 Pickard felt that if his character discovered Cindy and Darren Osborne's (Ashley Taylor Dawson) plans to scam him he would be "furious but also he'd be really down about it.It would upset him to think they were trying to con him but he'd be angry with himself for being so gullible".He added that "Tony thinks [Cindy would] never have agreed to marry him if Darren still meant something to her".
