Pete, and they live together upstairs at The Black Swan. One night, Pete frames her for the murder of pub employee Josh Matthews, whom Siobhan had been in a relationship with, and who had discovered her marriage to Pete is bigamous. Siobhan goes to trial and is found guilty of manslaughter, being given a suspended sentence. She realises she had been framed by Pete, who had been tried alongside her but acquitted. Even though she had legally remarried him, she aborts their child and walks out on him. She becomes good friends with Roy, with whom she briefly had a relationship. She is unable to conceive after a car accident caused when Pete ran the car she was in off the road. She leaves in 2002. About a year after she left, it is reported that Siobhan had since remarried.

Cat was a blustery, boozy, cigarette puffing beautician. She first appeared in Charnham as the wife of philanderer Dave Matthews (Richard Hawley) and stepmother to Josh (Terry Burns). She ran a hairdressing salon on the site later taken by Roy Farmer's (Miles Petit) cybercafe, and she employed Yasmin McHugh (Ebony Thomas) as an apprentice hairdresser (Yasmin's mother, Dusty was a partner in the business), however the business soon failed. After Cat's marriage to Dave broke down she moved in with Pete Callan (David Easter). After several months Pete convinced her to transfer her home into his name for taxation reasons, and once she had done so revealed he had only moved in with her to con her out of her house. After the relationship ended she realised she was pregnant, and was initially unsure whether the child was Dave's or Pete's. After tests it was revealed to be Pete's. She gave birth to Pete's son, David (nicknamed Davie) in 2001. When Pete discovered he was the father, he was annoyed at Cat for putting down her ex-husband Dave as David
