Gerry McCann returning to Britain this afternoon.

The Scottish Herald reports that Gerry McCann will return to Britain this afternoon because of work commitments.

"Mr McCann will return to Britain this afternoon because of work commitments, a spokeswoman for the couple said."

"Fiona Payne, one of the friends who was on holiday with the McCanns when Madeleine disappeared on May 3 2007, is flying out to support Mrs McCann"


This is all a bit sudden and was not indicated yesterday at the start of proceedings in the Civil Court in Lisbon. I am sure the McCann couple stated that they were going to be in Lisbon for the week, but today Gerry has to leave because of work commitments? Gerry's a cardiologist, not a surgeon and surely the NHS can arrange cover for him? Work commitments didn't seem to get in the way when Kate and Gerry went to Strasbourg to push the American-style Amber Alert system or when they went to the US to appear on the Oprah Show.

"Mr McCann was asked by a Portuguese reporter whether it was worth the emotional cost for the couple to attend the court case.

He replied: “Do you have children? Anyone who has children would go through the same process.”


And yet, suddenly, with no prior notice, Gerry has work commitments?

I am wondering, and this is just my opinion, pure speculation, that Gerry may have been advised by his legal team that he was getting himself rather worked up, that this was not conducive to his being called to the witness stand tomorrow, and that perhaps he should take leave of absence from the proceedings.

I think you are right Anna he cannot control that temper of his..remember the Spanish interview when blood was mentioned he stormed off the set. Or we are in for a 'major' sighting of Madeleine...that means Edgar will not be able to give evidence either has he will be hot on the trail of the 'abductor'..

Imo Gerry is in need of advice from his legal team ; after all that's why they are paid for !

Just imagine Gerry and Kate taking the stand and one contradicting the other? You see, their plan only works with one mouthpiece, not two! And even better if the questions can be screened and the answers scripted!

There's still so much to lose, you see, like House, Job, Social Standing (or whatever shreds they can salvage), 'Reputation', 'Family', to risk it all before a judge!

Anonymous, yes, I reckon you have a point there. I think that's why, when they were made arguidos, Gerry answered all the questions and Kate refused. That way, no contradictions and they can't be played off against each other.
