The argument came after Paddy had failed to turn up to go with Marlon for a drive in his new accessible car. This was a huge deal for Marlon, as we know that he was terrified about driving a car again for the first time since his stroke. His first attempt hadn't gone well so his confidence was rock bottom. Paddy's offer to go with him gave him some hope that with his friend's reassuring, kind presence he would be able to start to relax behind the wheel.

As the hours went by, Marlon's worries about the impending driving session started to be replaced by worries about what could have happened to Paddy. It wasn't that long ago that Paddy went missing for an extended period after he became seriously depressed. After his return to the village his depression eventually led him to seriously plan to take his own life, and Marlon was the one who found him and stopped him from going through with it. So with Paddy hours late and not answering his phone, Marlon and Rhona (Zoe Henry) began to fear the worst. Meanwhile, we saw that Paddy had been on his way back to the village when he spotted Mary (Louise Jameson) out in the countryside. She tried to hide from him and the reason soon became clear – she'd told Rhona she was on a date, but she'd made it up. Unable to cope with the humiliation of what Faye (Jane Gurnett) had done to her, she'd been sitting in her car crying. Paddy supported Mary (Picture: ITV) Paddy listened as Mary told him how the relationship she'd had with Faye finall){kind=link}
