“I remembered you said you liked solitaire diamonds so I thought ‘I know, I’ll get her a cluster of solitaires”
NAME: Heather
EPISODE: Diamonds are for Heather (series 2)
For a man who eats on the move with a mobile phone in one hand and pot noodle in the other, an off the peg next-of-kin is right up Delboys alley.
Having met following a spell binding, not to mention, pub clearing rendition of Old Shep by Enrique, the Nags Heads resident Cockney Spanish singing sensation, it doesn’t take long for Del to develop feelings for his latest conquest, Heather, and with his son in tow Delboy finally sees himself as part of a real family.
True to form it’s not plain sailing for loves young dream. Heathers husband Vic gets in touch after spending 2 years in a dole queue and the fact that for at least 3 weeks every year he will have a full time income (as a department store Father Christmas) turns Heathers head making her realise she realises she still has feelings for him, causing her to finish with Del over a plate of Uncle Bens.
And to think he’d shelled out all that money on a ‘Del & Heather’ window sticker for the van.
BEST LINE: “I feel for you the way you feel for Rodney” Heather uses the wrong analogy when trying to let Del knows how she feels “And I thought you like me” comes the priceless reply.
