

Definitely Sally with her child and new man. And of course she didn't marry the whingeing, violent control freak Ryan. She was well shut of him! "I haven't had anything to eat but 4 energy bars and I'm shaking!" So apparently incapable of making his own dinner. Wow. What a catch!

reply

He said it was her turn to make dinner which implied he could but didn't think he should because it wasn't his turn so he's just rude and can't be arsed to cook and would rather eat energy bars. I didn't like him at all and he looked and acted like a extra in the gym scenes in Queer as Folk lol.

I think that Carl and Sally should've been together in the end, that's the only thing that annoyed me about this wonderful show.

real human being and a real hero

I got the impression that Ryan was highly obsessive / routinous, like an autistic person. Didn't she say something like this in the sauna scene? Hence his obsession with fitness, the wedding being 'perfect' etc. So he didn't make dinner because it wasn't his turn, and he couldn't contemplate the idea of going against the routine and cooking so he had the energy bars instead.

Maybe I read too much into the Ryan character though!

I am ANYTHING but a pugnacious upstart

I think the point was that while he was the victim, he was such a loser that you could see that she should be bailing before going through with the wedding. Thought it was priceless that one of his reasons for taking her back was to avoid wasting the deposit on the wedding venue.
