He told her: “I said fake news in the words of the 45th president. Cathy and Brian are not to marry. I think you better come inside.”
Inside he raged at her for cheating on him: “I shan’t dawdle or dally, I know about Jim Fizz. Never mind the whys or wherefores. In our local public house, what were you thinking?
“You’d have had us moving to Cornwall and setting up shop together, quite literally.
“And all that time you’d have been withholding the truth from me. I just don’t think you love me.
“Cornwall was always my dream. The palm trees, the straw boater, the fudge.”
The pair rowed over their relationship problems with Brian raging at Cathy – but fans just want her to be free of him and for the storyline to end.
One wrote: “I feel so sorry for Cathy! She needs to get rid of Brian because their relationship just isn’t working.”
A second said: “I’m sorry, but Cathy is completely trapped in this relationship with Brian.”
Another added: “Right, let’s face it, the storyline with Cathy and Brian needs to end. Like, right now.”
