Despite her engagement, she is attracted to senior sales representative Tim Canterbury who also feels the same way about her.

She resigns towards the end of the second series to move with fiancé Lee to Florida to stay with Lee's sister's family.

Her story continues in the Christmas Specials where she and Lee are living a dead end existence in Florida, both as illegal aliens since they aren't American citizens and barely making ends meet as it is. She decides to return back to Slough. She finally leaves Lee for the long-suffering Tim, after he encourages her to hold onto her dream of being a children's book illustrator, an ambition which Lee sought to put down at every opportunity.
