WOOLPACK
Turner asked Emma
Nightingale to revamp the Woolpack. This would be a costly
process, so Turner asked the Ephraim Monk brewery to help
cover the costs. A little wary of Turner, given his record,
they requested that Turner employed a bar manager to cope
with the day-to-day running of the pub. Turner agreed, hiring
Terry and Britt Woods, a married couple who'd run a bar in
Benidorm.
lan Botham reopened the pub in February. Nellie
Dingle won a competition for a 'free meal for all the family' - and the
next night brought twelve Dinglesto claim her
prize. Turner reluctantly fed them - and the Dingles have been customers in
the Woolpack ever since.
Terry sold Seth's and Vic's moonshine
in the pub. Turner threatened to sack him when he found out. Britt intervened,
and Turner accepted her plan for her to become sole bar manager, with Terry
becoming just a barman. This, in turn, put a strain on their marriage.
Things became even more strained when Britt's father, Ronnie, turned up. Britt
had told Terry her father was dead - what had really happened was that Ronnie
had abused her, and she'd run away'. Terry felt betrayed: he could have helped
her if he'd known the truth.
Britt was looking for a new start - she was offered the management of a flagship
pub in York. Terry refused to go, and was surprised when Britt went without
him. Terry became manager of the Woolpack again, and - after the briefest of
liaisons with Tina Dingle - found romance with Hotten
Courier journalist Helen Ackroyd. |

1998/1999
Offered to help Tony Cairns out with the activity Centre, but was
not as fit as he thought he was. Began a short relationship with
Heather Hutchinson when she and her family moved into the Woolpack.
He was immediately smitten with Tricia Stokes, Alan Turner’s
granddaughter, who led him into all sorts of scrapes – not
least burning the Woolpack down. He lost his job over Tricia when
Scott let slip that he had been sleeping with her too and Terry
announced to the whole pub that she was a tart; Alan punched him;

long as Gordon; Carols ex turns up and she goes off with him to Spain.
Terry is furious. He gets in a bit of a predicament when Carlos admits
to having an affair with Ashley’s wife Bernice. Ashley is his
friend but doenst want to hurt him so keeps the information to himself.
Inevitably it all comes out and Ashley feels betrayed.
TERRY has been a loser in love so often that the village
is in shock when he returns from Spain with a smile on his face and
a beautiful young girl on his arm.
As the couple walk into
The Woolpack, Bob is mortified to realise that Terry’s new
lover is his 19-year-old daughter Dawn - and she is wearing an
engagement ring!
Terry tries to laugh
off the embarrassment, but Bob can’t see the funny side and
sets out to block any wedding.
“Terry can’t believe his good fortune,” says
Billy Hartman, who plays the ageing groom-to-be. “He was bitter
at being rejected by Louise as he went off on holiday, but he soon
forgot about that when he met Dawn.
“He is an old romantic. He was desperate to fall
in love. He doesn’t care about the age difference if Dawn doesn’t.
It’s a bit awkward her being Bob’s daughter but Terry
is fed up of living alone. He has a chance of happiness and is not
going to let Bob or anyone else get in his way.”
Louise, newly returned from her own break in Australia,
is one of the first people to see Terry and Dawn, and is clearly
taken aback that he has got over her rejection so quickly.
The gossip about Terry’s fresh-faced fiancée
spreads like wildfire. At first, Bob insists people should not be
judgmental about someone just because she is young. But when Terry
and Dawn walk into the pub, Bob is astonished it’s his daughter
they’re talking about.
“Terry tries to
break the ice, joking that Bob
will soon become his father-in-law, but no one is really laughing,” says
Billy.
Bob knows that Terry was head over heels in love with
Louise only a very short time ago. He tells Dawn she must leave straightaway,
but she flatly refuses.
Bob’s ex-wife Jean rushes over from Spain and
the couple start arguing over who is responsible for their daughter’s
disastrous decision to get married.
“Bob accuses Terry of using Dawn to get over
Louise and insists he put an end to the relationship,” says
Billy.
“Terry refuses, even though Bob clearly feels
betrayed by the man he thought was his friend. The following day,
Terry asks Ashley about getting married in the village and he says
they can have a wedding in three weeks’ time. Terry is over
the moon.”
Bob tells Dawn he will
get used to the idea but he’s
still bitterly opposed to the match.
“Terry tries to talk Bob into accepting the wedding,” says
Billy. “But when he asks Bob to be his best man, he gets a
very angry response!
“Then, Chris comes
up trumps when he says Terry and Dawn can rent a house in the village.
It
is definitely not going
to be easy, but Terry is convinced he and Dawn can make a go of life
together.”

IT'S no surprise that tears are shed in the Dales on Terry
and his young bride Dawn’s wedding day.
As one marriage begins, it could be the end of another. Fists
fly when father-of-the-bride Bob accuses Viv of cheating on
him.
“Bob doesn’t know if he’s coming or going,” says Tony Audenshaw,
who plays Viv’s harassed hubby.
“He’s so wound up about Dawn and Terry he doesn’t think about
his own marriage. His ex-wife Jean is out to cause trouble
and she tells him Viv slept with limo driver, Matti.”
Bob thought it was Steph who had been steaming up the windows
on Tricia’s hen night, but when he asks Diane, the look on
her face tells him the truth. “He is absolutely shattered,” says
Tony.
“He loves Viv and has been totally faithful to her. And he
is also desperate to stop Dawn marrying ‘Mr Wrong’.”
But Dawn’s mind is made up. And she is thrilled when Jean
books a limo for her. Jean is so keen to cause trouble between
Viv and Bob she deliberately hires rent-a-car Romeo Matti.
As the service starts, Bob rushes in and demands the wedding
be stopped. Dawn stands up to him and Terry tells Bob his own
marriage is an example of how a couple can find happiness.
“That tips Bob right over the edge,” says Tony. “He just blurts
out that his own marriage is nothing to go by because Viv slept
with the limo driver.”
As Jean smirks in triumph and Viv pleads with her husband,
Bob belts Matti and storms off.
Next day, Terry pleads with Bob not to leave the village.
“He agrees but can’t find it in himself to forgive Viv, even though he does still
love her,” explains Tony. “Bob suggests they separate for a while. Jean asks
Bob to go to Spain with her but he turns her down.
“He might not know what is going to happen to his marriage,
but he is never going back to Jean!” |

Terry Woods is worried about his new bride Dawn Hope.
Having married the much younger girl, Terry was convinced
that love would bridge the age gap but now he’s not
so sure. Dawn is exasperated at how lazy and unfit
her husband is and sets about trying to get him into
shape. But Terry is happy as he is and wishes that
his wife could be equally as content.
After a string of romantic disasters, Terry’s insecurity
about his failings flares up and he questions if he
is the right man for Dawn after all.
The void between the pair leads Terry to return to
his old role of confident to Louise Appleton. Although
marriage appears to have cured him of the passionate
unrequited love he felt for the pretty barmaid, Terry
still has a soft spot for her.
But eagle-eyed Dawn is bound to notice if his relationship
with the blonde bombshell begins to hot up again. And
some life-changing news is just around the corner for
the troubled couple.

Wednesday | 23.04.03
Woolpack landlady Diane Blackstock is in for a shock tonight.
The brassy barmaid is the first person to know about the torrid
affair between Louise and Ronnie – and she doesn’t like it.
Temperatures soared over the weekend as Louise and Ronnie
gave into their passion but both of them see the liaison as
no big deal.
However, Diane knows only too well the pain that affairs can
cause and is disgusted by Louise’s devil-may-care attitude.
Diane had thought that since her fiancé Ray Mullen’s death,
Louise had revealed her true self to her. But the cold attitude
Louise displays when discussing the life-changing romance leaves
Diane wondering if she ever knew her at all.
And viewers will be left asking the same question in coming
weeks. Not content with her trysts with Ronnie, Louise begins
to play games with Terry Woods as well.
Newlywed Terry, who used to have a major unrequited crush
on Louise, is perplexed when Louise starts paying him attention.
Will he fall into her web of deceit too? |
|
Newlywed Dawn gives
husband Terry a shock when she tells him
he is going to be a father, but he manages to convince his
bride that he is pleased.
“Dawn is over the moon,” says Julia Mallam,
who plays her. “But she sees something is troubling Terry.
He admits he is concerned for Louise but insists his feelings
are purely platonic. It’s the last thing Dawn wants to hear,
but she believes Terry when he seems delighted that they’re
having a baby.”
Dawn’s dad Bob is stunned. “Bob
thinks it was a shotgun wedding,” says Julia. “But Dawn tells
him, very forcefully, that she and Terry only wed because
they love each other. Bob’s wife Viv doesn’t
take it at all well. I don’t think she sees herself as a
grandma!”
Terry realises he’s got to keep himself
in shape and starts jogging again. Bob joins him and the
two bond as Bob sees how much Terry loves Dawn.
Viv tries her best to accept the news
but she snaps when Nicola tells her she’d
make a perfect grandmother.
But Dawn is blissfully happy. “She is
suspicious about Terry’s feelings for his ‘friend’ Louise,” says
Julia, “but she’s sure the baby will bring them closer.” |

Emmerdale newlywed Dawn Woods has big news for husband Terry.
The pretty local has felt ill for the last week and she is convinced it can
mean only one thing - she's pregnant.
And when a test confirms the news, Dawn starts to worry about
how the revelation will affect her fledgling marriage. Especially
since Terry has become preoccupied with his former love interest
landlady Louise Appleton.
Julia Mallam, who plays the young mum-to-be, says, "When Dawn
realises she may be pregnant, it's a pretty emotional moment.
Dawn and Terry haven't been arguing, but there has been a little
bit of friction between them because Terry is so overprotective
of Louise.
"So, what should be a happy moment is marred by the fact her
husband is always harping on about another woman.
"But Terry reassures her that Louise is just a friend. It
does placate her - but both Terry and Dawn are worried about
what the other is thinking.
"They weren't planning on starting a family yet - they've
only just got married. But neither is talking about what's
really bothering them in case they don't get the response they
were hoping for."
Will the news make or break the troubled twosome? |

Pregnant newlywed Dawn is convinced that having a baby will
help her and Terry bridge the generation gap between them. But
when a medical threat to their unborn child emerges, the marriage
is instantly in crisis.
“Dawn couldn’t be happier to be pregnant,” says
Julia Mallam, who plays the expectant teen.
“Although the baby wasn’t planned, they both want
a family. And Dawn thinks it will help them put the problems
of the past behind them.”
But alarm bells ring when Joseph Tate’s young French visitor
Anton goes down with German measles.
“Dawn has had contact with Anton,” says Julia. “And
Diane points out that German measles can be dangerous for pregnant
women.
“This worries Dawn because she hasn’t been immunised.
Terry is concerned and takes her to the doctor to have some tests.
“It turns out Dawn has contracted German measles, which
means their baby could be born deaf. Dawn is devastated.”
Terry is also upset but doesn’t know how to handle Dawn’s
despair. “Terry says he’ll be there for her whatever,
and Dawn is even more upset. She thinks maybe Terry wants her
to have an abortion. It’s like a horrible nightmare.”

Expectant mum Dawn is set to face a health crisis.
The young newlywed has unwittingly put herself and her unborn
baby in grave danger and it could end in heartbreak for them.
The trouble starts when Dawn spends time at Home Farm with Chris Tate's young
son Joseph and his friend. The pal suddenly comes down with a bout of German
measles and is rushed to hospital – much to the distress of those around
him.
When Dawn's husband Terry Woods finds out about the incident he is terribly
worried. Aware that the illness could pose a real threat to his new family,
he begs Dawn to consult her doctor.
Terrified Dawn does what he says and so begins their anxious wait to see what
will happen.
Actress Julia Mallam – who plays the pregnant Dawn – is glad the
soap is tackling such issues.
She says, "When people chat to me it makes me realise how much they enjoy
watching the show, and how important storylines like this are in soap as they
raise public awareness."
Woods’ Woes
Thursday | 12.06.03
Emmerdale's Terry and Dawn Woods are devastated after recent events.
The newly-wed twosome had feared the worst when they discovered that pregnant
Dawn had been exposed to German measles by an ailing child.
And after their trip to the doctor’s last night, both are numb at the
thought that their unborn child could be rendered deaf by the illness.
The odd couple have only been married for a few months but throughout their
turbulent romance – Dawn's father Bob was furious at the love match – they
have been able to count on each other.
But this latest revelation knocks them for six and both retreat into their
own little worlds to try and make sense of the dilemma.
Although their baby was unplanned both Terry and Dawn were delighted when
they discovered they were about to become parents. And Dawn can hardly bear
the thought of having to give up their plans of a happy family life.
Unfortunately, Terry's negative reaction leads her to believe that he wants
her to get rid of the baby.
Will the tormented duo decide is right for Woods Jnr?

Terry Woods arrives home unaware he's a man in demand.
The newlywed father-to-be has no clue that his previously
unrequited feelings for Woolpack landlady Louise Appleton
are about to come to fruition.
And the change in circumstances could not have come at a worse time for Terry
as he and his wife Dawn try to come to terms with the possibility their new
baby could be born deaf.
However, Dawn's fragile condition and Terry's obvious devotion to his wife
are no deterrent to loopy Louise – who has transformed into a maneater
in recent months.
Her new penchant for married men is worrying her best pal Diane, who has been
unsuccessfully warning her off.
But with Terry back in Emmerdale displaying signs that he is not quite over
his infatuation with the blonde bombshell, Louise is finding it hard to contain
her emotions.
Actress Emily Symons, who plays her, explains, "Louise thinks Terry would
be putty in her hands. She thinks he must still be holding a torch for her
and wants to talk to him about how she feels.
"But when she tells Diane this, she tells Louise that Terry and Dawn
are made for each other, and that she should leave well alone."
Will Louise take the sage advice on board?

Emmerdale's Terry Woods fears for his future after Louise's revelations.
The newlywed chauffeur is horrified tonight when pal Diane
Blackstock marches round to see him and demands to know the
whole truth.
Diane is still reeling from Louise's confession that she murdered
Ray and Terry helped her cover up the crime. She needs answers
and, feeling she can no longer trust Louise, she decides to
confront Terry herself.
And his reaction is one of absolute terror when he realises
the terrible secret is now in her hands. And Diane is in no
mood to be messed with.
She is sickened that Terry helped Louise to create a bond
between them – with a view to embarking on a romance
with her.
And now Terry is happily married to young wife Dawn and has
a baby on the way, he is distraught that his past could destroy
his family.
He is also angry that Louise could have confided in Diane
about something so important – risking both their futures.
Will Terry prevent Diane from going to the police? |
Emmerdale businessman Chris Tate could be fighting for his life.
A scan at the hospital has revealed an abnormality in Chris'
brain and he could be facing a potentially fatal health crisis.
To make matters worse, the bad-tempered haulage boss has alienated
all those close to him so he is unable to confide his fears
to anyone.
After wife Charity began to spend more time with ex-flame
Cain Dingle, Chris realised he had no trust in her and sister
Zoe is too consumed by her own problems to cope with his.
The only person with a sympathetic ear to lend is his employee
Terry Woods. His relationship with Terry has been strained
over the last couple of weeks. When Chris instructed the mild-mannered
chauffeur to beat up love rival Cain, Terry responded by refusing
and telling Charity about his plan.
But tonight, Terry shows his true colours to his miserable
employer. On a trip to Leeds, Terry notices Chris is in bad
spirits and spends the day trying to find out what's wrong.
When Chris admits his terrible secret, his kindly pal offers
to lend support at the next hospital appointment.
Will Chris allow Terry to be his tower of strength? |
Emmerdale's Terry Woods faces a moral dilemma of epic proportions.
Terry is trying to allay Chris Tate's fears that Charity is
cheating on him, even though he has evidence to the contrary.
The kindly chauffeur is the only person terminally ill Chris
can trust as his life spirals out of control. It was Terry
who accompanied Chris to the heartbreaking doctor's appointment
that confirmed his brain tumour was fatal and he has been a
tower of strength to the dying businessman.
Until now, Terry has dismissed Chris' paranoia that wife Charity
is conducting an affair with Cain Dingle as mere fantasy. But
after a trip to Pear Tree cottage, he finds evidence that may
confirm the wheelchair-bound businessman's fears.
When Terry stumbles upon one of Charity's necklaces in the
cottage he wonders why she would have visited the property
and what she could have been doing to lose her trinket.
In a crisis of conscience Terry tries to decide whether he
should reveal his discovery to Chris - who has only weeks to
live.
Will Terry confirm Chris' worst nightmares? |
Emmerdale's Chris Tate lashes out a loyal pal Terry Woods.
The fatally ill businessman is struggling to cope after the
confirmation of wife Charity's affair so vents his fury on
employee Terry.
Terry is astonished to find himself of the receiving end of
Chris' anger. He has been the only person who the disabled
Tate has confided in since he discovered he had only weeks
to live. But the pressure of being privy to such information
is taking it's toll of Terry.
And this time Chris pushes the mild-mannered man too far.
Actor Peter Amory - who plays the torn Tate - explains, "Selfishly,
he has a real go at Terry, which is typical of Chris - he opens
his mouth before engaging his brain. And when he realises that
Terry has discussed his suspicions with his wife, Dawn, Chris
insinuates that she can't be trusted either, prompting Terry
to storm out."
But after Terry leaves Chris decides to dish out his revenge
on his cheating spouse. Armed with a gun and all the evidence
he needs that she has been unfaithful - Chris waits for her
to return.

Emmerdale stroke victim Terry Woods gets himself a new nurse.
The onetime chauffeur has spent the last few months in hospital after collapsing
following the traumatic birth of his baby son TJ.
But thanks to a dedicated medical team and the support of young wife Dawn
- Terry’s condition is slowly getting better.
However, thanks to his frustration and jealousy, Terry managed to ruin Dawn’s
Christmas by accusing local hunk Scott Windsor of making a move on her. Following
the embarrassing incident, Terry repented and told Dawn to take a break from
him by going to visit her mother in Spain.
So when doctors tell Terry he can now go home, the lonely patient has no-one
to take care of him.
Luckily for Terry, there’s always one man he can count on. His pal Bob
Hope - Dawn’s dad - is only too happy to offer his services until Dawn
returns and promptly agrees to move into the couple’s house.
But considering Bob’s opposition to Terry and Dawn’s marriage,
it looks like life for the Dales' odd couple could get complicated...

Terry Woods is in the middle of a difficult situation.
The recovering chauffeur has only just left hospital following his debilitating
stroke but is already involved in a tricky and explosive row.
Before his stroke - and employer Chris Tate’s death - Terry was the
person who the terminally-ill tycoon confided in.
In the last few months of his life, Chris’ relationship with wife Charity
broke down and he discovered she was cheating on him with old love Cain Dingle.
Chris framed Charity for his murder as revenge and now the desperate woman
is exploring every avenue which could prove her innocence.
And after a very unsuccessful attempt to prise information out of Chris’s
sister Zoe, Charity approaches Terry to beg him to search his memory.
However, Terry feels a huge loyalty towards Chris and Zoe, so tells Charity
that she is wasting her time in trying to get him on side.
But knowing the extent of Chris’s fury, can Terry really be sure he
didn’t set his cheating wife up?

Emmerdale’s Terry Woods has family and work woes to overcome.
"The recovering stroke victim wants to return
to his previous lifestyle but his illness prevents
him from being able to handle work.
"So when boss Zoe Tate finds him asleep at
his desk, she orders him to go home and insists
he cannot work in his condition.
"Unable to break the news to loyal young
wife Dawn, Terry heads for the Woolpack - but it’s
only a matter of time before his spouse discovers
where he is..
And when she finds him drunk during the working
day, Dawn is convinced Terry is not taking his
work seriously.
Actress Julia Mallam explains, "Dawn is clueless
that Terry has been sent home and she’s furious
when she hears he’s in the pub.
"However, she understands that it might take
time to adjust to working for Zoe - but she doesn’t
suspect for a minute that Terry might have lost
his job."
Will Dawn discover Terry’s humiliating secret?
Emmerdale's Dawn Woods finally discovers her
husband Terry's work secret.
The stressed-out mum had been delighted when her
stroke victim spouse returned to work for former
employer Zoe Tate at Home Farm.
But what Dawn doesn't know is that Terry's slow
recovery has forced Zoe to insist he takes more
time off, leaving the defeated man even more depressed.
However, when Zak Dingle accidentally offers his
sympathy to Dawn over Terry's predicament, the
pretty youngster explodes in fury.
Actress Julia Mallam, who plays devoted Dawn,
says, "Dawn is in total shock when Zoe says
sorry because as far as she's concerned Terry has
been going to work as normal.
"Dawn is really hurt - she can't believe
that after everything they've been through, Terry's
done this. So when he refuses to apologise, it's
the final straw. She tells him to get a grip and
walks out."
Is it the end of the line for the luckless couple?

A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP?
DAWN upsets her stroke-victim husband, Terry, when
she accepts Scott’s offer of a job at Home Farm.
Terry is furious and insists she doesn’t need
to work. But Dawn takes the job anyway and finds herself
kissing Scott when they share a drink after work.
Afterwards, Dawn rushes guiltily home to troubled
Terry. The couple try desperately hard to solve their
bedroom problems but fail dismally and Terry loses
his temper.
"It’s a difficult week for Dawn and Terry," says
Julia Mallam, who plays Dawn. "Terry’s determined
to be the man of the house and provide for his family,
but he’s just not well enough to work yet. It’s
obvious Dawn should take the job but Terry can’t
see it. He’s very frustrated and angry."
Scott knows Zoe needs an assistant and he suggests
Dawn. It seems the perfect solution but, when Scott
comes up with the idea at a family meal at Viv’s,
Terry flies off the handle.
"Dawn wants to do the job," says Julia. "Terry
insists she doesn’t need to work, but she does.
They need the cash. When Terry hears her say that,
he’s so angry he storms out.
"But Dawn sees an escape from her domestic drudgery
and tells Scott she’ll start the next day.
"She is very determined and Terry is even more
upset when, in the morning, she gives TJ to Viv to
look after on the grounds that Terry is still too ill.
"At work, Scott is flirty with her and she enjoys
it, but declines the offer of a drink with him afterwards
as she has to pick up the baby."
The next day she leaves TJ with Viv again in spite
of Terry’s protests.
After Dawn’s gone, Terry marches round to Viv’s
and demands his son back. Dawn decides not to rush
home and Terry has a hard time looking after a screaming
TJ.
"Dawn agrees to an after-work drink with Scott," says
Julia. "She relaxes and admits that her sex life
has been non-existent since Terry’s stroke.
"Somehow she finds herself kissing Scott - and
enjoying it. But then she realises what she’s
done and panics. She gets upset and rushes off home."
Next day she doesn’t feel she can face Scott,
but when she hears him flirting on the phone she feels
jealous.
"That night she tries again to help Terry make
love to her, but it doesn’t work out," says
Julia. "He’s angry and frustrated and smashes
up a photo of his old, fit self.
"Dawn tries to cheer him up. She still wants
their marriage to work, despite their problems."

Dawn Woods finally gives into temptation
and kisses Emmerdale's Scott Windsor.
And Dawn's the one to initiate the
kiss, despite Scott's reputation as the village love
rat.
The kiss comes after Dawn lands a job
at Home Farm to help cover for Terry who is recovering
after a stroke.
Dawn moves in for the kiss after going
for a drink with Scott at the end of her shift.
But the young mum, played by Julia
Mallam, is overcome with guilt and hurries home to husband
Terry and baby TJ.
"I think Dawn kisses him because she's
down in the dumps over her marriage to Terry, which is
extremely rocky at the moment," Julia told Inside Soap
magazine.
"Dawn feels physically sick after she
kisses Scott and she can't believe what she has done," said
the actress, who has just signed her contract with the
soap for another year.
But Julia reveals that viewers who
are expecting the pair to embark on a passionate affair
will be disappointed.
"This doesn't go further than a kiss
and I'm quite happy that Dawn retains her integrity throughout
it all," said Julia.
The coming months see Dawn taking control
and making some life changing decisions which could change

Elsewhere, there are other tales of sexual indiscretions and
harsh punishments. Dawn makes the mistake of telling Terry
she was tempted to sleep with vile Scott and her husband boots
her out.
'What marriage?' Terry barks. 'One you'd risk for an afternoon
bunk-up in the back of a car?'
EMMERDALE
Sun to Fri - ITV1
EVEN though everyone said her marriage wouldn’t last, Dawn just
wouldn’t have it.
But since Terry had his stroke, being married to an older
man and bringing up a baby has made her miserable.
Desperate for some passion, she decides to sleep with Scott.
The encounter doesn’t happen, but it does lead to a furious row with Terry,
after which she decides to end her marriage and head to Spain with their son, TJ.
" It’s a horrible week," says Julia Mallam, who plays disillusioned Dawn. "Scott
means nothing to her but she’s fallen out of love with Terry."
Now Terry has his print shop job he thinks he should provide for his wife so
he makes Dawn give up work at Home Farm.
" Scott takes Dawn’s wages round and there is a lot of sexual tension between
them," says Julia.
They agree to meet later, but then Scott is kidnapped by the Dingles because
of his part in Cain’s arrest. They tie him up, blindfold him
and leave him on a platform they’ve built on the cricket field, telling him
he’s on the edge of a cliff. Villagers find him there the next morning as his
terror turns into humiliation.
Later, in the pub, Terry suggests a holiday but Dawn says their problems are
too bad for that.
" She admits she was going to sleep with another man and Terry follows her gaze
and realises she means Scott," says Julia. "They argue and Terry storms home,
hurls a suitcase at Dawn and slams the door on her."
Terry tries to make it up to her the next day, but Dawn says she doesn’t love
him and gets ready to take little TJ back to her mum in Spain.
But Terry is furious.
" He won’t let her take TJ," says Julia. "He sees a solicitor and then calls
the police. Dawn finds that she can’t take her own son abroad without Terry’s
permission.".

between Terry and his pal Louise Appleton. The
blonde landlady confessed she had feelings for
Terry and kissed him passionately, before he
pushed her away and explained it was too soon.
But Bob thinks the pair are engaged in a raunchy
affair, and has passed his suspicions onto Dawn
- who reacts violently to the news.
Actor Billy Hartman, who plays Terry, explains, "Bob
has already told Dawn what he saw the night before,
and she automatically assumes that Terry and
Louise are having an affair.
"Obviously Terry has no idea that anyone knows
about the kiss, so when Dawn refuses share a
cab with him to court, to sort out access to
TJ, he's a bit confused.
"They'd been getting on much better up to this
point - so when she stands up in court and claims
Terry is unfit to be a father after his stroke,
he's completely devastated."
