Grayson Sinclair - Leaving Storyline

Leaving Storyline

Angry at Katie's deception, he confronted her and demanded she give him custody of his son but Jonny intervened so Katie got away. She soon realised she was in labour and asked Matthew to collect Perdy and take her to hospital but it was too late and she gave birth in the car. Perdy left Gray a message, telling him what had happened. Katie was horrified when Perdy told her and gave the baby and the £20,000 to Perdy so they could leave. She convinced her (with Matthew's help), that she and the baby would be better off without Grayson. Matthew also distracted Gray so they could get away. Gray went after them but Perdy was already en route to the station. He got the hospital staff to phone the police and reported his son had been kidnapped. Katie told them Perdy was the baby's mother - she was just the surrogate - and gave them Perdy's mobile number. She confirmed that she and the baby were fine and asked them not to tell Gray where she was.

He sank into self-pity and got drunk constantly. Chas found Gray in a state and told Diane. She and Paul made him realise he had to pull himself together if he wanted to be a father and look for Perdy and the baby. Unfortunately Paul had promised Jonny that he wouldn't see Gray so when Jonny saw them together, he was upset. Gray saw him and, wanting to hurt Jonny, hugged Paul and thanked him for his help. Gray went out, looking for fun, but was caught by the police. They charged him with indecent behaviour and released him. While drunk, Gray locked himself and Katie into Victoria Cottage and demanded she tell him where Perdy was. Katie refused and escaped but he came after her, witnessed by Paul and Diane. He thought they would support him but Paul hit him for destroying his and Jonny's relationship. Nearly everyone saw this and when Donna and Ross arrived, Gray wanted Paul arrested. Unfortunately nobody backed him up.

Ostracized, Gray left the next day, warning Matthew and Chas he would be back. Chas told him to stay away from Katie unless he wanted to join Rosemary in the churchyard. Matthew laughed and told Gray that he could have had it all but it was his own fault that Katie left him and gave his baby away.
