Rick Blaine
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
- You may be looking for the café owner from the comic story As Time Goes By.
Rick was a character from the movie Casablanca.
In the movie, despite a common wish of the audience, Rick sent Elsa to the aeroplane with her husband. (PROSE: Deceit)
Behind the scenes
The last name of the character, Blaine, is not stated in the novel, but he is recognisable beyond doubt. The novel also misspells the name of Rick's love interest. In the movie, it is Ilsa, not Elsa.
