Myra McQueen was sat at home enjoying an unusually empty and peaceful house, with having six kids and being home alone for once. Carmel was working at the salon, John Paul at university although he did still live at home, Michaela her youngest was at school studying her GCSE's and no doubt getting herself into trouble, Mercy and Jacqui were proberly on the rob again and Tina was off doing her own thing with Dom as she lives with him although she still visits home regularly.
It was times when Myra was alone that she would think how much of a mess her life was, by having six kids to three different fathers. Myra loved her kids and they were the most important thing in the world to her but she felt that all kids should have a dad in their life however this wasn't the case with her kids. Their dads didn't want anything to do with them. When Jacqui was born Myra and Tom stayed together and raised her together, their relationship started to go downhill when Myra had Mercy so they then split up. Tina was the product of a one night stand and Myra never even got his name let alone see him again, he doesn't even know Tina exists. When it came to Carmel's, John Pauls and Michaela's dad Myra thought she had finally found the one as he got on well with all of her kids. But then he started to let out his anger on the kids as well as Myra and used to beat them this was one part of the reason he left and the other reason Myra didn't enjoy thinking about.
Myra had brought them up by herself and when Jacqui and Mercy were older they helped her with the younger ones. Myra knew she could provide and teach her children the basic skills for life but she couldn't help thinking sometimes that maybe the lack of a father figure in her children life's caused some of them to be more wild and rebellious than others. Tina had always been the quietest McQueen and was nothing like the families reputation. Carmel and John Paul had also been more well behaved but still had their moments like John Paul coming out as gay which at first really disappointed Myra and Carmel having an affair with her sister's husband. Whereas Jacqui, Mercy and Michaela had always been the most rebellious and difficult to raise for Myra although she didn't love them any less for this. Jacqui had been in prison and Mercy had always been a flirt and promiscuous which often got her in trouble and Michaela was always getting into fights with her siblings as well as people at school and had already been expelled from three other schools but has seemed to have settled down at Hollyoaks high although she had been suspended a couple of times.
