S04 E04 “The Dating Agency”

Frank is Eamon’s only friend but from Eamon’s perspective Frank won’t leave him alone. The ad for a Dating Agency in the Parish Newsletter gives them the opportunity to hopefully get Frank married so he can stop bothering Eamon. Although Fr Gabriel’s Dating Agency initially pairs Frank up with Eamon. In truth they are a perfect match. After a complaint he’s eventually paired up for a blind date with Alexis. Bridget and Eamon train Frank for his first date and though it appears there’ll be no hope for Frank, he comes back from the first date engaged and asking Eamon to be his best man.

Shite! Eamon doesn’t want to be anyone’s best man and jealous of Frank’s happiness, and his beautiful and caring financé, Bridget and Eamon plan to break them up. With the help of an obliging auld dear and some cabbage soup and old people urine they tempt Frank into destroying his own nuptials. Success! Except Frank’s on his own again and back wanting to hang out with Eamon.

Featuring: Joy Buckle as Alexis
