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.

“I’m an empress.
I wear an apron.
My typewriter writes.

Even crazy, I’m as nice

“Grant me profits only, grant me the joy of profit made,
and see to it that I enjoy cheating the buyer!”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. Virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
