EE: Sonia's Dad?
As Bianca's Dad has left and Sonia looks to be Carols new main focus, What do we know about Sonia's Dad and should he come into the square (if he can)?

Little is known of him. In fact, I think Carol and Sonia know little of him...
I think all they know is that Carol got jiggy one evening in the 1980's and nine months later Sonia + Trumpet came out kicking and screaming. Open book really. |

From Wikipedia Quote:
A man called Terry Cant was Sonia's father, who she did not know and never met
I always said Sonia was an annoying Cant

All of Carol's children were conceived in different circumstances:
Bianca - Fling between Carol and David Robbie - Engaged at 16 to Gary Bolton. Gary cheated and got another woman pregnant and abandoned Robbie, Bianca and Carol to marry that woman. Sonia - Sonia was a one-night-stand between Terry Cant and Carol Billie - Carol and Alan were in a long-term relationship. Bianca, Robbie and Sonia's last names were Branning before Jackson. When Carol met Alan, their last names were changed to Jackson before Billie was born. So they were named Bianca Branning, Robbie Branning and Sonia Branning. |

BIB: Maybe with this gene situation and David being part of Bianca's life (on and off) I hope Sonia decides to track him down soon. Could make a good story for Sonia and Carol (maybe Rebecca too) without the rest of the clan |

Sonia got the gene from Carol so she wouldn't need to tell her father or potential siblings she may have.

was there a story of Robbie trying to meet his dad or did I dream it?
I find it a bit bizarre..surely Carol could have at least asked for child support? |

For one thing you couldn't prove that a man was the child's father until dna testing - old style blood tests could prove if somebody wasn't if they were a different type but not that they certainly were. The CSA didn't exist so it would involve hiring a lawyer privately - something Carol wouldn't have had the money to do. Plus she was such an independent and prideful type that she probably just adopted the attitude of "if you don't( want us we don"t need you or your money". |

Yes there was - not that long after Carol and Alan left I think. IIRC, they met and liked each other well enough, Gary seemed keen to make some amends but when robbie discovered he had a brother virtually the same age as him and that was shy his Dad had left he decided he didn't really want to stay in touch.

I think the word you're looking for is 'proud'.

This. People (women) who did get child support tended to get it as part of a divorce settlement.
I think the word you're looking for is 'proud'. ![]() That's right because lawyers were involved in a divorce anyway and there was an automatic legitimacy to any children born during the union - they were deemed to be the husband's whether biologically proved or not, therefore his financial responsibility - as come to that was the wife, even after divorce in many cases. It is one of the many reasons why getting married if you fell pregnant was still considered to the only 'safe', 'responsible' and socially 'acceptable) thing to do by the majority of people, even as late as 30 years ago. There was still this awful attitude (though it was dyingg out) that it was the woman's fault if she ended up as a poor, single mother - she shoudn't have 'given it away' before being respectfully married or should have been more careful if she did. Not an attitude I agree with, takes 2 to tango but it was still around. |

If Sonia's dad isn't Nicholas Lyndhurst, I'll eat my hat.

I'm pretty sure Sonia's dad wasn't a one night stand, he was abusive and left or she chuck him out, When Bianca found out about her dad, they all asked her, very old episode though.

Oh yeah I remember that. I don't think Robbie's Dad was interested in him though.

And not once did she remark that Bianca's Terry shared a name with Sonia's elusive father?! Shoddy writing. Just shoddy.
