Carl and Del: Romance and a proposal
While Steph’s world crumbles, Carl King and Del Dingle enjoy a lighter, yet equally dramatic storyline.

Del is thrilled by the idea, eager to seize the opportunity and perhaps get a break from the everyday village life. The Dingles, always looking for an adventure, even joke about tagging along for the ride.
