The adult Cynthia Bigge has now become Cynthia Archer. It’s understandable that Cynthia would be worried - and she has good reason, because even 25 years later, her family’s disappearance remains a complete mystery. There’s no note of explanation, no signs of life, and no clues as to their whereabouts. Come morning, Cynthia - full of remorse, and with her head throbbing from the drink - struggles downstairs, only to find that her mother, Patricia, her father and her elder brother, Todd, have all vanished. Following a huge family row, fueled by the booze she had shared with Fleming, the girl storms off to her bedroom, locks the door, and falls into an all-consuming slumber. While fooling around in the back end of a car with a case of booze, this pair are spotted by her father, Clayton, who immediately hauls Cynthia back home. Fourteen-year-old Cynthia Bigge is a troublesome young girl, caught out late one night with her boyfriend Vince Fleming - a bad boy from a family of criminals, whom Cynthia’s parents dislike. No Time for Goodbye has a great premise, and a cast of real people trapped in a terrifying and totally extraordinary situation.

If there was a time where that was what we wanted to do, I don’t see why we wouldn’t.”Īfter Styles and Ferrell praised Corden’s run, the departing host delivered a final goodbye to viewers.
“I feel that it’s not a yes or no question,” the Grammy winner responded. The question led to a loud cheer from the audience, and although a surprise reunion didn’t materialize, Styles left the door open for the future. Later, when Styles was asked to name his personal Late Late Show highlights, he referenced a dodgeball bit by saying, “I got hit in the nuts by Michelle Obama.”Īll three of them played a shortened version of “Spill Your Guts, or Fill Your Guts,” with Styles being asked if One Direction will ever reunite. Ferrell began his visit by smashing Corden’s desk with a sledgehammer. The show’s previously announced guests were Harry Styles and Will Ferrell, who have both made numerous appearances over the years.
