A year in which the station was still up and running, a year when the Sun Hill Metropolitan Police station was at the heart of the community, and the same year to people lives would change forever. This police station was pretty much like any other, like most stations it had a Superintendent in the name of Adam Okaro, a principled, civilized human being. Then there was the one and only chain – smoking Gina Gold, Sun Hill's tough fighting Inspector who had the capacity of terrifying every rank of officer on her relief. Not to mention Sun Hill's DCI and Ambitious DI who would go to any length to climb the ladder to Superintendent. There was also the Sergeants and Detective Sergeants. Now everybody loved Sgt. Smith or as he prefers it and the rest of the station call him Smithy. He's loyal and very easy to get on with and hates anyone who doesn't take responsibly for there own actions. Then there's DS Debbie McAllister, Scheming, manipulative but utterly irresistible she hid the traits of Cruella De Vil behind the face of Cinderella. Then they're the large variety of DC's and PC's. DC Eva Sharp, a straightforward working – class girl, who could get on with anybody, with the acceptation of DI Manson however. PC Reg Hollis, one of life's great monars, loves to listen to gossip and is always ready to irritate unwanted doom and gloom around the Nick. Gary Best, if you gave him a penny for his thought's you'd get change it's not that he's stupid, but that's not all ways the case it's just he has a tendency to run around like a headless chicken. DC Thatcher, a womanizer and a lady's man, I don't think Phil Hunter liked the competition. PC Tony Stamp loves his job … but then he must considering that he has been shot at, stabbed, beaten up half a dozen times, tried of causing death by dangerous driving and been accused of child abuse. However Tony's one of theses people you find hard not to get on with. But the two officers that I'm talking about or those of Sergeant Sheelagh Murphy, who is the perfect mother figure, having brought up two family's having a husband and three kids, and sees the good in everyone no matter what who's liked by and can get on with every. And PC Des Taviner, a womanizer, bigot and an Area Car driver with an inflated sense of his own importance. Sheelagh and Des were one pair you would not expect to become a couple, however the two started a reckless romance which in time aroused the suspicions of there colleagues Gina and Reg. However on the day of Sheelagh's wedding anniversary Des dropped her a bombshell full of shock and surprise, he told her he loved her. However it looked at one point that Sheelagh's marriage could have been over when Sheelagh's husband Patrick showed up at the station to give his wife as surprise on there anniversary, he was shown to Sheelagh's office by Adam Okaro who opened the door to find Des and Sheelagh in an extremely compromising potion against a filling cabinet! Adam managed to steer Patrick away from the office but there secret was out. After Adam had given them a … "I don't want to be dealing with your caprices" lecture, Des had a choice Sheelagh or his mates, so when he chooses his mates, Sheelagh told them that from then on there relationship was to be strictly professional. However the tables backfired when she told her colleague and best friend PC Jenny Taylor that she was pregnant. Jenny, who knew about the fact that she and Des had been an item, knew straight away who the father was. Urged Sheelagh to tell the Inspector. "You have got to got to Insp. Gold and tell her you want to be put on restricted duties otherwise your putting yourself and your colleges at risk not to mention the baby" however she didn't she put it of until there was an accident in which Sheelagh collapsed in Custody and was rushed to hospital with a worried Des in hot pursuit. It turned out to be a false alarm Sheelagh and the baby were fine but now her secret was out, both Des and Patrick now new she's pregnant. Sheelagh was in total shock, she didn't think she could live a lie and pretend the baby was Patrick's when Des was the father – but she didn't think that Des would have stud by her. Patrick was thrilled to discover his wife was pregnant it just doesn't occur to him that he's not the father of her baby. Des meanwhile pestered Sheelagh to tell him who the father was. When she finally blurted it out, he was gob smacked and panicked. He wasn't sure he was ready for fatherhood. However after thinking about it he told her, he would stand by her and the baby. But there was something holding Des back and she knew it. On the day of the unveiling of the plaque for the victims who died in 2002 when the station was fire bombed. Des bottled out of his speech, there was also the fact that a private investigator had started to investigate Des about it, Sheelagh told him they don't have a future unless he can't be honest. So he had no choice but to tell her the truth about the Sun Hill, fire …
