Douglas Baker is a former vicar who lost his faith in God. His mother, Margot, was friends with Dot Branning. He was also a former playmate of Dot's son Nick, until Nick put a frog down his trousers. Margot died in March 2007, and Douglas was clearing out her house when Dot visited him. They argued about religion, and Dot reminded Douglas of his mother. He told Dot he was glad his mother was dead, and said that Nick would feel the same when she died.

Famous quotes containing the words douglas and/or baker:
“Annie Laurie
Gie’d me her promise true;
Gie’d me her promise true,
Which ne’er forgot will be;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I’d lay me doune and dee.”
—William Douglas (1672?–1748)
“Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
