Cold Feet viewers left reeling as Pete tries to smother an elderly patient
Fans were impressed by how the show has tackled Pete's depression

COLD Feet fans were left "crying then laughing" over an emotional scene on Monday night when Pete tried but failed to kill an elderly patient.
Viewers have been praising the ITV reboot for tackling Pete's depression but were left shocked when the show took a surprising plot twist.
Fans were left reeling during the final minutes of the show when Pete - played by John Thompson - attempted to smother Harry, who lives in a care home.
The elderly man asked Pete to "finish him off" and viewers were left shocked when Pete put a pillow over his face and attempted to do what he asked.
His attempt to "finish" him off fails and Harry wakes disappointed that he's still alive.
Harry then tells Pete to "Do It again!" before the pair have a hilarious little spat.
Many viewers loved how the scene went from being so serious and shocking to hilariously funny within a few beats.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "Went from bawling my eyes out to laughing out loud during the euthanasia scene in tonight's #ColdFeet."
Another added: "Bloody hell #coldfeet are you trying to give me a heart attack tonight? Just brilliant!"
Someone else wrote: "Pete Killing Harry" followed by a crying laughing emoji and added: "Then Harry coming round and saying 'Do it again!' Typical #ColdFeet dramatic and funny! Made me literally lol!"
Meanwhile, those watching at home were also impressed with how the show has been tackling Pete's depression.
Pete has been finding it tough and his wife Jenny admitted he'd gone off sex.
Adam, played by James Nesbitt, went with him to the GP as he decided to get help for his mental health problem.

The GP prescribed him antidepressants but Pete later refused to take them as he didn't believe they'd help him.
When Jenny, played by Fay Ripley, told him not to drink, he said: "I'm depressed, if you stop me drinking beer I'll be suicidal. I'm not taking them anyway, they won't cure me."
She pleaded with him to take the pills and decided to sit down with their two children to talk about what was going on with their dad.
She told him: "There's no shame in it and they need to know."
Jenny then told the kids: "We need to take care you your dad, be gentle with him, there's nothing to worry about but he is suffering from depression."
As his young daughter asked him what depression was, Pete replied: "Basically, love, it means I'm miserable."
Fans were impressed with how the show portrayed living with depression and how it affects family life.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: "So happy to see #ColdFeet portray depression as it is. A taboo that needs addressing. A brilliant return for this series. Love Pete to bits."
Another added: "Choking up with tears at Pete and family on #ColdFeet - Brilliantly written and portrayed!"
Cold feet returned to our screens for a sixth series earlier this month with the first episode seeing Adam returning to Manchester after years of living abroad.
The show ran for five series from 1997 and 2003 and has been broadcast in over 30 countries.
