Gabriel is proper dodgy, but I like him already. Five minutes in and he's got the entire female population of Shieldinch in a tizzy. Yip, instead of riding in on a stallion, a white van was this Prince Charming's vehicle of choice. Looks like he's going to give us some choice lines too: 'Women are like cats. You've got to let them come to you'.
Now, as I peer into my crystal ball of River City romance, the mist is beginning to clear. I'm seeing romance between Gabriel, and - who's this? Long, curly hair. Lashings of black eye-liner. It seems to be a young maiden called - Iona! Which ladies could you picture Gabriel with?
While Gabriel's charming the birds out the trees, he's not exactly top of my "Shieldinch's nicest blokes" chart! I did cheer when he got the better of moody Fraser though - was that wrong of me?
