I don't watch this very often but happened to be at my friend's house last night whilst it was on.
I recognised the curly haired girl but couldn't work out who she was.
So if he regrets it or it comes back to bite him will it be just the memory or something a little more weighty?

Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt: 'Paddy's affair story will have big surprises'

Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt has revealed that there are "big surprises" on the way as Paddy Kirk's cheating storyline continues.
The ITV soap's recent 'rewind' episode showed Paddy betray his wife Rhona Goskirk by sleeping with newcomer Tess after they met on a night out.
A guilt-ridden Paddy had hoped to forget about Tess after their passionate encounter, but next week he discovers that she has been appointed as his stepson Leo's new teaching assistant.
Tess's involvement in the family's lives paves the way for a big new storyline, which will see Paddy tempted into having an ongoing affair with her.
Speaking about the surprising shift in Paddy's character, Brunt explained: "I don't think he's irredeemable. I think you can come back from worse! It's a breath of fresh air for me, because I don't want to protect Paddy as a saint. Why would you want to play the same thing for so long without throwing a spanner in the works occasionally?
"I know what's coming up quite a while into the future and it will be well worth the ride. I haven't been told the whole resolution yet, but I know that it's not what you expect. The story is not going to go where you would ever imagine - there's a few big surprises along the way!"
He continued: "My first reaction was, 'No, this is wrong - of course Paddy wouldn't do it'. But I'm going to embrace it, accept it and do it the best I can. Since then I've been enjoying it every step of the way - just throwing off the shackles of saint Paddy!
"Of course I care about whether people like the character, but I think that will come back round. At the moment he's making a weird life choice, which in the moment is right for him."
Brunt explained that Paddy is initially hostile when he discovers that Tess is working with Leo at the school.
"At first he does the cowardly thing of telling Tess that she's going to have to move out of the classroom," he said. "Paddy almost blames her for being there - some of his behaviour is absolutely despicable and pathetic!
"Tess also turns up for the village bonfire while Paddy is with Leo, Rhona and Marlon. She unapologetically says to him: 'What we did is in the past. Let's just carry on our lives and don't worry about it - but you won't stop me from doing what I want and turning up where I want!'
"I think Paddy is scared for the first few weeks of what and who Tess is. I don't think he fully trusts her. I hate the term, but he thinks she's a 'bunny boiler' who'll spoil everything for him by telling Rhona the truth. But at the same time, Paddy keeps turning up at the school because he wants to see Tess.
"Marlon and Rhona don't suspect a thing. Paddy does try to tell Chas, but then backtracks massively by saying that he only kissed her."
Brunt added that he was delighted when he heard that Nicola Stephenson had been cast in the role of Tess.
He said: "She's fantastic. I've watched her for years on various dramas and I think we're very lucky to grab her. I think it speaks volumes for Emmerdale and where we're at.
"We're competing with other shows and we wipe the floor with EastEnders whenever we're put against them. Not that I don't like EastEnders - it's a great programme. But I think at the moment we are a mature serial drama and I'm so proud to be part of it."

Emmerdale's Dominic Brunt on Paddy's affair: 'There's a great twist next year'
Paddy's fling with Tess will take a surprising turn.
By Daniel Kilkelly, Digital Spy
13 November 2015
There could be trouble ahead in Emmerdale, as Dominic Brunt has promised "a great twist" in Paddy Kirk's affair storyline.
The actor was interviewed on ITV's Loose Women today (November 13) and revealed that show bosses are lining up a big surprise as the plot continues over the coming months.
Paddy recently betrayed his wife Rhona Goskirk by sleeping with newcomer Tess Harris (Nicola Stephenson) when they met on a night out.
It won't just be a one-off either, as next week's episodes see Paddy give in to temptation with Tess once again - paving the way for an ongoing affair.
Speaking about the surprising story today, Brunt admitted: "Initially you want to protect your character. You want to go, 'No, he's a good person, he has morals'.
"But I think if you start down that road, you're morally bankrupt as an actor, aren't you? You can't start going upstairs saying, 'No, he wouldn't do this and he wouldn't do that', because you'd be out the door. This is food for us as actors, to have these stories.
"It's very well-written. He's not going to be irredeemable and it's got a great twist towards the end. I can't tell you anything, but I'm dying to tell you! Something happens in the New Year that is great, so keep watching because it's an amazing story."
Brunt added that he never feels like his job on Emmerdale is 100% safe, despite the fact that he will soon celebrate 19 years with the ITV soap.
He said: "I think if you rest on your laurels or become lazy, you're out. You've just got to think of ways to keep doing it.
"And the programme's evolved so much. It was more of a sitcom when it started - certainly when I was there. Storylines were much lighter and me and Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon, were the funnier side."
