Title: Unused Storylines

sorry if this has already been posted but i havent seen,
anyway i was on wikpedia looking at green wing and it lists a few storylines, which in the end they didnt want to use, so here they are:
Unused storylines included:-
- Alan (Heap) having an eighty-year-old wife and grandchildren as old as him.
- Guy (Mangan) suffering from impotence.
Scenes from Series 1 that were deleted have included:-
- Angela (Alexander) dumping her boyfriend Liam, but not realising that he was very rich until after she did so. Caroline (Greig) tried to comfort her, and Angela replied that it was all right, because at least she was not Caroline.
- Lyndon (Joseph) helping Caroline (Greig) after she gave her own description of what is going on with her computer. Caroline also compares Lyndon to a lion in a children’s book. This seemed to lead to a plot-line where Caroline fancied Lyndon.
- During an operation, Guy (Mangan) and Mac (Rhind-Tutt) complain with each out about how they do their jobs. At the same time, Caroline sees the face of Winston Churchill inside a patient’s body.
- A scene probably cut from the episode, "Tangled Webs," where Guy tells Martin (Theobald) that he can punch him to make up for lying about his exams, which he does. Guy then tells a well constructed lie to Caroline about his father being beaten up and how he hates violence.

I LOVE that scene, and wish they kept it in.

i think - Guy suffering from impotence would have been funny shame they didnt use any of these ideas

I like the one they mentioned that Guy was obsessive compulsive and couldn't stop cleaning.

I can't imagine Guy as a compulsive cleaner :unsure:

That was awesome! "They came in the night." And then at the end, "Be bold, plan ahead, own some desktop publishing software." :lol:

Oh, that's one of my favourite scenes ever (despite being deleted)! Caroline's impression of Guy is spot on; this part, "I'm surprised you didn't have a rare blood group as well. [As Guy] They rushed me to the hospital, but I'd lost so much blood, and the nearest available donor was in Turin! Oh, it was a race. A race against death itself!" always makes me laugh hysterically. (Apologies for any mistakes in that, as I'm quoting from memory.)

The first is utter insania but the second would be v. funny. Are these from series 2 because they're not in the deleted scenes on the dvd of series 1, are they?

:jawdrop :jawdrop Really? Was that just an idea that was never filmed or anything? It would have been v. interesting, indeed. It isn't a funny situation to be in, tbh, though. Have you read this, Ultimate?

I think all of those storylines were mentioned in the commentary for "Emergency".
