ED - does anyone remember this family?
Around the late 90s Emmerdale brought in a new middle class family (the mum was certainly posh anyway). They had 2 teenage daughters, the youngest of which had a baby girl at the age of 13 & left her on someone's doorstep. After a few days she collapsed & had to confess the baby was hers & she'd given birth alone in secret. This must have been before Sarah Lou in corrie had Bethany as I remember my mum was horrified because I was the same age at the time (must have been about 96/97) Also she originally called the baby Geri after ginger spice(!) before someone sensibly advised her to change it & she named her April. It later turned out that the father was her older sisters boyfriend who was in his early 20s. Its just been annoying me cos I can't remember the names of any of them or what happened to them?
Stories like this were why I used to love ED back in the day. They weren't afraid to be more controversial than CS & EE and often did things before they did but didn't get the same recognition which was annoying. I haven't watched ED for about 7 years but when I do see a bit now it seems to be about a lot of well dressed attractive people who are impeccably groomed going about having affairs & shouting at each other. It used to be a show that had a great blend of comedy, drama, day-to-day life & shocking moments before it became very same old same old. Anyway, sorry for the ramble I hope someone has some more info on that family.

It was before Corrie did the story with Sarah as well. Emma arrived in February 1997 and gave birth in March.
Emma took her home but eventually gave her up and followed her parents to Germany.
They were there (Emmerdale) for about a year and a half.
They weren't in it long were they?!
Then there was the son whose name I also forgot, but he worked in the antiques business with Rodney.
You mean the Daggerts
I had a real thing for Danny (the son) while he was there, that's how I remember!
Oh yes, Danny Daggert was very nice to look at.;-)
Back to the Cairns family, I remember the mum fancied Zoe Tate at one point!
Yes, he did.
Yes sam, I meant the Daggerts, Thank you.
Latisha,,that`s it. Thanks Wyezed,
As for the Daggarts I wasnt a fan but I remember the son going out with the police woman's daughter - that actress became Tyrone's missus Mollie in Corrie.
I only remember one thing about the Cairns family. The children came into the house while mum and dad were arguing about his secret service work or summat like that. They didnt want the children hearing so dad handed one of the kids a £20 note and said "go to the chippy and get our tea" " I just sat there wondering where the hell was the chippy? One had never ever been mentioned before
Yes he did, played the part of Mark Redman
