Adele's Pregnancy and Termination
Adele decided that she did not wish to continue with the pregnancy and decided to have an abortion. Her catholic stepmother was opposed to this but her father, Marty supported this idea. Mick and Marty eneded up fighting in the Close over the issue. When Mick told Leo however Leo was supportive and said he would bring-up the child and support Adele. Despite Leo's promise Adele was determined to go ahead with the abortion and went ahead and had a termination, later leaving the Close to attend the University of Leeds. Shortly afterwards Mick also left the close for London.
