NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island where the return of our Casa Amor boys continues! And so far it’s been a bit more `Twist and Shout´ than `Stick or Twist
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island where the return of our Casa Amor boys continues! And so far it’s been a bit more `Twist and Shout´ than `Stick or Twist´.
NARRATOR: Dana coupled up with kindred-spirit, Gabi, and Arlo coupled up with not-so-perfect Pete!
NARRATOR: Leaving Eddie to fend for himself while Suresh rocked the boat with all new luscious Lulu!
NARRATOR: Let’s see if things get a bit more sticky as we return to find out {0}’s decision!
NARRATOR: Will she stick with Alfie or have the new boys turned her head enough for a full on twist?
All eyes are on you as you weigh up your stick or twist decision in pin-drop silence.
Will you stick with Alfie? Or make a fresh start with one of the new boys?
KAT_SERIOUS: Argh! I can’t take it anymore!!!
ARLO_HAPPY: Yeah, {0}! What will it be?
DANA_IDLE: Alright, alright! Let the girl think, will you?
You take a deep breath, considering your options, looking over Nicolas and Johnny.
DANA_HAPPY: Alright, that’s enough time. Out with it! You stickin’ or twistin’?
Stick with Alfie!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m sticking with Alfie!
PLAYER_IDLE: I couldn’t think of a better friend to have by my side in the villa.
PLAYER_HAPPY: We’ve already been through thick and thin together.
PLAYER_HAPPY: So, I don’t want to see him go. Not yet.
PLAYER_HAPPY: We’ve been through so many ups and downs.
PLAYER_IDLE: But I really need to see where this journey takes us. I’m not ready to give up on us yet.
PLAYER_IDLE: I just hope he feels the same way.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Good for you, {0}, at least some of us know something about loyalty.
DANA_ANGRY: Eddie come on, don’t be like that.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Whatever Dana, I don’t have to listen to your advice anymore, remember?
GABI_IDLE: Just ignore him, babe.
GABI_HAPPY: Clearly he can’t stand to see you actually happy for once!
EDDIE_ANGRY: As if! What do you know? You just got here!
DANA_IDLE: Would you quit it!
Twist with a new boy!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m going to TWIST!
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Yes! Get IN!
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I knew it!
Suresh moves even closer to Lulu, trying his best not to react.
You catch a twinge of surprise and jealousy from Dana, who is quick to hide it from Gabi.
PLAYER_IDLE: Alfie´s been a good friend to me.
PLAYER_IDLE: But I’m here to find something more than friendship. And I need to give that a chance.
PLAYER_IDLE: Me and Alfie have been through so many ups and downs.
PLAYER_IDLE: But for now, I think what I need is a fresh start in here. Something new.
Nicolas slaps Johnny hard on the back with glee. Johnny winces and rubs his tender skin.
JOHNNY_IDLE: You made a wise choice, {0}.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Yeah, just one more <i>wise</i> choice to go… if you know what I mean.
Nicolas gestures to himself with a wink.
JOHNNY_IDLE: I’m sure {0} can make the decision for herself, Nicolas.
You hear a ping from your phone.
ARLO_SURPRISED: {0}, you’ve got a text! Read it out!
LITEXT: {0}, it is now up to you to couple up with a ‘new boy’. Who will it be, Johnny or Nicolas?
LITEXT: Whoever isn’t chosen will be dumped from the villa! {0}{1}’sChoice {2}NowThatsWhatICallATwist
You look up at the new boys.
Nicolas puffs out his chest, tensing his arms. Johnny holds your eye contact.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: So, who's it gonna be?
Nicolas
PLAYER_HAPPY: I choose… Nicolas.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Pumped to get to know you more, {0}.
Nicolas places a hand on Johnny’s shoulder.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: No hard feelings, pal. Don't take it personally.
JOHNNY_SAD: No, that’s okay. I guess you’re right.
Nicolas saunters over to you and gives you a bear hug.
He lifts you in the air and spins you around, before kissing you on the cheek.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: You made a <i>wise</i> choice. I’m a gift that keeps on giving…
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I certainly hope so.
Johnny
PLAYER_HAPPY: I choose… Johnny.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: What? Him?
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: What? Me? Really?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Well, yeah!
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Wow. Can’t believe it.
Johnny strolls over to you, he takes your hand and kisses you softly on the cheek.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I must be one of the luckiest guys in the world then.
KAT_FLIRTY: Don’t you forget it!
You steady your nerves as Alfie approaches the villa once again.
DANA_SURPRISED: Look! Alfie’s coming!
Alfie strides into the villa! He looks confident, relaxed and self-assured. And he’s alone!
He sees you stood alone as well, but he remains calm and collected.
Some Islanders sigh with relief. Kat and Arlo huff at the missed opportunity for drama.
DANA_HAPPY: Yes, girl!
Suresh rolls his eyes.
Alfie sees you standing in your new couple.
Gasps all around from the other Islanders!
Kat and Arlo delight in the drama. But Alfie remains calm and at ease.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Look Alfie, about everything before Casa Amor…
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Alfie, you know I had to…
Before you can finish your sentence a collective gasp from the Islanders interrupts you.
Meera walks out and joins Alfie, taking his hand!
KAT_SURPRISED: You are JOKING!
ARLO_HAPPY: Yaaaaas… my girl is back!
DANA_HAPPY: No way! And you’re looking HOT, Meera!
GABI_FLIRTY: You’re not wrong there.
Meera glides over with Alfie! She’s bold, breathtaking and brimming with confidence.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What’s going on? I thought…
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I was as confused as you are, trust me.
ALFIE_IDLE: But, after Meera left last time I never expected to see her again.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Me neither.
ALFIE_IDLE: Especially not in a sunny Mediterranean gaff, you know!
ALFIE_IDLE: And when I walked into Casa Amor and saw her sitting there…
MEERA_HAPPY: The look on your face, Alf.
ALFIE_HAPPY: I just got that feeling, like I’d been given a second chance or something.
ALFIE_HAPPY: And then the more time we spent together the more it just felt right.
ALFIE_IDLE: I hope you don't mind me saying this, Meera, but it was like meeting a whole new you.
MEERA_FLIRTY: A new Meera, huh? What was wrong with the old Meera?
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Don’t get me wrong I loved the old Meera…
ALFIE_HAPPY: But this new Meera, she’s fiery and hilarious! She literally has me in non-stop stitches.
MEERA_HAPPY: Well that’s not hard, you find everything hilarious.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Nah, but you know what I mean!
ALFIE_HAPPY: Like the other night when you stacked everything in the fridge on Eddie while he was sleeping.
EDDIE_SURPRISED: You did what?
DANA_HAPPY: Alright you big sop, we get it! Now let the lady speak!
MEERA_HAPPY: Look, I’m just happy to be back.
MEERA_SERIOUS: I thought it was over, but clearly the universe had other plans for us.
MEERA_HAPPY: Getting to know Alfie has been... amazing.
ALFIE_HAPPY: I certainly hope so…
MEERA_HAPPY: Cheeky! I hope that’s okay with you lot? Because either way, I’m not going anywhere.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Someone is super confident now!
DANA_HAPPY: Yes, ma'am! Whatever you say.
KAT_HAPPY: Welcome back, Super Meera!
ARLO_HAPPY: Missed you gurl! No matter who you are!
Another awkward silence, as the Islanders turn to you.
MEERA_HAPPY: You don’t have a problem with New Meera sticking around, do you {0}?
Yeah, I do
PLAYER_ANGRY: I think I do have a problem.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Where has this come from? This sudden change in personality?
MEERA_HAPPY: Guess coming in here taught me a lot about myself… and what I want.
MEERA_FLIRTY: And then I found it.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Uhuh. Sure.
Not at all!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Glad to have you back!
PLAYER_IDLE: The longer the better!
MEERA_HAPPY: Good! Wouldn’t want to get off on the wrong foot. Again.
You won’t last long anyway
PLAYER_FLIRTY: If last time is anything to go by, you’ll be gone tomorrow!
MEERA_SERIOUS: I wouldn’t be so sure.
MEERA_HAPPY: A lot can change in a few days in the villa.
MEERA_FLIRTY: Maybe it isn’t my time here that you should be worried about.
ARLO_FLIRTY: Wow, Meera, did you take some kind of badass course while you were away?
DANA_HAPPY: Where do I sign up?
You receive a text, and read it out.
LITEXT: {0}, as Alfie has recoupled with Meera, you are now single. Please now choose whether to recouple with Johnny or Nicolas.
LITEXT: Whoever isn’t chosen will be dumped from the villa! {0}{1}’sChoice {2}NowThatsWhatICallATwist
You look up at the new boys.
Nicolas puffs out his chest, tensing his arms. Johnny holds your eye contact.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: So, who's it gonna be?
Nicolas
PLAYER_HAPPY: I choose… Nicolas.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Pumped to get to know you more, {0}.
Nicolas places a hand on Johnny’s shoulder.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: No hard feelings, pal. Don't take it personally.
JOHNNY_SAD: No, that’s okay. I guess you’re right.
Nicolas saunters over to you and gives you a bear hug.
He lifts you in the air and spins you around, before kissing you on the cheek.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: You made a <i>wise</i> choice. I’m a gift that keeps on giving…
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I certainly hope so.
Johnny
PLAYER_HAPPY: I choose… Johnny.
NICOLAS_SURPRISED: What? Him?
JOHNNY_SURPRISED: What? Me? Really?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Well, yeah!
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Wow. Can’t believe it.
Johnny strolls over to you, he takes your hand and kisses you softly on the cheek.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I must be one of the luckiest guys in the world then.
KAT_FLIRTY: Don’t you forget it!
ARLO_HAPPY: Well, I’m glad that’s all over and done with anyway.
ARLO_HAPPY: Now we can all move on…
KAT_ANGRY: Erm hello?! I still need to pick!
ARLO_HAPPY: Oh right, sorry, Kat!
KAT_SERIOUS: Rude! Right, these last few days have been the toughest I’ve had in the villa.
KAT_IDLE: And though some have tried to tempt me away and lead me off the path…
PETE_HAPPY: Like who?
KAT_SERIOUS: Shhh! This is my bit!
KAT_SERIOUS: We all know that before Casa a load of drama kicked off.
KAT_EMBARRASSED: Me and Finn both kissed people we shouldn't have.
KAT_ANGRY: I know that Finn regrets kissing Arlo.
ARLO_SURPRISED: You think?
KAT_SERIOUS: I know!
KAT_IDLE: But you live and learn, and I´ve learnt a lot here.
KAT_IDLE: I know that there is only one fella in here for me.
KAT_HAPPY: So, I’m sticking with my Finn!
The firepit remains silent. Kat looks around for a reaction.
KAT_ANGRY: Why is no one gasping?
DANA_HAPPY: You have to be surprised to gasp.
PLAYER_HAPPY: We all knew you were sticking with Finn.
Kat rolls her eyes. Suddenly footsteps echo from the villa entrance.
It’s Finn… and he’s alone too!
Kat jumps up and down with excitement and runs into Finn’s arms.
KAT_HAPPY: Aw babe, I missed you so much!
KAT_SERIOUS: Wait… some random girl ain’t about to come out are they?
FINN_HAPPY: No way, it’s just you and me.
Kat squeezes Finn tight, he waves to the others.
ARLO_IDLE: Well, I guess now that’s it! Phew!
EDDIE_ANGRY: Not quite, I’ve got a text.
LITEXT: Eddie and Johnny,<br>As you both remain single after the recoupling, your time in the Love Island villa has come to an end.
LITEXT: Please pack your things and say your goodbyes. {0}DoubleDump {1}EndOfTheRoad
JOHNNY_SAD: I didn’t think it would end so soon…
JOHNNY_HAPPY: But I’m just glad I got a chance to meet you guys.
LITEXT: Eddie and Nicolas,<br>as you both remain single after the recoupling, your time in the Love Island villa has come to an end.
LITEXT: Please pack your things and say your goodbyes. {0}DoubleDump {1}EndOfTheRoad
NICOLAS_IDLE: Can’t lie I think you ladies will live to regret not picking me.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: But you all know where to find me when you’re home.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Promise I won’t hold a grudge.
EDDIE_ANGRY: This is actually a joke, I don’t deserve this.
FINN_SAD: Sorry, guys.
ALFIE_SAD: Wish it didn’t have to go down like that.
The Islanders approach the dumped boys, embracing each of them.
DANA_SAD: I am sorry, Eddie, I had to do what’s right for me, I never wanted to hurt you.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Nothing new there then! Just Dana looking out for herself.
DANA_SURPRISED: What’s that supposed to mean?
EDDIE_ANGRY: After everything I’ve done for you in here, you do me like this. Unbelievable!
In the midst of the drama you spot tense eye contact between Suresh and Gabi.
You catch Suresh’s eye and he pretends to focus on Eddie’s hissy fit.
ALFIE_IDLE: Come on, mate, let’s leave on a good note, yeah?
EDDIE_ANGRY: Yeah that’s easy for you to say, isn’t it?
EDDIE_ANGRY: You all go about doing what you want, not caring who it affects.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Guess nice guys really do come last!
EDDIE_ANGRY: Good luck with her, Gabi, you’ll need it.
DANA_ANGRY: Hey! Not okay.
FINN_SERIOUS: Cool it, Eddie. You need to take a deep breath. Come on, we will help you pack.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Yeah, Eddie! Chill! Save all this charm for the air hostesses on the way home!
PETE_IDLE: Come on guys, let’s give the girls some space. Let things settle a bit.
The guys group together and lead the unlucky boys inside.
GABI_EMBARRASSED: Well that went well…
DANA_IDLE: Don’t let him get to you.
DANA_ANGRY: He’s had his own way his whole life. Doesn’t know what it feels like not to.
Lulu goes to say something but stops herself, she seems nervous around Dana and Gabi.
There is an obvious tension between you all, as no one knows quite what to say.
MEERA_HAPPY: Well, let’s not stand around moping. One door closes and another opens.
Meera looks around at the girls until her gaze lands on you.
MEERA_SERIOUS: Looks like we have a lot of catching up to do, {0}. Let’s talk.
You and the girls assemble around the pool for a debrief.
Everyone is still recovering from the shockwaves of Stick or Twist.
KAT_IDLE: Why are you lot being all weird and quiet! We have a new girl here, come on!
DANA_HAPPY: Welcome, Lulu!
GABI_IDLE: Yeah! It’s so nice to meet you!
LULU_HAPPY: Aw thanks, guys. I’m so excited to be in the real villa! Even if it’s a tad tense.
LULU_EMBARRASSED: I was really nervous coming in to be honest.
PLAYER_IDLE: Yeah, talk about jumping in the deep end.
DANA_IDLE: Don’t worry it’ll pass. I was super nervous coming in - we all were!
DANA_IDLE: I know {0} was for sure.
DANA_HAPPY: Except {0} obvs. She was dripping with confidence.
DANA_HAPPY: But we can’t all be like {0}.
DANA_HAPPY: Except {0} obvs. She was bouncing off the walls with excitement.
DANA_HAPPY: But we can’t all be like {0}.
ARLO_HAPPY: So, tell us about yourself, Lulu.
LULU_FLIRTY: Well, I´m pretty chill most of the time.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: That was a pretty dramatic entrance.
LULU_FLIRTY: I said most of the time, not always.
ARLO_HAPPY: I love your style, Lulu!
LULU_HAPPY: Cheers, Arlo.
PLAYER_HAPPY: What do you do, Lulu?
LULU_FLIRTY: I run my own knitwear design company in Brighton.
DANA_HAPPY: Wow, that's cool. Will be picking your brain for fashion tips.
LULU_IDLE: I´m here for all you, girls.
KAT_FLIRTY: Good to hear, babe. Always good to meet a new girl.
MEERA_HAPPY: Well, I guess I’m not exactly new, sorry to disappoint.
ARLO_HAPPY: I knew we would be reunited. Can’t keep us bombshells away from each other!
MEERA_FLIRTY: What can I say? You can’t get rid of me that easy.
DANA_HAPPY: Ah, I'll allow it. She’s an oldie but a goodie.
MEERA_HAPPY: Oi! Who you calling ‘oldie’?
GABI_IDLE: So! How we feeling about our new couples?
DANA_IDLE: Yeah that was quite the shake up. Except for the Bonnie and Clyde of Basildon of course.
Eyes turn to Kat who is a million miles away.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Earth calling Kat? You alright there?
KAT_SURPRISED: Huh? Sorry, just got carried away…
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Thinking about sharing a bed with Finn again?
KAT_HAPPY: How did you know?
ARLO_HAPPY: Here we go, melty Kat’s back. Relieved Finn came back alone then?
KAT_IDLE: Nah, I knew he wouldn’t dare bring anyone else back.
KAT_HAPPY: What we have is way more than any Casa Amor fling... no offence girls.
LULU_HAPPY: None taken?
KAT_HAPPY: Think this is it now, girls.
KAT_HAPPY: Never thought I’d say it but I think I might be… settling down.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Blasphemy!
DANA_IDLE: I never thought I’d see the day, but I’m happy for you two. You’ve come a long way.
KAT_HAPPY: Yeah, me and Finn to the end! I mean we are the most stable couple.
KAT_HAPPY: Think we defo have a real shot of going the distance.
DANA_IDLE: And you’re so humble.
ARLO_IDLE: Yeah, well not if me and Pete have anything to say about it.
MEERA_IDLE: Happy with your man-swap then?
ARLO_HAPPY: Hundred percent.
ARLO_HAPPY: I mean Pete’s not my usual type on paper. But there’s just this edge to him.
ARLO_FLIRTY: It just feels like raw attraction and that <i>body</i>, you know?
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Thoughts on Suresh?
ARLO_FLIRTY: Don’t get me wrong Suresh had the bark.
ARLO_FLIRTY: But it feels like Pete has the bite to back it up.
LULU_EMBARRASSED: Oh, should I be worried about Suresh?
PLAYER_ANGRY: Yes, you should. I warned you already!
LULU_EMBARRASSED: I remember.
GABI_IDLE: Oh no, don’t you worry.
Gabi realises she has put her foot in it. She glances at you and goes quiet.
The tension starts to sneak back in until Meera perks up.
MEERA_HAPPY: Well, I for one, am over the moon.
MEERA_IDLE: I never thought I would get another chance.
MEERA_HAPPY: And it feels like me and Alfie were made for each other.
MEERA_HAPPY: We just have so much in common, it’s unreal.
LULU_HAPPY: You two do seem like a good match.
LULU_HAPPY: They just look like a couple, if you know what I mean?
Yeah, they do
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, to be fair you two do look right for each other.
MEERA_HAPPY: Aw, thanks {0}, that means a lot from you.
MEERA_HAPPY: Not that I need your blessing or anything…
No, they don’t
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I don’t really see it to be honest.
MEERA_SURPRISED: Wow, clearly touched a nerve…
MEERA_HAPPY: Well, that’s fine. Don’t really need your blessing.
I don’t know what you mean?
PLAYER_IDLE: What does look like a couple mean?
LULU_HAPPY: You know, they just look like they fit!
DANA_HAPPY: Like a stock photo of a couple looking at a baby that’s not really theirs.
MEERA_HAPPY: I’ll take that as a compliment?
MEERA_IDLE: Well, all I know is that Alfie is a true gent.
MEERA_HAPPY: He’s kind and thoughtful and I couldn’t be happier.
LULU_HAPPY: Aw I know what you mean, I have the same thing with Suresh!
DANA_SURPRISED: Huh? Suresh?
KAT_SURPRISED: Really? Kind and thoughtful?
DANA_HAPPY: Are we talking about the same fella?
MEERA_IDLE: To be fair, he seemed to have changed his tune since last time I was here.
MEERA_SAD: He just seemed more… genuine.
LULU_IDLE: Yeah, he was so sweet and caring in Casa Amor, he really looked out for me.
LULU_FLIRTY: Wasn’t long before we connected.
GABI_SERIOUS: I know that feeling.
KAT_SURPRISED: Wait. Sweet and caring? Now that really doesn’t sound like Suresh!
LULU_SURPRISED: Oh? Isn’t he like that with you guys?
Yeah, he’s like that with me
PLAYER_HAPPY: Suresh can be a real sweetheart.
PLAYER_IDLE: We have had a rocky past.
PLAYER_HAPPY: But he really does care, I’ll give him that.
GABI_IDLE: Yeah, he does have his moments.
No, he isn’t
PLAYER_ANGRY: I wouldn’t call Suresh sweet and caring, no.
PLAYER_IDLE: So I’ll believe it when I see it.
LULU_SAD: Oh, I see.
GABI_IDLE: I dunno, I think Suresh has his moments.
Sometimes
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Suresh can be sweet at times, sure.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: But I wouldn’t go as far as you.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: We’ll see if he keeps it up I guess.
LULU_SAD: Oh right, sure.
GABI_HAPPY: I’m sure he can. The boy has his moments!
Gabi pauses again, you sense tense flicks of eye contact between the other girls.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you mean by moments?
GABI_HAPPY: I dunno, I just always thought he was a really sweet guy too.
ARLO_HAPPY: Uh oh. Does Lulu have competition?
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Yeah should I be worried, Gabi? You sound pretty smitten yourself.
GABI_EMBARRASSED: What? No! I was just saying.
DANA_ANGRY: Well, maybe don’t right now, yeah?
GABI_SAD: Oh, okay. What’s gotten into you?
DANA_SERIOUS: Nothing!
Suddenly you sense someone approach.
It’s Alfie! He looks at you nervously, sensing the heated vibes.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Sorry, is this a bad time?
DANA_EMBARRASSED: No! It’s fine. What is it?
ALFIE_IDLE: Okay well, just wanted to let you know the guys are all packed up.
ALFIE_IDLE: They’ll be leaving soon if you wanted to come say your goodbyes?
ARLO_HAPPY: Oh thanks, Alfie. Come on gals, I’m sure Eddie has a speech prepared for us.
DANA_ANGRY: Oh yay, can’t wait.
You all stand up and begin to head inside when Alfie catches your eye.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Erm, actually {0}, I wondered if I could talk to you quickly… in private.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Everything’s been so intense since we went to Casa Amor.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Feels like there was so much that went unsaid before I left.
ALFIE_IDLE: And now I’m with Meera and everything. It would be good to clear the air.
ALFIE_IDLE: I know I have a lot to get off my chest, I’m sure you must do too.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I think it’s important to be open with you. Follow me to the bean bags.
Suddenly you hear footsteps behind you.
FINN_HAPPY: Laaaaaaaaadddiiiieeees!
Finn approaches with a happy-go-lucky swagger, before he senses the heated vibe.
FINN_EMBARRASSED: Oh… bad time?
KAT_HAPPY: Apparently for some… you okay, babes?
FINN_IDLE: Ah right, just wanted to let you beours know that the guys are all packed up.
FINN_IDLE: They’ll be leaving soon if you wanted to come say your farewells?
ARLO_HAPPY: Oh thanks, Finn! Come on gals, I’m sure Eddie has a speech prepared for us.
KAT_SERIOUS: Oh yay, can’t wait… brace yourselves.
You all stand up and begin to head inside when Dana catches your eye.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Erm, actually {0}, I wondered if I could talk to you quickly… in private.
GABI_SERIOUS: Guess, I’ll leave you two to it.
Gabi looks back at you for a moment before heading inside.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Everything’s been so crazy these last few days.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: It feels like we haven’t had a proper chance to chat.
PLAYER_HAPPY: It's been full on, hasn´t it?
DANA_IDLE: My heads just a bit of a mess and you’re always so good with advice and stuff.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: I just really need a friend right now and to get everything off my chest.
DANA_IDLE: I feel like you’re the only person I can talk to and really be myself.
DANA_IDLE: Let’s go to the bean bags, follow me!
Alfie leads you over to the bean bags. Looking around to make sure you are alone.
He pulls out a bean bag for you, like a nervous suitor on a first date.
ALFIE_HAPPY: M´lady…
PLAYER_HAPPY: Why, thank you.
Alfie takes a seat on the bean bag opposite you and the two of you look at each other for a moment.
ALFIE_IDLE: Thanks for hanging back. Just really needed someone to talk to.
ALFIE_IDLE: And you’ve always been a good listener.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s okay, what’s up?
ALFIE_IDLE: Well, like I said before, everything with Meera has been so unexpected.
ALFIE_IDLE: It all happened so fast.
ALFIE_IDLE: I’ve had an amazing time getting to know her and all that, don’t get me wrong.
ALFIE_SAD: I just wished I was able to talk to you during Casa.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I mean I know it wasn’t long, but can’t lie I missed chatting with you.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: You know what I mean?
Yeah, I missed it too
PLAYER_HAPPY: Felt strange not having our catch ups.
PLAYER_IDLE: It was weird not having you here.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Exactly!
Nah, I didn’t miss it
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: To be honest, I didn't really miss our chats.
ALFIE_SAD: Sorry to hear that.
PLAYER_IDLE: We had an eventful time this end. All kind of flew by.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Yeah, same for us.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Feels like I blinked and now I’m back here.
Kind of?
PLAYER_IDLE: I kind of know what you mean.
PLAYER_IDLE: Feels like a lot has changed but it all happened so quickly.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Yeah, I suppose so.
ALFIE_IDLE: Well, what I mean is that… I missed you.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Sounds like you didn't feel the same.
ALFIE_IDLE: But I still want you to know something though.
ALFIE_IDLE: I know I’m with Meera now, but I’m still here for you whenever you need me.
ALFIE_HAPPY: You still mean the world to me. I want you to know that.
Alfie gives you an earnest smile.
ALFIE_IDLE: To be honest, seeing you with Nicolas is gonna take some getting used to.
ALFIE_IDLE: To be honest, seeing you with Johnny is gonna take some getting used to.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Like I know we were in a ‘friend’ couple.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: But it’s gonna be weird not being side by side in the challenges and that.
ALFIE_SAD: I loved our little team.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I know you chose to stick and I may be way out of line here.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I’m just worried that now I’m with Meera and you’re with Nicolas, we will drift apart.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I don’t want that, do you?
ALFIE_SERIOUS: I’m just worried that now I’m with Meera and you’re with Johnny, we will drift apart.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: I don’t want that, do you?
No, I don’t want to drift apart
PLAYER_HAPPY: I wouldn’t want to lose what we have.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Great! I’m glad you feel the same way, {0}.
I think we need a bit of space
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I think some distance would be good.
PLAYER_IDLE: Don’t you think you should focus on Meera, and I´ll focus on Nicolas?
PLAYER_IDLE: Don’t you think you should focus on Meera, and I´ll focus on Johnny?
ALFIE_SAD: Oh right, yeah I guess so. If that’s what you want.
I’m not sure
PLAYER_IDLE: I don’t know, Alfie.
PLAYER_SAD: I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but I also want to give our new couplings a chance.
ALFIE_SAD: Yeah, I know what you mean.
ALFIE_IDLE: Well, I’m glad I got that off my chest anyway.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: And for what it’s worth, I’m sorry I didn’t stick. Hated to have to reveal things that way.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: But I had to do what felt right for both of us.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: You don’t think I should have stuck with you, do you? Did I make the right choice?
You should have stuck with me
PLAYER_ANGRY: Well, of course I think you should have stuck, that’s why I stuck!
PLAYER_IDLE: But what’s done is done I guess. Can’t go back in time.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Sorry, {0}.
You made the right choice
PLAYER_HAPPY: You did the right thing. It’s good that we can both explore new things.
ALFIE_HAPPY: I’m glad you think so.
Who knows?
PLAYER_IDLE: Can’t predict what will happen in the future. Who knows what’s right or wrong?
ALFIE_IDLE: I guess that’s one way of looking at it.
ALFIE_IDLE: Was tearing my hair out in Casa Amor trying to make up my mind.
ALFIE_IDLE: Almost forgot to have a good time!
PLAYER_SURPRISED: You boys have a wild time then?
ALFIE_HAPPY: I guess you could say that. Was exciting to be in a new gaff.
ALFIE_HAPPY: There were a few surprises, and some naughtiness from the other boys.
PLAYER_ANGRY: I know. We got sent a postcard. Looked like you had some fun yourself?
You watch as Alfie gets a bit choked up, unsure what to say.
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Ah yeah it was alright…
ALFIE_HAPPY: Eddie was trying his hardest, bless him.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh yeah?
ALFIE_HAPPY: Poor boy was chirpsing anything that moved.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I saw he was in bed with a girl!
ALFIE_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, she friend-zoned him the day after.
ALFIE_HAPPY: I half expected him to try it on with the inflatables after that.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Wow!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: OI! If you two are done, you might wanna come and say goodbye to me?!
You turn and see Eddie shouting from the doorway.
ALFIE_HAPPY: Whoops. Coming, mate!
ALFIE_HAPPY: We better go. Thanks for this though, {0}. I’m glad we did this.
ALFIE_SERIOUS: Whatever happens, you can always come to me. I’ll be here.
Dana leads you over to the bean bags. Looking around to make sure you are alone.
She clumsily leaps onto one and pulls another bag close to her, gesturing for you to sit.
DANA_HAPPY: Let’s dive into it, eh?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Graceful...
You take a seat on the bean bag opposite.
DANA_IDLE: Thanks for hanging back with me. Just really needed someone to talk to.
DANA_IDLE: And you’ve always been the best listener.
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s okay, what’s up?
DANA_IDLE: Well, since me and Gabi got together everything has been moving so fast.
DANA_IDLE: Feel like I haven’t had a second to think.
DANA_IDLE: And me and Gabi have had an amazing time getting to know each other and all that.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Don’t get me wrong. I just wished I was able to talk to you more too.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: I really value your opinion. Feels like you know me better than I do sometimes.
DANA_SERIOUS: I guess I just wanted to know… do you think me and Gabi make a good match?
Yeah, you’re well matched
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, you two seem good together.
DANA_HAPPY: Really? Aw I’m glad you think so.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: I’ve just felt so confused lately, I don’t know my arse from my elbow.
DANA_HAPPY: But I trust your opinion, so I guess everything’s coming up roses.
No, I don’t think so
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I’m not sure you two suit each other.
DANA_SAD: Oh right… straight to the point with a sprinkling of brutality, I like it.
DANA_SAD: I was really hoping you wouldn’t say that, but I kinda saw it coming.
DANA_SAD: I appreciate the honesty, you’re a good friend.
I’m not sure
PLAYER_IDLE: I don’t really know. It’s too early to say.
DANA_HAPPY: Ah well cheers, very helpful! My magic 8 ball was more help…
DANA_SAD: Guess it’s something I need to figure out for myself.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: I do need to get to know her better.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: But between you and me, I keep getting these little moments of jealousy. It’s so unlike me!
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What have you got to be jealous about?
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Well it’s just, now that Suresh is back and Gabi still seems so gushy about him.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: And I don't have to tell you their history.
DANA_SAD: Just worried she is gonna jump into his arms whenever she gets the chance.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: There is just loads of baggage there to deal with and with so many people.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: There is a lot of baggage flying around.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: But what’s pranging me out the most is how it could affect our friendship.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you mean?
DANA_IDLE: Well, you mean the world to me. I want you to know that.
Dana looks at you sadly.
DANA_SERIOUS: I know that this Suresh and Gabi history is a lot for you to deal with.
DANA_SERIOUS: I’m just worried that now I’m with Gabi and you’re with Nicolas, we will drift apart.
DANA_SERIOUS: And I don’t want that, do you?
DANA_SERIOUS: I’m just worried that now I’m with Gabi and you’re with Johnny, we will drift apart.
DANA_SERIOUS: And I don’t want that, do you?
No, I don’t want to drift apart
PLAYER_HAPPY: I wouldn’t want to lose what we have.
DANA_HAPPY: Okay good! I’m glad you feel the same way, {0}.
I think I need a bit of space
PLAYER_IDLE: I think some distance would be good for a bit.
PLAYER_IDLE: Don’t you think you should focus on Gabi and I'll focus on Nicolas?
PLAYER_IDLE: Don’t you think you should focus on Gabi and I'll focus on Johnny?
DANA_SAD: Oh right, yeah I guess so. If that’s what you want.
DANA_SAD: I’m always here if you need me though.
I’m not sure
PLAYER_IDLE: I don’t know, Dana.
PLAYER_SAD: I don’t want to lose you as a friend, but I also have a lot to process.
DANA_SAD: Yeah, I know what you mean.
DANA_IDLE: Well, I’m glad I got that off my chest anyway.
DANA_HAPPY: Fingers crossed everything with those two calms down.
DANA_IDLE: Was tearing my hair out worrying about him coming back.
DANA_HAPPY: Never expected Suresh 2.0 with all new empathy chip.
DANA_SURPRISED: Can’t believe everyone is calling him sweet!
PLAYER_IDLE: You think it’s for real?
DANA_HAPPY: Time will tell.
DANA_HAPPY: Not that you have to worry about any of that now you’re with Nicolas!
DANA_HAPPY: I think he’s just what the doctor ordered for you, you know.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You think so?
DANA_HAPPY: Let’s just say if my doc prescribed hunky latinos I wouldn’t be eating an apple a day…
DANA_HAPPY: Not that you have to worry about any of that now you’re with Johnny!
DANA_HAPPY: I think he’s just what the doctor ordered for you, you know.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You think so?
DANA_HAPPY: You kidding? He’s like a bloody Romeo to your Juliet.
DANA_HAPPY: Except he doesn’t speak in weird little rhyming riddles all the time!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Oi! If you two are done gossiping you might wanna come and say bye to me?!
You turn and see Eddie shouting from the doorway.
DANA_HAPPY: Whoops��� coming, mate! Thanks for this though, {0}. I’m glad we did this.
EDDIE_ANGRY: ‘Mate’?! Haven’t you friendzoned me enough?
Dana turns to you.
DANA_SERIOUS: I meant it when I said I really value your opinion. Only one I bloody trust in this place!
PLAYER_IDLE: Well, we better go face the music.
DANA_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, I’m sure Eddie has a heartfelt goodbye waiting for me.
You and Dana run out to the entrance to say your farewells.
The dumped boys have their bags packed, ready to leave the villa.
EDDIE_ANGRY: I don’t care what you lot say, I’m not taking this sitting down.
EDDIE_ANGRY: This won’t be the last you see of Edward Archibald-Harris!
KAT_HAPPY: That’s your full name?!
EDDIE_ANGRY: Yes! What’s wrong with it?
DANA_HAPPY: Nothing, it’s a beautiful name.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Look, do you realise I’m the only actual proper gent in this villa?
EDDIE_ANGRY: I bet you only wanted me out because I know all your dirty little secrets!
EDDIE_ANGRY: {0} had to be nudged to even say goodbye!
PLAYER_ANGRY: I was just having a chat, Eddie.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: It’s fine, Eddie, they’re here now. That’s all that matters.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Maybe to you but I’m an OG and deserve a bit better.
EDDIE_ANGRY: If you girls knew what you were missing you wouldn’t be treating me this way.
EDDIE_ANGRY: I’ll have you all know I do very very well in the outside world.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Right… Well I don’t want to ramble on… but!
JOHNNY_HAPPY: I just wanted to say that getting to know you guys has been one of the best experiences of my life.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Wish I got to get to know you fellas better.
JOHNNY_IDLE: But there’s plenty of time for that on the outside.
JOHNNY_IDLE: You’re all beautiful people and even though I’m heading home, I feel like I won just by being here.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, Johnny, that's sweet.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: So thanks!
You can see Johnny well up a bit but he holds back the tears.
ALFIE_IDLE: Aw mate, you just broke my little cockney heart. Is it too late to twist? Bagsy Johnny.
MEERA_HAPPY: Hey!
FINN_SAD: Ditto… Alfie? Johnny? Throuple??
KAT_SERIOUS: You boys are pushing your luck.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Maybe next time, hey lads.
Johnny hugs each of the Islanders one by one. Until he gets to you.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Goodbye, {0}, you were always my favourite by the way.
KAT_ANGRY: Rude.
PLAYER_ANGRY: I was just having a chat, Eddie.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Cool it, Eddie, they’re here now. That’s what counts.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Maybe to you, but I’m an OG and deserve a bit better…
EDDIE_ANGRY: If you girls knew what you were missing you wouldn’t be treating me this way.
EDDIE_ANGRY: I’ll have you all know I do very very well in the outside world.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Oh right, well I’m no OG so I guess I won’t take up too much time.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Coming on Love Island has been a dream come true.
NICOLAS_IDLE: I may have been robbed of my chance to dominate the playing field, but I gave it a good go.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Maybe if I was an OG things would be different.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: And, ladies. It goes without saying that… you’re all gonna miss me.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: But you don’t have to. We could leave together now and live happily ever after.
ALFIE_IDLE: The boy’s smooth. Is it too late to twist? Bagsy Nicolas.
MEERA_HAPPY: Hey!
FINN_SAD: Ditto. Alfie? Nicolas? Throuple??
KAT_SERIOUS: You boys are pushing your luck.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Maybe next time, hey lads.
Nicolas hugs each of the Islanders one by one. Until he gets to you.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: See you around, {0}, you were always my favourite by the way.
KAT_ANGRY: Rude.
Eddie pulls you to one side. He whispers in your ear conspiratorially.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: {0}, you’re the only one here that has been good to me.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: It’s time I return the favour.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: I saw things in Casa Amor… there is tea un-spilt. But I know the truth!
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Are you alright, Eddie? You’re not making much sense.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: You need to know what’s really going on! You don’t have all the facts!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Alfie, Finn, Suresh.
EDDIE_IDLE: Even Dana.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: They’re all hiding secrets from you. BIG ONES.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Look, I don’t have much time.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But if you come with me to the terrace I will tell you as much as I can.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Trust me, you want to know.
*Okay, tell me more!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Spill that tea!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Follow me!
Eddie darts up the stairs toward the terrace. You follow close behind.
Nah, I’m okay not knowing
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I’m not sure I wanna know.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Oh, but you need to know!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: This is my last chance to spread the truth! One last good deed!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Don’t take that away! Let me share what I know with you!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: If you want a proper chance at finding love, you need to know everything.
*Well now I have to know!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Spill the tea!
EDDIE_HAPPY: With pleasure. Follow me!
Eddie runs upstairs toward the terrace. You follow close behind.
No, I can’t handle the truth
PLAYER_IDLE: I prefer my tea un-spilt, thanks.
EDDIE_SAD: Suit yourself, but don’t blame me when it blows up in your face!
EDDIE_SAD: So long, {0}. Win it for me, yeah?
The Islanders wave off Johnny, and turn back to Eddie.
The Islanders wave off Nicolas, and turn back to Eddie.
They approach him, slowly. Then pile in for a massive group hug.
Eddie tries to resist, to no avail.
ALFIE_HAPPY: We’ll miss you, geezer.
FINN_IDLE: Yeah, even if you don’t miss us.
EDDIE_SAD: Thanks, guys. I guess I’ll miss you too.
Eddie steps out the door and into the night.
You reach the terrace moments after Eddie. He is tucked away in the corner.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Be quick, we’re running out of time.
You approach and sit beside him.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Okay, I only have time to reveal the secrets of one Islander, so… who will it be?
Alfie
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Okay, I want to know about Alfie.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Alright, here’s the tea.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So we were in Casa Amor and I was having a nightmarish time…
EDDIE_SERIOUS: All the new girls were trying to pull me for chats… and more no doubt.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I see!
EDDIE_HAPPY: It was honestly too much, they’d practically formed a queue.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So, I had to get out of there. I snuck away and who do I find?
EDDIE_IDLE: It’s only Alfie and Finn having a secret chat.
PLAYER_HAPPY: So what? It could have been about anything?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Well here’s where it gets interesting. I sneak up to the balcony for the birds eye view.
EDDIE_IDLE: I couldn't hear much except for ‘{0}’... ‘engagement ring’...
EDDIE_SERIOUS: ‘The big question’ and ‘baggage’!
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What does that mean?
EDDIE_IDLE: Well I’m no expert but that spells out a proposal to me.
PLAYER_IDLE: Oh wait, could it be my ring from excess baggage?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Whatever it means the man seemed pretty seriously conflicted.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I see.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But when I asked them about it later on they refused to tell me.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So it must be proper hush hush.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: And they said I could NOT tell Meera what I’d seen.
EDDIE_IDLE: I guess what I’m trying to say is, he’s still into you, {0}.
Suresh
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Okay, I want to know about Suresh.
EDDIE_HAPPY: Thought you might, old flames are the hardest to extinguish, as they say.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Do they?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Maybe? Anyway, here’s the scoop.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: I was in the kitchen in Casa Amor elbow deep in a packet of crisps.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Anyway, who do I see sulking his way over to the fruit bowl? Suresh.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So I ask, ‘why the long face?’
EDDIE_IDLE: Because him and Lulu had been chirpsing away all day.
EDDIE_IDLE: And he seemed happy as Larry before.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: And you’ll never guess what he tells me.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: What?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: He says that Lulu is nice and everything but there is NO spark.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really? But Lulu said Suresh was super sweet to her?
EDDIE_IDLE: Well that’s the thing, I asked him why he is grafting her.
EDDIE_IDLE: And Suresh says he has a game plan!
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Why isn't that surprising?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Apparently he thought all the new girls were stunners.
EDDIE_IDLE: But the only person he could think about was… you.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: And he couldn’t risk a twist situation because he wanted to return to the villa for you.
EDDIE_IDLE: So he was gonna graft Lulu and bring her back to ensure his place!
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What? Are you sure about this?
EDDIE_IDLE: Straight from the horse’s mouth.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: So he doesn’t care about Lulu at all? He is just using her to get to me?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Exactly! It’s all part of his grand plan to win you back!
Finn
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Okay, I want to know about Finn.
EDDIE_HAPPY: Interesting… someone’s caught Finn Fever I see.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Here’s the deal.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So, there I was bench pressing in the Casa Amor gym.
EDDIE_FLIRTY: I was pretty annoyed because the weights just weren’t hefty enough.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: I tried stacking everything they had on the bar but I still wasn’t breaking a sweat.
EDDIE_IDLE: Anyway, I see Finn struggling with his squats so I go over to spot him.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Turns out he’s got a lot more weight on his shoulders than a 20kg barbell.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you mean?
EDDIE_IDLE: Finn says he has got a big decision to make, some heavy stuff you might say.
EDDIE_HAPPY: Pun intended. You´re welcome.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: He says that he hasn’t even been able to think about the new Casa Amor girls.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Although he was flirting with that girl in bed?
EDDIE_FLIRTY: That was just Finn bantering. He wasn't into her.
EDDIE_IDLE: Because the real dilemma is back in the villa. Between Kat... and you.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Oh?
EDDIE_IDLE: He says that things have been good with Kat.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But he can’t stop thinking about you and he doesn't know what to do.
EDDIE_IDLE: But either way he needed to get back to the villa to make his decision.
EDDIE_IDLE: And the safest way to do that was to just stick with Kat.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Do you know if he has made up his mind?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: No clue, but he seemed pretty serious about both of you.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But he's got a deep attraction to you that he hasn’t experienced before.
EDDIE_IDLE: Thought you should know, in case you want to graft him, before it’s too late.
Dana
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Okay, I want to know about Dana.
EDDIE_HAPPY: Ah yeah, I should have known you’d pick her.
PLAYER_IDLE: What do you mean?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Well before we got whisked away to Casa I was doing my morning swim.
EDDIE_HAPPY: I had just finished my one thousandth lap… underwater that is…
EDDIE_SERIOUS: When who do I see approaching with a tear in their eye, Dana!
EDDIE_SERIOUS: So I invite her in for a little dip and a shoulder to cry on.
PLAYER_SAD: Why was she crying?
EDDIE_IDLE: She said nothing was wrong but I’m an empath so I could tell she was lying.
EDDIE_IDLE: Anyway, after I had told her some reassuring motivational quotes I had read online…
EDDIE_SERIOUS: She finally spilled the beans on what was bothering her, and I’m sad to say it was you.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Me?
EDDIE_EMBARRASSED: She was stinging a little that you'd picked Alfie over her.
EDDIE_SAD: I was stinging a lot that she'd gone behind my back after I'd coupled with her.
EDDIE_IDLE: Basically, we had a deep one.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: About what?
EDDIE_FLIRTY: Life, love, the future.
EDDIE_EMBARRASSED: Well, she told me that she knew you didn't reciprocate her feelings.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But she hadn't felt a connection with anyone like she had with you.
EDDIE_FLIRTY: And remember when she asked you about getting to know Suresh?
PLAYER_IDLE: What about it?
EDDIE_IDLE: Well, she said she only did that to try to move on from you.
EDDIE_IDLE: But she wasn't actually that into Suresh at all.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Wow, okay. Interesting.
EDDIE_HAPPY: Well, she was pumped you´d picked her over Alfie.
EDDIE_ANGRY: Me, less so. But forgive and forget, right?
EDDIE_SAD: Anyway, she was loving spending more time with you.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But your baggage with Suresh was bothering her.
EDDIE_IDLE: She´s got trust issues as you probably know.
EDDIE_FLIRTY: And she knew Suresh was grafting you hard.
EDDIE_SAD: She was just feeling super insecure about you and her.
EDDIE_FLIRTY: And whether you were as into her as she was you.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: I guess I should admit this now.
EDDIE_EMBARRASSED: I made a play for her after she unofficially coupled up with you.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I didn't know that.
EDDIE_IDLE: Well, she turned me down. She only wanted to be with you.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But after what she thought happened with you and Suresh.
EDDIE_EMBARRASSED: Well, it'd all gone weird and she didn’t know if you two could fix things.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: She was heartbroken. And I should know, I’ve broken a lot of hearts.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: But Dana is with Gabi now. Why are you telling me this?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Because from what she told me, those feelings don't just go away.
EDDIE_HAPPY: What you had with Dana was way deeper than what she has with Gabi. Trust me.
EDDIE_SAD: I mean the whole time I was coupled with her all she talked about was you!
PLAYER_IDLE: Really?
EDDIE_SERIOUS: I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. But if you want Dana back then I think you have a shot.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: But you’re gonna have to graft. Hard.
From downstairs you can hear a commotion.
JOHNNY_IDLE: Eddie! Where are you? We have to go!
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Eddie! I’m ready! It’s go time!
EDDIE_SAD: Damn, guess my time´s up.
EDDIE_FLIRTY: Use this information wisely. I think you have a real chance of winning this.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thank you, Eddie.
Eddie stands up and nods at you.
EDDIE_IDLE: Goodbye, {0}, see you on the other side.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Bye, Eddie.
The two of you head downstairs.
Downstairs the Islanders are still standing around the entrance.
They wave off Johnny, and turn back to see you and Eddie.
They wave off Nicolas, and turn back to see you and Eddie.
ALFIE_FLIRTY: Where have you two been?
KAT_HAPPY: Yeah, we thought you were gonna try and hide in a cupboard or something.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: Ha ha, very funny.
The Islanders start to approach Eddie, slowly.
EDDIE_SERIOUS: What are you doing?
Everybody piles in for a massive group hug. Eddie tries to resist, to no avail.
ALFIE_HAPPY: We’ll miss you, geezer.
FINN_SAD: Yeah, even if you don’t miss us.
EDDIE_SAD: Thanks, guys. I guess I’ll miss you too.
Eddie drags his suitcase behind him and steps out into the night.
KAT_SAD: What a day.
ARLO_SAD: I know, that was intense.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It really was!
DANA_SAD: Don’t know about you lot but my bed is crying out for me.
MEERA_HAPPY: You can say that again. Especially with our new bed partners.
MEERA_HAPPY: In fact, I’m heading to the dressing room.
MEERA_FLIRTY: Gotta be looking our best don’t we, girls?
You spot flirty looks between Meera and Alfie.
Then you catch Alfie’s eye. He looks away bashfully.
You spot flirty looks between Suresh and Lulu.
Then you catch Suresh’s eye. He looks away bashfully.
You spot flirty looks between Finn and Kat.
Then you catch Finn’s eye. He looks away bashfully.
You spot flirty looks between Dana and Gabi.
Then you catch Dana’s eye. She looks away bashfully.
You think about what Eddie said. Is it time to put in the graft yourself?
You and the other Islanders make your way upstairs to prepare for the new sleeping arrangements.
The girls join you in the dressing room to get ready for your first night in your new couples.
MEERA_HAPPY: Aaah! I’m so excited to be back in here!
MEERA_HAPPY: Never thought I’d see these beds again, let alone get to share one with Alfie!
MEERA_FLIRTY: Hopefully this time I get some proper use out of it!
DANA_HAPPY: Well, well, well, lucky Alfie!
ARLO_FLIRTY: We've got all new couples. Need to mark the occasion.
KAT_HAPPY: What are you thinking, {0}? Something to make Alfie regret twisting?
MEERA_FLIRTY: I see how it is, a bit of competition is it? It’s on!
GABI_HAPPY: Shouldn’t {0} be trying to blow Naughty Nic’s mind? Not Alfie’s?
GABI_HAPPY: Shouldn’t {0} be trying to blow Johnny’s mind? Not Alfie’s?
KAT_FLIRTY: She can do both!
Kat rummages through your wardrobe.
KAT_SURPRISED: Look, this will get everyone’s attention!
MEERA_SURPRISED: Oh wow, you were being serious about that competition then.
*TRYOUTFIT* This will get all eyes on me!
DANA_FLIRTY: Oh, {0}. Wow.
KAT_FLIRTY: Alfie will wish he can twist again.
DANA_HAPPY: Like we did last summer?
KAT_IDLE: No offence, Meera.
MEERA_SAD: None, taken. You do look stunning, {0}.
I want to try something else
KAT_SERIOUS: Are you sure? Just thought you might want to stay in the competition.
LULU_IDLE: Thought you might want to go a bit bolder!
MEERA_HAPPY: I think you should wear that. Nice and neutral.
KAT_FLIRTY: Are you gonna let Meera win that easy?
*TRYOUTFIT* Ok, it’s game on!
I’m going to stay comfy
PLAYER_HAPPY: Actually, I am gonna go with this!
GABI_FLIRTY: Yep! I think that’ll be sure to impress Nicolas.
GABI_FLIRTY: Yep! I think that’ll be sure to impress Johnny.
KAT_FLIRTY: Alfie will wish he can twist again.
DANA_HAPPY: Like we did last summer?
KAT_IDLE: No offence, Meera.
MEERA_SAD: None taken. You do look stunning, {0}.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Thanks, Meera.
DANA_HAPPY: She’s right. You’ll definitely grab the limelight.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I think I’ll go with this.
ARLO_FLIRTY: Yeah, maybe you’re right. You look great in that too!
MEERA_HAPPY: Yeah, let the games begin!
PLAYER_IDLE: It’s fine. I want to stick to what I have.
MEERA_HAPPY: Good call. Means I can make my grand re-entrance!
DANA_HAPPY: Right, that’s enough chit chat. BED!
GABI_FLIRTY: Yes please!
The girls rush into the bedroom.
The new couples rush to their beds and jump in.
KAT_HAPPY: Night, everyone! Don’t have too much fun!
FINN_FLIRTY: Not making any promises.
KAT_FLIRTY: Naughty!
As you get tucked up in bed you watch as Lulu and Suresh jump into the bed beside you, giggling and fooling around.
You turn away from them, only to see Meera and Alfie getting very comfortable in the other neighbouring bed.
You turn away and see Gabi and Dana getting very comfortable in the other neighbouring bed.
You turn and look at the empty space in the bed next to you where Alfie used to be.
When suddenly Nicolas comes flying through the air towards you.
Landing in the space beside you with a beaming grin.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: What are you looking at?
Nicolas looks either side of you and realises who you are surrounded by.
NICOLAS_IDLE: Oh fun, seems like we are stuck in a bit of an ex sandwich here.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Seems that way, is it too awkward for you?
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Are you kidding! Just means I get to rub it in their faces.
PLAYER_IDLE: Rub what in their faces?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: That I get to be with the hottest girl in the villa.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: And they all blew it.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: To be honest, {0}, after getting to know you.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: When it came to stick or twist I had already come to terms with leaving.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Because if it wasn’t you who picked me to stay, then I would rather go.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: You were the only one for me. So I feel like the luckiest guy here.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: So, nah, I don’t find it awkward to have them around us.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Because they clearly don’t know what they’re missing.
NICOLAS_EMBARRASSED: Does it bother you having your exes around us?
Yeah, it does
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Can’t lie, it does bother me.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: There is just a lot of complicated history there.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Well you know there’s no future in history.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: I know, it’s hard to just forget all of those feelings.
No, it doesn’t
PLAYER_HAPPY: Nah, I don’t care.
PLAYER_HAPPY: The past is the past. It’s all history.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Exactly, there’s no future in history.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m ready to move on.
I’m not sure
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not sure how I feel.
PLAYER_HAPPY: On the one hand what I have with them is in the past.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Exactly, no future in history!
PLAYER_SAD: But on the other hand, it's hard to just forget those feelings.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Well… maybe I can help with that. Why should we let them have all the fun?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: It’s just you and me, in this bed, at this moment. And no one else matters.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Plus a little drama never hurt anyone, right?
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: Let’s give them something to really talk about. Cause a stir.
Nicolas edges closer to you, until your faces are inches from each other. He takes your hand in his and looks deep into your eyes.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: So, wanna get a little… closer?
Kiss him
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You read my mind.
As you start to lean in, Nicolas' gaze falls to your lips.
He pulls you in close. With his forefinger he raises your chin until your lips meet his.
Lost in the passionate kiss everything around you slips away. You are totally in the moment.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: See, we can have our own fun…
NICOLAS_HAPPY: It’s just me and you here, no one else matters.
Cuddle him
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Wouldn’t say no to a cuddle.
Nicolas smiles at you warmly. He pulls you in close and you lower your head onto his chest.
He squeezes you tight. You listen to his heart beat, totally lost in the moment.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: See, it’s just you and me here.
NICOLAS_FLIRTY: I’ve got you.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: And nothing else matters.
I’m tired
PLAYER_IDLE: It’s been a long day. I wanna get some sleep.
NICOLAS_IDLE: Of course, no problem.
You make yourself comfortable and start to settle down.
NICOLAS_HAPPY: Goodnight, {0}, sweet dreams.
As you close your eyes and let your thoughts subside you hear something…
GABI_SERIOUS: {0}, we need to chat. Now.
You look up to see Gabi looming over you.
Suresh is stood beside her, clearly flustered having been dragged out of bed.
GABI_SERIOUS: It’s time, we need to talk about the past… about everything.
GABI_SERIOUS: It can’t wait any longer.
You turn and look at the empty space in the bed next to you where Alfie used to be.
When suddenly Johnny slides into the space beside you with a beaming grin.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Hey, what you looking at?
Johnny looks either side of you and realises who you are surrounded by.
JOHNNY_IDLE: Oh I see, it seems like we are stuck in a bit of an ex sandwich here.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Seems that way, is it too awkward for you?
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Not at all! Just means I get to rub it in their faces.
PLAYER_IDLE: Rub what in their faces?
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: That I get to be with the most beautiful girl in the villa.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: And they all blew their chances.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: I’m so thankful I have had the chance to get to know you, {0}.
JOHNNY_IDLE: It really feels like you and I have something special.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: And honestly I was ready to walk out of here.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Because if I wasn’t coupled up with you, there would be no point staying.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Really?
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Yes! And the fact you did pick me means… I’m the luckiest guy in here.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: So nah, I don’t find it awkward to have them around us.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Because they clearly don’t know what they’re missing.
JOHNNY_SERIOUS: Does it bother you having your exes around us?
Yeah, it does
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Can’t lie, it does bother me.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: There is just a lot of complicated history there.
JOHNNY_SAD: Moving on can be tough… without someone to do it with.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: It’s hard to just forget all of those feelings.
No, it doesn’t
PLAYER_HAPPY: Nah, I don’t care.
PLAYER_HAPPY: The past is the past.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Well now you have someone to move on with.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, I’m ready to move on.
I’m not sure
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not sure how I feel.
PLAYER_HAPPY: On the one hand what I have with them is in the past.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: And you’re ready for something new?
PLAYER_SAD: But on the other hand it’s hard to just forget those feelings.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Well, maybe I can help with that.
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Why should we let them have all the fun?
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: It’s just you and me, in this bed, at this moment.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: And no one else matters.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Plus a little drama never hurt anyone, right?
JOHNNY_FLIRTY: Let’s give them something to really talk about. Cause a stir.

PLAYER_FLIRTY: Wouldn’t say no to a cuddle.
Johnny smiles at you warmly.
He pulls you in close, you lower your head onto his chest.
He squeezes you tight. You listen to his heart beat, totally lost in the moment.
Another time, I’m tired
PLAYER_IDLE: I wanna get some sleep, it’s been a long day.
JOHNNY_IDLE: Of course, no problem.
You make yourself comfortable and start to settle down.
JOHNNY_HAPPY: Goodnight, {0}, sweet dreams.
As you close your eyes and let your thoughts subside you hear something…
GABI_ANGRY: {0}, we need to chat. Now.
You look up to see Gabi looming over you.
Suresh is stood beside her, clearly flustered having been dragged out of bed.
GABI_SERIOUS: It’s time, we need to talk about the past… about everything.
GABI_SERIOUS: It can’t wait any longer.
NARRATOR: Looks like we have a good old fashioned tea stirring contest on our hands folks!
NARRATOR: How much innocent tea will be spilled as Gabi, Suresh and {0} stew over their hidden pasts?
NARRATOR: Will there be tea-rs or will they leaf the past in the past?
NARRATOR: Find out next time on Love Island!
