Character Development
Terry was once married to a bank robber, Gordon Miller (Red Symons). She arrives in Ramsay Street after getting a job with Max (Francis Bell). Terry forms "some kind of attachment" to Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien), which makes his aunt, Madge (Anne Charleston), uncomfortable. Terry starts dating Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), but their relationship does not begin well as she is still in love with Shane, who now dating her best friend Daphne Lawrence (Elaine Smith). Paul is late to their wedding and Terry spends the ceremony and the reception looking "cow-eyed" at Shane. Terry later tries to trick Paul out of his money and she shoots him. Their relationship ended in "heartache, attempted murder and inevitable divorce." Terry is sent to prison and the BBC said Terry "suffered in the long run." Terry takes her own life off screen in 1986 and remains the only character to have died this way.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or development:
“Foolish, whenever you take the meanness and formality of that thing you do, instead of converting it into the obedient spiracle of your character and aims.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
