Sarah Torv, 29, has decided to get back in touch with her ex-boyfriend Pete, who is suffering from a serious illness. It is a step that commands praise, though taken a little late and with a somewhat clumsy sense of dramatic effect that included a call to her new boyfriend, Keith, in which the announcement of restored contact was both preceded and followed by a fusillade of aggrieved sighs that functioned as the audible equivalent of hand-wringing. We hear a good deal about letting bygones be bygones, but Torv has thus far been slow to let go of grudges or forfeit the perception that staying away accrues goodwill in her current relationship.
