[edit] About Bob
Bob arrived in Emmerdale in 2000 as a representative for Naughty Nylons. Viv Windsor and he were attracted to each other and got together. Bob moved in with her and tried to make friends with her daughter Donna. He proposed to her when he was drunk, but they still got married. Bob then had to deal with his daughter Dawn turning up and getting engaged to his friend, the much older Terry Woods. Viv and Bob were divorced in 2005 but in the same year became engaged again and married on February 15, 2006.
[edit] Wives
Bob has been married six times to four women, he was first married to Jean Hope, whom he has married twice, the mother of his eldest children Dawn and Jamie, but the marriage ended in divorce when he walked out. His second wife was Barbara Hope, again they had two children Josh and Carly but this marriage again ended in divorce when he walked out. His third marriage was to American exotic dancer, Vonda, this was a disaster as they were only married for 24 hours, again this ended in divorce but Vonda gave birth to a daughter, Roxy that he didn't know about until she was tracked down by Viv. Finally his fourth and final wife was Viv Hope, whom he married for the first time in 2001 but it ended in divorce in 2005, but they remarried on 15th February 2006.
[edit] Dawn's death
Bob was left devastated when his daughter Dawn died because of an explosion in the King's River Show Home. When Bob learned that the Kings were responsible for the collapse, because of negligence on Jimmy’s part, Bob began a serious vendetta against them especially the patriarch Tom. This consisted of staking out Home Farm to learn Tom’s movements and even one time tried to run down Tom, twice, on Main Street. When Tom was killed on Christmas Day Bob was the prime suspect and arrested but eventually released through lack of evidence. However, he remains a suspect.
[edit] Twins
When Bob and Viv married for the second time, they declared that they were going to try for a baby. This, however, proved difficult because of their age. All seemed lost when Dr. Adam Forsythe said Viv was going through the menopause. On the day of Dawn’s funeral Viv was feeling very unwell, for which Bob believed alcohol was the cause but when she collapsed, unbeknownst to Bob, daughter Donna brought her to the hospital and they found out that Viv was pregnant. Since Dawn died Bob declared time and time again that he didn’t want any more children, so Viv felt she had no alternative but to have an abortion, but Bob found out just in time and they decided to keep the baby. When Viv went in for a routine scan she learned that she was carrying twins, which was a shock to both. Viv gave birth to the twins, Cathy and Heathcliffe in a shack on the moors, hence the babies' names, after Bob thought that Emily Kirk ran off with the twins he quit his job at the Woolpack to be a 'stay at home father'
