Robert Preston & Michelle Connor
When Michelle was with Steve McDonald, they sadly lost their son, Ruairi, at 23 weeks. It was actually a very poignant storyline and played out beautifully. Robert’s shoulders were just what Michelle needed, to rest upon and when he admitted he was in love with her, she decided he was a much better prospect than Steve, who had been a very naughty boy with the lovely Leanne. The proof was in the pudding and it looked like Leanne had eaten every crumb of it. Not so, as little Oliver was waiting in there, ready to be born. Tracy was madly jealous that her ex, Robert, had chosen Michelle over her, but it was obviously a no brainer for him!
