But, while her previous romances with Elvis and Captain James, who Georgie had fallen for in series three, didn’t work out, viewers were hopeful that her blossoming romance with Prof will.
Taking to Twitter, after the closing scenes of the episode teased at Georgie and Prof getting together, fans confessed that they were feeling emotional while praising Michelle for her portrayal of Georgie.

Going into the final episode, Georgie had come face to face with warlord Aatan Omar, who had lured Elvis into the trap that killed him, only to find out that the man they thought was Omar wasn’t actually him.
Rabee was in fact the warlord posing as a solider in the Afghanistan army and as he attempted to shoot Georgie in tense scenes, Prof jumped in front of her to save her life.
Georgie was able to shoot Rabee/Omar and bring him to justice and in the closing scenes, the episode teased a blossoming romance between her and Prof, who had become close while serving on tour together.
In the final scenes, Prof opened up to Georgie about his Grandmother dying on Christmas Eve, while she was seeing removing her engagement ring from Elvis and tying it to the end of a kite they released together into the sunset.
