Biography[]
Backstory[]
In the early 1960s, Roger Bannon took on Jim Robinson and an apprentice engineer. Roger became good friends with the Robinson's. Roger did seem to be sleazy around Anne Robinson, Jim's wife. One night in the summer of 1963, while Jim was away on business, Roger raped Anne. She became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter Julie Robinson in April 1964 as a result of the rape. Jim found out the truth and was hostile at first but later agreed to bring Julie up as his own child. The truth stayed hidden for 33 years, during which time Anne died in 1973. An old letter from Anne to Jim was kept. The truth finally emerged in June 1993 when Jim passed away. Julie read the letter and was shocked to find that her dad Jim was not her real father.
In his will, Jim had left his house No 26 Ramsay Street to Helen Daniels and when she died, all his children - except Julie. She had just been left Jim's share of the car yard. Julie was sifting through some letters and found out that Jim wasn't her real father. She later found out that her real father was Roger Bannon, but when she tracked down his wife Joyce Bannon, Joyce said Roger had died and that he was a womaniser who had raped Julie's mother.
