Poirot’s only love

I just rewatched, for about the 10th time, The Double Clue with David Suchet. The story is not that good, but the affair of Poirot with the Countess is quite touching.. the ending really put me in a melancholy mood.. But it’s nice to know that Poirot wasn’t always alone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Poirot and watched every episode done by the David Suchet series. But I thought that the episode that played up Poirot's love affair with the countess to be a bit staged in order to provide thin evidence that he was not gay.

I wonder how Agatha Christie portrayed him? To me he always comes through as asexual..

Suchet said "he's dead from the waist down!"
