Shane Lawrence, nicknamed "Kitty", was one member of a stag night party that called into the Rovers in April 2016 to celebrate the forthcoming wedding of their friend Gareth. As well as imbibing plenty of pints, they also worked their way alphabetically through the shorts, reaching G for Grappa when it came to Kitty's turn to go to the bar. Mary Taylor optimistically told him that it was possible to enjoy oneself without "the demon drink" and suggested party games or a rousing sing-song as an acceptable alternative. Kitty wasn't impressed and told her to pass one of the poured pints to the groom - "Big G".
