ED: Bernice's Kids
I know that Bernice has Gabby with Ashley, but on her Wikipedia page it says that she also has a daughter called Diane with a guy called Charlie??
What happened to this child when Bernice came back in 2012, is she living with her father. Is she ever mentioned??

She's reconnected with Gabby now but seems to have totally forgotten about her other daughter, just as she forgot Gabby existed for 10 years. |

Bernice has never been a good mum. She buggered off for several years and had essentially nothing to do with Gabby. Yet this often seems forgotten. Gabby and Bernice seems to have a good relationship for a mother and daughter which is surprising as they never bonded during those important years.
DeeDee gets the odd mention. I never knew why DeeDee stayed with the her ex and why she never went with Bernice. Maybe DeeDee will join the show in the near future as a sexy australian wild child teen. |

She abandon Gabby leaving her to be raised by Ashley after admitting she didn't have any maternal feelings towards her baby. It was only about a year or so after leaving Ashley/Gabby that it was revealed she had re-married and had another daughter - which was a bit of a kick in the teeth to Ashley. When she returned to the village in 2012 with her new fella it was revealed she had cheated on husband Charlie with this new bloke and walked out on him and their daughter. Thus doing exactly the same thing she had done to Ashley.

Is remember it vividly as I was pregnant at the time. Bernice could not cope with motherhood. It's likely she has PND but she not only didn't bond she couldn't cope at all. I remember her locking herself away and crying because she just could not bond with Gabby and couldn't be a mother to her. It was better for Gabby to be with her Dad than a mum who felt nothing for her and couldn't bring her up. It wasn't that she just walked out with no second thought. It's a shame she was written to do the same with DeeDee who she had bonded with and was a mother to. She did see Gabby over the years - Diane took her to visit seeing as the actress wasn't in the show. Bernice did what she thought was best for her daughter rather than a child being brought up by someone who didn't care for her or want to be around her. At the time it was well done and really sad.

Bernice did struggle to bond and you have to wonder if it's better to have a parent there who doesn't want to be, who is perhaps cold are unfeeling towards you rather than go and leave you with a parent who quite obviously loves and adores you? Yes leaving your child is seen as 'un-motherly' and I couldn't have done it myself but then again I've never been in Bernice's position, I've never walked in those shoes of not being able to bond. I'm always the first to say when I hear of women dumping their kids on social services/fathers/relatives and people are giving her grief, calling her a crap mother that it's better that than possibly harming them. Not all women are cut out to be mothers, or at least mothers to babies and young children and get on much better with their kids when they're teens/adults. I do think that Bernice is a bit selfish by nature but plenty women like that still bond with their children but Bernice seemed incapable. The thing I find/found oddest about this situation is the Laurel did most of the mothering of Gabby until Bernice returned, she was her mother in all but genetics, yet Gabby barely interacted with Laurel after she left for Bernice's and even now she could just be her dad's new wife who she hasn't really had much to do with, yet surely Laurel and Gabby would have quite a strong bond? I remember Laurel being upset that Gabby didn't want to live with her when she moved onto Marlon (who could blame her lol!) but Gabby was off without a backward glance! I find this more preposterous than anything else TBH. |

Lawrence did take her to Australia to see her other daughter - that was where he proposed to her.

Diane (known as Dee-Dee) took her father's side when Bernice walked out. When Bernice first came back there were scenes of Bernice trying to talk to her younger daughter on the phone.
I have a notion that once Bernice was settled back in the village she intended for Dee-Dee to join her. But Dee-Dee was having none of it and wanted to go to Australia with her Dad. Bernice reluctantly agreed as she knew that is what Dee-Dee really wanted. So other than cheating on Charlie, she did what she thought was best for Dee-Dee like she had for Gabby all those years before. I have some notion that Diane Snr. considered moving to Australia with Charlie and Dee-Dee. None of it is black and white. |
