“It definitely wasn’t clear cut.” <\/p>
Would Ryan choose a life in Spain with Tommy Lee Royce and leave Catherine Cawood heartbroken once again? That was one of the central questions looming over Happy Valley<\/a> as we rattled towards the finale.<\/p>\n After busting out of court<\/a> and fleeing the scene like \u201cBradley F*****g Wiggins\u201d, Tommy was holed up in a safe house until the time arrived for him to swap our green and pleasant land for year-round sun and sangria. And he wanted Ryan to join him.<\/p>\n Late one night as the pair communicated via their games consoles, Tommy posed the question to his son, who he had formed a relationship of sorts with through their prison visits<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 but Ryan didn\u2019t have an answer for Tommy and told him he\u2019d think about it.<\/p>\n It was a decision that required some serious thought. He had an opportunity to build a robust bond with his dad, but following Tommy would mean turning his back on Catherine, his surrogate mum \u2013 not to mention the many risks attached to a life lived with Tommy.<\/p>\n What\u2019s a boy to do?<\/p> In tonight\u2019s (Sunday 5th February) episode, that question was answered. Tommy\u2019s Spanish adventure would be a solo enterprise.<\/p>\n
