Break Up of The Grant Family
The Grant family started to break-up in 1987, first with Karen leaving to go to university in London. Then in November 1987 Damon was stabbed and died on Lendal Bridge in York. Sheila persuaded Barry not to go after revenge (something he didn't do until 2003 when Damon's murderers were released and he left the Close to track them down) but the strain this put on her caused a rift between her and Bobby. After months of tension Bobby left Sheila and left the soap in 1988.
