Cassandra's boss, and broke his nose, upon returning from Margate in "The Jolly Boys' Outing". They separated in the 1990 Christmas special "Rodney Come Home", and throughout the seventh series attempted to save their marriage; in "The Chance of a Lunchtime" Del played matchmaker, in order for them to re-unite. This worked, until Rodney was seen by Cassandra with one of Del's ex-fiancées, when he was accompanying her to a taxi because she was drunk. In "Three Men, a Woman and a Baby", Cassandra told Rodney that it was all over between them, until her mum insisted she should see their solicitor for advice, who told her that they should talk.

However, he frequently calls Del a "git" in the same way as Del would call him a "plonker", "wally" or "dipstick".
