Anyway, in this week''s magazine there's an interview with Philip Lowrie, who plays Dennis Tanner. He reveals a couple of spoilers relating to Dennis' relationship with Rita and it does appear that there's romance, if not love, on the cards for the couple.
Philip says: "Actually, I'm off to film an intimate scene with Barbara Knox (Rita) later, which will foretell something that might happen in the future." And he goes on to say: "We did a scene where Rita is hoping Dennis will say he loves her, but he can't."
Intriguing, eh?
Also, Philip recalls his legendary former cast members and says there's a huge picture of Doris Speed (Annie Walker) outside his dressing room. He says: "Doris was my absolute favourite person and I miss her tremendously. But when I'm ready to go on set, there she is, beaming away at me - it perks me up no end!"
