This explains why all the other characters are also such massive arseholes (Superhans, Jeff, Sophie), and also why Superhans appears to have a superhuman level of resistance to drugs (taking 4 grams of coke to "calm himself down") - he literally cannot die.
Maybe Gerard only dies because he's finally suffered enough and is moving on to greener pastures?

It's the way Mark mentions her near the end of Series 8 completely out of the blue. She hasn't been mentioned at all in any capacity since she last appeared in Series 4 and Jeremy has so many other exes he could have mentioned instead. It seems so random the only explanation I can think of is that it's a bit of foreshadowing.

He said he was playing 'the long game' but he can't have seriously thought he still had a chance of stealing Dobby from Mark...unless he had something insane up his sleeve! Gerard doesn't have much going for him besides his intelligence, and with his nerdy interests it's very plausible he'd be inspired by his comic books and video games to pull of a magnificent cunning plot like faking his own death to destroy Mark & Dobby's relationship (which seems to be working) and then when Dobby's all sad and alone, she's so happy to be with him again that she won't even question how he came back from the dead. Oh, and his sister is obviously in on it too.
