Michelle Fowler
Sharon encourages Michelle to make amends with Martin and Ian, but neither of them are interested; Michelle talks to Bex, who says Michelle let herself down and the old Michelle that Bex used to look up to would hate this Michelle, and that she ruined everything she worked for; Michelle cries in Sharon's arms, saying she no longer knows herself. Ian eventually forgives Michelle but Martin still refuses to speak to her. Michelle attempts to find work in schools, without any luck. Stacey invites Michelle to a family meal but Martin says Michelle is only pretending to care about her family, and tells her that she is not the big sister he used to look up to. Michelle starts community service and hears that Tim wants a divorce, and she tries to avoid the issue. Eventually, Martin and Michelle start to talk again but he is still angry that she has behaved like a teenager. Michelle then realises that she needs to apply for other jobs so enquires about a sales assistant job, which she successfully obtains. Whilst travelling to work Michelle meets Tom Bailey (Daniel Casey) on the tube and she eventually gets the courage to ask him to go out on a date. Although they get along well, Michelle later loses interest in Tom and decides to reject him. He does not react well and begins to stalk her by sending her flowers and chocolates. Michelle tries to move on and goes on a date with a man but does not hear from him again, unaware that Tom has threatened him. Michelle later invites Tom around for dinner in an attempt to get rid of him for good. When he starts to try and kiss Michelle, Sharon, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) hit him over the head with a vase and confront him about lying to Michelle about his wife being dead, after which he finally leaves. Michelle later decides to spend Christmas with her daughter Vicki in Australia.
