Mary Harkinson was the estranged daughter of Derek Harkinson. She had not seen her father since he walked out on her mother, Cynthia, to live with another man, Robert. When Derek's friend Pauline Fowler found out that Derek had children, she contacted Mary without telling Derek. Mary initially agreed to meet with Derek, but shut the door in his face when he arrived at her house. Derek eventually persuaded Mary to see him, and they met, along with Mary's brother Alex and his son Danny. Derek later left Walford to live with Mary after a string of arguments with Pauline.

Famous quotes containing the word mary:
“The first general store opened on the ‘Cold Saturday’ of the winter of 1833 ... Mrs. Mary Miller, daughter of the store’s promoter, recorded in a letter: ‘Chickens and birds fell dead from their roosts, cows ran bellowing through the streets’; but she failed to state what effect the freeze had on the gala occasion of the store opening.”
