Storylines

Trigger King

In late January 2010 Karen Hollins, Rob's wife, was approached by Gerry Cutler who was the father of a University friend of Jack. He asked if Lewis, his son, could stay at their house over the Easter holidays as he was going away. Karen accepted but unfortunately, unaware to Karen, Rob, Immie & Jack, Lewis had serious mental health problems. As the week continued, these problems increasingly came clear, but Lewis covered his tracks very easily. Imogen was the first to notice it, she tried to warn her family, but they ignored her. Jack was the second member of the family to notice it but didn't say anything. Then Karen noticed a knife mark in her kitchen table. She knew it was Lewis. Imogen then realised that her art project was tampered with, by Lewis. She told her mum and they got worried. Jack was called to a fake interview at the University, Karen was very worried and went to the University, trying to find Jack. Amongst the hostages were Ellie, Sia, and Ned. Lewis was armed with a gun and shot Sia. Karen tried to talk Lewis out of killing them all, but it didn't work. Karen's husband, Rob came running up with a colleague and Dr. Simon Bond. Rob was called down but Simon stayed to help injured Sia. After a scream Rob came running back up and charged in. After a struggle with the gun Karen got the gun off Lewis and he was shot by a police officer. Lewis was killed. Karen, Rob, Jack & Immie all burnt Immie's art work the following day. Inspector Suresh told Rob off for running inside, saying he could lose his job.
